The Company further disclosed that it was pausing its planned national rollout of its Black Card price increase to prioritize revitalizing new membership growth.<\/p><p>On this news, Planet Fitness\u2019s stock price fell $19.95, or 31.2%, to close at $44.01 per share on May 7, 2026, thereby injuring investors.<\/p><p><b>What Is The Lawsuit About?<\/b><\/p><p>The complaint filed in this class action alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and\/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company\u2019s business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants failed to disclose to investors that: (1) Planet Fitness could not continue to grow its membership rate at the level necessary without a significant overhaul to its marketing message or the introduction of new marketing campaigns, nor could it proceed with the planned rollout of the Black Card price increase that such guidance was significantly reliant upon; and (2) as a result, Defendants\u2019 positive statements about the Company\u2019s business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and\/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.<\/p><p><b>Contact Us To Participate or Learn More:<\/b><\/p><p>If you purchased Planet Fitness common stock, have information or would like to learn more about these claims, or have any questions concerning this announcement or your rights or interests with respect to these matters, please contact us:<br\/>Law Offices of Howard G.
