Pomerantz LLP has filed a class action lawsuit against Babcock & Wilcox and certain officers, alleging violations of federal securities laws. The lawsuit claims that Babcock & Wilcox made materially false and misleading statements regarding a $2.4 billion power generation contract with Electron, an independent power producer. It is alleged that Babcock & Wilcox's largest shareholder, BRC Group Holdings, had undisclosed ties to Electron, with Bryant R. Riley, Co-CEO and Chairman of BRC Group Holdings, also serving as a director of Electron. Furthermore, it is claimed that Applied Digital, the purported backer of Electron, did not need the products and services from Babcock & Wilcox, raising questions about the contract's legitimacy and revenue recognition. Wolfpack Research published a short report exposing these alleged relationships, causing Babcock & Wilcox's stock price to fall. The class period for the lawsuit is from November 5, 2025, to March 11, 2026, with a lead plaintiff deadline of June 15, 2026. Other law firms, including The Gross Law Firm and Rosen Law Firm, are also encouraging investors to join the class action.
