Core Viewpoint - CarMax, Inc. is facing a class action lawsuit for securities fraud following a significant drop in stock price attributed to misleading statements regarding demand and financial performance [2][4]. Group 1: Lawsuit Details - A class action lawsuit has been filed against CarMax and its senior executives for securities fraud, with claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 [4]. - Investors have until January 2, 2025, to request to lead the case, which is pending in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland [4]. - The lawsuit alleges that CarMax misled investors about the sustainability of demand for its vehicles, particularly in light of U.S. tariffs on cars [5].
