In his lawsuit, James Kacouris alleges Facebook officials did not disclose stagnant revenue growth, declining operating margins and reductions in active users, which left shareholders shocked when the company’s stock dropped 19 percent July 26 after a disappointing earnings statement.

The class-action lawsuit seeks unspecified damages.
