NEWARK, NJ – A class action lawsuit has been filed against Red Cat Holdings, Inc. (NasdaqCM: RCAT) over allegations of securities fraud, prompting reminders for investors regarding their ability to participate in the lawsuit. Investors who purchased Red Cat securities between March 18, 2022, and January 15, 2025 are eligible to apply to serve as lead plaintiffs in this case. The deadline for these applications is set for July 22, 2025.

The lawsuit, which is currently pending in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey, revolves around accusations that Red Cat Holdings failed to disclose significant information related to the company’s operations and financial condition during the defined class period. A key trigger for the lawsuit was a report from Kerrisdale Capital on January 16, 2025, which suggested that Red Cat had overstated the value of its Short Range Reconnaissance Program (SRR) Contract, estimated to be worth between $20 million and $25 million according to U.S. Army budget documents.

As the case unfolded, serious allegations arose regarding misleading statements made by Red Cat concerning the production capabilities of its Salt Lake City Facility. Following the Kerrisdale report on January 17, 2025, Red Cat’s share price dropped sharply by $2.35, which amounted to a 21.54% decline, closing at $8.56 per share.

Recent Developments

Investors have voiced concerns about significant stock price declines associated with Red Cat’s disclosures. For instance, after revealing production limitations at its Salt Lake City facility on July 27, 2023, the company saw a nearly 9% drop in stock prices. Furthermore, on September 23, 2024, Red Cat announced a loss of $0.17 per share for the first quarter of 2025, which disappointed investors and led to a 25.32% decrease in the stock price over a two-day span.

Class Action Suit Details

Investors who believe they have suffered losses due to these alleged misrepresentations are encouraged to participate in the class action. Kahn Swick & Foti, LLC (KSF) and former Louisiana Attorney General Charles C. Foti, Jr. are currently leading the charge on this lawsuit. They emphasized that investors seeking to serve as lead plaintiffs must submit their petitions to the Court by the July 22 deadline. The firm is also providing information to investors at no obligation or cost.

Other law firms, including Block & Leviton and Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd LLP, are also addressing similar claims pertaining to Red Cat Holdings, indicating a growing amount of scrutiny regarding the company’s operations and its transparency with investors.

Background Context

Red Cat Holdings has faced increased challenges in the market, leading to growing concerns over its financial health.
