Papa John’s Securities Class Action – PZZA

A securities class action has been filed against Papa John’s International, Inc. (“Papa John’s,” “Papa Johns” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: PZZA) and certain executive officers on behalf of investors who purchased or otherwise acquired Papa John’s common stock between August 7, 2025 and August 5, 2026, inclusive (the “Class Period”).

The action, Hale v. Papa John’s International, Inc., et al., Case No. 3:26-cv-00685-DJH, was filed on September 2, 2026 in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Kentucky. The complaint alleges violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder.

What Does the Papa John’s Securities Class Action Allege?

The complaint alleges that defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements concerning the effectiveness of the Company’s strategic transformation and its projected growth outlook for North America.

Specifically, the complaint alleges that defendants represented that Papa Johns was making substantial progress on its transformation, that its rebuilt innovation pipeline, competitive price points, and promotional efforts would help drive new-customer growth, and that its 2026 projections appropriately accounted for a cautious consumer and highly promotional competitive environment. The complaint alleges that, in truth, the transformation was taking considerably longer than projected, Papa Johns was not bringing in as many new customers as expected, and the Company was ill-equipped to “meet the consumer where they’re at.”

The August 6, 2026 Disclosure and PZZA Stock Decline

According to the complaint, on August 6, 2026, Papa Johns reported that North America comparable sales decreased 8.3% year over year and announced that its Board had suspended the Company’s quarterly dividend beginning with the third quarter of 2026. Papa Johns also reduced its 2026 North America comparable-sales outlook from a decline of 2% to 4% to a decline of 6% to 8% and lowered its adjusted EBITDA outlook from $200 million–$210 million to $180 million–$190 million.

The complaint further alleges that management acknowledged that the Company’s transformation was “taking longer than expected,” that Papa Johns needed to “execute better and move faster,” and that its rebuilt innovation pipeline was not bringing in as many new customers as expected. The Company also announced plans to invest approximately $35 million in total supplemental marketing and franchisee subsidies, including an incremental $18 million for the back half of 2026 to accelerate its transformation.

The complaint alleges that, following these disclosures, Papa John’s common stock fell from a closing price of $29.75 per share on August 5, 2026 to $24.64 per share on August 6, 2026, a decline of approximately 17.18% in one day.

    TIAA Cash Sweep Class Action

    Did TIAA Pay You Unreasonably Low Interest on Your IRA Cash?

    Kehoe Law Firm is evaluating potential claims on behalf of TIAA customers with individual retirement accounts (“IRAs”) whose uninvested cash was placed in the Bank Deposit Sweep Program and who may have been credited interest at allegedly unreasonably low rates.

    A proposed class action against TIAA-CREF Individual & Institutional Services, LLC (doing business through TIAA Brokerage Division) and TIAA Trust, N.A. alleges that TIAA automatically swept uninvested cash in certain IRAs into a bank deposit sweep program that paid unreasonably low interest rates, even though higher-yielding options allegedly were available for eligible accounts.

    If you have or had a TIAA IRA and uninvested cash was placed in TIAA’s Bank Deposit Sweep Program, contact Kehoe Law Firm to discuss your account and potential legal rights without cost or obligation.

    Details of the TIAA Cash Sweep Class Action

    On September 1, 2026, a proposed class action, Powlen v. TIAA-CREF Individual & Institutional Services, LLC and TIAA Trust, N.A., Case No. 1:26-cv-07494, was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. The complaint challenges TIAA’s automatic Bank Deposit Sweep Program for certain IRA customers.

    The complaint alleges that eligible uninvested cash was automatically swept into FDIC-insured bank deposit accounts while a higher-yielding money market fund option was available through TIAA’s platform. It further alleges that TIAA’s agreements promised that swept deposits would bear a “reasonable rate of interest,” but the rates credited to customers remained materially below short-term market benchmarks and TIAA’s own higher-yielding alternatives.

    What Does the Complaint Allege?

    According to the complaint, TIAA’s bank sweep rate changed only modestly while short-term interest rates rose substantially. For example, the complaint alleges that by June 2023 the Federal Funds Rate was 5.08% while the TIAA sweep rate was 1.00%. It also alleges that TIAA displayed materially higher rates for certain managed, overflow and money market options while keeping eligible customers in the lower-yield bank sweep program.

    The complaint alleges that TIAA and its affiliates benefited economically from swept customer cash and that TIAA’s compensation structure created incentives to use sweep options that generated greater compensation. Customers allegedly received less interest than they would have received if TIAA had paid a reasonable rate or used available higher-yielding options.

