SES shares collapsed 36.8%, a loss of $0.63 per share, after the Company disclosed that logistics constraints delayed $1.5 million in Q4 shipments and issued 2026 revenue guidance of $30 million to $35 million, falling far short of the $51.67 million Wall Street expected.
What is a Lead Plaintiff?
Under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, the lead plaintiff is the investor or group of investors appointed by the Court to represent the entire class. In the SES AI case, lead plaintiff applicants must demonstrate losses from purchases of SES securities between January 29, 2025 and March 4, 2026. The Court will select the applicant with the largest financial interest in the relief sought who is otherwise typical and adequate.
Lead Plaintiff Facts
Post-Deadline Procedures
After the June 26, 2026 deadline passes, the Court will review competing motions and appoint a lead plaintiff. This process typically takes several weeks. Once appointed, the lead plaintiff selects lead counsel, and the litigation proceeds with consolidated amended pleadings. Absent class members need take no action during this period.
Absent Class Member Rights
Investors who purchased SES securities during the Class Period but do not seek lead plaintiff appointment retain full rights as absent class members. No action is required to preserve your claim. If the case results in a settlement or judgment, absent class members will receive notice and an opportunity to submit a claim.
"The lead plaintiff process is designed to ensure the class is represented by shareholders with substantial interests in the outcome of the litigation. In the SES AI case, the Court will evaluate which applicant can most effectively represent investors who purchased shares while the Company allegedly promoted phantom deals and circular revenue arrangements." -- Joseph E. Levi, Esq.
