Bronstein, Gewirtz & Grossman, LLC has filed a class action lawsuit against Cogent Communications Holdings, Inc. and certain officers, alleging violations of federal securities laws. The suit covers investors who purchased or acquired Cogent securities between February 29, 2024 and May 1, 2026. The complaint claims defendants made false and misleading statements and failed to disclose that the vast majority of orders in Cogent's optical wavelength backlog were unlikely to become paid orders, that many customers were unable or unwilling to accept delivery, and that the reported backlog overstated customer demand. It further alleges that Cogent was not on track to meet its revenue growth and margin targets, lacked the financial capacity to sustain its dividend policy, and that extensive stock pledging by Defendant Schaeffer created an undisclosed risk of forced share sales. Investors have until September 21, 2026 to seek lead plaintiff appointment.
