The Allegations: Robbins LLP is Investigating Allegations that NET Power Inc. (NPWR) Misled Investors Regarding the Time and Capital Necessary to Complete Project Permian
According to the complaint, during the class period, defendants failed to disclose that: (i) NET Power was unlikely to complete Project Permian on schedule, and the project was likely to be significantly more expensive than defendants had represented, because of, inter alia, supply chain issues and numerous site- and region-specific challenges; (ii) accordingly, defendants’ projections regarding the time and capital needed to complete Project Permian were unrealistic; and (iii) the increased time and capital needed to complete Project Permian were likely to have a significant negative impact on the Company’s business and financial results.
Plaintiff alleges that on November 14, 2023, NET Power announced its third quarter 2023 results, disclosing that “[d]ue to . . . tightness in the global supply chain, we are incorporating a 12-month cushion into our expected schedule for Project Permian” with defendants “now expecting to achieve initial power generation sometime between the second half of 2027 and first half of 2028.” On this news, NET Power’s stock fell over 18%, to close at $10.85 per share on November 14, 2023.
Plaintiff further alleges that on March 10, 2025, NET Power announce its fourth quarter and full year 2024 results, disclosing that it “now estimates Project Permian’s total installed cost to be between $1.7 billion and $2.0 billion”—significantly higher than its last estimate of $1.1 billion—“which is inclusive of non-recurring first-of-a-kind, Project Permian site-specific and owner costs[,]” advising that “there are a number of site- and region-specific challenges which impact cost.” The Company further advised that Project Permian “would come online no earlier than 2029[,]” representing a significant delay from its prior timeline of sometime between the second half of 2027 and first half of 2028. In addition, Net Power reported that it ended 2024 “with $533 million in cash, cash equivalents, and investments, down from $580 million last quarter, primarily due to $13 million in operating cash outflows and $29 million in capital expenditures for La Porte upgrades and SNI development.” On this news, NET Power’s stock price fell over 31%, to close at $4.75 per share on March 10, 2025.
