The Complaint states that, during the Class Period, Babcock issued materially false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose issues with the Company’s European renewable contract, including the issues it caused with productivity and schedule issues in other Renewable segment projects; and the effect these issues would have on its financials and ability to meet its guidance.
On February 28, 2017, Babcock disclosed disappointing fourth quarter 2016 results that were below analyst expectations, citing strong declines in its Renewable Energy segment. The Company reported “fourth quarter 2016 revenues of $380.0 million, a decrease of $122.7 million, or 24.4%, compared to the fourth quarter of 2015.” The Company also reported a GAAP loss per share of $1.47 for the fourth quarter of 2016, compared to a loss per share of $0.10 for the fourth quarter of 2015. Upon release of this news, shares of Babcock dropped in value materially, which allegedly caused investors harm.
