The Law Offices of Frank R. Cruz Announces the Filing of a Securities Class Action on Behalf of Genius Brands International, Inc. (GNUS) Investors


LOS ANGELES, Oct. 12, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- The Law Offices of Frank R. Cruz announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed on behalf of persons and entities that purchased or otherwise acquired Genius Brands International, Inc. ("Genius" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: GNUS) securities between March 17, 2020 and July 5, 2020,  inclusive (the "Class Period"). Genius investors have until October 19, 2020 to file a lead plaintiff motion.

If you are a shareholder who suffered a loss, click here to participate.

On June 5, 2020, Hindenburg Research published a report questioning the valuation of the Company and highlighting certain inaccurate statements by Genius. For example, the report stated that Rainbow Rangers, one of the Company's cartoon properties, was actually airing nine times per week, not the 26-airings noted in Genius' press release, and was not airing in favorable time slots.

On this news, the Company's share price fell $0.92, or over 13%, to close at $5.94 on June 5, 2020, thereby damaging investors.

The complaint filed in this class action alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company's business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants failed to disclose to investors: (1) that Nickelodeon's purported broadcast expansion of Genius's Rainbow Rangers cartoon; (2) that subscription fees for the Kartoon Channel!; and (3) the Company's growth potential and overall prospects as a company.
