NEW YORK, Aug. 20, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The law firm of Kirby McInerney LLP announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas on behalf of those who acquired Cabot Oil & Gas Corporation (Cabot or the Company) (NYSE: COG) securities during the period from October 23, 2015 through June 12, 2020 (the Class Period). Investors have until October 13, 2020 to apply to the Court to be appointed as lead plaintiff in the lawsuit.

According to the Complaint, the Company made false and misleading statements to the market. Cabot failed to maintain appropriate environmental controls and also failed to mitigate known problems with controls and procedures. The Company failed to fix malfunctioning gas wells, polluting the water supply of Pennsylvania. The Company downplayed its civil and criminal liability for this and other environmental problems. Based on these facts, the Companys public statements were false and materially misleading throughout the class period. When the market learned the truth about Cabot, investors suffered damages.
