Organon & Co. Faces Securities Class Action Lawsuit Over Dividend Misrepresentation; Shareholder Deadline Approaches

Organon & Co., a healthcare company based in Jersey City, NJ, is facing a securities class action lawsuit filed on behalf of investors who acquired the company's securities between October 31, 2024, and April 30, 2025. The lawsuit is in response to an unexpected change in the company's dividend payout policy following its acquisition of Dermavant for $1.2 billion. Despite assurances from Organon that the dividend would remain its top capital allocation priority, the company announced a reduction in its dividend from $0.28 to $0.02 per share on May 1, 2025, to focus on reducing debt. This news led to a significant decline in Organon's stock price, dropping approximately 27% to $9.45 per share. Investors who purchased Organon securities during the specified period have until July 22, 2025, to seek appointment as a lead plaintiff representative in the case. The litigation is being handled by Berger Montague PC, a firm known for its expertise in securities class action lawsuits.
