Robbins LLP is Investigating the Allegations Against Innodata Inc.
Robbins LLP informs investors that a shareholder filed a class action on behalf of all those who purchased or otherwise acquired Innodata Inc. (NASDAQ:INOD) common stock between May 9, 2019 and February 14, 2024. Innodata is a global data engineering company that purports to be “delivering the promise of AI to many of the world’s most prestigious companies.”
The Allegations: According to the complaint, during the class period, defendants failed to disclose that Innodata: (1) did not have a viable AI technology; (2) its Goldengate AI platform is a rudimentary software developed by just a handful of employees; (3) it was not going to utilize AI to any significant degree for new Silicon Valley contracts; and (4) it was not effectively investing in research and development for AI.
Plaintiffs allege that on February 15, 2024, Wolfpack Research published a report revealing that Innodata misrepresented the nature and extent of its business and operations. The Wolfpack Report showed that Innodata’s AI is really “smoke and mirrors” and that the Company’s marketing claims are like “putting lipstick on a pig.” While defendants touted Innodata’s status as an AI pioneer, other companies were only hiring Innodata for cheap labor and its operations were powered by thousands of low-wage offshore workers, not proprietary AI technology. The Company also stopped disclosing its Research and Development (R&D) spend after the first quarter of 2021. The Wolfpack Report highlighted that Innodata’s total investment in R&D over the past five years was only $4.4 million, with even less allocated to R&D in 2023 than what was spent on promoting its “AI” technology through press releases. On this news, the price of Innodata common stock declined by $3.74 per share, or approximately 30.5%, from $12.26 per share on February 14, 2024 to close at $8.52 on February 15, 2024.
