SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 18, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Hagens Berman urges Armstrong Flooring, Inc. (NYSE: AFI) investors who have suffered significant losses to submit their losses now to learn if they qualify to recover compensable damages.  A securities fraud class action was recently filed against the company and senior executives and Armstrong Flooring investors may have valuable claims.

Armstrong Flooring (AFI) Securities Class Action:

The complaint alleges that Defendants engaged in fraudulent accounting and misstated its financial results.

According to the complaint, Defendants concealed that the company engaged in channel stuffing to artificially boost sales and falsely certified that its internal controls over inventory levels were effective.

The complaint alleges that investors began to learn the truth a few months after CEO Donald Maier's abrupt May 2, 2019 departure when, on November 5, 2019, Armstrong Flooring stunned analysts with disappointing Q3 2019 financial results and slashed FY 2019 guidance.  Senior management blamed the poor results and projections on volume being below expectations due to further inventory reductions in the distribution channel.

This news sent the price of Armstrong shares plummeting $2.90 lower, or down about 44% that day.
