SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 07, 2016 -- Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro LLP reminds investors in SunPower Corporation (NASDAQ:SPWR) of the October 17, 2016 Lead Plaintiff deadline in the securities class action lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California.

On August 9, 2016, SunPower abruptly reduced its fiscal year 2016 net income guidance of up to $50 million to a loss of between $125 million and $175 million. SunPower’s share price plummeted nearly 30% on August 10, 2016 in response.
The same day, an earnings analyst asked SunPower CEO Tom Werner when Company executives knew about the problems underlying the guidance reduction and Werner answered in part, “market developments in our case…materialized in May and beyond.”
Two SunPower directors resigned on September 15, 2016 and shortly thereafter the Company’s Senior VP, Corporate Controller and Chief Accounting Officer communicated his intention to leave the Company in October.
“We continue to investigate reasons underlying SunPower’s abrupt reversal from the May 2016 net income guidance to the current August 2016 net loss guidance, including when in May Werner knew about the adverse developments,” said Hagens Berman partner Reed Kathrein.
