NEW YORK, May 27, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Scott+Scott Attorneys at Law LLP (“Scott+Scott”), an international shareholder and consumer rights litigation firm, announces the filing of a class action lawsuit against Canaan, Inc. (“Canaan” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: CAN) and certain of its officers, alleging violations of federal securities laws. If you purchased Canaan American Depository Receipts (“ADRs”) between February 10, 2021 and April 9, 2021 (the “Class Period”), and have suffered a loss, you are encouraged to contact Joseph Pettigrew for additional information at (844) 818-6982 or jpettigrew@scott-scott.com.
Canaan designs, manufactures, and sells bitcoin mining machines, primarily in the People’s Republic of China.
The lawsuit alleges, among other things, that the Company made materially false and/or misleading statements because the Company had touted its sales prospects throughout the Class Period, but then revealed to investors, before the markets opened on Monday, April 12, 2021, that its fourth quarter 2020 (“4Q20”) sales had declined more than 93% year-over-year and more than 93% from the third quarter 2020 (“3Q20”). As a result, Canaan’s 4Q20 total net revenues had decreased to RMB38.2 million (U.S. $5.9 million) from RMB463.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2019 and from RMB163.0 million in 3Q20.
On this news, the market price of Canaan ADRs fell $5.53, or 29.6%, to close at $13.14 per ADR on April 12, 2021, down from its close of $18.67 per ADR on the previous trading day, April 9, 2021.
