The complaint filed by Schall, Brown & Schwartz LLP alleges that Cogent issued false and misleading statements to the market between February 29, 2024, and May 1, 2026. According to the filing, the company’s reported backlog of orders for optical wavelength products lacked genuine revenue potential, as customers were reportedly unwilling to accept deliveries. These discrepancies suggest the company was not on track to meet its stated revenue targets and performance goals.
