Event Summary

Multiple law firms, including Bronstein, Gewirtz & Grossman, LLC, Pomerantz LLP, The Schall Law Firm, Bragar Eagel & Squire, and Rosen Law Firm, have filed or announced class action lawsuits against Helen of Troy Limited (NASDAQ: HELE) and certain officers. The suits allege securities fraud during the Class Period from April 24, 2024 to October 8, 2025. The complaints claim Helen of Troy overstated the success of its Project Pegasus restructuring initiative, downplaying implementation issues at its Tennessee distribution center and lacking sufficient resources to achieve stated cost-saving goals. As a result, the company's public statements were allegedly false and misleading. The truth emerged through several earnings announcements: on July 9, 2024, Q1 FY2025 results showed a 49% EPS decline and a 20% revenue outlook cut, causing a 28% stock drop; on July 10, 2025, Q1 FY2026 results showed an 11% sales decline, a 60% adjusted EPS drop, and a $414.4 million goodwill impairment, causing a 23% stock drop; and on October 9, 2025, Q2 FY2026 results showed an 8.9% sales decline and a 51% adjusted EPS drop, causing a 25% stock drop. Investors have until August 3, 2026 to seek lead plaintiff appointment. The case is filed in the United States — United States District Court for the Northern District of California.
