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 Embecta common stock. The class action is pending in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey. It is captioned Apitz-Grossman v. Embecta Corp., et al., No. 26-cv-07217.
Why is Embecta Being Sued for Securities Fraud?
Embecta is a medical device company that produces insulin pens for patients with diabetes. According to the complaint, during the relevant period, Embecta touted the strength of its insulin pen portfolio stating that “prescriptions for insulin pens have been showing a slight positive trend . . . just exemplifying the resilience of this product portfolio.”
As alleged, in truth, Embecta faced significant competition and “overall market softness for insulin pens and pen needles.”
Why did Embecta’s Stock Drop?
On May 5, 2026, Embecta announced disappointing Q2 2026 results that came in below guidance due to share loss within its pen needle product category, most of which was from a single customer. Embecta also reported an “overall market volume softness for insulin pens and pen needles in the retail channel,” admitting that “we have now begun to see a decline [for insulin pens] maybe more pronounced in the most recent quarter that we reported.” As a result, Embecta also reduced its quarterly dividend from $0.15 to $0.01 per share.
This news caused the price of Embecta common stock to decline $5.35 per share, or 57.8%, from $9.25 per share on May 4, 2026, to $3.90 per share on May 5, 2026.
