Driven Brands is facing multiple class action lawsuits for securities fraud, initiated by firms including Rosen Law Firm, Bleichmar Fonti & Auld LLP, The Schall Law Firm, and Hagens Berman. These lawsuits allege that Driven Brands made false and misleading statements and failed to disclose its true financial condition and the effectiveness of its internal controls over financial reporting. The company admitted to material accounting errors in its financial statements for fiscal years 2023 and 2024, as well as quarterly and year-to-date financials for 2025, and revealed material weaknesses in its internal controls. These disclosures led to a nearly 40% decline in Driven Brands' stock price on February 25, 2026. Investors who purchased Driven Brands common stock between May 9, 2023, and February 24, 2026, are encouraged to join the class actions, with a lead plaintiff deadline of May 8, 2026.
