A September 14, 2026 deadline applies to investors seeking lead-plaintiff status. Notices were issued by Hagens Berman, Pomerantz, SueWallSt, and Portnoy Law.
- Negative Sentiment: Additional law firms, including Faruqi & Faruqi, Schall Brown & Schwartz, and Levi & Korsinsky, reiterated the pending litigation and encouraged affected shareholders to participate.
