Lawsuits for this need to start including shareholders as defendants.
I get the sentiment, but … they kind of already are.
Being a shareholder means you own part of the company. If the company stands to lose money from this lawsuit, then all the shareholders do as well. (That is, at least, on the somewhat naive assumption that a company’s stock price has any relation whatsoever to how much money it has and can make.)

When the stock value falls, they’re not immediately losing money. If they sell the stock, that’s when they either profit or lose. As long as they hold on to their stocks, there are no actualised losses.
