What is this Case About: Generac Holdings, Inc. (GNRC) Made False and Misleading Statements Regarding its Business Prospects

According to the complaint, during the class period, defendants underplayed the impact of inflation on consumer generator sales, going so far as to say that it is “trumped” by other factors. Consequently, defendants provided investors with a skewed outlook for 2023, asserting that the Company would recover sales by the second half of 2023, in spite of macroeconomic factors, which disfavored consumer spending.

On August 2, 2023, the Company held its Q2 2023 earnings call. During that call, defendant Jagfeld revealed lackluster quarterly results: “[y]ear-over-year, overall net sales decreased 23% to $1 billion and quarter sales declined 26% during the quarter. Residential sales products decreased 44% …” Defendant Jagfeld also indicated the diminished consumer spending would affect Generac’s sales for the remainder of 2023. Defendant Ragen further explained the residential sector is “not going to improve as much as we thought relative to 3 months ago because of the softer consumer that we’re seeing.” On this news, Generac shares plummeted by 27.8%, to close at $110.77 on August 3, 2023.
