On this news, MGP's stock price fell $14.60 per share, or over 27%, to close at $38.18 per share on January 17, 2020, thereby injuring investors.

Then, on February 26, 2020, MGP announced its finalized financial results for fiscal year 2019, confirming its earlier pre-announcement that the Company had fallen "significantly short of . . . guidance." According to MGP’s Chief Executive Officer, MGP had been “unsuccessful in transacting a large portion of the aged whiskey sales . . . forecast for the fourth quarter.”

On this news, MGP's stock price fell $3.38 per share, or over 10%, to close at $28.42 per share on February 26, 2020, thereby injuring investors further.
