NEW YORK, Feb. 24, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --

What’s Happening:

  • Bragar Eagel & Squire, P.C., a nationally recognized stockholder rights law firm, announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed against Lakeland Industries, Inc. (“Lakeland” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ:LAKE) in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York on behalf of all persons and entities who purchased or otherwise acquired Lakeland securities between December 1, 2023 and December 9, 2025, both dates inclusive (the “Class Period”). Investors have until April 24, 2026 to apply to the Court to be appointed as lead plaintiff in the lawsuit.

Allegation Details:

  • The lawsuit alleges that Defendants issued false and misleading statements and/or failed to disclose material adverse facts regarding Lakeland’s business, operations, and prospects, including allegations that: (1) Lakeland was experiencing significant, sustained issues with its Pacific Helmets and Jolly businesses, including, inter alia, shipping-related delays, production issues, and slower than expected rollout of new products; (2) accordingly, Defendants overstated the anticipated and actual positive impact of these businesses on Lakeland's financial results, as well as the overall strength and quality of Pacific Helmets' and Jolly's respective operations; (3) Lakeland's business and financial results were significantly deteriorating because of, inter alia, tariff-related headwinds and timing, certification delays, and material flow issues in its acquired businesses; (4) accordingly, Defendants overstated the strength of their tariff mitigation measures and SSQ M&A strategy; (5) as a result of all the foregoing issues, Defendants' financial guidance was unreliable; and (6) as a result, Defendants' public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.

  • On December 9, 2025, the Company reported third quarter earnings, including “net sales of $47.6 million for Q3 2026, with adjusted EBITDA, excluding FX, at $200,000—a decrease of $4.5 million or 95% compared with the prior year period.” Further, “net loss was $16 million or ($1.64) per basic and diluted share versus net income of $100,000 or $0.01 per share in the prior-year quarter.”

  • During Lakeland’s third-quarter earnings call, the Company’s CEO, James Jenkins, attributed results in part to “delays in certification.” Jenkins further revealed “we knew that, that certification was coming in March of '26.”

  • On this news, Lakeland’s stock price fell $5.85 per share, or 38.97%, to close at $9.16 per share on December 10, 2025.
