QuantumScape Corp QS

RADNOR, Pa., Jan. 28, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- The law firm of Kessler Topaz Meltzer & Check, LLP announces that a securities fraud class action lawsuit has been filed against QuantumScape Corporation  ("QuantumScape") on behalf of those who purchased or acquired QuantumScape (NYSE: QS; QS.WS) securities between November 27, 2020 and December 31, 2020, inclusive (the "Class Period").

Lead Plaintiff Deadline:  March 8, 2021

QuantumScape develops and commercializes solid-state lithium-metal batteries for electric vehicles. The complaint alleges that on January 4, 2021, prior to the open of trading, Seeking Alpha published a research report entitled "QuantumScape's Solid State Batteries Have Significant Technical Hurdles To Overcome." The introduction of the Seeking Alpha report emphasized that "QuantumScape's science is very good . . . [b]ut their batteries are small and unproven – not yet as big as an iWatch battery, and never tested outside a lab," adding that "[t]here are significant risks associated with solid state batteries that have not been overcome," and emphasizing that "[t]hey will likely never achieve the performance they claim." Following this news, the market prices of QuantumScape publicly traded securities fell precipitously, with the price of QuantumScape's Class A common stock declining more than 63% from its Class Period high of more than $131 per share on December 22, 2020 to close down at $49.96 per share on January 4, 2021, including a one-day decline of more than $34 per share, or 41%, on January 4, 2021. 

QuantumScape investors may, no later than March 8, 2021, seek to be appointed as a lead plaintiff representative of the class through Kessler Topaz Meltzer & Check, or other counsel, or may choose to do nothing and remain an absent class member.  A lead plaintiff is a representative party who acts on behalf of all class members in directing the litigation.  In order to be appointed as a lead plaintiff, the Court must determine that the class member's claim is typical of the claims of other class members, and that the class member will adequately represent the class.  Your ability to share in any recovery is not affected by the decision of whether or not to serve as a lead plaintiff.
