The complaint filed in this class action alleges that, throughout the Class Period, Defendants issued materially false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) integration issues surrounding the Company's Carquest acquisition resulted in systemic inefficiencies and cannibalization of sales; (ii) increased competition was negatively impacting sales; and (iii) as a result, Defendants' statements about Advanced Auto Parts’ business, operations, and prospects were materially false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.

On May 24, 2017, Advance Auto Parts reported financial and operating results for the first fiscal quarter of 2017, including a quarterly sales decline of 3.0%. Advance Auto also reported a quarterly decline in gross profit, “primarily driven by investments in the customer, inventory optimization efforts and supply chain expense deleverage due to the comparable store sales decline.” On this news, the Company’s share price fell $7.64, or approximately 5.4%, to close at $133.02 on May 24, 2017.

Then, on August 15, 2017, Advance Auto Parts reported its financial and operational results for the second quarter of 2017, disclosing to investors that “[c]omparable store sales for the quarter were flat.” On this news, the Company’s share price fell an additional $22.24, or more than 20.3%, to close at $87.08 on August 15, 2017, thereby injuring investors.
