("ACM" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: ACMR) and certain of its officers. The class action, filed in United States District Court for the Northern District of California, and docketed under 20-cv-09241, is on behalf of a class consisting of all persons and entities other than Defendants that purchased or otherwise acquired ACM securities between March 6, 2019 and October 7, 2020, inclusive (the "Class Period").

ACM, together with its subsidiaries, develops, manufactures, and sells single-wafer wet cleaning equipment for enhancing the manufacturing process and yield for integrated chips worldwide. The Company markets and sells its products under the Ultra C brand name through a direct sales force and third-party representatives.
The Complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and misleading statements, and failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company's business, operational, and compliance policies. Specifically, Defendants made false and/or misleading statements and failed to disclose to investors that: (i) the Company's revenue and profits had been diverted to undisclosed related parties; (ii) accordingly, the Company had materially overstated its revenues and profits; and (iii) as a result, the Company's public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.
On October 8, 2020, analyst J Capital Research ("J Capital") published a report concerning ACM, in which J Capital concluded that ACM "is a fraud, over-reporting both revenue and profit." The report cited, among other things, J Capital's visits to "sites in China, Korea, and California" and "more than 40 interviews." J Capital asserted that "[w]hat real profit the company has is apparently being siphoned off to related parties." The J Capital report concluded that ACM's revenue was overstated by 15-20% and claimed to have "evidence that undisclosed related parties are diverting revenue and profit from the company."
On this news, ACM's stock price fell $1.09 per share, or 1.52%, to close at $70.79 per share on October 8, 2020.
