\n Promise vs. Reality: The Vital Farms Performance Gap<\/i>\n <\/p>\n

\n NEW YORK<\/span>, May 13, 2026<\/span> \/PRNewswire\/ — “At least $775 million.” That was Vital Farms’ final revenue promise to shareholders for fiscal year 2025. The actual result: $759.4 million, a shortfall of more than $15.5 million. Levi & Korsinsky, LLP notifies investors in Vital Farms, Inc. (NASDAQ: VITL) that a securities class action has been filed on behalf of purchasers who acquired shares between May 8, 2025 and February 26, 2026. Find out if you can recover your investment losses<\/a><\/u>\u00a0or contact Joseph E. Levi, Esq. at jlevi@levikorsinsky.com<\/a><\/u>\u00a0or (212) 363-7500.<\/p>\n

Following the corrective disclosure on February 26, 2026, VITL shares fell $2.68 per share, a decline of 10.8%, closing at $22.11. The Company also reported earnings per share of $0.35 versus a consensus expectation of $0.39.<\/p>\n

\n The Promise<\/b>\n <\/p>\n

Throughout the Class Period, the Company’s guidance moved in only one direction: upward. On February 27, 2025, management set initial fiscal year 2025 revenue guidance at $740 million. By the second quarter earnings call on August 7, 2025, the lawsuit contends that guidance was raised to $770 million, citing “strong performance” and a “successful implementation of our price increase.” On November 4, 2025, guidance was raised again to $775 million, representing projected growth of at least 28% over 2024. At each step, as alleged<\/span> in the complaint, investors were told the ERP system transition was proceeding smoothly and would have “no impact on our guidance for the full year.”<\/p>\n

\n The Reality<\/b>\n <\/p>\n

Fiscal year 2025 revenue came in at $759.4 million, missing the Company’s own final guidance by over $15.5 million. The action claims the Company admitted that “several weeks of slow shipments following our ERP implementation” during the critical holiday selling period caused a loss of retail shelf space that management was “still recapturing” months later. Volume growth was “lagging initial expectations,” as set forth in the complaint.<\/p>\n