    Who Is Included in the Proposed Class?

    The complaint seeks to represent all individual retirement account customers of the defendants who had cash deposits or balances in the defendants’ Bank Deposit Sweep Programs within the applicable statute of limitations.

    Claims and Relief Sought

    The complaint asserts claims for breach of contract and breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing. It seeks, among other relief, certification of the proposed class, damages including alleged lost interest, declaratory and appropriate injunctive or equitable relief, pre- and post-judgment interest, and attorneys’ fees and costs to the extent authorized.

    TIAA Customers: Contact Kehoe Law Firm

    TIAA customers with individual retirement accounts may have potential claims if their uninvested cash was placed in the Bank Deposit Sweep Program and credited interest at allegedly unreasonably low rates.

    If you have or had a TIAA IRA with cash held in the Bank Deposit Sweep Program, contact Kehoe Law Firm to discuss your account and legal rights.

      Nikon Tariff Refund Class Action – Consumer Claims

      A proposed class action filed against Nikon Americas Inc. and Nikon Inc. alleges that consumers paid higher prices for Nikon products because tariff-related costs were passed through to customers, while Nikon is separately pursuing refunds of duties imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA).

      If you purchased Nikon, Hermès, Swatch, or other imported consumer products and paid higher prices tied to IEEPA tariffs, Kehoe Law Firm is evaluating potential consumer claims involving tariff-related price increases and potential refunds of those increased costs. Contact Kehoe Law Firm to discuss your purchase and legal rights without cost or obligation.

      Details of the Nikon Tariff Class Action

      On September 2, 2026, a proposed class action, Scheflen v. Nikon Americas Inc. and Nikon Inc., Case No. 2:26-cv-05455, was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York. The complaint alleges that Nikon passed IEEPA-related tariff costs to consumers through increased pricing and is pursuing recovery of IEEPA duties through litigation in the U.S. Court of International Trade.

      According to the complaint, Nikon made the decision to increase its U.S. retail prices effective June 23, 2025. The complaint alleges that, as a direct result of Nikon’s pass-through pricing, consumers paid more for tariffed goods than they would have absent the IEEPA tariffs. It further alleges that Nikon filed multiple actions in the U.S. Court of International Trade on March 24, 2026 to recover IEEPA refunds and has made no commitment to return any portion of the anticipated tariff refunds to consumers who ultimately paid such costs.

      Who Is Included in the Proposed Class?

      The complaint seeks to represent a nationwide class of all individuals in the United States who purchased, through any retail channel, any Nikon product subject to the IEEPA-based tariffs from February 1, 2025 through February 24, 2026. It also seeks to represent a New York subclass consisting of members of the nationwide class who purchased any Nikon product in the State of New York during that period.

      What Does the Complaint Allege?

      The complaint alleges that Nikon increased U.S. retail prices effective June 23, 2025 to pass through costs associated with the IEEPA tariffs. As a result, consumers allegedly paid a tariff-related price premium on Nikon products subject to those tariffs.

      Nikon later filed multiple actions in the U.S. Court of International Trade seeking refunds of IEEPA duties. The complaint alleges that allowing Nikon to retain the tariff-related price premium paid by consumers while also recovering the same tariff costs from the federal government would result in a double recovery.

      Claims and Relief Sought

      The complaint asserts claims for unjust enrichment, money had and received, declaratory judgment, and, on behalf of the proposed New York subclass, violation of New York General Business Law § 349. It seeks, among other relief, certification of the proposed nationwide class and New York subclass, declaratory and equitable relief, actual, compensatory, and statutory damages, treble damages as allowed under New York law, restitution, attorneys’ fees and costs, and prejudgment and post-judgment interest.

      No class has been certified, and the allegations in the complaint have not been proven.

      Consumers Who Paid Tariff-Related Price Increases: Contact Kehoe Law Firm

      Kehoe Law Firm is evaluating potential consumer claims involving price increases tied to IEEPA tariffs and whether consumers may be entitled to recover amounts they paid as a result of those increases.

      FuelCell Energy Securities Class Action – FCEL Investors

      FuelCell Energy Securities Class Action Filed

      A securities class action has been filed against FuelCell Energy, Inc. (“FuelCell” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: FCEL) and certain of its officers on behalf of investors who purchased or otherwise acquired FuelCell securities between June 24, 2026 and September 1, 2026, inclusive (the “Class Period”), and were damaged thereby.

