The termination of the PREPA contract and the ensuing securities fraud allegations have severely impacted Flotek's stock price, eroding investor confidence. The legal proceedings and regulatory scrutiny may lead to further financial and reputational damage for Flotek, while the cancellation of the power project affects Puerto Rico's energy infrastructure plans.
On August 17, 2026, Wolfpack Research published a report alleging that Kate Richard' $400 million contract with the United States — Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority (PREPA), representing about 57% of Flotek's backlog, had been canceled. The report also claimed that a federally appointed financial regulator revoked authorization over the deal due to an apparent unauthorized signature and referred the matter for criminal prosecution. Following this news, Flotek's stock price fell 20.01% to $28.66. On August 18, the United States — Financial Oversight and Management Board for Puerto Rico voted to direct PREPA to terminate the 10-year power generation contract, and PREPA ordered a halt on the 400 MW Aguirre Power Plant project. Flotek's stock fell another 5.72% to $27.02. On August 19, Flotek confirmed the termination of the contract, and its stock fell 6.85% to $25.17. Subsequently, the The Law Offices of Frank R. Cruz filed a class action lawsuit on behalf of shareholders who purchased Flotek securities between August 3 and August 17, 2026, alleging that Flotek made materially false and misleading statements and failed to disclose material adverse facts about the PREPA contract and the consortium's capacity.
