As detailed below, the complaint alleges that the Company and its executives violated federal securities laws by making false and/or misleading statements and/or failing to disclose that: (1) Lantronix overstated demand and/or its visibility into demand for its IoT products; (2) Lantronix’s customers were reducing elevated levels of inventory of IoT products, thereby causing a general slowdown in the Company’s business; (3) certain of Lantronix’s embedded IOT revenues expected from a customer design win were delayed to the next fiscal year; (4) as a result of all the foregoing, Lantronix anticipated lower sales for its embedded IOT solutions for fiscal year 2024; (5) accordingly, Lantronix was unlikely to meet its own previously issued guidance for fiscal year 2024; and (6) as a result, the Company’s public statements were materially false and/or misleading at all relevant times.
On February 8, 2024, Lantronix reported its financial results for its second quarter of fiscal 2024 and revised its full-year guidance, stating that “[t]he change in our annual guidance is primarily due to lower expected sales for our embedded IOT solutions as a result of two factors: a general slowdown in our broad-based channel business as customers work through their inventories, and an embedded compute design win in video applications that was slated for revenue in the second half of fiscal 2024 that pushed into fiscal 2025.”
On this news, Lantronix’s stock price fell $1.89 per share, or 32.53%, to close at $3.92 per share on February 9, 2024.
