Pomerantz Law Firm Files Class Action Against Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises

Pomerantz LLP, a renowned law firm, has announced the filing of a class action lawsuit against Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises, Inc. (referred to as 'B&W' or 'the Company') along with its certain officers. The lawsuit is lodged in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Ohio under the docket number 26-cv-00886. The class action is on behalf of all individuals and entities, excluding the defendants, who purchased or acquired B&W securities between November 5, 2025, and March 11, 2026, an interval designated as the 'Class Period.' The lawsuit aims to recover damages arising from apparent violations of federal securities laws, specifically with regard to Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5, applicable to the Company and certain of its high-ranking officials.

Investors who acquired BW securities during the Class Period are urged to act swiftly, as the deadline to request appointment as Lead Plaintiff for the class is set for June 15, 2026. Among other relevant details, a copy of the Complaint can be sourced through the Pomerantz Law website. Interested parties are encouraged to reach out to attorney Danielle Peyton via email or phone for further discussions, providing their contact details and share information for efficiency.

Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises operates in various international markets, delivering energy and emissions control solutions for industrial sectors, electrical utility companies, municipalities, and others, with extensive reach into the United States, Canada, the U.K., Indonesia, and the Philippines.

The primary stakeholder in BW is BRC Group Holdings, Inc., formerly known as B. Riley Financial, Inc. Bryant R. Riley, who serves as Co-CEO and Chairman of the Board, is associated closely with this major shareholder. On November 4, 2025, the Company outlined an agreement to initiate a limited notice to proceed for a project focused on delivering power to an artificial intelligence facility managed by Applied Digital Corporation. The defendants purportedly valued this project, known as the Power Generation LNTP, at over $1.5 billion—a claim that was extensively advertised.

At the same time, B&W released its fiscal quarter results for Q3 2025, as reported on November 4, 2025, emphasizing the significant potential impact of the Power Generation LNTP on future revenue, as stated by Kenneth M. Young, B&W's Chairman, and CEO. This announcement coincided with a sales agreement struck between BW, BRC, and Lake Street Capital Markets, aimed at raising up to $200 million through the ATM offering—a financial maneuver that received mixed reactions from the market.

Following subsequent announcements, BW's shares skyrocketed by over 198%, increasing from $3.74 on November 4, 2025, to $11.15 by February 3, 2026. On February 11, 2026, BRC took the opportunity to sell its entire shareholding, reportedly valued at approximately $10.4 million, at a stock price significantly higher than the previous year.

On March 4, 2026, the Company issued a press release confirming a substantial $2.4 billion design-build agreement with Base Electron, which was, again, celebrated as further validation of B&W's strong market position. However, crucial oversight came into play when it was revealed that Applied Digital could terminate any contracts backing the agreement for a relatively minor sum of $50 million if necessary.

Throughout the Class Period, the complaint claims, defendants are accused of disseminating misleading statements concerning the Company’s performance and outlook. The allegations specifically suggest that vital information regarding BRC's dual role as a stakeholder, vested interests in the Power Generation agreements, and implications for revenue recognition were concealed from investors.

The entire situation ignited significant scrutiny after a report from Wolfpack Research on March 12, 2026. It raised doubts about B&W's operational transparency and potential future earnings linked to the ongoing projects related to Applied Digital and BRC. Following this report, BW’s stock experienced a drastic plunge, tumbling 11.59% to close at $13.05 per share, accentuating concerns over the reported agreements.
