INVESTOR ALERT: Law Offices of Howard G. Smith Announces Investigation of Canaan Inc. (CAN) on Behalf of Investors

BENSALEM, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Law Offices of Howard G. Smith announces an investigation on behalf of Canaan Inc. (“Canaan” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: CAN) investors concerning the Company’s possible violations of federal securities laws.

On April 12, 2021, before the markets opened, Canaan announced its fourth quarter and fiscal year 2020 financial results in a press release. Therein, the Company reported a 93% year-over-year decrease in computing power sold and net revenues for the quarter, citing “a severe supply shortage” of “mining machine” chips during the quarter. The Company also revealed that older machines were sold for lower prices than the newer machines for which Canaan received pre-orders, despite prior statements that the price of bitcoin mining machines typically increased with the price of bitcoin, which had risen dramatically during the fourth quarter.

On this news, Canaan’s American Depositary Receipt (“ADR”) price fell $5.53, or 30%, to close at $13.14 per ADR on April 12, 2021, thereby injuring investors.

If you purchased Canaan ADRs, have information or would like to learn more about these claims, or have any questions concerning this announcement or your rights or interests with respect to these matters, please contact Howard G.

Smith, 3070 Bristol Pike, Suite 112, Bensalem, Pennsylvania 19020 by telephone at [phone], toll-free at [phone], or by email to [e-mail], or visit our website at www.howardsmithlaw.com.
