LKQ Corporation (LKQ) Faces Investor Scrutiny Amid Enterprise Resource Planning System Surprises, CEO Departure; Shares Trade Sharply Lower Again – HBSS

$LKQPress releaseOct 26, 2026, 6:31 PM ETRead the release

Hagens Berman opened an investigation into whether LKQ was sufficiently transparent about its European ERP implementation; the release is a plaintiff-firm solicitation seeking investors with losses, not an issuer disclosure or filed lawsuit. It recaps previously reported events: an October 23 Q3 2026 report showing a $16 million net loss (vs. $79 million in Q2 and $178 million a year earlier), the immediate departure of CEO Justin Jude, and a 22% single-day share decline that capped a roughly $2.2 billion three-month market-cap loss.
