The firm has recovered hundreds of\nmillions of dollars for investors since its founding in 1995. See\nwww.faruqilaw.com.\n\nAs detailed below, the complaint alleges that the Company and its executives\nviolated federal securities laws by making false and/or misleading statements\nand/or failing to disclose the true state of Coty's slowing growth in the\nbeauty market, notably, the Consumer Beauty market was underperforming,\nmargins were compressed by increased marketing investments and there was\nslowing growth in its Prestige fragrance segment.

The Company also noted the recent transition of its Chief\nExecutive Officer in conjunction with the below-expectation results. Coty\nfurther withdrew its fiscal year 2026 guidance for EBITDA and revised the\nCompany's near-term outlook downward. Coty attributed its results and lowered\nguidance to a combination of macroeconomic factors including rising costs and\nuncertain consumer demand and lack of \"operational discipline\" in both\nPrestige and Consumer Beauty segments.\n\nInvestors and analysts reacted immediately to Coty's revelation.
