What is this Case About: Stem, Inc. (STEM) Misled Investors in its Offering Documents in Connection with its Merger
According to the complaint, the Offering Documents and defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) Legacy Stem suffered from material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting related to accounting for deferred cost of goods sold and inventory, certain revenue recognition calculations, and internal-use capitalized software calculations; (ii) the Company had overstated Legacy Stem’s and its own post-merger business and financial prospects; (iii) Stem’s software revenue did not make up 100% of the Company’s services revenue; (iv) Stem had overstated the benefits expected to flow from its AP partnership; and (v) as a result, the Offering Documents and defendants’ public statements throughout the class period were materially false and/or misleading and failed to state information required to be stated therein.
On January 11, 2023, Blue Orca Capital issued a report alleging various undisclosed issues with Stem’s business and financial prospects, including, among other things, that the Company had overstated its software revenues by falsely claiming that 100% of its services revenue line was attributable to software revenues.
Then, on February 16, 2023, Stem reported disappointing 4Q 2022 results and 2023 guidance. On this news, Stem’s stock price fell $1.44 per share, or 14.78%, to close at $8.30 per share on February 17, 2023—a 69.32% decline from the Company’s first post-merger closing stock price of $27.05 per share on April 29, 2021.
