What is the Case About Kornit Digital Ltd.
According to the complaint, during the class period, defendants touted the purported competitive advantages provided by its technology and assured investors that it faced virtually no meaningful competition in the “direct-to-garment” printing market. The Company claimed that its digital printing systems and consumables were in high demand and that Kornit offered services to customers to help them maintain and manage their digital printers and to manage customer workflows.
In truth, Kornit and its senior executives knew or, at a minimum, recklessly disregarded, that the Company’s digital printing business was beset by significant quality control problems and deficient customer service. Kornit fell prey to competitors and lost the competitive advantages it promised investors. Those problems and deficiencies caused Kornit to lose market share to competitors, which led to a decline in the Company’s revenues, as Kornit’s dissatisfied customers sought out alternative options for their digital printing needs. Kornit also failed to disclose the fact that there were already risks to quality and customer service, despite the Company claiming to warn about them.
Kornit released its financial results for the first quarter 2022 on May 11, 2022. The net loss was $5.2 million compared with a profit of $5.1million for the quarter 2021. Kornit also informed investors that it expected lower revenues and profitability for the second quarter in 2022. These disclosures and others caused the Kornit ordinary share price to fall by $18.78 per shared, or 33% to $37.63 per sharing on May 11, 2022.
Kornit then announced preliminary financial results, for the second quarter, on July 5, 2022. The Company stated that it would report significant revenue loss in the quarter. Kornit forecasted that revenue for the second quarter would be between $56.4 million and $59.4 million. That represented a reduction of more than 35% at the midpoint of Kornit’s previous revenue guidance of between $85 million and $95 million that the Company provided less than two months earlier. This news caused the Kornit average share price to fall by $8.10, or 25.7%, and close at $23.46 on July 6, 2022.
