PR Newswire (US) Key Dates and Disclosure Events Shareholders Need to KnowNEW YORK, May 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- SueWallSt encourages investors who suffered losses in Vital Farms, Inc. (NASDAQ: VITL) to contact the firm. WHO IS AFFECTED: Those who purchased VITL securities between May 8, 2025 and February 26, 2026 may be entitled to recover damages. Find out if you are eligible to recover losses or contact Joseph E. Levi, Esq. at jlevi@SueWallSt.com or (888) SueWallSt. Vital Farms missed its own full-year 2025 revenue guidance by more than $15 million, reporting $759.4 million against a target of at least $775 million. Shares fell $2.68, or 10.8%, to close at $22.11 on February 26, 2026. Investors have until May 26, 2026 to seek lead plaintiff status.May 8, 2025: ERP Launch Delayed, Assurances GivenOn the first-quarter 2025 earnings call, the CFO told investors the ERP launch date had been pushed from to early fall 2025 from the original summer target "to ensure flawless switchover." The filing asserts this statement omitted that production slowdowns and shipment delays were a foreseeable consequence of the transition, and that such disruptions could cost the Company critical retail shelf space.August 7, 2025: Guidance Raised to $770 Million as ERP Go-Live ApproachedDuring the second-quarter call, the CFO confirmed the ERP remained "on track" for early fall and raised full-year revenue guidance from $740 million to at least $770 million. The securities action contends that, with the go-live date weeks away, leadership was aware or reckless in not knowing that operational disruptions were likely, yet chose to increase projections rather than prepare shareholders.September 29, 2025: ERP System ActivatedVital Farms switched on its new ERP system at the start of the fourth quarter. As later admitted, production slowed for the first two weeks following go-live, causing shipment delays during the lead-up to the peak holiday selling season.November 4, 2025: Guidance Raised Again to $775 Million Despite Known SlowdownOn the third-quarter call, management acknowledged the two-week production slowdown but characterized it as "always part of our plan" with "no impact on our guidance." Guidance was raised again to at least $775 million. The lawsuit chronicles that this statement was misleading because the Company was already losing retail shelf space it would struggle to recover.February 26, 2026: The Truth SurfacesVital Farms reported full-year 2025 revenue of $759.4 million, missing guidance. EPS came in at $0.35 versus the $0.39 consensus. Management admitted the Company was "still recapturing shelf space" lost during the ERP transition and that "volume growth so far is lagging our initial expectations.""Timely disclosure of material developments is fundamental to fair and efficient markets. The chronology here raises important questions about the gap between what was known internally about ERP disruptions and what shareholders were told at each reporting interval." -- Joseph E.
