LOST MONEY IN XPEL, INC.? Gibbs Law Group Investigates Potential Securities Law Violations

OAKLAND, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Shares of XPEL, Inc. dropped over 8% on Wednesday, November 8, 2023 after releasing a third quarter report showing its revenue and profits missed analysts’ estimates. Previously, XPEL plummeted over 17% on October 19, 2023 after Culper Research published a report alleging that the company “grossly understated its substantial reliance on Tesla” and also “is concealing a massive undisclosed risk.” Gibbs Law Group is investigating a potential XPEL Securities Class Action Lawsuit on behalf of shareholders who lost money in XPEL, Inc. (NASDAQ:XPEL).

On Thursday, October 19, 2023, Culper Research published a report alleging that protective film and coating company XPEL, Inc. has been concealing and misstating its vulnerabilities. The report alleges that, despite XPEL claiming in a Form 8-K filing that Tesla represents only 5% or less of its revenue pertaining to paint protection film, interviews with XPEL installers reveal the true number is likely 25% to 35%. According to Culper Research, XPEL published the 5% figure in response to news reports on October 11, 2023 suggesting Tesla had begun offering its own pain protection films, effectively disintermediating XPEL.

Culper Research also claims that XPEL, which it asserts has “merely licensed” protective films and does not itself develop them, is concealing the news that its longtime primary supplier, entrotech, recently formed a joint venture with PPG that will soon render XPEL’s business “obsolete.” According to Culper Research, a representative from the joint venture claims they’ve found a way to integrate the paint protection technology directly into the paint. As a result, XPEL’s product, an “aftermarket wrap,” may have been “leapfrogged.”

Following this report, XPEL’s stock price dropped 17% on Thursday, October 19, 2023, causing significant harm to investors.
