According to the Complaint, the Company made false and misleading statements to the market. Sogou was the subject of investigations by Chinese authorities based in part on the prevalence of counterfeit merchandise sold on the Company’s platform. At the same time, the Company’s cost of revenues was soaring due to massive increases in the cost of traffic acquisition. Sogou planned to alter its strategy to push AI as a competitive advantage, which led the Company to plan to phase out hardware products that were not AI-enabled. This transition would contribute to lower hardware revenues in the second half of 2018. Based on these facts, the Company public statements and IPO materials were false and materially misleading throughout the IPO period. When the market learned the truth about Sogou, investors suffered damages.
