SMPL INVESTOR ALERT: Wolf Popper LLP Notifies The Simply Good Foods Company Investors of a Securities Fraud Class Action Lawsuit
Investors Who Purchased The Simply Good Foods Company Common Stock Between October 24, 2024 and April 8, 2026 May Seek Appointment as Lead Plaintiff by October 13, 2026
NEW YORK, Aug. 26, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Wolf Popper LLP, a law firm representing investors in securities litigation, announces that a securities class action lawsuit has been filed against The Simply Good Foods Company (“Simply Good” or the “Company” (NASDAQ: SMPL).
The action is brought on behalf of investors who purchased or otherwise acquired Simply Good common stock between October 24, 2024 and April 8, 2026, inclusive. The deadline to seek appointment as lead plaintiff is October 13, 2026.
The case, Monroe County Employees’ Retirement System v. The Simply Good Foods Company, No. 26-cv-06971, is pending in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York.
WHAT IS THE CASE ABOUT?
The lawsuit centers on Simply Good’s approximately $280 million acquisition of Only What You Need, Inc. (“OWYN”) and the Company’s statements concerning the integration, performance, and prospects of the acquired business.
The complaint alleges that those assurances failed to disclose significant problems affecting the OWYN business, including:
- the loss of key managerial personnel following the acquisition;
- an efficient and increasingly layered organizational structure created in response to those personnel losses;
- product quality problems associated with a new pea-protein supplier that allegedly affected the taste, texture, and shelf life of OWYN products;
- declining consumer demand, negative product reviews, and lost distributor relationships;
- increased discounting and promotional activity intended to stimulate sales, which allegedly pressured margins without producing the desired turnaround; and
- reductions in brand support and marketing that allegedly further weakened OWYN sales.
According to the complaint, these problems undermined the strategic and financial rationale for the OWYN acquisition while Simply Good continued to make positive statements concerning the business and its integration.
WHAT HAPPENED?
On October 23, 2025, Simply Good disclosed that OWYN’s sales growth had slowed and that consumer consumption had been negatively affected by a product-quality issue. Simply Good shares declined more than 17% that day, according to the complaint.
Then, on April 9, 2026, Simply Good reported that OWYN quarterly sales had fallen nearly 17% year over year and recorded an approximately $187 million impairment charge related to OWYN. Management also acknowledged that certain strategic decisions had ultimately weakened the business’s performance. Simply Good shares declined more than 27% over the following two trading days.
The lawsuit alleges that investors purchased Simply Good shares at artificially inflated prices as a result of defendants’ materially false and misleading statements and omissions.
