The complaint asserts securities fraud claims under Sections\n10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 on behalf of investors\nin Rackspace securities.

(“AMD”) to assist in\nbuilding out its AI infrastructure and enhance its AI capabilities. That same\nday, the company reaffirmed its full year revenue guidance.\n\nRackspace told investors that the “AMD piece really fits into how” the\ncompany’s technology stack operates. Rackspace also stated that the AMD\npartnership “give[s] [the Company] confidence in the full year Private Cloud\ngrowth profile.”\n\nAs alleged, in truth, the company’s AI efforts would require Rackspace to\nsignificantly re-prioritize its capacity and pull capacity away from revenue\ngenerating segments.\n\nWhy did Rackspace’s Stock Drop?\n\nOn July 9, 2026, Rackspace revealed that its AI investments would require a\nsignificant re-prioritization of resources and a “transition away” from\ncertain revenue generating segments. As a result, Rackspace revealed it was\ncutting its full year 2026 revenue guidance by $150 million and its full year\nPrivate Cloud revenue outlook by $25 million.\n\nThis news caused the price of Rackspace stock to decline $2.21 per share, or\n33.6%, from a closing price of $6.58 per share on July 8, 2026, to $4.37 per\nshare on July 9, 2026.\n\nClick here for more information:\nhttps://www.bfalaw.com/cases/rackspace-class-action-lawsuit.\n\nWhat Can You Do?\n\nIf you invested in Rackspace, you may have legal options and are encouraged to\nsubmit your information to the firm.\n\nAll representation is on a contingency fee basis; there is no cost to you.\nShareholders are not responsible for any court costs or expenses of\nlitigation.
