The complaint asserts securities fraud claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 on behalf of investors in Rackspace securities. The class action is pending in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. It is captioned Morgan-Reed v. Rackspace Technology, Inc., No. 26-cv-6491.

Rackspace is a hybrid cloud and AI solutions company that operates physical infrastructure to host cloud services and artificial intelligence. The company also provides Rackspace AI, a portfolio of AI services to help organizations scale AI adoption. During the relevant period, the company announced it signed a memorandum of understanding with Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. ("AMD") to assist in building out its AI infrastructure and enhance its AI capabilities. That same day, the company reaffirmed its full year revenue guidance. Rackspace told investors that the "AMD piece really fits into how" the company's technology stack operates. Rackspace also stated that the AMD partnership "give[s] [the Company] confidence in the full year Private Cloud growth profile." As alleged, in truth, the company's AI efforts would require Rackspace to significantly re-prioritize its capacity and pull capacity away from revenue generating segments.

On July 9, 2026, Rackspace revealed that its AI investments would require a significant re-prioritization of resources and a "transition away" from certain revenue generating segments. As a result, Rackspace revealed it was cutting its full year 2026 revenue guidance by $150 million and its full year Private Cloud revenue outlook by $25 million. This news caused the price of Rackspace stock to decline $2.21 per share, or 33.6%, from a closing price of $6.58 per share on July 8, 2026, to $4.37 per share on July 9, 2026.
