It has been alleged that during the Class Period, Juniper Networks and certain of its officers and directors made materially false and misleading statements or failed to disclose material information related to the companya™s business and operations in violation of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Specifically, it is claimed that Juniper Networks and the other defendants misrepresented and/or failed to disclose the following adverse facts: (a) due to technical issues with certain of its products and turnover in its sales force, Juniper Networks was losing market share in its security business to its competitors; (b) in order to maintain market share and meet its previously announced growth rate targets in the face of the intense pricing pressure being exerted by the companya™s competitors in both the switching and routing markets, Juniper Networks was forced to dramatically lower prices, which was having a material adverse effect on the companya™s margins; (c) Juniper Networka™s new product launches would not meaningfully contribute to the companya™s operations until 2012; and (d) based on the foregoing, defendants lacked a reasonable basis for their positive statements about Juniper Networka™s growth rates, market share, orders, new product introductions, gross and operating margins, and the companya™s ability to deliver upon its long-term growth model. As a result of these alleged false and misleading statements, Juniper's stock traded at artificially inflated prices during the class period.
