Robbins LLP is Investigating Allegations that New Fortress Energy Inc. (NFE) Misled Investors Regarding its Growth Projections

Robbins LLP informs investors that a shareholder filed a class action on behalf of all persons and entities who purchased or otherwise acquired New Fortress Energy Inc. (NASDAQ: NFE) securities between February 29, 2024 and August 8, 2024. New Fortress is an American liquefied natural gas (LNG) company.

The Allegations

According to the complaint, during the class period, defendants created the false impression that they possessed reliable information pertaining to the Company’s projected revenue outlook and anticipated growth while also minimizing risk regarding the New Fortress’ plan to have its Fast LNG projects fully operational and increase business growth globally. In reality, New Fortress’ Fast LNG projects failed to meet the Company’s publicly stated progress, specifically that its FLNG 1 would be in service by March 2024. Even following the announcement that these delays were costing the Company upwards of $150 million per quarter, defendants were still touting the speed at which New Fortress was building facilities. Defendants misled investors by providing the public with materially flawed statements of confidence and growth projections throughout the class period, which did not account for these variables. 

On August 9, 2024, New Fortress announced disappointing financial results, which were "entirely the result of the delay in the deployment of our first FLNG 1 asset." On this news, New Fortress’ common stock declined dramatically. From a closing market price of $17.02 per share on August 8, 2024, New Fortress’ stock price fell to $13.00 per share on August 9, 2024.