      The action is captioned Nguyen v. FuelCell Energy, Inc., et al., Case No. 1:26-cv-07953, filed September 11, 2026 in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. The complaint asserts claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and SEC Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder.

      Investors who purchased or otherwise acquired FuelCell securities between June 24, 2026 and September 1, 2026 may have legal rights and are encouraged to contact Kehoe Law Firm, P.C. to discuss their legal rights without cost or obligation.

      What Does the Complaint Allege?

      The complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, the defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements and failed to disclose material adverse facts concerning FuelCell’s business, operations, and prospects.

      Specifically, the complaint alleges that the defendants failed to disclose that FuelCell’s manufacturing capacity was inadequate to generate the production rate required under its capital equipment purchase agreement (“CEPA”) with Fit Energy USA LP; that the annualized production rate for deliveries under the CEPA was slower than expected; and that FuelCell was incurring higher product costs and manufacturing overhead expenses as a result.

      The complaint further alleges that the slower production rate made it reasonably likely that FuelCell would incur charges in connection with the CEPA, that these circumstances constituted a known trend affecting the Company’s profitability, and that the defendants’ positive statements about FuelCell’s business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.

      FuelCell’s September 2, 2026 Disclosures

      According to the complaint, on September 2, 2026, before the market opened, FuelCell reported its fiscal third-quarter 2026 financial results, including a net loss of $45.3 million.

      FuelCell disclosed that the gross loss from product revenues reflected product costs and manufacturing overhead that exceeded the contractual pricing established under the CEPA with Fit Energy. The Company reported an annualized production rate of approximately 37.1 MW during the quarter, which remained below the production volume at which FuelCell expected its cost structure to align with market-based pricing for orders of that scale.

      FuelCell also recorded $17.0 million in charges associated with specific inventory and firm purchase commitments arising from Phase 0 of the CEPA with Fit Energy.

      The complaint alleges that, following these disclosures, FuelCell shares fell $2.68, or 15.69%, to close at $14.40 per share on September 2, 2026, on unusually heavy trading volume.

      November 10, 2026 Lead Plaintiff Deadline

      Investors who wish to seek appointment as lead plaintiff must do so by November 10, 2026. Investors do not need to seek appointment as lead plaintiff to remain potential members of the proposed class or to be eligible to share in any potential recovery.

        Hims & Hers Health Securities Class Action – HIMS

        A securities class action has been filed against Hims & Hers Health, Inc. (“Hims” or the “Company”) (NYSE: HIMS) and certain executive officers on behalf of investors who purchased or otherwise acquired Hims securities between August 4, 2025 and July 29, 2026, inclusive (the “Class Period”).

        The action, Velanki v. Hims & Hers Health, Inc., et al., Case No. 5:26-cv-09313-EKL, was filed on September 1, 2026 in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California. The complaint asserts claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder.

        If you acquired Hims securities during the Class Period and suffered a financial loss, contact Kehoe Law Firm to discuss your legal rights without cost or obligation.

        What Does the Hims & Hers Health Securities Class Action Allege?

        The complaint alleges that Hims made materially false and/or misleading statements and failed to disclose material adverse facts concerning the Company’s business, operations, and prospects.

        Specifically, the complaint alleges that Hims shared consumers’ health information with third-party advertising platforms and charged consumers for prescriptions almost immediately after they submitted an intake form, despite telling consumers that they would be able to consult with a medical provider to find a treatment that was “right for them.”

        The complaint further alleges that this conduct subjected Hims to regulatory scrutiny and made Hims reasonably likely to incur fees and penalties. As a result, the complaint alleges that defendants’ positive statements about Hims’ business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.

        The July 29, 2026 FTC Lawsuit and HIMS Stock Decline

        According to the complaint, on July 29, 2026, during market hours, the Federal Trade Commission announced that it had filed a lawsuit against Hims alleging that the telehealth provider shared consumers’ sensitive health information with third-party advertising platforms, despite claiming that its services maintained consumers’ privacy, and deceived users about its billing and cancellation practices.

        The complaint further alleges that, on this news, HIMS shares declined $4.32, or 14.73%, to close at $25.00 on July 29, 2026, on unusually heavy trading volume.

        Review the Hims & Hers Health Securities Class Action Complaint

        IMPORTANT: This action is distinct from the earlier Hims & Hers securities litigation, which involves allegations concerning the Company’s relationship with Novo Nordisk and was consolidated as In re Hims & Hers Health, Inc. Securities Litigation, No. 25-cv-05315.
