On December 22, 2023, the United States Department of Justice issued a press release announcing, in relevant part, that Cummins had reached an agreement in principle with the United States and State of California “to pay a $1.675 billion penalty to settle claims that it violated the Clean Air Act by installing emissions defeat devices on hundreds of thousands of engines.” On this news, the price of Cummins shares declined by $7.01 per share, or approximately 2.87%, from $244.00 per share to close at $236.99 on December 22, 2023.

According to the lawsuit, defendants throughout the Class Period made materially false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Contrary to its post-April 2019 Announcement assurances about its commitment to compliance, Cummins continued to produce engines with unlawful emission defeating devices from 2019 to 2023; (2) accordingly, Cummins understated its legal and regulatory risk, and overstated its commitment to environmental protection; and (3) as a result, Defendants' statements about its business, operations, and prospects, were materially false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.
