Spire Global, Inc. shareholders recently filed a lawsuit against the satellite data and analytics company when Spire’s sky-high projections ended in a financial crash-landing. After Spire’s executives revealed that the Company was using dodgy data and analytics to make financial projections, Spire’s shares plummeted 33% overnight, causing heavy losses for shareholders.
According to the recently filed lawsuit, throughout much of 2024, Spire’s executives communicated to investors and analysts that the Company’s revenue and profits were improving. Executives also told investors they expected continued growth throughout 2024 from a number of contracts and projects Spire had won.
In August 2024, investors learned the truth when the Company issued a press release updating its financial projections. Investors and analysts were horrified to learn that the over-the-moon projections were, in reality, due to unusual accounting practices and other mismanagement. Investors quickly dumped the stock, causing its price to crash.
Those shareholders are now suing Spire in hopes of recouping some of their losses.
