NuScale Power Corporation (NYSE: SMR) Securities Fraud Class Action:
The complaint challenges NuScale’s disclosures concerning the commercial prospects of its key agreements with the Utah Associated Municipal Power Systems (“UAMPS”) for its Carbon Free Power Project (“CFPP”) and with datacenter service provider Standard Power.
Specifically, the complaint alleges that Defendants misrepresented and concealed that: (1) due to the inflationary impact on cost of construction and power, NuScale and UAMPS would be unable to sign up enough subscribers to fulfill the CFPP; and (2) Standard Power did not have the financial ability to support its agreement with NuScale.
Investors began to learn the truth on Oct. 19, 2023, when activist short seller Iceberg Research published the results of its analysis in a report entitled “NuScale Power ($SMR): A Fake Customer and a Major Contract in Peril Cast Doubt on NuScale’s viability.” As to NuScale’s deal with UAMPS, Iceberg expressed concerns about constant cost overruns and questioned NuScale’s ability to commercialize the deal due to the company’s apparent undisclosed failure to meet contractual subscription rates. Iceberg concluded with respect to Standard Power that “[t]his contract has zero chance of being executed as Standard Power clearly does not have the means to support contracts of this size[]” and opined about concerns relative to NuScale management integrity.
Then, on Nov. 8, 2023, NuScale announced that it and UAMPS agreed to terminate their agreement blaming an inability to “have enough subscription revenue to continue toward deployment.”
Each of these events caused NuScale shares to decline sharply.
“We’re focused on investors’ losses and are investigating whether NuScale misrepresented the commercial viability of its Carbon Free Power Project,” said Reed Kathrein, the Hagens Berman partner leading the investigation.
