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
