NEW YORK, Sept. 15, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SueWallSt notifies investors in FuelCell Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ: FCEL) that a securities class action naming Chief Executive Officer Jason B.

FCEL closed at $14.40 on September 2, 2026, a one-day decline of $2.68 per share, or 15.69%, after the Company reported a $17.0 million charge tied to Phase 0 of the Fit Energy capital equipment purchase agreement and a fiscal third quarter net loss of $45.3 million. Shares had closed as high as $36.01 on June 30, 2026. The window to apply for lead plaintiff closes on November 10, 2026.
The Named Individual Defendants
Few served as President and Chief Executive Officer at all relevant times, and Bishop served as Chief Financial Officer at all relevant times. The complaint charges that both officers possessed the power and authority to control the contents of the Company's SEC reports, press releases, and presentations to analysts and institutional investors, received those materials before or shortly after issuance, and had the opportunity to prevent or correct them.
As alleged, the officers “possessed the power and authority to control the contents of the Company’s reports to the SEC, press releases and presentations to … the market.” The lawsuit asserts that positive statements about FuelCell's business, operations, and prospects lacked a reasonable basis because the Company’s capacity was allegedly inadequate to generate the production rate required under the Fit Energy agreement, and because higher product costs and manufacturing overhead were allegedly a known trend affecting profitability.
Alleged Control Person Liability
- Alleged control over the content of SEC filings, press releases, and communications with the investing public during the Class Period
- Alleged access to internal budgets, plans, projections, and production reporting
- Alleged ability and opportunity to prevent or correct statements claimed to be materially misleading
- Section 20(a) claims seeking to hold each officer accountable for the Company's alleged primary violations of Section 10(b) and Rule 10b-5
"Corporate officers have a duty to ensure their companies' public statements are accurate and complete, and the complaint alleges that did not happen here when a $17.0 million charge tied to the Fit Energy agreement surfaced only at quarter end. Shareholders are entitled to have those allegations tested." -- Joseph E. Levi, Esq.
