Frank R. Cruz seeks lead plaintiffs in Photronics securities case
The Law Offices of Frank R. Cruz says investors with losses in Photronics, Inc. may seek to lead a securities fraud class action before a Sept. 4, 2026 deadline.
A Los Angeles law firm said Tuesday it is seeking lead plaintiffs for a securities fraud class action against Photronics, Inc. (PLAB), which makes photomasks used in chip manufacturing.
The release sets a Sept. 4, 2026, deadline for investors who say they lost money in Photronics shares to ask the court to serve as lead plaintiff. It says investors may also take no action and remain absent class members.
According to the PR Newswire release from the Law Offices of Frank R. Cruz, the proposed case covers statements made between Dec. 10, 2025, and May 27, 2026. The firm says the complaint alleges defendants made materially false or misleading statements and failed to disclose adverse facts about the company’s business, operations and prospects.
The release says the alleged undisclosed issues include bottlenecks in Photronics’ high-end chip design release pipeline. It says those bottlenecks were tied to elevated foundry utilization rates and equipment cost pressures.
The notice also says the company’s positive statements about its business, operations and prospects were allegedly misleading or lacked a reasonable basis. The allegations are contained in the law firm’s promotional release and have not been independently adjudicated in the brief provided.
The release was issued in Los Angeles on Aug. 26, 2026. It gives investors a way to contact the firm by phone, email, website and social media, and says the notice may be considered attorney advertising in some jurisdictions.
In securities class actions, the lead plaintiff is usually the investor the court thinks can best represent other shareholders in the case. The release says investors can choose counsel or do nothing and remain in the class.
No court ruling or company response was included in the research brief.
