Alexandria Real Estate Equities, Inc. Faces Securities Lawsuit After Alleged Misleading Statements

LOS ANGELES, January 19, 2026 — Alexandria Real Estate Equities, Inc. (“Alexandria” or “the Company”) (NYSE: ARE) has been named as a defendant in a class action lawsuit alleging violations of federal securities laws, according to a press release distributed via PR Newswire today. The DJS Law Group LLP is reminding investors of their legal rights and encouraging those who suffered losses to consider participating in the litigation.

Overview of the Allegations

The lawsuit centers on alleged violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as well as Rule 10b-5, which prohibits deceptive practices in connection with the purchase or sale of securities. Plaintiffs claim that Alexandria’s public statements made during the so-called “class period” were materially false and misleading, causing financial harm to investors.

The alleged class period spans from January 27, 2025, through October 27, 2025. During this timeframe, complaints assert that Alexandria repeatedly and repeatedly highlighted positive developments such as a strong development tenant pipeline, solid leasing activity, and other forward-looking operational claims that market participants relied upon when buying or holding ARE stock.

Key Allegations Made in the Complaint

• The lawsuit claims that Alexandria made public statements that were not supported by underlying facts and financial performance.
• It is alleged that executives represented certain properties — especially the Long Island City portfolio — as having robust performance and future value when, in reality, occupancy was declining and leasing activity was weak.
• Investors were allegedly influenced by these positive statements without being informed of the full extent of operational and financial challenges.

Impact on Shareholders and the Market

Reports from other legal firms indicate that following the disclosure of disappointing quarterly results and a large impairment charge related to the Long Island City property, Alexandria’s stock price experienced a significant decline — in some cases falling nearly 19% in a single trading session.

Investors who bought or held ARE shares based on the company’s allegedly inflated and misleading public statements may have suffered notable financial losses. The class action seeks to represent all such investors who traded Alexandria securities during the Class Period.

Deadline for Lead Plaintiff Appointment

Shareholders interested in taking part in the legal action have until January 26, 2026 to file a motion with the court to be appointed as the “Lead Plaintiff.” This status allows an investor to represent the entire class and guide the litigation. However, being appointed Lead Plaintiff is not required to seek participation in any recovery that might arise from the lawsuit.

Poor Performance and Recent Financial Challenges

The lawsuit’s allegations come amid broader market challenges for Alexandria. The company reported disappointing third-quarter results in 2025, including a hefty impairment charge tied to a key property and resulting in a sharp stock price drop. Some legal analyses and investor alerts have tied these financial setbacks to the legal claims, suggesting that unaddressed declines in occupancy and leasing activity were concealed from investors.

What This Means for Investors

If you purchased Alexandria Real Estate Equities shares between January and October of 2025 and experienced financial losses, you may want to speak with counsel about your legal rights. Class actions like this often result in negotiations or court decisions that may offer some recovery, but participation deadlines and procedural steps must be followed carefully. As noted, the deadline for lead plaintiff motion is imminent.

Next Steps for Eligible Shareholders

Investors who believe they are part of the proposed class should:

1. Review official court documents and complaint filings related to the case.
2. Contact a qualified securities litigation attorney before the deadline.
3. Decide whether to participate alone, through counsel, or by seeking lead plaintiff status.

Conclusion

The class action lawsuit against Alexandria Real Estate Equities highlights significant legal and financial challenges facing the company and its investors. Allegations of misleading statements under federal securities laws have led to a coordinated effort by multiple law firms to support shareholder claims. Eligible investors should act promptly to protect their rights before the key deadlines pass.
