On February 16, 2021, Spruce Point Capital Management LLC published a research report alleging that "Leidos is potentially covering up at least $100m of fictitious sales, mischaracterizing $355-367m of international revenue." The report set forth additional allegations that the Company was "concealing numerous product defects from investors, notably faulty explosive detection systems at airports and borders."

On this news, Leidos Holdings' stock price fell $2.58 per share, or 2.4%, to close at $105.22 per share on February 16, 2021 on usually high trading volume.

On February 23, 2021, Leidos Holding issued a press release announcing its fourth quarter and full year 2020 financial results. The Company reported $89 million in revenue related to the SD&A businesses for the fourth quarter, which meant that after two full quarters, the acquisition only generate $163 million in sales, falling short of projected $500 million sales. The Company expected cash flow of $850 million, well below analyst estimates of $1.083 billion.

On this news, Leidos Holdings' stock price fell $10.29 per share, or 9.91%, to close at $93.51 per share on February 23, 2021.

The complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company's business, operations, and prospects. Defendants failed to disclose: (1) that the purported benefits of the Company's acquisition of L3Harris' Security Detection & Automation businesses were significantly overstated; (2) that Leidos Holdings' products suffered from numerous product defects, including fault explosive detection systems at airports, ports, and borders; (3) that, as a result of the foregoing, Defendants' positive statements about the Company's business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.

If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than May 3, 2021. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation. Your ability to share in any recovery doesn't require that you serve as lead plaintiff. If you choose to take no action, you may remain an absent class member.
