According to the complaint the plaintiff alleges on behalf of purchasers of Gigamon Inc (NYSE: GIMO) common shares between October 27, 2016 and January 17, 2017, that the defendants violated Federal Securities Laws. More specifically, the plaintiff claims that between October 27, 2016 and January 17, 2017, the defendants failed to disclose that Gigamon Inc was experiencing reduced product bookings in its North America West region, that several of the Company’s significant customers were deferring purchasing decisions into 2017, that the Company failed to properly include these trends in its financial guidance, and that, as a result of the foregoing, Defendants’ statements about Gigamon Inc’s business, operations, and prospects, including statements about its revenue guidance, were false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.
Gigamon Inc reported that its annual Total Revenue rose from $157.13 million in 2014 to $221.97 million in 2015 and that its Net Loss of $40.79 million in 2014 turned into a Net Income of $6.19 million in 2015.

Shares of Gigamon Inc (NYSE: GIMO) declined to as low as $30.50 per share on January 18, 2017.
