Gainey McKenna & Egleston Announces A Class Action Lawsuit Has Been Filed Quantum Computing Inc. (QUBT)

NEW YORK, April 01, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Gainey McKenna & Egleston announces that a securities class action lawsuit has been filed in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey on behalf of all persons or entities who purchased or otherwise acquired Quantum Computing Inc. (“Quantum Computing” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: QUBT) securities between March 30, 2020 and January 15, 2025, inclusive (the “Class Period”).

The Complaint alleges that Defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) defendants overstated the capabilities of Quantum Computing’s quantum computing technologies, products, and/or services; (ii) defendants overstated the scope and nature of Quantum Computing’s relationship with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (“NASA”), as well as the scope and nature of Quantum Computing’s NASA-related contracts and/or subcontracts; (iii) defendants overstated Quantum Computing’s progress in developing a thin film lithium niobate (“TFLN”) foundry, the scale of the purported TFLN foundry, and orders for Quantum Computing’s TFLN chips; (iv) Quantum Computing’s business dealings with Quad M Solutions, Inc. and millionways, Inc. both qualified as related party transactions; (v) accordingly, Quantum Computing’s revenues relied, at least in part, on undisclosed related party transactions; and (vi) all the above, once revealed, was likely to have a significant negative impact on Quantum Computing’s business and reputation.

The Complaint further alleges that on December 9, 2024, Iceberg Research published a report alleging, among other things, that Quantum Computing “ha[d] shared photos online of what it claims to be its foundry,” “this setup looks more like a laboratory,” and “is a far cry from a foundry ready for ‘mass production’ on what [Quantum Computing] said would be ‘five acres within the extensive 320-acre research park hosted by ASU.’” On this news, the price of Quantum Computing stock fell nearly 6%.

Then, on January 16, 2025, Capybara Research published a report alleging, among other things, that Quantum Computing “is a rampant fraud”; that, “[f]rom inception, [Quantum Computing] has defrauded investors by fabricating revenue, misrepresenting their products, and issuing a steady stream of false press releases”; and that “[t]o conceal their fraud, [Quantum Computing] even included a clause in employee separation agreements prohibiting them from talking to the SEC.” On this news, the price of Quantum Computing stock fell nearly 15% over two trading sessions.

Investors who purchased or otherwise acquired shares of Quantum Computing should contact the Firm prior to the April 16, 2025 lead plaintiff motion deadline. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation. If you wish to discuss your rights or interests regarding this class action, please contact Thomas J. McKenna, Esq. or Gregory M.

Gainey McKenna & Egleston Announces A Class Action Lawsuit Has Been Filed Against Skyworks Solutions, Inc. (SWKS)

NEW YORK, April 01, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Gainey McKenna & Egleston announces that a securities class action lawsuit has been filed in the United States District Court for the Central District of California on behalf of all persons or entities who purchased the securities of Skyworks Solutions, Inc. (“Skyworks” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: SWKS) between July 30, 2024 and February 5, 2025, both dates inclusive (the “Class Period”).

The Complaint alleges that Defendants throughout the Class Period made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects. The Complaint alleges that 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 from smartphone upgrade cycles and macroeconomic fluctuations. The Complaint further alleges that in truth, Skyworks’ optimistic reports of growth, earnings potential, and anticipated margins fell short of reality as they relied far too heavily on the Company’s partnership with its largest customer and launch of that customer’s newest phone. The Complaint alleges that Skyworks was simply not equipped to execute on their perceived growth potential.

According to the Complaint, on February 5, 2025, after market close, Skyworks issued a press release announcing the results of its first quarter fiscal year 2025, which included guidance for the second quarter 2025. The Complaint further alleges that aforementioned press releases and statements made by the Individual Defendants are in direct contrast to statements they made during the July 30 and November 12, 2024 earnings and shareholder calls. The Complaint alleges that on those calls, Defendants continually praised their alleged growth, foreseeing growth in the Company’s mobile business segment and touting an increase in technology investments and diversification, such as Skyworks’ position in AI in the smartphone cycle, while continually minimizing the risks associated with Skyworks’ dependence on its partnerships with customers. The Complaint alleges that in particular, Skyworks failed to provide adequate warnings to investors regarding the Company’s dependence on its largest customer, including the impact on the Company when this customer did not launch its newest phone with Skyworks, as well as those associated with seasonality and the potential impact of the macroeconomic environment on the Company’s profitability for years to come.

The Complaint alleges that, investors and analysts reacted immediately to Skyworks’ revelation. The Complaint further alleges that the price of Skyworks’ common stock declined dramatically from a closing market price of $87.08 per share on February 5, 2025, Skyworks’ stock price fell to $65.60 per share on February 6, 2025, a decline of over 24% in the span of just a single day.

Investors who purchased or otherwise acquired shares of Skyworks should contact the Firm prior to the May 5, 2025 lead plaintiff motion deadline. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.  If you wish to discuss your rights or interests regarding this class action, please contact Thomas J. McKenna, Esq. or Gregory M. Egleston, Esq. of Gainey McKenna & Egleston at (212) 983-1300, or via e-mail at [email protected] or [email protected].

COSCIENS Biopharma Inc. Announces Receipt of Management Cease Trade Order

TORONTO, ONTARIO, April 01, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — COSCIENS Biopharma Inc. (NASDAQ: CSCI) (TSX: CSCI) (“COSCIENS” or the “Company”), a life science company which develops and commercializes a diversified portfolio of cosmeceutical, nutraceutical and pharmaceutical products, today announces further to its news release of March 19, 2025 (the “Default Announcement”) that its application to the Ontario Securities Commission (the “OSC”) for a management cease trade order (“MCTO”), in accordance with National Policy 12-203 – Management Cease Trade Orders (“NP 12-203”), has been accepted by the OSC.

The MCTO was issued by the OSC, effective as of April 1, 2025, in connection with the Company’s potential delay in its filing of: (a) its annual financial statements as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 and for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, and its related management’s discussion and analysis (collectively, the “Financial Statements”); (b) the CEO and CFO certificates relating to the Financial Statements; and (c) the Company’s annual information form (in the form of an annual report on Form 20-F) (collectively, the “Required Filings”) beyond the prescribed filing deadline, being March 31, 2025 (the “Required Deadline”).

The Company confirms that it was unable to file the Required Filings by the Required Deadline for the reasons described in the Default Announcement. However, the Company continues to work diligently with its auditors to complete the Required Filings as soon as practicable, and expects to file the Required Filings as soon as they are available and by April 7, 2025.

The Company will issue a news release once the Required Filings have been filed. Until the Company files the Required Filings, it will comply with the alternative information guidelines set out in NP 12-203, including the issuance of bi-weekly default status reports in the form of news releases (which will be filed on SEDAR+) for so long as it remains in default of its obligation to file the Required Filings.

The MCTO restricts all trading in and all acquisitions of securities of the Company, whether direct or indirect, by its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer until such time as the Required Filings have been filed by the Company and the MCTO has been revoked. The MCTO does not affect the ability of shareholders who are not insiders of the Company to trade their securities.

The MCTO and delay in filing will have no immediate effect on the listing of the Company’s common shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market. The Company plans to file its Form 20-F as soon as practicable; however, no assurance can be given as to the definitive date on which such report will be filed.

The Company confirms as of the date of this news release that there has been no material change in the information contained in the Default Announcement, and that there is no other material information concerning the affairs of the Company that has not been generally disclosed.
