Chegg, Inc. (CHGG) Securities Fraud Class Action:

The complaint alleges that Defendants misled investors about the sustainability and sources of Chegg's growth during the class period.

Specifically, while touting Chegg's explosive growth as an inevitable shift in higher education and due to its unique position to impact the future of the higher education ecosystem and its strong brand and momentum, Defendants omitted to disclose that (1) Chegg's subscriber and revenue growth was a temporary effect of the COVID-19 pandemic, and (2) its subscriber and revenue growth was also due to the facilitation of cheating.

Moreover, while defrauding investors, Chegg insiders dumped over $90 million of their company shares at inflated prices and Chegg raised over $1 billion through public offerings.

The truth emerged on Nov. 1, 2021, when Chegg stunned investors with its disappointing Q3 2021 financial results revealing materially fewer-than-expected enrollments, and the company declined to provide 2022 guidance.

On this news, the price of Chegg stock plummeted nearly 50%, erasing nearly $4.3 billion in market capitalization.

"We're focused on investors' losses and proving Chegg lied about the sources and sustainability of its continued growth," said Reed Kathrein, the Hagens Berman partner leading the investigation.
