The Law Offices of Frank R. Cruz announces that a class action
lawsuit has been filed on behalf of investors that acquired Grubhub
Inc. (“Grubhub” or the “Company”) (NYSE: GRUB) common stock between
July 30, 2019 and October 28, 2019, inclusive (the “Class

file a lead plaintiff motion.

On October 28, 2019, Grubhub announced disappointing financial
results for its third fiscal quarter of 2019, revealing that an
important demand metric, daily average grubs, had actually fallen
6% sequentially despite an increase in active diners. The Company
slashed 2019 earnings and revenue projections, and expected only
$100 million in EBITDA for 2020, more than 70% below market
expectations.
On this news, Grubhub share price fell $25.28, or over 43%, to
close at $33.11 per share on October 29, 2019, thereby injuring
investors.
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’s business, operations, and
prospects. Specifically, Defendants failed to disclose to
investors: (1) that customer orders were actually declining,
despite the massive investments the Company had made to spur demand
for and use of its platform; (2) that Grubhub’s new customer
additions were generating significantly lower revenues as compared
to historic cohorts because these customers were more prone to
using competitor platforms; (3) that Grubhub’s vaunted business
model under which it secured exclusive restaurant partnerships had
failed, and Grubhub needed to engage in the same aggressive
non-partnered sales tactics embraced by its competitors to generate
significant revenue growth; (4) that Grubhub was required to spend
substantial additional capital in order to grow revenues and retain
market share in the face of heightened competitive dynamics and
market saturation, eviscerating the Company’s profitability; and
(5) that as a result, Grubhub’s public statements were materially
false and misleading at all relevant times.
