The complaint alleges that Defendants misled investors regarding the Company's financial health by issuing materially misstated financial statements from fiscal year 2023 through the first three quarters of fiscal year 2025, while simultaneously concealing material weaknesses in the Company's internal controls over financial reporting throughout the Class Period. The truth emerged before markets opened on February 25, 2026. On that date, Driven Brands revealed that it had "concluded there were material errors" in its financial statements for fiscal years 2023 and 2024, as well as all quarterly and year-to-date periods in fiscal year 2024 and the first three quarterly and year-to-date periods of fiscal year 2025, and as a result, those financial statements "should not be relied upon" and would require restatement. On this news, the price of Driven Brands common stock fell $5.01 per share, or about 30%, from a closing price of $16.61 per share on February 24, 2026, to a closing price of $11.60 per share on February 25, 2026.
