Hagens Berman, a national shareholder rights law firm, announced on March 22 that investors in BellRing Brands, Inc. have until March 23 to seek lead plaintiff status in a securities fraud class action against the company and certain executives.
The case is significant for shareholders who experienced losses after BellRing’s share price dropped sharply following disclosures about the company’s sales growth. The lawsuit alleges that BellRing misled investors regarding the true drivers of its 2025 sales performance, which was reportedly influenced by retailers stockpiling inventory to avoid supply chain shortages. When these retailers began reducing their excess inventory, BellRing’s stock suffered a single-day decline of 33%.
Reed Kathrein, partner at Hagens Berman and leader of the investigation, said, “We are investigating whether BellRing’s purported competitive moat was actually a mirage created by retailers over-ordering to avoid empty shelves, as the suit contends.” The litigation claims that BellRing and its executives made misleading statements about the strength and sustainability of its sales growth and did not accurately disclose how competition affected demand for its products.
Investors who purchased shares between November 19, 2024 and August 4, 2025 are being advised by Kathrein to consider their legal options before the March 23 deadline. The law firm also encourages individuals with non-public information about BellRing to participate in the investigation or take advantage of the Securities and Exchange Commission Whistleblower program.
Hagens Berman describes itself as a global plaintiffs’ rights complex litigation firm focused on corporate accountability. According to its website, it has secured more than $2.9 billion in similar cases. More details can be found at hbsslaw.com.
