The plaintiff claims that between November 14, 2016 and August 15, 2017, the defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that integration issues surrounding Advance Auto's Carquest acquisition resulted in systemic inefficiencies and cannibalization of sales, that increased competition was negatively impacting sales, and that as a result, defendants' statements about Advance Auto's business, operations and prospects were materially false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.
