The Allegations: Robbins LLP is Investigating Allegations that GitLab Inc. (GTLB) Misled Investors Regarding Demand for its Product

According to the complaint, during the class period, defendants created the false impression that they possessed reliable information pertaining to the Company’s ability to develop and incorporate AI throughout the software development cycle to optimize code generation thereby increasing market demand and making all levels of software development more affordable and properly monetizing its AI features. In truth, there was weak market demand for Gitlab’s touted AI features and the Company was incurring an increasing amount of expenses involving JiHu, its joint venture in China, as well as the annual company-wide summit. Defendants misled investors by continually highlighting its AI-driven innovations to develop software more efficiently and drive market share demands.

Plaintiff alleges that on March 4, 2024, GitLab issued a press release reporting strong Q1 2024 results and then immediately followed this with a disclosure announcing lower than expected full-year guidance for 2025. GitLab attributed it to time needed to “build pipeline and close deals on new products.” On this news, the price of GitLab’s common stock declined from $74.47 per share on March 4, 2024, to $58.84 per share on March 5, 2024, a decline of about 21%.
