Pomerantz Law Firm Probes Potential Investor Fraud at New Era Energy & Digital, Inc.
On January 22, 2026, Pomerantz LLP announced an investigation into alleged securities fraud on behalf of investors in New Era Energy & Digital, Inc. (NASDAQ: NUAI). The inquiry appears to have been prompted by troubling reports regarding the company's business practices, particularly a significant drop in their stock price.
On December 12, 2025, Investing.com highlighted an article stating that New Era's stock experienced a notable decline after short seller Fuzzy Panda Research released a critical report. This report accused the company of disproportionate spending on stock promotions—allegedly 2.5 times more than what it allocated for the operation of its oil and gas ventures. Adding to the scrutiny, the report pointed out that New Era’s CEO, E. Will Gray II, has a controversial history of managing penny stock companies, claiming that he has repeatedly mismanaged them over two decades.
Consequently, New Era’s stock price dropped by $0.25, equating to a 6.9% decrease, closing at $3.35 on December 13, 2025. Following this disturbing news, investors faced further challenges. On December 29, 2025, Hunterbrook, another short-seller research firm, released an article detailing a lawsuit filed by the State of New Mexico against New Era and its CEO. This lawsuit accused the company of orchestrating a fraudulent oil and gas scheme, alleging that it had sought to divert revenue from operational wells while neglecting responsibility for environmental cleanup. The implications were severe, claiming the company left the state liable for the costs associated with plugging numerous oil wells.
The fallout from this news was significant: New Era's stock plummeted by an additional $2.19 per share, a dramatic 48.03% decline, resulting in a closing price of $2.37 by the end of that trading session.
