United Natural Foods, Inc. (UNFI) Shareholder Investigation

Shamis & Gentile, P.A. is investigating potential shareholder action claims on behalf of shareholders of United Natural Foods, Inc. ("United Natural Foods" or the "Company") (UNFI) against certain of its directors and officers for alleged breaches of fiduciary duties and other violations of law. Concerned shareholders are advised to contact the firm now.

In March 2023, United Natural Foods disclosed a year-over-year decline of $6 million in gross profit and a drop of more than 71% in net income and earnings per diluted share for its fiscal 2023 second quarter, despite a 5.4% increase in net sales. The Company also lowered its adjusted EBITDA guidance, citing reduced procurement and inventory gains from supply-chain volatility and easing inflation.

On this news, United Natural Foods' stock price fell by 28%, closing at $29.47 on Mar 8, 2023, causing investors harm.

A securities class action lawsuit filed after these events alleges that United Natural Foods and certain of its executives failed to disclose material information during the relevant period, in violation of federal securities laws. The court presiding over that matter recently denied the Company’s motion for judgment on the pleadings, allowing the litigation to proceed. The investigation focuses on whether United Natural Foods’s directors and officers may have failed to implement or oversee reasonable reporting and monitoring systems regarding financial forecasting, inventory management, and risk controls, thereby exposing the Company to significant financial and reputational harm.

A shareholder action over these events would seek to recover damages on behalf of the Company and may result in corporate governance reforms designed to prevent similar misconduct in the future.

If you have held United Natural Foods. (NYSE: UNFI) stock since at least March 7, 2023 you can seek corporate reforms, the return of funds back to the Company, and a court approved incentive award for you, all at absolutely no cost to you.
