Event Summary

Pomerantz LLP is investigating The Fitness Planet, Inc. for alleged securities fraud and unlawful business practices.

Consequently, The Fitness Planet reduced its 2026 growth expectations across several metrics, including system-wide same club sales, revenue, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income, and adjusted diluted EPS. Following this news, The Fitness Planet's stock price plummeted by $19.95 per share, or 31.19%, closing at $44.01 per share on May 7, 2026.
