Allegations and Scope
The STMicroelectronics class action lawsuit seeks to represent investors who acquired publicly traded securities of STMicroelectronics N.V. (NYSE: STM), a prominent global semiconductor company, during the period spanning January 25, 2024, through July 24, 2024, inclusive. The case, captioned Wang v. STMicroelectronics N.V., No. 24-cv-06370 (S.D.N.Y.), alleges violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 by STMicroelectronics and certain top executives.
A subsequently filed case, Malm v. STMicroelectronics N.V., No. 24-cv-06384 (S.D.N.Y.), echoes similar allegations against the semiconductor giant. At the crux of these lawsuits lies the assertion that STMicroelectronics made false and misleading statements throughout the class period, failing to disclose material facts about its forecasting capabilities, visibility into market dynamics, and ability to navigate challenges in key end-market industries. Financial Disclosures and Stock Impact
The allegations gained traction following STMicroelectronics' financial disclosures in Q1 2024. On April 25, 2024, the company announced negatively revised full-year 2024 revenue and margin projections, citing lower revenues in the Automotive and Industrial sectors. This revelation coincided with an 18.4% year-over-year decline in Q1 revenue, totaling $3.47 billion, and decreased net sales across various channels.
Consequently, STMicroelectronics' stock price allegedly experienced a significant decline in the aftermath of these Q1 2024 disclosures. The situation escalated further when the company released its Q2 2024 financial results on July 25, 2024, further reducing revenue guidance and acknowledging that customer orders in the Industrial sector did not improve as expected, while Automotive demand declined. STMicroelectronics revised its full-year 2024 revenue projection to a range of $13.2 billion to $13.7 billion and forecasted a gross margin of approximately 40%. In response, the company's stock price reportedly plummeted by more than 15%, exacerbating the impact on investors. Lead Plaintiff Deadline and Process
