(“Splunk” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: SPLK) from August 26, 2020 through December 2, 2020 (the “Class Period”).

The complaint alleges that during the Class Period, defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Splunk was not closing deals with its largest customers in the third fiscal quarter of 2021; (2) Splunk was not hitting the financial targets it had previously announced; and (3) as a result of the foregoing, Defendants’ public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.
After the markets closed on December 2, 2020, Splunk announced its financial results for its third fiscal quarter for 2021, ended October 31, 2020. In this announcement, Splunk reported total revenues of $559 million, down 11% year-over-year and which missed estimates by nearly $60 million. Furthermore, Splunk announced quarterly non-GAAP earnings per share of -$0.07, missing estimates by 15 cents, as well as GAAP earnings per share of -$1.26, missing by 24 cents per share.
On this news, shares of Splunk common stock plummeted, closing at just $158.03 per share on December 3, 2020, down over 23% from the December 2, 2020 closing price of $205.91 per share.
