Graphic Packaging Holding Company (NYSE: GPK)

This lawsuit is for anyone who acquired securities in Graphic Packaging Holding Company (NYSE: GPK) from February 4, 2025 through February 2, 2026.

The lawsuit alleges that the Company and certain of its executives violated federal law. Specifically, the lawsuit alleges that, throughout the time period mentioned above, the Company misled investors regarding its financial condition. More specifically, the lawsuit alleges that the Company misled investors by failing to timely disclose to investors that the Company was experiencing significant inventory management issues as well as significantly reduced demand and increased costs.

On May 1, 2025, Graphic Packaging released its first quarter 2025 financial results, reporting non-GAAP EPS of $0.51, missing consensus estimates by $0.07, and revenue of $2.12 billion, representing a 6.2% year-over-year decline, and missing consensus estimates by $10 million. Further, the Company significantly lowered its previously issued 2025 guidance due to “an expectation of a 2% volume decline and $80 million of input cost inflation at the midpoint”, as well as “higher macroeconomic and consumer spending uncertainty.” On this news, the price of the Company’s stock dropped precipitously on unusually heavy trading volume. Then, on December 8, 2025, Graphic Packaging disclosed that it planned to “accelerate certain inventory reduction plans into the fourth quarter that were originally planned for 2026”, and that “[p]roduction curtailment is expected to impact fourth quarter operating results by $15 million.” The Company also further lowered its 2025 guidance. The same day, the Company also announced that its President and CEO had “mutually agreed with [its] Board of Directors to step down from his role.” On this news, the price of the Company’s stock again dropped precipitously on unusually heavy trading volume. Finally, on February 3, 2026, Graphic Packaging released its fourth quarter and full year 2025 financial results, missing consensus estimates due to lower volumes, increased costs, and inventory reduction. On this news, the price of the Company’s stock again dropped precipitously on unusually heavy trading volume.
