Methode Electronics Inc. Has Been Implicated In A Securities Fraud Class Action Lawsuit – Here's How Investors Can Get More Information

Benzinga

By Meg Flippin, Benzinga Methode Electronics Inc. (NYSE: MEI) is under the spotlight amid a class action lawsuit filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois against the company and former executives for allegedly engaging in securities fraud. The action, Marie Salem v. Methode Electronics Inc., et al., impacts investors who purchased or acquired shares of Methode Electronics between June 23, 2022, and Mar. 6, 2024. Methode is a Chicago-based designer and manufacturer of custom-engineered parts used in transportation, cloud computing infrastructure, construction, consumer appliances and medical devices. Most of its revenue is derived from its automotive segment, which had reportedly been humming along until 2020. With car manufacturers using fewer designs featuring buttons and knobs, favoring display screens and infotainment, Methode shifted its focus. Methode opted to move away from its low-mix but high-margin parts business into specialized components targeted at electric vehicle manufacturers instead of traditional car companies, which appeared to promise to bring higher margins and more sales – but that transition proved to be rocky, and the company allegedly hid its woes from investors, leading to the class action lawsuit. Transition To Speciality Components Rocky According to the lawsuit, during the transition period, the company made materially false and/or misleading statements and failed to disclose material adverse facts about operations and its prospects. The lawsuit points specifically to the company misleading investors or failing to disclose to them the operational, logistics and personnel problems that plagued the transition. What’s more, the lawsuit contends Methode did not disclose setbacks at its Monterrey facility during the transition caused by turnover, poor operational decisions, issues with vendors and supply-chain snafus that led to production planning delays, inventory shortages and what the lawsuit calls “botched” execution of the company’s plan. On top of that, the company incurred increased costs and delayed launches as it attempted to retool the plant to produce the specialty components. All told, the lawsuit states the “company’s business, operations and prospects were materially false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.” The lawsuit explains that this all started showing up in March 2023 when the company’s automotive unit missed sales targets for the third quarter and lowered its full-year 2023 diluted earnings per share guidance, sending the stock down 13% over the course of multiple trading sessions. The bloodletting didn’t stop there, with the company announcing a series of earnings misses in the subsequent quarters which weighed on the stock. Finally, in March 2024 when reporting its third-quarter 2024 results, Methode announced its automotive segment suffered an $11 million loss from operations, prompting it to withdraw its prior guidance citing “operational challenges” at its Monterrey facility. The company told investors its prior guidance should no longer be relied upon. To improve operations, the company announced it was cutting its headcount and discretionary expenses and is unloading non-core assets. On a conference call at the time to discuss results, the company’s new chief executive officer, Avinash Avula, said Methode’s sales for the third quarter were down $21 million year-over-year “entirely [attributable to] our Auto segment.” That drove the stock down about 31%. Here’s How Methode Investors With Losses Can Find Out More Information About Their Rights Kessler Topaz Meltzer & Check, LLP has earned a reputation for prosecuting class actions in state and federal courts throughout the United States and globally. It reports that it has successfully recovered billions of dollars for victims of fraud and other corporate misconduct. The firm is encouraging Methode investors who have suffered significant losses to directly contact it for more information. To potentially qualify as a lead plaintiff in the Methode class action lawsuit, investors must take action no later than October 25, 2024. They can move the court to serve as lead plaintiff either through Kessler Topaz Meltzer & Check, LLP, or other legal counsel. Alternatively, investors can choose to do nothing and remain as absent class members. A lead plaintiff is a representative party who acts on behalf of all class members in the litigation. This individual or small group of investors typically has the largest financial interest and is considered adequate and typical of the proposed class of investors. The lead plaintiff also selects legal counsel to represent both the lead plaintiff and the class. If the court approves these attorneys, they become lead or class counsel. Applying to become a lead plaintiff does not affect an investor's ability to share in any recovery from the lawsuit.

WiSA's Datavault Technology Launches Academic Credential Verification Platform For Universities, Aims To Licence 20-30 To Institutions By 2025

Benzinga

By Kyle Anthony, Benzinga The number of students graduating with either a bachelor’s, master’s or Ph.D. degree continues to increase, with over 2 million students graduating with a bachelor’s degree in 2022 and over 1 million students graduating with either a master’s degree or Ph.D. With more individuals attaining post-secondary education, the importance and need for ‘accreditation validation’ is growing. WISA’s (NASDAQ: WISA) Datavault technology offers a turnkey solution that universities and other stakeholders can utilize to verify academic credentials. Data Vault Holdings, which is under a definitive asset purchase agreement to sell its Datavault® and ADIO® IP and IT assets to WiSA, recently launched VerifyU, a platform developed in collaboration with Arizona State University (ASU) and its Luminosity Lab. VerifyU utilizes blockchain and artificial intelligence to provide secure, real-time academic credential verification. The platform's value proposition is its ability to efficiently verify and confirm the qualifications of individuals to stakeholder entities – such as educational institutions and prospective employers – or professional peer groups, such as research fellows. ASU’s Luminosity Lab, a think tank incubator dedicated to advancing technology and innovation, is VerifyU's inaugural partner. WiSA believes the platform’s focus on secure, efficient credential verification for students and external stakeholders resonates strongly with ASU as an academic institution. Executive Director of the ASU Knowledge Enterprise Mark Naufel stated: "VerifyU sets a new standard for secure, seamless credential verification that meets the essential needs of both educational institutions and employers. Our collaboration with Datavault has created a platform that combines academic institutions with practical, scalable solutions. VerifyU is helping to bring a much welcome change in the way academic credentials are verified by ensuring data integrity, reducing time and lowering costs for all parties involved." The global education verification service market is currently experiencing growth. In 2023, it was valued at $110 billion. By 2030, it is projected to reach $177 billion. This represents a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10% over 2024-2030. Current verification processes are often inefficient and vulnerable to fraud – research suggests that as many as 70% of job applicants provide false information on their resumes. VerifyU seeks to address this issue by offering real-time, secure verification of educational credentials, ultimately reducing both the time and cost associated with traditional verification methods and enhancing the process for employers, graduate schools and other interested parties. In monetizing the platform, Datavault aims to license VerifyU to 20 to 30 educational institutions by 2025, with the aim of revolutionizing the verification of academic qualifications. The initial contract with ASU is just the beginning of a broader rollout and will demonstrate how the platform can generate administrative cost savings and revenue. Additionally, VerifyU plans to charge students a one-time fee for lifetime access to the platform. WiSA’s Datavault promises to transform the landscape of academic credential verification in universities through the launch of VerifyU. By leveraging innovative blockchain and AI technologies, the initiative aims to provide a more reliable and efficient verification process, paving the way for partnerships with multiple educational institutions in the coming years. With the potential to save time and money, VerifyU could be set to become an essential tool for the growing number of graduates seeking employment and higher education opportunities.
