The Allegations: Robbins LLP is Investigating Allegations that Vestis Corporation (VSTS) Misled Investors regarding Customer Growth
According to the complaint, defendants failed to disclose to investors that Vestis would be unable to execute on planned strategic initiatives to drive purported improvements to the customer experience and its onboarding efforts in order to drive new customer growth, increased customer retention, and increased revenue from existing customers. The complaint alleges that these statements caused stockholders to purchase Vestis' securities at artificially inflated prices.
According to the complaint, on May 7, 2025, Vestis announced its financial results for the second quarter of fiscal 2025, withdrew its revenue and growth guidance for the full fiscal year 2025, and provided guidance for the third quarter of fiscal 2025 that fell significantly below market expectations. The Company attributed its poor results partially to 'lost business in excess of new business,' but primarily on 'lower adds over stops, which is how we describe volume changes with our existing customers.' The Company attributed its decision to pull full-year guidance and provide disappointing third quarter targets to the 'increasingly uncertain macro environment.'
On this news, the price of Vestis' common stock fell from a closing market price of $8.71 per share on May 6, 2025, to $5.44 per share on May 7, 2025, a decline of about 37.54% in the span of just a single day.

Two Workers for SEC's EDGAR System Charged With Insider Trading
(Bloomberg) -- Two men who worked for the Securities and Exchange Commission's EDGAR public filing system were charged with insider trading after allegedly pocketing $1 million by stealing non-public information obtained through their jobs. Philadelphia Transit System Votes to Cut Service by 45%, Hike Fares US Renters Face Storm of Rising Costs Squeezed by Crowds, the Roads of Central Park Are Being Reimagined Sprawl Is Still Not the Answer Mapping the Architectural History of New York's Chinatown Justin Chen and Jun Zhen, both of Brooklyn, New York, were charged in a federal complaint with obtaining material, non-public information about companies like Purple Innovation Inc., Ondas Holdings Inc., SigmaTron International Inc., and Signing Day Sports Inc. through their work at EDGAR, according to Brooklyn US Attorney Joseph Nocella. Prosecutors say that between March and June 2025 the pair engaged in a scheme to obtain information about these companies, which announced they had entered into merger agreements or partnerships 'that resulted in significant increases in the share price of each company's stock.' Chen, 31, and Zhen, 29, purchased shares in the companies before the announcements, 'and sold those shares at a significant profit immediately after the announcement,' according to a complaint filed in federal court in Brooklyn. 'In total, Chen and Zhen have made a profit of more than $1 million from their trading.' Agents with the Federal Bureau of Investigation arrested Chen and Zhen Friday night at John F. Kennedy International Airport as they were planning to board a flight to Hong Kong, said John Marzulli, a spokesman for Nocella. Chen worked as an EDGAR operator and assistant manager while Zhen worked as an EDGAR operator and typeset manager, prosecutors said. The two had access to the company announcements before they were filed. Both men are charged with securities fraud, which carries a prison term of as long as 25 years, prosecutors said. Chen and Zhen made their initial court appearances in federal court in Brooklyn on Saturday before US Magistrate Judge Vera Scanlon, who ordered them held without bail. Chris Wright, a lawyer for Zhen, and Charles Millioen, a lawyer for Chen, didn't immediately return email messages seeking comment about their clients.

Lynas Rare Earths Limited's (ASX:LYC) institutional investors lost 4.3% last week but have benefitted from longer-term gains
Significantly high institutional ownership implies Lynas Rare Earths' stock price is sensitive to their trading actions The top 8 shareholders own 50% of the company Insiders have sold recently We've found 21 US stocks that are forecast to pay a dividend yield of over 6% next year. See the full list for free. If you want to know who really controls Lynas Rare Earths Limited (ASX:LYC), then you'll have to look at the makeup of its share registry. And the group that holds the biggest piece of the pie are institutions with 57% ownership. In other words, the group stands to gain the most (or lose the most) from their investment into the company. Losing money on investments is something no shareholder enjoys, least of all institutional investors who saw their holdings value drop by 4.3% last week. However, the 50% one-year return to shareholders might have softened the blow. But they would probably be wary of future losses. Let's delve deeper into each type of owner of Lynas Rare Earths, beginning with the chart below. See our latest analysis for Lynas Rare Earths Institutional investors commonly compare their own returns to the returns of a commonly followed index. So they generally do consider buying larger companies that are included in the relevant benchmark index. As you can see, institutional investors have a fair amount of stake in Lynas Rare Earths. This suggests some credibility amongst professional investors. But we can't rely on that fact alone since institutions make bad investments sometimes, just like everyone does. When multiple institutions own a stock, there's always a risk that they are in a 'crowded trade'. When such a trade goes wrong, multiple parties may compete to sell stock fast. This risk is higher in a company without a history of growth. You can see Lynas Rare Earths' historic earnings and revenue below, but keep in mind there's always more to the story. Since institutional investors own more than half the issued stock, the board will likely have to pay attention to their preferences. Lynas Rare Earths is not owned by hedge funds. Australian Super Pty Ltd is currently the company's largest shareholder with 9.5% of shares outstanding. For context, the second largest shareholder holds about 8.5% of the shares outstanding, followed by an ownership of 8.2% by the third-largest shareholder. On further inspection, we found that more than half the company's shares are owned by the top 8 shareholders, suggesting that the interests of the larger shareholders are balanced out to an extent by the smaller ones. While it makes sense to study institutional ownership data for a company, it also makes sense to study analyst sentiments to know which way the wind is blowing. Quite a few analysts cover the stock, so you could look into forecast growth quite easily. The definition of an insider can differ slightly between different countries, but members of the board of directors always count. The company management answer to the board and the latter should represent the interests of shareholders. Notably, sometimes top-level managers are on the board themselves. Insider ownership is positive when it signals leadership are thinking like the true owners of the company. However, high insider ownership can also give immense power to a small group within the company. This can be negative in some circumstances. Our information suggests that Lynas Rare Earths Limited insiders own under 1% of the company. However, it's possible that insiders might have an indirect interest through a more complex structure. Keep in mind that it's a big company, and the insiders own AU$33m worth of shares. The absolute value might be more important than the proportional share. It is good to see board members owning shares, but it might be worth checking if those insiders have been buying. The general public, who are usually individual investors, hold a 31% stake in Lynas Rare Earths. While this size of ownership may not be enough to sway a policy decision in their favour, they can still make a collective impact on company policies. We can see that Private Companies own 12%, of the shares on issue. It's hard to draw any conclusions from this fact alone, so its worth looking into who owns those private companies. Sometimes insiders or other related parties have an interest in shares in a public company through a separate private company. While it is well worth considering the different groups that own a company, there are other factors that are even more important. Case in point: We've spotted 3 warning signs for Lynas Rare Earths you should be aware of, and 1 of them is a bit unpleasant. But ultimately it is the future, not the past, that will determine how well the owners of this business will do. Therefore we think it advisable to take a look at this free report showing whether analysts are predicting a brighter future.
