Fluidigm manufactures and markets products and services that are used by researchers to study health and disease, identify biomarkers, and accelerate the development of therapies. The Company uses proprietary CyTOF and microfluidics technologies to develop its end-to-end solutions.
On August 1, 2019, Fluidigm reported second quarter 2019 revenue of $28.2 million, well below analysts’ expectations of $32 million, citing weakness in its microfluidics segment.
On this news, the Company’s share price fell $4.10, or 34%, to close at $8.05 per share on August 2, 2019.
On November 5, 2019, after the market closed, Fluidigm reported that third quarter 2019 revenue declined 8.5% year-over-year primarily due to mass cytometry instrument sales.
On this news, the Company’s share price fell $2.60, or 51%, to close at $2.51 per share on November 6, 2019.
The complaint, filed on September 21, 2020, alleges that 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: (1) that Fluidigm was experiencing longer sales cycles; (2) that, as a result, Fluidigm’s revenue was reasonably likely to decline; and (3) that, 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.
