According to the lawsuit, defendants throughout the Class Period made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Astec’s wood pellet plants suffered from significant and costly problems that prevented the plants from running at their promised production capacity; (2) this posed a threat to Astec’s pellet plant business, overall financial performance, and financial outlook; and (3) as a result, defendants’ statements regarding Astec’s outlook and expected financial performance were materially false and misleading at all relevant times. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than April 2, 2019.
