Case Background:
A class action lawsuit was filed on behalf of those who purchased or acquired First Solar, Inc. (“First Solar”) (NASDAQ: FSLR) common stock between February 22, 2019, and February 20, 2020, inclusive (the “Class Period”).
The complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, the Defendants willfully or recklessly made and/or caused First Solar to make false and misleading statements that failed to disclose that: (1) the Series 6 module was grossly underperforming and was unable to hit its wattage targets; (2) when the units installed at the Project Development sites were unable to produce the contractually mandated wattage target, additional units needed to be installed – an additional cost borne by First Solar; (3) when additional Series 6 units had to be installed at Project Development sites to compensate for the insufficient and inconsistent wattage, rather than properly charging the costs of the additional Series 6 units to the Modules segment, Fist Solar instead improperly booked the cost of the additional units to another company segment; and (4) as a result of the foregoing, the defendants’ positive statements about First Solar’s business, operations and prospects were materially false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.
Current Status of Case:
On June 23, 2023, the Court granted the Motion to Dismiss. This action has concluded.
