Investors have until July 8, 2025, to ask the Court to be appointed to lead the case. The complaint asserts claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 on behalf of investors who purchased Compass securities. The case is pending in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California and is captioned Matthews v. Compass Group Diversified Holdings, Inc., et al., No. 25-cv-981.
Why was Compass Sued for Securities Fraud?
Compass is a statutory trust that acquires and manages a group of small and middle-market businesses. This includes Lugano Holdings, Inc. ('Lugano'), a designer, manufacturer, and marketer of high-end jewelry.
Compass admitted that its fiscal 2022-2024 financial statements contained material misstatements relating to unrecorded financing arrangements and irregularities identified in sales, cost of sales, inventory, and accounts receivable recorded by Lugano.
The Stock Declines as the Truth is Revealed
On May 7, 2025, after the market closed, Compass announced that investors should not rely on its fiscal 2024 financial statements amid an ongoing internal investigation, led by outside counsel and a forensic accounting firm, into Lugano. The Company also announced that it intended to delay the filing of its Q1 2025 financial results, and that Lugano's founder and CEO, Moti Ferder, resigned from his positions at Lugano and will not receive any severance compensation. On this news, the price of Compass stock declined roughly 62%, from $17.25 per share on May 7, 2025, to $6.55 per share on May 8, 2025.
Then, on June 25, 2025, Compass announced that investors should not rely on its fiscal 2022 and 2023 financial statements amid the ongoing internal investigation into Lugano.

If You Bought 1 Share of Walmart at Its IPO, Here's How Many Shares You'd Own Now
Key Points Investors continue to gravitate to influential businesses conducting stock splits. Since its October 1970 initial public offering (IPO), Walmart has effected a dozen forward splits. Walmart has a shopping cart full of competitive edges, including its size and willingness to lean on innovation. 10 stocks we like better than Walmart › For years, stock splits have been one of the most exciting trends on Wall Street. A stock split is a tool public companies have available that allows them to adjust their share price and outstanding share count by the same factor. These changes are surface-scratching in that they don't impact a company's market cap or operating performance. Businesses completing forward stock splits (designed to reduce a company's share price to make it more nominally affordable for everyday investors) have a knack for outperforming -- which is something the shareholders of retail goliath Walmart (NYSE: WMT) know all too well. Walmart's stock-split history is a marvel Walmart's initial public offering (IPO) occurred on Oct. 1, 1970, with the company pricing its shares at $16.50. In the nearly 55 years since its IPO, this retail colossus has completed 12 forward splits: May 1971: 2-for-1 stock split March 1972: 2-for-1 August 1975: 2-for-1 November 1980: 2-for-1 June 1982: 2-for-1 June 1983: 2-for-1 September 1985: 2-for-1 June 1987: 2-for-1 June 1990: 2-for-1 February 1993: 2-for-1 March 1999: 2-for-1 February 2024: 3-for-1 If you had spent $16.50 to purchase one share of Walmart at its IPO, you'd now have 6,144 shares worth $586,076, not including dividends. Not too shabby! Walmart's competitive edge is on full display One of the reasons Walmart is so dominant is its size. Being able to buy products in bulk reduces its per-unit cost and allows it to undercut local retailers and even some national grocery chains on price. It offers a value proposition that few retailers can match. In addition to its sheer size, Walmart is leaning on innovation and digitization to drive gains. Relying on automation and artificial intelligence-optimized supply chains, along with building out its high-margin Walmart+ subscription service, have the needle pointing higher. With a 52-year streak (and counting) of dividend increases in its sails, Walmart shows no signs of slowing down. Should you invest $1,000 in Walmart right now?

3 Dividend Stocks to Hold for the Next 10 Years
Key Points American Express gets money from its card and also by providing loans. Coca-Cola's global footprint is a strength. McDonald's is the world's top fast-food franchise and plans to open 2,200 new locations this year. 10 stocks we like better than Coca-Cola › I've always appreciated dividend stocks as a solid strategy for any investment portfolio. While I recognize the importance of growth stocks (and hold several of them), stocks that represent companies that pay a solid, consistent dividend also are an important tool for growing wealth. The best thing about dividend stocks is that they're ideal for all types of investors. If you're just starting out or a few years into building your portfolio, dividends are a great way to turbocharge your savings. In addition to the gains you get when the stock price rises, you can take the quarterly dividend payout and reinvest it, adding to your positions and growing wealth more quickly. If you're in retirement and starting to draw down your investments, dividend stocks are an ideal way to keep the income flowing. Many investors in retirement use dividend payouts to pay for living expenses, which keeps them from drawing down their retirement funds too quickly. There are hundreds of dividend stocks from which to choose, but I prefer ones from established companies that provide consistent payouts. Here are three that are worth considering today. 1. Coca-Cola I like Coca-Cola (NYSE: KO) because it has a dominant position in the beverage industry, holding the No. 1 position in 2024 with a 48% market share, according to Statista. And there's plenty to drink aside from the famous Cola-Cola carbonated beverage. The company also sells bottled water, sports drinks, tea, juices and a line of alcoholic beverages. In all, the company has 30 brands that are each valued at a minimum of $1 billion. Revenue in the first quarter declined 2% to $11.1 billion because of slumping sales in North America. But Coca-Cola was able to mitigate losses by increasing sales in China, India, and Brazil -- and the company's global footprint will continue to be a hedge against weakness in any one geographic area. Net income attributable to shareholders as $3.33 billion and $0.77 per share, up from $3.18 and $0.74 per share in the first quarter of 2024. Coca-Cola also offers a strong dividend yield of 2.9%. 2. American Express Like Coca-Cola, American Express (NYSE: AXP) is a favored dividend stock held by Warren Buffett in Berkshire Hathaway's portfolio. Berkshire currently has a dominant 21.6% stake in American Express, holding 151.6 million shares. American Express stands out from other credit card companies because it caters to a more affluent base, with a stronger emphasis on its gold and platinum cards, as well as corporate accounts. As an American Express customer, I can attest that the travel perks are extremely generous. But American Express also is different in how it makes money. Not only does it issue cards like Visa and Mastercard, but it operates its own payment network that allows it to extend credit and earn income from the interest it charges on loans. Revenue in the first quarter was $2.6 billion and $3.64 per share, up from $2.4 billion and $3.33 billion in the same quarter of 2024. American Express also has a dividend yield of 1%. 3. McDonald's McDonald's (NYSE: MCD) is the dominant fast-food chain in the world, boasting more than 43,000 locations in over 100 countries. From its start as a single restaurant in California, McDonald's revolutionized the industry with its consistent standards and franchise model. After a customer backlash last year over higher prices and inflation, McDonald's has been aggressive in pushing value menus and deals, including the return of its chicken snack wraps this spring. It's also driving traffic through its loyalty program, which includes 175 million customers who are active at least every 90 days within 60 global markets. McDonald's attributes $30 billion in overall sales to its loyalty membership program. Global sales were down 0.1% in 2024, and that trend continued in the first quarter of 2025, as global sales dropped 0.1% from a year ago. In the U.S., sales were down 3.6% from a year ago, and earnings per share of $2.60 was down 2% from a year ago. However, McDonald's still plans to open 2,200 new locations in 2025, which it says will boost its global sales growth by more than 2% this year. With its 2.4% dividend yield, McDonald's is a quality dividend stock for a long-term investor. Should you buy stock in Coca-Cola right now? Before you buy stock in Coca-Cola, consider this: The Motley Fool Stock Advisor analyst team just identified what they believe are the for investors to buy now… and Coca-Cola wasn't one of them.
