Wolfspeed, Inc.

On November 6, 2024, Wolfspeed released its first quarter fiscal 2025 financial results and provided second quarter guidance significantly below expectations due to “demand … ramp[ing] more slowly than [the Company] originally anticipated” as “EV customers revise their launch time lines as the market works though this transition period.” Additionally, while the Company previously estimated that its Mohawk Valley fabrication facility would result in $100 million in revenue, it now projected a range 30% to 50% below that mark.

On this news, Wolfspeed’s stock price fell $5.38, or 39.2%, to close at $8.33 per share on November 7, 2024, thereby injuring investors.

The complaint filed in this class action alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants failed to disclose to investors that: (1) the Company had overstated the demand for its key product and placed undue reliance on purported design wins; (2) the facility’s growth had begun to taper before even recognizing the $100 million revenue per quarter allegedly achievable with only 20% utilization of the fab, let alone the promised $2 billion revenue purportedly achievable by the facility; and (3) as a result, Defendants’ positive statements about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.
