According to the Complaint, NuScale Power Corporation was founded in 2007 with the mission to “improve the quality of life for humankind by advancing nuclear power.”

On October 19, 2023, Iceberg Research issued a research report that contradicted NuScale’s claims that it could fulfill two large contracts: (1) a contract with the Utah Associated Municipal Power Systems (“UAMPS”) for its Carbon Free Power Project (“CFPP”), and (2) a contract with Standard Power, a company providing data center services for businesses focusing on blockchain mining and high performance computing applications.

The Complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements and failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, the Complaint alleges that Defendants misled investors by failing to disclose that (1) due to the impact of inflationary pressures on the cost of construction and power, the Company and UAMPS would be unable to sign up enough subscribers to fulfill the CFPP; (2) Standard Power did not have the financial ability to support its agreement with NuScale; and (3) as a result, Defendants’ positive statements about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.

On January 31, 2024, the Court issued an Order consolidating cases. All future docketing was ordered to be done in the lead case 23-CV-01689. On February 22, the Court issued an Order appointing Lead Plaintiff and Counsel.

Lead Plaintiff filed an amended Complaint on April 18, 2024. Lead Plaintiff filed a second amended Complaint on September 20.
