SAN DIEGO, Sept. 14, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd LLP has announced that investors who purchased or acquired AEVEX Corp. (NYSE: AVEX) Class A common stock during a specific period have until October 20, 2026, to seek appointment as lead plaintiff in a securities class action lawsuit. The lawsuit, captioned Rosenberg v. AEVEX Corp., No. 26-cv-04779 (S.D. Cal.), alleges that AEVEX, along with its controlling private equity owner Madison Dearborn Partners, LLC, and certain executives and underwriters, engaged in misleading practices related to an initial public offering (IPO) of the company's shares.
According to the complaint, AEVEX sold 18.4 million shares of common stock in its April 2026 IPO. The lawsuit claims that the company and its partners made false and misleading statements in the offering documents and throughout a specified period, from April 17, 2026, to June 4, 2026, inclusive. Specifically, the complaint alleges that despite a commitment to a 180-day "lock-up" period to prevent Madison Dearborn Partners, LLC from selling its Class A common stock or converting its Class B or LLC Units into Class A common stock for public sale until October 13, 2026, a pre-arranged plan was concealed. This plan allowed for a secondary public offering (SPO) shortly after the IPO, which was announced on June 1, 2026, after the market closed. The announcement led to a significant drop in the stock price, with the price of AEVEX Class A common stock falling approximately 16%.
On June 5, 2026, AEVEX filed a final prospectus, which disclosed the existence of the pre-arranged plan. This news caused the stock price to fall an additional 7%. The lawsuit alleges that these actions violated the Securities Act of 1933 and/or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
