Deadline Reminder: Law Offices of Howard G. Smith Reminds Investors of Looming Deadline in the Class Action Lawsuit Against Sunnova Energy International Inc. (NOVA)

BENSALEM, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Law Offices of Howard G. Smith reminds investors of the upcoming April 16, 2024 deadline to file a lead plaintiff motion in the case filed on behalf of investors who purchased Sunnova Energy International Inc. (“Sunnova” or the “Company”) (NYSE: NOVA) securities between February 25, 2020 and December 7, 2023, inclusive (the “Class Period”).

Investors suffering losses on their Sunnova 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 [e-mail].

On November 22, 2023, the Washington Free Beacon reported that several consumer complaints had been brought against Sunnova regarding issues ranging from maintenance delays to “scamming” and using predatory sales tactics against elderly homeowners.

Then, on December 8, 2023, members of the U.S. House Committee on Energy and Commerce and the U.S. Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources sent a letter to the U.S. Department of Energy and Sunnova seeking information following the release of “disturbing” reports regarding Sunnova’s allegedly predatory business practices.

On this news, Sunnova’s stock price fell $2.00, or 16.1%, to close at $10.41 per share on December 8, 2023, thereby injuring investors.

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: (1) Sunnova routinely engaged in predatory business practices against disadvantaged homeowners and communities, the same groups that Project Hestia was purportedly intended to benefit; (2) the foregoing conduct subjected the Company to a heightened risk of regulatory and/or governmental scrutiny, as well as significant reputational and/or financial harm; and (3) as a result, Defendants’ positive statements about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.

If you purchased or otherwise acquired Sunnova securities during the Class Period, you may move the Court no later than April 16, 2024 to ask the Court to appoint you as lead plaintiff if you meet certain legal requirements. To be a member of the class action you need not take any action at this time; you may retain counsel of your choice or take no action and remain an absent member of the class action. If you wish to learn more about this class action, or if you have any questions concerning this announcement or your rights or interests with respect to these matters, please contact Howard G. Smith, Esquire, of Law Offices of Howard G.
