Varonis Systems News Summary

Here are the key news stories impacting Varonis Systems this week:

• Neutral Sentiment: Lead-plaintiff deadlines and case window: Several firms note investors who bought VRNS between Feb. 4, 2025 and Oct. 28, 2025 may seek lead-plaintiff status; many deadlines (most commonly March 9, 2026) are being advertised. This is procedural but important for case consolidation and potential settlement timelines. March 9, 2026 Deadline: Contact Levi & Korsinsky
• Negative Sentiment: Hagens Berman filed a securities class action alleging Varonis and certain executives misled investors about renewals/conversions and ARR; the firm highlights the Oct. 28 disclosure that precipitated a >48% one-day share drop. This increases legal risk and could lead to significant defense costs or settlement exposure. Hagens Berman Filing
• Negative Sentiment: Multiple plaintiff firms (Gross Law Firm, Kessler Topaz, Schall, Berger Montague, Robbins Geller, Levi & Korsinsky, Robbins LLP, others) have issued investor notices seeking clients and lead-plaintiff roles; widespread solicitations increase probability of consolidated litigation and amplify headline risk. Gross Law Firm Notice
• Negative Sentiment: Several firm notices reiterate the alleged basis for claims: material misstatements/omissions around on‑prem-to‑SaaS conversions, weaker renewals, and ARR revisions. If plaintiffs prevail or settle, Varonis may face financial and reputational costs that could pressure the stock. Kessler Topaz Reminder
