The Complaint alleges that Nikola purports to operate as an integrated zero-emissions transportation systems provider. It is alleged that throughout the Class Period, Defendants failed to disclose to investors a number of facts, including that Nikola's founder and CEO had repeatedly misrepresented and exaggerated Nikola's financial, technological, and operational profile, which thus presented a materially false image of the Company's growth and success, thereby artificially inflating the Company's stock price.
The lawsuit also alleges that on September 10, 2020, Hindenburg Research published a report that it had gathered "extensive evidence-including recorded phone calls, text messages, private emails, and behind-the-scenes photographs," and had identified "dozens of false statements by" Milton. The Complaint alleges that on this news, Nikola's stock price fell $4.80 per share, or 11.33%, to close at $37.57 per share.
