Hagens Berman Reminds Investors in Skechers USA, Inc. (NYSE: SKX) of the Firm’s Ongoing Investigation into Possible Disclosure Violations and the November 5, 2018 Securities Class Action Lead Plaintiff Deadline

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 25, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro LLP reminds investors in Skechers USA, Inc. (NYSE: SKX) of the November 5, 2018 Lead Plaintiff deadline in the pending securities class action.  If you purchased or otherwise acquired Skechers USA securities between October 20, 2017 and July 19, 2018 and suffered losses contact Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro LLP.  For more information visit:

or contact Reed Kathrein, who is leading the firm’s investigation, by calling 510-725-3000 or emailing

SKX@hbsslaw.com.

The complaint accuses Defendants of having falsely assured investors that they were focused on bringing expenses in line with expected sales and the Company’s disproportionate Selling, General and Administrative (“SG&A”) expense growth was slowing down.

When, on April 18, 2018, Defendants reported the Company’s SG&A expense growth drastically outpaced sales growth, the price of Skechers USA shares fell $11.38 (or, about 27%) to close at $30.70 on April 20, 2018.

Then, on July 19, 2018, Defendants again reported the Company’s SG&A expense growth drastically outpaced sales growth.  This news drove the price of Skechers USA shares down $6.98, or over 20%, to close at $26.27 the next day.

“We’re focused on investors’ losses, the extent to which Defendants’ class period statements artificially inflated the price of Skechers shares, and possibly suspicious insider sales,” said Hagens Berman partner Reed Kathrein.
