The Allegations: Robbins LLP is Investigating the Allegations that Compass Minerals International, Inc. (CMP) Overstated its Business Prospects

The complaint alleges that Compass Minerals began a series of equity investments in Fortress North America, LLC, which it has described as “a next-generation fire retardant business dedicated to developing and producing a portfolio of magnesium chloride-based fire retardant products to help combat wildfires.” On May 5, 2023, Compass Minerals fully took over Fortress. In 2023, Fortress only sold its fire retardant products to the United States Forest Service.

According to the complaint, during the class period, defendants failed to disclose that (1) Compass Minerals overstated the likelihood that it would be awarded a renewed U.S. Forest Service contract for the use of its proprietary magnesium chloride-based aerial fire retardants for the 2024 fire season due to safety issues presented by its fire retardant, and (2) Compass Minerals materially overstated the extent to which testing had confirmed that its fire retardants were safe.

Plaintiff alleges that on March 25, 2024, the Company issued a press release announcing that the U.S. Forest Service would not be entering into a contract for the use of magnesium chloride-based aerial fire retardants for the 2024 fire season. On this news, the price of Compass Minerals stock fell $3.00 per share, or 17.09%, to close at $14.55 on March 25, 2024. The next day, Compass Minerals stock fell a further $0.86 per share, or 5.91%, to close at $13.69.
