Class Action Lawsuit Filed Against Nextracker Inc. for Securities Fraud
On February 21, 2025, The Schall Law Firm announced that it had filed a class action lawsuit against Nextracker Inc. (NASDAQ: NXT) in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. The complaint alleges that Nextracker violated the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder by making false and misleading statements to investors during the Class Period, which spans from February 1, 2024, to August 1, 2024.
Alleged False and Misleading Statements
According to the complaint, Nextracker made false and misleading statements regarding its business, operations, and financial condition. Specifically, the Company issued a press release on May 17, 2024, announcing the successful commissioning of its new manufacturing facility in San Luis Obispo, California. The release stated that the facility was expected to increase Nextracker’s solar tracker production capacity by 1.3 gigawatts per year.
However, the complaint alleges that Nextracker failed to disclose that the facility was behind schedule and over budget. In addition, the Company’s financial statements for the second quarter of 2024 contained inaccurate revenue figures due to accounting errors. These misrepresentations artificially inflated Nextracker’s stock price during the Class Period.
Impact on Nextracker Shareholders
As a result of the alleged false and misleading statements, Nextracker investors suffered significant losses. The Company’s stock price peaked at $35.50 per share on May 26, 2024, but by August 4, 2024, it had fallen to $24.13 per share. Investors who purchased Nextracker securities during the Class Period may be able to recover their losses if the allegations in the complaint are proven in court.
Impact on the Solar Industry
The class action lawsuit against Nextracker is significant for the solar industry as a whole. The allegations of accounting errors and misrepresentations raise concerns about the financial reporting practices of other solar companies. In addition, the delay in the commissioning of Nextracker’s new manufacturing facility may impact the Company’s ability to meet its production targets and fulfill customer orders. This, in turn, could lead to delays and cost overruns for solar projects relying on Nextracker’s trackers. The solar industry is under increasing pressure to reduce costs and improve efficiency, and any perceived lack of transparency or reliability could deter investors and undermine public confidence.
