ETSY SHAREHOLDER ALERT: Shareholder Rights Law Firm Johnson & Weaver, LLP Encourages Investors to Contact the Firm Regarding Alleged Violations of the Federal Securities Laws by Etsy, Inc.

Shareholder Rights Law Firm Johnson & Weaver, LLP is investigating whether certain officers and directors of Etsy, Inc. (NASDAQ: ETSY) violated the federal securities laws. Recently, on May 13, 2015, a class action lawsuit alleging violations of the federal securities laws was announced and has been filed against Etsy as a result of making potentially false and misleading statements.

The Complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, defendants made materially false and misleading statements regarding the Company’s business, operational and compliance policies. Specifically, defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) more than 5% of all merchandise for sale on Etsy’s website were either counterfeit or constituted trademark or copyright infringement; (2) Brands are increasingly pursuing sellers on Etsy’s platform for trademark or copyright infringement, jeopardizing the Company’s listing fees and commissions; and (3) as a result of the foregoing, Etsy’s public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.

Then, on May 19, 2015, Etsy fell 15% in after-hours trading after Etsy’s reported an unexpected loss in its first earnings report as a public company. Etsy reported a net loss of $36.6 million, or $.84 cents a share, compared with a year-earlier loss of $500,000, or $.01 a share. Analysts had been expecting breakeven earnings.

If you are a shareholder that lost a significant amount of money on your investment in Etsy, you may have options available to you.
