About the Lawsuit

Babcock and certain of its executives are charged with failing to disclose material information during the Class Period, violating federal securities laws. 

The alleged false and misleading statements and omissions include that:  (i) Babcock’s Renewable business had productivity and scheduling issues; (ii) these undisclosed problems decreased profit margins and worsened financial performance; (iii) Babcock’s Renewable business suffered from problematic on-site project management and a lack of resources in engineering and project management groups, which resulted in overly aggressive project bidding, project delays, and engineering errors; and (iv) Babcock lacked adequate project management processes in its Renewable business, which negatively impacted performance on key projects from bidding through execution.
