This class action seeks to recover damages against Defendants for alleged violations of the federal securities laws under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
The complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) that the Company experienced customer enrollment and nonpayment issues; (2) that, as a result, the Company was reasonably likely to incur an impairment charge to its accounts receivable; (3) that, as a result, the Company lacked adequate internal control over its financial reporting; and (4) that, as a result of the foregoing, Defendants' positive statements about the Company's business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.
On July 23, 2019, Just Energy disclosed that it had "identified customer enrollment and non-payment issues, primarily in Texas, over the past 12 months" and consequently expected an impairment charge of CAD $45 to $50 million to its Texas residential accounts receivable. On this news, Just Energy's stock price fell $0.66 per share, or 15.07%, to close at $3.72 per share on July 23, 2019.
