Bernstein Liebhard LLP announces that a securities class action lawsuit has been filed on behalf of investors who purchased or acquired the securities of DigitalOcean Holdings, Inc. (“DigitalOcean” or the “Company”) (NYSE: DOCN) between February 16, 2023 and August 25, 2023, inclusive (the “Class Period”).

According to the Complaint, DigitalOcean is an emerging growth company which purports to offer a cloud computing platform, primarily for small to medium-sized businesses who lack adequate resources to support on-premise software development environments. DigitalOcean’s customers use its platform for building web and mobile applications, website hosting, and e-commerce, among other uses.

On August 3, 2023, DigitalOcean announced that it had “identified certain errors within the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 as included in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2023 filed on May 9, 2023” related to the Company’s accounting for income tax expense, resulting in an overstatement of income tax expense in the quarter of approximately $18 million. The Company announced that it would be restating its first quarter 2023 financials and that this restatement would “also include disclosure of an identified material weakness and that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2023.”

On August 24, 2023, DigitalOcean issued a press release announcing that the Company’s Board of Directors had begun a search for a new CEO to replace Defendant Yancy Spruill, who would step down as CEO and board member as soon as his successor was appointed.

On this news, DigitalOcean’s stock price declined $2.65 per share, or approximately 8.4%, to close at $28.86 per share on August 25, 2023.
