The lawsuit has been filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York on behalf of all those who purchased Beazer Homes securities between August 1, 2014 and May 2, 2019 (the “Class Period”). The case, Strougo v. Beazer Homes USA, Inc. et al., No. 19-cv-05301 was filed on June 5, 2019.

The lawsuit focuses on whether the Company and its executives violated federal securities laws by making false and/or misleading statements and/or failing to disclose that: (1) Beazer Homes’ California assets classified as land held for future development were deteriorating in value or improperly valuated; (2) the foregoing created a foreseeable risk of an eventual substantial impairment that would negatively impact the profitability of the Company; and (3) as a result, the Company’s public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.

On May 2, 2019, Beazer Homes issued a press release announcing its financial and operating results for the second quarter of 2019. Among other issues, Beazer Homes announced a net loss from continuing operations of $100.8 million for the quarter, reflecting a $147.6 million impairment on certain California assets the Company had acquired before 2007. According to Defendants, all of the assets at issue were either currently or previously classified as land held for future development.

On this news, Beazer's stock price fell from $14.24 per share on May 2, 2019 to $12.51 per share on May 3, 2019: a $1.73 or 12.15% drop.

The court-appointed lead plaintiff is the investor with the largest financial interest in the relief sought by the class who is adequate and typical of class members who directs and oversees the litigation on behalf of the putative class. Any member of the putative class may move the Court to serve as lead plaintiff through counsel of their choice, or may choose to do nothing and remain an absent class member. Your ability to share in any recovery is not affected by the decision to serve as a lead plaintiff or not. 

Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP also encourages anyone with information regarding Beazer Homes’ conduct to contact the firm, including whistleblowers, former employees, shareholders and others.
