NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

The law firm of Kirby McInerney LLP announced today that a class action lawsuit has been filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, against QuinStreet, Inc. (“QuinStreet” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: QNST) on behalf of investors that acquired QuinStreet securities during the period from February 10, 2016 through April 10, 2018 (the “Class Period”), seeking recovery of damages for alleged violations of the federal securities laws. Pursuant to applicable law, investors have until June 26, 2018 to apply to the Court to be appointed as lead plaintiff in the lawsuit.

On this news, shares of QuinStreet fell from $12.32 to close at $10.14 per share on April 11, 2018 (a decline of $2.18).
