On May 7, 2025, West Pharmaceutical Services, Inc. (WST) saw a significant increase in trading volume, with a turnover of 1.99 billion, marking a 43.42% rise from the previous day. This surge placed WST at the 483rd position in terms of trading volume for the day. The stock price of WST also rose by 3.79%.

Several legal actions have been initiated against West Pharmaceutical Services, Inc. (WST) by various law firms. These lawsuits allege that the company and its executives made false statements and concealed critical information regarding the company's financial health and operational challenges. The complaints assert that West's SmartDose device, which was marketed as a high-margin growth product, was actually dilutive to the company's profit margins due to operational inefficiencies. Additionally, the lawsuits claim that the company's destocking issues and restructuring activities were not adequately disclosed, leading to misleading statements about the company's business prospects.

On February 12, 2025, West reported positive fourth-quarter 2024 financial results but provided full-year 2025 guidance that fell significantly below analysts' expectations. This discrepancy has raised concerns among investors and contributed to the ongoing legal scrutiny. The lawsuits seek to recover damages for shareholders who were adversely affected by the alleged securities fraud between February 16, 2023, and February 12, 2025.
