The latest market rout follows a series of disclosures that have eroded investor confidence in the firm’s core Energy segment, which historically accounts for roughly 40% of annual revenue. After markets closed on June 22, the company revealed that six ongoing projects are suffering from significant setbacks, forcing a projected 30% decline in renewables revenue—a $900 million shortfall compared to the previous year. This news compounds the damage from a May 5 disclosure, which saw shares plummet 50% after the company reported a massive contraction in gross profits.
Hagens Berman, a litigation firm, is now examining whether management misled shareholders regarding the operational health of these projects. While executives initially blamed isolated issues like difficult soil conditions in February, CEO Koti Vadlamudi later identified broader systemic failures, including project redesigns, sequencing errors, and labor management struggles. Together, these disclosures have erased more than $7.8 billion in market capitalization, prompting the firm to solicit information from investors and potential whistleblowers regarding the true scope of the company’s internal challenges.
