A class action lawsuit has been initiated against F5, Inc. (NASDAQ: FFIV) on behalf of investors who acquired its securities between October 28, 2024 and October 27, 2025. The law firm Robbins LLP is leading the case, which stems from allegations that the company misled shareholders regarding the financial ramifications of a significant security breach.
The complaint asserts that F5, a global leader in multicloud application security and delivery, failed to adequately disclose its vulnerability to data breaches. Specifically, the lawsuit claims that the company was not equipped to protect client data, as it experienced a major security incident affecting its key offerings. On October 15, 2025, F5 announced a “long-term, persistent” breach that compromised the development and engineering platforms of its BIG-IP product line, including access to the source code.
Following this announcement, F5’s stock price plunged from $343.17 per share on October 14 to $295.35 per share by October 16, marking a decline of approximately 13.9% within two days. The fallout continued when, on October 27, 2025, F5 reported its fourth-quarter fiscal results for 2025 and revealed substantial reductions in growth expectations for fiscal 2026. This decline was attributed to the security breach, which led to anticipated decreases in sales and renewals, prolonged sales cycles, and increased expenses from ongoing remediation efforts.
The impact of the breach was amplified by the fact that the BIG-IP product, which was compromised, represents the company’s highest revenue source. As a result, F5’s stock fell further, closing at $290.41 on October 27 and dropping to $258.76 on October 28, a further decline of 10.9% in just two days.
Investors looking to participate in the class action must submit their lead plaintiff applications by February 17, 2026. The lead plaintiff will represent the interests of all shareholders in the case, but participation is not mandatory for recovery. Those who choose to remain uninvolved will still be considered absent class members.
