(“ChargePoint” or the “Company”) (NYSE: CHPT) between June 1, 2023 and November 16, 2023, inclusive (the “Class Period”).

According to the Complaint, ChargePoint provides networked solutions for charging electric vehicles, including the ChargePoint cloud subscription platform and charging hardware. ChargePoint claims its goods and services are designed for an array of charging scenarios from home to workplace, parking, hospitality, retail and transport fleets of all types.
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 was experiencing higher component costs and supply overruns for first generation DC charging products; (2) the Company was likely to incur impairment charges; and (3) the Company’s profitability would be adversely impacted.
On November 16, 2023, after the market closed, ChargePoint released preliminary financial results for the third quarter of fiscal year 2024, which would include an “additional non-cash inventory impairment charge” in the amount of $42 million “related to product transitions and to better align inventory with current demand.” As a result, the Company expected to report “GAAP gross margin of negative 23% to negative 21%.” The Company also reported revenue had fallen to “$108 million to $113 million, as compared to $150 to $165 million as previously expected.” Moreover, ChargePoint’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer were both replaced, effective immediately.
On this news, the Company’s share price fell $1.11, or 35%, to close at $2.02 per share on November 17, 2023.
If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than January 29, 2024. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation. Your ability to share in any recovery doesn’t require that you serve as lead plaintiff. If you choose to take no action, you may remain an absent class member.
