The DRVN class period is May 3, 2023 through February 24, 2026, inclusive. Investors who purchased Driven Brands Holdings (DRVN) shares on the open market during this window and suffered losses when the corrective disclosure emerged on February 25, 2026 may be eligible to participate in the securities class action.

On February 25, 2026, Driven Brands disclosed material accounting errors across 7 categories spanning multiple years, including issues related to revenue recognition, expense classification, cost capitalization, lease accounting, asset valuations, segment reporting, and tax provisions. The multi-year scope indicates these were not isolated mistakes but systematic misreporting that investors relied upon throughout the class period. These errors require a comprehensive restatement of previously filed financial statements.

The lead plaintiff deadline was May 8, 2026 and has now passed. Under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act (PSLRA), investors had 60 days from when the class action was first publicly noticed to move for lead plaintiff appointment.

To document your DRVN losses, gather brokerage account statements showing: (1) the date(s) you purchased DRVN shares, (2) the number of shares, (3) the price per share paid, and (4) the price at which you sold — or current market value if you still hold. Most brokerages let you download trade confirmations as PDFs. You can upload these directly through our secure form above. An attorney will review your documents and calculate your estimated recoverable loss at no charge.
