Allegations: |
A class action has been commenced in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania on behalf of purchasers of Toll Brothers, Inc. ("Toll Brothers") (NYSE:TOL) common stock during the period between December 9, 2004 and November 8, 2005 (the "Class Period").
The complaint charges Toll Brothers and certain of its officers and directors with violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Toll Brothers is a home builder which specializes in building large, expensive homes.
The complaint alleges that defendants made a series of false and misleading statements indicating that Toll Brothers' business model, which was based on developing expensive homes for a niche market of high-end buyers, was unique and thus immune from the adverse impact of rising interest rates and other negative macro-economic factors that appeared to be negatively impacting the home-building industry during 2004 and 2005. As the truth was revealed to investors, including the deteriorating state of demand for Toll Brothers' homes, its constrained and shrinking number of active selling communities, the insufficient inventory of lots for Toll Brothers to achieve 20% net income growth in 2006 and 2007, and the actual adverse impact of rising interest rates and negative macro-economic trends on traffic to Toll Brothers communities and demand for its homes and thus its future prospects, Toll Brothers stock plummeted, falling from its $58.25 per share Class Period high in July 2005 to as low as $33.72 per share on November 9, 2005, a 42% drop.
If you acquired the securities of the defendants during the Class Period you may, no later than the Lead Plaintiff Deadline shown above, request that the Court appoint you as lead plaintiff through counsel of your choice. You may also choose to remain an absent class member. A lead plaintiff must meet certain requirements.
