GoPro Inc. (GPRO) Investigation:
The investigation centers on whether GoPro misrepresented and concealed severe supply chain issues adversely impacting the production of its new flagship HERO8 Black camera.
Over the past several months, GoPro has promoted the release of its HERO8 Black camera, suggesting the new product would significantly contribute to double digit revenue growth.
But then on October 2, 2019, GoPro shocked investors when it warned that earnings for the second half of its fiscal year would miss expectations due to production delays in its HERO8 Black camera. Specifically, the company said that "due to a late stage production delay, HERO8 Black shipments will shift from the third quarter to the fourth quarter of 2019, resulting in a significant revenue shift between the quarters." As a result, GoPro slashed its estimated second-half revenue growth by one-third. On this news, the stock dropped nearly 20% in a single trading day, wiping out over $120 million in market capitalization.
"We're focused on investors' losses and whether the Company concealed production issues with its HERO8 Black camera," said Hagens Berman partner Reed Kathrein.
