Key Details

Pomerantz LLP is investigating potential violations of federal securities laws by Copart, Inc. on behalf of investors who purchased securities and experienced financial losses. The investigation follows the announcement that Chief Executive Officer Jeff Liaw will step down effective July 31, 2026, with Executive Chairman Jay Adair resuming the role. Following this news, Copart’s stock price fell $2.45 per share, or 8.02%, to close at $28.10 per share on June 29, 2026.

The investigation concerns whether Copart and certain of its officers and/or directors have engaged in securities fraud or other unlawful business practices.

The firms seek to understand what the CEO transition suggests for Copart’s go-forward investment strategy.

Adair is set to assume the role of Chief Executive Officer effective July 31, 2026, succeeding Liaw, who is stepping down as CEO and director. Liaw will remain with the company to support the transition as Special Advisor to Adair.
