What happened?

On September 2, 2026, FuelCell reported its fiscal third-quarter results. The Company reported, among other things, that revenue fell 29% year over year to $33 million, primarily due to lower product sales caused by fewer module deliveries to customers in South Korea. FuelCell further reported it saw a gross loss from product revenues for the quarter reflecting that product costs and manufacturing overhead currently exceeded the contractual pricing established under the Fit Energy agreement. FuelCell recognized approximately $17 million in charges related to the initial 30 MW phase of that agreement.

On this news, FuelCell shares fell $2.68 or 15.69% to close at $14.40 on September 2, 2026, thereby injuring investors.

What is the FuelCell Energy, Inc. lawsuit about?

The FuelCell Energy, Inc. securities lawsuit alleges that, between June 24, 2026 and September 1, 2026, defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements and failed to disclose material adverse facts about FuelCell Energy, Inc.'s business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, the complaint alleges defendants failed to disclose that: (1) the Company's manufacturing capacity was inadequate to generate the production rate required under the CEPA; (2) as a result, the Company's annualized production rate for deliveries under the CEPA with Fit Energy was slower than expected; (3) as a result, the Company was incurring higher product costs and manufacturing overhead expenses; (4) as a result of the slower production rate, the Company was reasonably likely to incur charges in connection with the CEPA; (5) the foregoing was a known trend affecting the Company's profitability; and (6) as a result, defendants' positive statements about FuelCell Energy, Inc.'s business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.

"The lawsuit against FuelCell Energy, Inc. alleges that, among other things, the Company failed to tell investors that the Company's manufacturing capacity was inadequate to generate the production rate required under the CEPA. FuelCell Energy, Inc. investors who bought during the class period may be able to pursue their losses, and the November 10, 2026 deadline is where that process begins," said Howard G. Smith of The Law Offices of Howard G. Smith.
