Investors of Red Cat Holdings, Inc. Invited to Take Action Against Company Losses
In an important development for shareholders, Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd LLP has announced that investors in Red Cat Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: RCAT) have until July 22, 2025, to join a class action lawsuit. This lawsuit, known as Olsen v. Red Cat Holdings, Inc., is a result of significant financial losses experienced by investors who purchased shares between March 18, 2022, and January 15, 2025. The lawsuit accuses Red Cat and several of its top executives of violating the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
Red Cat Holdings operates primarily in the drone industry, offering a variety of unmanned aircraft systems, including the 'Teal 2' drone. Unfortunately, the class action lawsuit claims that the company's management made misleading statements regarding the production capabilities of their facility in Salt Lake City. During the class period, it was alleged that the executives consistently overstated both the production capacity of this facility and the value of Red Cat's Short Range Reconnaissance Program of Record Tranche 2 contract (referred to as the 'SRR Contract').
One of the key allegations came to light on July 27, 2023, when Red Cat unveiled that the Salt Lake City facility was able to produce only 100 drones per month, contrary to earlier assertions of a much higher capacity. This revelation indicated that construction was still underway and could only achieve a projected capacity of 1,000 drones per month with additional funding and manufacturing efficiencies in the future. Following this news, Red Cat's stock suffered a nearly 9% drop.
Further complicating matters, on September 23, 2024, the company announced its first-quarter results for fiscal year 2025, reporting a loss of $0.17 per share, which was $0.09 lower than analysts' expectations. Shareholders were informed that retooling of the Salt Lake City facility and delays in the manufacturing of the Teal 2 drone adversely affected sales. This news led to a substantial decline in stock price, with shares plummeting more than 25%.
Additionally, on January 16, 2025, Kerrisdale Capital published a report questioning the legitimacy of the SRR contract, suggesting it was less favorable than represented by management. The report claimed it was unlikely that a mass-production facility for drone manufacturing could be built for under $1 million, leading to another significant drop of over 21% in Red Cat’s stock in just two trading sessions.
The ongoing class action lawsuit aims to provide recovery for investors who faced substantial losses. Under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, any individual who acquired Red Cat securities during the class period can step forward to become the lead plaintiff. This individual must demonstrate that they have a significant financial interest in the recovery sought and are a typical and adequate representative of the class. The lead plaintiff will guide the legal proceedings and select a law firm to handle the case, but the ability to receive a potential payout does not hinge on being the lead plaintiff.
Robbins Geller is recognized as one of the leading law firms in lawsuits associated with securities fraud and shareholder litigation. The firm has achieved notable success in the realm of securities class action cases, recovering over $2.5 billion for investors in 2024 alone. With a team of 200 attorneys spread across 10 offices, Robbins Geller has secured many of the largest recoveries in the history of such cases, underscoring their position as a formidable advocate for investor rights.
