Robbins LLP informs stockholders that a class action was filed on behalf of all investors who purchased or otherwise acquired Calix, Inc. (NYSE: CALX) securities between January 28, 2026 and April 21, 2026. Calix engages in the provision of cloud and software platforms, and systems and services.
The Allegations
According to the complaint, on April 21, 2026, after the market closed, Calix reported results for the first quarter of 2026 earnings, including that โ[n]on-GAAP gross margin was 57.2%, a decrease of 80 basis points sequentially.โ Further, the Company reported gross margin guidance for the second quarter of 2026 is โ55.8% (at the midpoint) is down 140 basis points from the previous quarter. This decline is primarily due the increase in memory component costs.โ In the accompanying earnings call held on the same date, the Companyโs CFO Cory Sindelar stated โadvanced purchasing had allowed us to avoid higher memory component costs during the first quarter. However, that advanced supply has run its course, and we now face market prices.โ Sindelar further revealed โreflecting the effects of higher memory component costs,โ โ[f]or the year, we expect our non-GAAP gross margin to decline between 50 and 150 basis points.โ On this news, Calixโs stock price fell $6.93, or 13.98% to close at $42.65 per share on April 22, 2026, on unusually heavy trading volume.
Plaintiff alleges that during the class period defendants failed to disclose to investors: (1) the Companyโs first quarter margins had significantly benefited from advanced purchasing of memory components; (2) that the Companyโs advanced supply of memory components was dwindling; (3) that, as a result, the Company was experiencing negative margin pressure as it was forced to purchase memory components at rising market prices; and (4) that, as a result of the foregoing, defendantsโ positive statements about the Companyโs margins, business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.
