Bragar Eagel & Squire, P.C. has filed a class action lawsuit against Cogent Communications Holdings, Inc. in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia. The suit is on behalf of investors who purchased or acquired Cogent common stock between February 29, 2024 and May 1, 2026. The complaint alleges that defendants misrepresented demand for optical wavelengths in Cogent's newly acquired wireline business, claiming the order backlog was largely illusory and that most of it never converted to paying customers. On May 4, 2026, Cogent's CEO disclosed that customers were pushing out wavelength acceptances, causing the stock to fall $6.79 per share, or 29%, to close at $16.37. Investors have until September 21, 2026 to seek lead plaintiff appointment.
