Spire Global, Inc. Faces Class Action Suit Over Financial Disclosures
Spire Global, Inc. Faces Class Action Lawsuit
The law firm Kirby McInerney LLP has announced a class action lawsuit filed against Spire Global, Inc. on behalf of investors. This lawsuit is focused on the allegations surrounding the company's failure to disclose significant information regarding their financial practices. The case has been initiated in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, representing individuals who acquired Spire securities during the class period from early March to mid-August of 2024.
Background on Spire's Financial Reporting
On August 14, 2024, Spire made a public announcement indicating that it would be unable to file its second-quarter financial report on time. This delay was attributed to an internal review of its accounting practices and procedures with respect to revenue recognition tied to certain contracts within its Space as a Service business.
Impacted Financial Metrics
The company identified that contracts requiring re-evaluation had previously led to recognized revenues between $10 to $15 million on an annual basis. This admission also suggested that additional financial measurements, such as gross profit, may be affected as well. Following this news, Spire's stock price experienced a significant decline, dropping $3.41 per share, roughly 33.5%, from $10.16 to $6.75 in just one day.
Allegations Against Spire Global
The class action alleges that Spire failed to disclose critical facts to investors, including the existence of embedded leases and deficiencies in internal controls regarding revenue recognition on certain Space Services contracts. This lack of transparency may have misled investors regarding the company’s true financial health.

The window to apply for lead plaintiff status in this class action is open until late October 2024.
