Robbins LLP is Investigating Allegations that Luminar Technologies, Inc. (LAZR) Failed to Disclose that its President and CEO was Engaged in Misconduct

Robbins LLP informs stockholders that a class action was filed on behalf of investors who purchased or otherwise acquired Luminar Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: LAZR) securities between March 20, 2025 and May 14, 2025. Luminar purports to be a technology company specializing in advanced LiDAR hardware and software solutions for vehicles.

The Allegations:

According to the complaint, during the class period defendants failed to disclose that: (1) defendant Russell was engaged in undisclosed conduct that would make him the subject of an inquiry by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors; (2) this conduct created material risk that defendant Russell would be released from his positions at the Company; (3) Luminar’s loss of Russell as an employee would then create material risk of adversely affecting the Company’s business by making it more difficult to compete with other market participants, manage R&D activities, and retain existing customers or cultivate new ones. Further, negative public perception and negative news related to defendant Russell could also adversely affect Luminar’s brand, relationships with customers, or standing in the industry; (4) accordingly, Luminar had no reasonable basis to provide and/or maintain the Company’s financial guidance; and (5) as a result, Defendants’ public statements were materially false and/or misleading at all relevant times.

Plaintiff alleges that on May 14, 2025, the Company announced that defendant Russell had resigned as President and CEO of the Company and Chairman of the Board “effective immediately, following a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics inquiry by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors.” On this news, Luminar’s stock price fell $0.80 per share, or 16.80%, to close at $3.96 per share on May 15, 2025.
