How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

  • holding that plaintiffs had failed to plead sufficient facts to support an inference that the defendants exercised control over a security analyst's report
  • holding that “General Physics’ accurate reporting of its past results did not ... require the company to speculate on the effect that a contract slowdown at the [Department of Education] in 1992 would have on its future earnings.”
  • holding similar statement predicting future growth not material because \the market price of a share is not inflated by vague statements predicting growth\
  • explaining that the defendant “had no duty to advise investors of what was already commonly known”
  • finding that the defendant’s statement that it was “poised to carry the growth and success of the prior year well into the future” constituted puffery
  • finding that the defendants did not have a duty to disclose a slump in contracting and its potential effects on the validity of the company’s projected growth statements
