Nextracker Inc. Class Action Lawsuit: Shareholders Stand Ready to Take Action
Nextracker Inc. Class Action Lawsuit: An Overview
Nextracker Inc., traded on NASDAQ under the symbol NXT, finds itself at the center of a significant class action lawsuit that could impact many investors who purchased its stock between February 1, 2024, and August 1, 2024. This period marks a time when numerous shareholders experienced substantial financial losses, prompting Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd LLP to announce that affected investors can now apply to be lead plaintiffs in the ongoing lawsuit.
Background of the Lawsuit
The lawsuit, filed under the caption Weber v. Nextracker Inc., accuses the company along with several of its top executives of serious violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The claim asserts that during the class period, Nextracker made misleading statements regarding its overall business performance and financial forecasts. Specifically, it is alleged that the company downplayed the severity of project delays that significantly harmed its business outlook and revenue generation capabilities.
Investors learned that:
1. Nextracker failed to disclose that project delays had a far more detrimental effect than initially communicated.
2. Delays in permits and necessary connections materially impaired the company’s revenue conversion from backlog.
3. Contrary to claims made by the company, they could not mitigate the negative impacts of these delays nor maintain their market position against broader industry challenges.
4. As the negative implications of these inaccuracies unraveled, it became evident that investors were misled about the company’s actual performance.
Recent Financial Performance
On August 1, 2024, Nextracker disclosed disappointing quarterly results, revealing a drop in revenue from $737 million in Q4 2024 to $720 million in Q1 2025. What's more concerning for shareholders is that gross profits saw a similar decline, falling from $340 million to $237 million during the same period. This marked the first occasion since going public that Nextracker did not raise its guidance, signaling a troubling slowdown in growth for the upcoming financial year. In reaction to these revelations, Nextracker’s stock experienced a drastic decline of about 15% over just two trading days.
