MGPI INVESTOR ALERT: Bronstein, Gewirtz & Grossman LLC Announces that MGP Ingredients, Inc. Investors with Substantial Losses Have Opportunity to Lead Class Action Lawsuit

NEW YORK, Dec. 25, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Attorney Advertising -- Bronstein, Gewirtz & Grossman, LLC, a nationally recognized law firm, notifies investors that a class action lawsuit has been filed against MGP Ingredients, Inc. (“MGP Ingredients” or “the Company”) (NASDAQ: MGPI) and certain of its officers.

Class Definition

This lawsuit seeks to recover damages against Defendants for alleged violations of the federal securities laws on behalf of all persons and entities that purchased or otherwise acquired MGP Ingredients securities between May 3, 2023 and October 30, 2024, both dates inclusive (the “Class Period”). Such investors are encouraged to join this case by visiting the firm’s site: bgandg.com/MGPI.

Case Details

The complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, MGP Ingredients made materially false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose a slowdown in consumption and oversupply in their brown goods (i.e., American whiskies and tequila products).

On February 22, 2024, MGP Ingredients provided guidance for fiscal year 2024 with a midpoint that was 4.9% below analyst consensus. During an earnings call that same day, President and Chief Executive Officer David S. Bratcher confirmed industry reports that “inventory destocking at a wholesale level will remain an issue for the branded spirits industry in 2024.” On this news, MGP Ingredients' stock price fell $13.65 per share, or 14.86%, to close at $78.18 per share on February 22, 2024. Then, on October 17, 2024, MGP Ingredients admitted that soft demand and high inventories were undermining sales. The following day, Wells Fargo published a report noting that it was lowering its expectations for MGP Ingredients stock price, stating that the Company had “credibility issues”. Following this announcement and Wells Fargo’s report, the Company’s stock price fell $19.71 per share, or 24.16%, to close at $61.86 per share on October 18, 2024. Finally, on October 31, 2024, MGP Ingredients disclosed that the excess inventories would have an “even greater impact” on sales in 2025 than previously stated, forcing the Company to scale back certain operations to save money. Following this news, MGP Ingredients' stock price fell $8.27 per share, or 14.69%, to close at $48.04 on October 31, 2024.
