SHAREHOLDER ALERT: Pomerantz Law Firm Reminds Shareholders with Losses on their Investment in SunPower Corporation of Class Action Lawsuit and Upcoming Deadline - SPWR

Then, on October 24, 2023, after the market closed, SunPower filed a Form 8-K with the SEC (the "October 24 8-K") revealing a material weakness in its internal controls and the impending restatement of certain financial statements. The October 24 8-K disclosed that investors should no longer rely upon the audited financial statements included in the Company's Form 10-K for the period ended January 1, 2023 (the "2022 10-K"), the unaudited financial statements included in the Company's Form 10-Q for the period ended April 2, 2023 (the "Q1 2023 10-Q"), the unaudited financial statements included in the Company's Form 10-Q for the period ended July 2, 2023 (the "Q2 2023 10-Q"), and any communications describing or based upon those financial statements. The Company added that it planned to restate the 2022 10-K, the Q1 2023 10-Q, and the Q2 2023 10-Q. SunPower explained that it had overstated the value of consignment inventory of certain microinverter components, causing it to understate the associated cost of revenue. The October 24 8-K further revealed that consequently, SunPower's management had concluded that a material weakness existed in the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

On this news, the Company's share price fell $0.90 per share, or 18.1%, to close at $4.06 per share on October 25, 2023, on unusually high trading volume.

Throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements and failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company's business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants misled investors by failing to disclose that: (1) due to a material weakness in its internal control over financial reporting, the Company had inaccurately reported cost of revenue and inventory metrics; (2) as a result of the foregoing, the Company was reasonably likely to incur significant charges to restate prior reporting; and (3) as a result of the foregoing, Defendants' positive statements about the Company's business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.
