Event Summary

Multiple investor-rights law firms, including Bronstein, Gewirtz & Grossman, LLC, Rosen Law Firm, Glancy Prongay & Murray, The Gross Law Firm, and The Law Offices of Frank R. Cruz, have filed class action lawsuits against LKQ Corporation. These lawsuits allege that LKQ Corporation made materially false and misleading statements regarding its acquisition and integration of FinishMaster, a subsidiary of Uni-Select. The complaints claim that LKQ Corporation misrepresented the acquisition as having 'minimal integration risk' and being a 'compelling strategic fit' that would enhance its business and drive profitable growth. In reality, FinishMaster was reportedly losing major customers and market share, negatively impacting LKQ Corporation's operational and financial performance. Investors who purchased LKQ Corporation securities between February 27, 2023, and July 23, 2025, are encouraged to join these lawsuits, with a lead plaintiff deadline of June 22, 2026.
