NEW YORK, Oct. 31, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Scott+Scott Attorneys at Law LLP ("Scott+Scott"), a national shareholder and consumer rights litigation firm, reminds investors that a class action lawsuit has been filed against Adient plc.

The lead plaintiff deadline is December 3, 2018.
Adient is an Irish corporation headquartered in Dublin. Adient formed when Johnson Controls International plc completed a spinoff of its automotive seating and interiors business.
According to the lawsuit, Adient misled investors regarding the results of its seat structures and mechanisms group ("SS&M"). On January 17, 2018, defendants revealed that its "near-term results [were] being significantly impacted by SS&M." Following this news, Adient stock dropped almost 10%.
On January 29, 2018, Adient announced disappointing financial results for the first quarter of 2018, attributing the poor results to problems in SS&M. Following this news, Adient stock dropped $5.53, about 7.6%, to close at $66.77 per share.
Then, on May 3, 2018, Adient revealed a $279 million net impairment charge related to the SS&M business and confessed that "the 200 basis points of margin expansion . . . is no longer going to be achievable." Following this news, Adient stock dropped 9.9%, to close at $55.84.
Finally, on June 11, 2018, Adient publicized the sudden and immediate resignation of its CEO and reduced its earnings guidance. Following this news, Adient stock dropped $8.88 per share, or 15.6%, to close at $48.10.
