Kirby McInerney LLP has filed a securities fraud class action lawsuit against Coty Inc. on behalf of investors who purchased securities between November 5, 2025 and February 4, 2026.

The company's February 4-5, 2026 earnings announcements revealed significant underperformance, leading to a stock price decline of approximately 23.6% over two trading days, a CEO transition, and withdrawal of fiscal year 2026 guidance.
