Evolv Technologies Holdings, Inc. Securities Class Action (EVLV):
The complaint alleges that Evolv's financial statements for the period between the second quarter of 2022 and the second quarter of 2024 contained material misrepresentations and omissions related to the company's revenue recognition and other financial metrics.
On October 25, 2024, Evolv issued a press release acknowledging material weaknesses in its internal controls over financial reporting and disclosing that certain sales, particularly to a major channel partner, were subject to undisclosed terms and conditions. The company also revealed that certain employees engaged in misconduct related to these transactions. Following this announcement, Evolv's stock price plummeted approximately 40%.
Then, on October 31, 2024, Evolv announced the termination of its CEO, Peter George. The company's stock price declined further, falling approximately 8% on the news.
The lawsuit alleges that Evolv and its executives misled investors by failing to disclose material information about the company's financial performance and internal controls. Investors who suffered losses during the class period may be eligible to recover their damages.
Shareholder rights firm Hagens Berman is investigating the allegations.
"We are deeply concerned by the recent revelations regarding Evolv Technologies' financial reporting and sales practices. Our investigation will rigorously examine the company's internal controls, revenue recognition methods, and the role of senior management in this alleged misconduct," said Reid Kathrein, the partner leading the investigation.
