Philadelphia, Pennsylvania–(Newsfile Corp. – May 5, 2023) – Berger Montague advises investors that a securities fraud class action lawsuit has been filed against Plug Power Inc. (“Plug”) (NASDAQ: PLUG) on behalf of those who purchased Plug commons stock between August 9, 2022 and March 1, 2023, inclusive (the “Class Period”).
Investor Deadline: Investors who purchased or acquired Plug securities during the Class Period may, no later than June 12, 2023, seek to be appointed as a lead plaintiff representative of the class. For additional information or to learn how to participate in this litigation, please contact Berger Montague: James Maro at [email protected] or on his cell (267) 637-3176, or Andrew Abramowitz at [email protected] or (215) 875-3015, or visit: https://investigations.bergermontague.com/plug-power/.
Plug is a hydrogen fuel cell company that develops power systems for use in electric vehicles, stationary power units, and other purposes.
The complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, the defendants misrepresented and/or failed to disclose that the Company was unable to effectively manage its supply chain and product manufacturing, resulting in reduced revenues and margins, increased inventory levels, and several large deals being delayed until at least 2023, among other issues.
Investors began to learn the truth on October 14, 2022, when Plug warned that full-year revenue could be 5% to 10% lower than previously projected. Defendants attributed the revenue revision to “some larger projects potentially being completed in 2023 instead of 2022 due to timing and broader supply chain issues.” Following this news, the price of Plug common stock declined $1.20 per share, or more than 6%, from a close of $19.23 per share on October 13, 2022, to close at $18.03 per share on October 14, 2022.
Then, after the market closed on March 1, 2023, Plug announced its financial results for the fourth quarter and full year 2022, including full-year revenue growth of just 40% on a year-over-year basis-missing even the reduced guidance range provided just a few weeks prior. Following this news, the price of Plug common stock declined $0.88 per share, or more than 6%, from a close of $14.21 per share on March 1, 2023, to close at $13.33 per share on March 2, 2023.
A lead plaintiff is a representative party that acts on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation. In order to be appointed lead plaintiff, the Court must determine that the class member’s claim is typical of the claims of other class members, and that the class member will adequately represent the class. Your ability to share in any recovery is not, however, affected by the decision whether or not to serve as a lead plaintiff. Any member of the purported class may move the Court to serve as a lead plaintiff through counsel of his/her choice, or may choose to do nothing and remain an inactive class member.
Whistleblowers: Anyone with non-public information regarding Plug is encouraged to confidentially assist Berger Montague’s investigation or take advantage of the SEC Whistleblower program. Under this program, whistleblowers who provide original information may receive rewards totaling up to thirty percent (30%) of recoveries obtained by the SEC. For more information, contact us.
