The complaint, filed September 19, 2019, alleges that in the IPO registration statement and throughout the Class Period, defendants failed to disclose material adverse facts about the company's operations and prospects. Specifically, defendants failed to disclose  that: (1) the company would refuse to reduce merchandise prices to match the rest of the market; (2) this sub-optimal pricing strategy rendered the company's platform highly susceptible to underpricing by competitors, despite what defendants touted as a "superior" platform; and (3) as a result, the company's past and projected growth rates were foreseeably unsustainable. As a result of the foregoing, defendants' statements about the company's business strategy and growth prospects lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.

On or about September 24, 2018, Farfetch held its IPO in which it sold approximately 50 million shares of Class A common stock at a price of $20.00 per share.

On August 8, 2019, Farfetch reported a larger-than-expected loss of $89.6 million for second quarter 2019. The company also announced a $675 million acquisition of New Guards Group and that its Chief Operating Officer had resigned.

On this news, the company's share price fell $8.12, or over 44%, to close at $10.13 per share on August 9, 2019. By the date this complaint was filed, the company's stock was trading as low as $10.20 per share, a nearly 50% decline from the $20 IPO price.
