BENSALEM, Pa. -- 

Law Offices of Howard G. Smith announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed on behalf of investors who purchased Stamps.com, Inc. (“Stamps.com” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: STMP) securities between May 3, 2017 and February 21, 2019, inclusive (the “Class Period”). Stamps.com investors have until April 29, 2019 to file a lead plaintiff motion.

Investors that suffered losses on their Stamps.com investments are encouraged to contact the Law Offices of Howard G. Smith to discuss their legal rights in this class action at 888-638-4847 or by email to [email protected].

On February 21, 2019, Stamps.com announced that its key partnership with the U.S. Postal Service ended. On an earnings call, Stamps.com’s chairman and Chief Executive Officer Kenneth Thomas McBride stated that, “We will no longer be exclusive to the USPS and that’s non-negotiable.” USPS-related business accounts for 87 percent of the Company’s revenue. The Company further announced that 2019 revenue was expected to decline 5.4%. On this news, the Company’s stock price fell $114.43, or nearly 58%, to close at $83.65 on February 22, 2019, thereby injuring investors.

The Complaint filed in this class action alleges that Defendants made materially false and misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) the Company's financial results depended on the manipulation of a USPS program that cost USPS an estimated $235 million per year; and (2) as a result, the Company's business was unsustainable and its financial results were highly misleading.
