Gainey McKenna & Egleston Files Class Action Lawsuit Against Fortrea.

The law firm Gainey McKenna & Egleston has filed a securities class action lawsuit on behalf of investors who purchased shares of Fortrea Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: FTRE) between July 3, 2023 and February 28, 2025.

The lawsuit claims Fortrea misled shareholders about its post-spin-off financial health and future earnings.

Filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, the complaint alleges that Fortrea made overly rosy statements about expected revenue and cost savings - projections that later proved unreliable.

What the Lawsuit Says

According to the filing, Fortrea gave investors the impression that its transition after the spin-off was on solid financial footing.

The complaint outlines several key concerns:

  • The company allegedly overestimated how much revenue would come from inherited “Pre-Spin Projects.”

  • Fortrea also downplayed the true costs of exiting its Transition Services Agreements.

  • As a result, the company’s 2025 EBITDA targets were inflated, giving a misleading picture of future performance.

  • These issues, the lawsuit says, made Fortrea’s overall business outlook appear stronger than it really was.

Shareholders who bought Fortrea stock during the Class Period may be eligible to join the case.

Those interested in leading the lawsuit have until August 1, 2025 to file a motion to become lead plaintiff.
