Lead Plaintiff motion deadline
  • $MGPI investors filed a lawsuit against MGP Ingredients for misleading them about inventory levels and demand for their spirits, particularly whiskey.
  • On October 17, 2024, MGP revealed weaker-than-expected sales, admitting that elevated inventory levels and soft demand were impacting performance. Causing $MGPI to drop by nearly 50% over two weeks.
  • $MGPI investors can join this case to be notified about potential recovery.

Case Details:


Between May 4, 2023, and October 30, 2024, MGP Ingredients assured investors that demand for its premium whiskey and spirits ("brown goods") was strong and that inventory levels were under control. The company claimed it had already addressed inventory issues affecting the broader spirits industry.

On February 22, 2024, MGP downplayed concerns, stating its inventory was well managed and industry-wide destocking would not be a major problem, despite lower-than-expected revenue guidance.

However, on October 17, 2024, MGP admitted that elevated inventory levels and weak demand, especially from smaller craft customers, were hurting whiskey sales.

On October 31, 2024, MGP further revealed that these problems would impact sales into 2025 and announced cost-cutting measures, including reduced whiskey production.

Following this news, $MGPI plunged nearly 50%.

Based on these events, $MGPI investors filed a lawsuit against MGP Ingredients, claiming the company:
  • It misled investors about demand for its spirits products and the state of its inventory levels.
  • It downplayed the risks of industry-wide oversupply and its impact on sales.
Investors believe MGP Ingredients failed to disclose the true extent of inventory issues and weakening demand.
