Event Summary

Bronstein, Gewirtz & Grossman, LLC has filed a class action lawsuit against LKQ Corporation and its officers. The lawsuit alleges that LKQ Corporation made materially false and misleading statements regarding its acquisition and integration of FinishMaster between February 27, 2023, and July 23, 2025. Specifically, the complaint claims that the acquisition was not the 'minimal integration risk' or 'compelling strategic fit' as represented, and that FinishMaster did not meaningfully improve LKQ Corporation's scale or product mix in the North American automotive paint segment. Investors who acquired LKQ Corporation securities during this period are encouraged to join the lawsuit, with a lead plaintiff deadline of June 22, 2026.
