SunPower Corporation (NASDAQ: SPWR) Securities Fraud Class Action:
“The litigation focuses on whether SunPower may have intentionally misled investors about its cost of revenues and internal controls,” said Reed Kathrein, the Hagens Berman partner leading the investigation.
Recently, on Nov. 27, SunPower disclosed that it had received a notice from Nasdaq indicating that, as a result of not having timely filed the Form 10-Q with the SEC, the Company is not in compliance with Nasdaq listing rules.
SunPower’s failure to timely file its quarterly report stems from the events leading to the Company’s announced restatement on Oct. 24, 2023, which are now the subject of an investor class action suit.
The complaint there alleges SunPower mispresented and concealed that: (1) due to a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting, it inaccurately reported cost of revenue and inventory metrics; and (2) as a result, the company was reasonably likely to incur significant charges to restate prior financial reporting.
Investors allegedly learned the truth on Oct. 24, 2023, when SunPower admitted that “the value of consignment inventory of microinverter components at certain third-party locations had been overstated […] in the range of approximately $16 million to $20 million, resulting in the associated cost of revenue being understated.”
SunPower also admitted to material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting, and revealed that it is negotiating for a waiver and consent to address the effects of the upcoming restatements under the company’s credit agreement with Bank of America, N.A.
In response, the price of SunPower shares fell $0.90, or about 18%, on Oct. 25, 2023.
