e.l.f. Beauty, Inc. (NYSE: ELF) Securities Fraud Class Action

Case Background:
This is a federal securities fraud class action lawsuit on behalf of those who purchased or otherwise acquired e.l.f. Beauty, Inc. (“Elf”) (NYSE: ELF) securities between May 25, 2023 and February 6, 2025, inclusive (the “Class Period”).

The complaint alleges that, throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material facts about the company’s business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants misrepresented and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Elf was experiencing rising inventory levels as a consequence of flagging sales; (2) Elf falsely attributed the rising inventory levels to, among other things, changes in its sourcing practices; (3) to maintain investor confidence, Elf reported inflated revenue, profits, and inventory over several quarters; (4) accordingly, Elf’s business and/or financial prospects were overstated; (5) all of the foregoing, once revealed, would likely have a material negative impact on Elf; and (6) as a result of the foregoing, Defendants’ statements about the company’s business, operations, and prospects were materially false and/or misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.

Current Status of Case:
On February 4, 2026, the Court granted in part and denied in part Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss, and on April 3, 2026, Defendants filed an Answer to the Amended Complaint. This action is in the discovery phase and is ongoing.
