BENSALEM, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Law Offices of Howard G. Smith announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed on behalf of investors who purchased Kornit Digital Ltd. (“Kornit” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: KRNT) ordinary shares between February 17, 2021 and July 5, 2022, inclusive (the “Class Period”). Kornit investors have until April 17, 2023 to file a lead plaintiff motion.
Investors suffering losses on their Kornit investments are encouraged to contact the Law Offices of Howard G. Smith to discuss their legal rights in this class action at 888-638-4847 or by email to howardsmith@howardsmithlaw.com.
On May 11, 2022, Kornit released its first quarter 2022 financial results, reporting a net loss of $5.2 million and lowering second quarter revenue expectations by $13 million. The Company blamed a slowdown in orders in the e-commerce segment while also revealing that one of its largest customers had decided to acquire digital printing systems from one of Kornit’s competitors.
On this news, Kornit’s stock price fell $18.78, or 33.3%, to close at $37.63 per share on May 11, 2022, thereby injuring investors.
Then, on July 5, 2022, after the market closed, Kornit released its preliminary financial results for the second quarter of 2022, disclosing a significant revenue shortfall during the quarter. Instead of previous guidance expectations of $85 million to $95 million, the Company estimated a range of $56.4 million to $59.4 million.
On this news, Kornit’s stock price fell $8.10, or 25.7%, to close at $23.46 per share on July 6, 2022, thereby injuring investors further.
The complaint filed in this class action alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants failed to disclose to investors that: (i) the Company’s digital printing business was beset by significant quality control problems and deficient customer service; (ii) as a result, Kornit was more vulnerable to pressure from competitors than it had represented and lacked the competitive advantages it touted to investors; and (iii) as a result of the foregoing, Kornit lost market share to competitors, which led to a decline in the Company’s revenues, as Kornit’s dissatisfied customers sought out alternative options for their digital printing needs.
