Nikola Corporation (NKLA) Accused of Misleading Shareholders

According to the complaint, during the class period, Trevor Milton, chairman and founder, repeatedly falsely touted the strength of Nikola's financial, technological, and operational profile. On September 10, 2020, Hindenburg Research published a report entitled “Nikola: How to Parlay an Ocean of Lies into a Partnership with the Largest Auto OEM in America.” Hindenburg alleged that Milton had misled partners into signing agreements by falsely claiming to have extensive proprietary technology. Among other things, the report claimed that Milton had staged a video of Nikola’s semi-truck cruising down a road by filming the truck rolling down a hill and that, despite claiming Nikola designs all key components in house, the Company appears to simply be buying or licensing them from third-parties. On this news, Nikola's stock dropped 11.33% to close at $37.57. Shortly thereafter, the Securities Exchange Commission and Department of Justice announced investigations against Nikola. On this news, the stock dropped to close at $32.83 on September 15, 2020.

If you purchased shares of Nikola Corporation (NKLA) between June 4, 2020 and September 9, 2020, you have until November 16, 2020, to ask the court to appoint you lead plaintiff.
