Nutanix, Inc. Loss Form

The complaint concerns whether the Company and its executives violated federal securities laws by making false and/or misleading statements about its investments in growth and its maintenance of high profit margins.

On February 28, 2019, Nutanix announced its second quarter fiscal 2019 results and reported third quarter guidance that was below analysts’ expectations. Management acknowledged that “inadequate marketing spend for pipeline generation and slower than expected sales hiring” were the reasons for the weak guidance. On this news, Nutanix’s share price fell from $50.09 per share on February 28, 2019 to a closing price of $33.70 on March 1, 2019.
