Kaplan Fox Reminds Embecta Corp. (EMBC) Investors of a Securities Class Action Deadline on August 17, 2026

New York, New York--(Newsfile Corp. - August 11, 2026)--Kaplan Fox & Kilsheimer LLP announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed against Embecta Corp. ("Embecta" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: EMBC) on behalf of investors that purchased or otherwise acquired Embecta securities between November 25, 2025 and May 4, 2026 (the "Class Period").

On May 5, 2026, Embecta reported its second quarter fiscal 2026 financial results for the period ending March 31, 2026. The press release stated "[w]e were disappointed with our second quarter results as they were significantly below our expectations." Among other things, Embecta reported second quarter 2026 adjusted earnings per share of $0.27 compared to $0.70 in the prior year period and reduced its fiscal 2026 revenue guidance to a range of between $1.015 billion and $1.035 billion from its previous guidance range of between $1.071 billion and $1.093 billion. Following this news, the price of Embecta stock fell $5.35 per share, over 57%, to close at $3.90 per share.

The complaint alleges, among other things, that Defendants "knew or recklessly disregarded that segment weakness, especially in the United States pen needle market, was likely to disrupt the Company's original revenue guidance and second quarter 2026 results," yet "management reaffirmed guidance during the Company's first quarter 2026 earnings call . . . ."
