LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Goldberg Law PC (the “Firm”) announces a class action lawsuit has been filed against Tyson Foods, Inc. (“Tyson Foods” or the “Company”) (NYSE: TSN).

The complaint alleges that during the Class Period, Tyson Foods made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose material information. On September 2, 2016, some media outlets reported the filing of an antitrust class action lawsuit against Tyson Foods and some of its peers for conspiring to manipulate the price of broiler-chickens. Allegedly, in 2008, Tyson Foods and several other companies conspired by sharing proprietary data and reducing production to support prices. On October 7, 2016, Pivotal Research downgraded Tyson Foods from “buy” to “sell,” due to fears over the class action against the Company, which it called “powerfully convincing.” When this news was announced, shares of Tyson Foods fell in value.

Goldberg Law PC represents shareholders around the world and specializes in securities class actions and shareholder rights litigation.
