According to the complaint the plaintiff alleges on behalf of all persons or entities who purchased or otherwise acquired securities of ADT Corp (NYSE:ADT) between November 27, 2012 and January 29, 2014 that ADT Corp and certain of its officers and directors violated Federal Securities Laws pursuant to Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder.

The plaintiff says that ADT Corp was experiencing reduced non-Pulse demand, accelerating churn rate and attrition, and increased advertising and service costs, all of which were negatively impacting ADT Corp’s recurring revenue, margins and earnings, such that the Company did not have a reasonable basis for its 2013 and 2014 quarterly and full-year financial forecasts and that as a result of defendants’ statements, ADT Corp‘s stock traded at allegedly artificially inflated prices between November 27, 2012 and January 29, 2014, trading as high as $49.73 per share on March 13, 2013
