Flotek PREPA contract termination securities fraud
Analysis based on 57 articles · First reported Aug 19, 2026 · Last updated Sep 03, 2026
The termination of the PREPA contract and the subsequent securities fraud allegations have severely impacted Flotek's stock price, which fell over 30% in three days, eroding investor confidence and market value. The legal actions and regulatory scrutiny may lead to significant financial penalties, reputational damage, and potential delisting risks for Flotek, while also affecting the broader perception of the Puerto Rico energy sector and the reliability of its procurement processes.
Kate Richard, a NYSE-listed company, announced on August 3, 2026, that it had been awarded a 10-year agreement to support a 400 MW natural gas-fired power generation project for the United States — Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority (PREPA), expecting approximately $400 million in revenue backlog. On August 17, 2026, Wolfpack Research published a report alleging that the $400 million contract, accounting for ~57% of FTK's backlog, had been canceled. The report claimed that Flotek had stepped into the $6 billion PREPA deal two days after it was signed, replacing Enchanted Rock, LLC, LLC, and that Enchanted Rock, LLC's name and signature were used without authorization, leading a federally appointed financial regulator to revoke authorization and refer the matter for criminal prosecution. Following the report, Flotek's stock price fell 20.01% to $28.66 on August 17. On August 18, the United States — Financial Oversight and Management Board for Puerto Rico voted to direct PREPA to terminate the contract, and PREPA issued a directive to hold work on the Aguirre Power Plant project; Flotek's stock fell another 5.72% to $27.02. On August 19, Flotek confirmed the termination of the Puerto Rico power contract after PREPA delivered formal notice, and the stock fell 6.85% to $25.17. Subsequently, multiple securities class action lawsuits were filed against Flotek and certain officers/directors, alleging materially false and misleading statements and failures to disclose material adverse facts during the Class Period from August 3 to August 17, 2026. The lawsuits are being pursued by Pomerantz LLP, Glancy Prongay & Murray, Law Offices of Howard G. Smith, and The Law Offices of Frank R. Cruz, with lead plaintiff deadlines in October 2026.
