According to the complaint, SanDisk designs, develops, manufactures, and markets data storage solutions in the United States and internationally. The Company offers removable cards, which are used in various applications and consumer devices, including digital cameras, camcorders, smartphones, tablets, and eReaders under the SanDisk Ultra, SanDisk Extreme, and SanDisk Extreme PRO brands; and embedded products that are used in mobile phones, tablets, notebooks, and other portable and wearable devices, as well as in automotive and connected home applications under the brand name iNAND.
The Complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and misleading statements regarding quality control within the corporate organizational structure. Specifically, Defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) the Company was experiencing certain production qualification delays on certain of its key products; (2) the Company was experiencing lower than expected sales of enterprise products; (3) the Company was vulnerable to lower pricing in some areas of the business; and (4) as a result of the foregoing, the Company would be forced to announce drastically lower first quarter revenue estimates compared to prior forecasts, and withdraw 2015 forecasts for the Company's financial results in their entirety.
On March 26, 2015, before the market opened, the Company issued a press release announcing that it expects revenue for the fiscal first quarter "to be approximately $1.3 billion, depending on final sell-through results, compared to the previously forecasted revenue range of $1.40 billion to $1.45 billion." As the Company disclosed, this reduction in guidance was "primarily due to certain product qualification delays, lower than expected sales of enterprise products and lower pricing in some areas of the business." Moreover, the Company announced that it expects continued impact to its 2015 financial results from these factors as well as the previously identified supply challenges, and now forecasts 2015 revenue to be lower than the previously forecast.
On this news, shares of SanDisk declined $14.98 per share, or 18.45%, to close on March 26, 2015, at $66.20 per share, on unusually heavy volume.
If you are a member of the class described above, you may no later than May 29, 2015, move the Court to serve as lead plaintiff of the class, if you so choose.
A lead plaintiff is a representative party that acts on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation. In order to be appointed lead plaintiff, the Court must determine that the class member's claim is typical of the claims of other class members, and that the class member will adequately represent the class. Your ability to share in any recovery is not, however, affected by the decision whether or not to serve as a lead plaintiff. Any member of the purported class may move the court to serve as a lead plaintiff through counsel of their choice, or may choose to do nothing and remain an inactive class member.
