Event Summary

Robbins LLP has filed a class action lawsuit against AeroVironment, Inc. on behalf of investors who purchased securities between June 25, 2025, and March 10, 2026. The lawsuit alleges that AeroVironment misled investors regarding the viability and profitability of its involvement in the Satellite Communication Augmentation Resource (SCAR) program, which it acquired through BlueHalo. AeroVironment had assured investors of significant revenue growth from the SCAR program. However, the United States issued a stop work order on January 20, 2026, and subsequently terminated the contract on March 10, 2026. This led to a $151.3 million goodwill impairment in AeroVironment's space division and substantial declines in its stock price, falling over 15% on January 20, 2026, and an additional 6.24% on March 11, 2026.
