POET Technologies: A $400 Million Cash Injection Meets a Class-Action Countdown
13.06.2026 - 15:44:16 | boerse-global.de
The stock closed Friday with a near?12% surge to €10.88, but the relief in the share price does little to quiet the legal noise surrounding POET Technologies. Three U.S. law firms – Bragar Eagel & Squire, Faruqi & Faruqi, and The Gross Law Firm – each issued separate reminders of an ongoing class?action lawsuit that now has a hard deadline: June 29. That date marks the last opportunity for affected shareholders to apply to become lead plaintiff in the case, a role that grants oversight of the litigation on behalf of all claimants.
The suit stems from a brutal sell?off on April 27, when POET disclosed that Celestial AI, now part of Marvell Semiconductor, had canceled all outstanding orders. Marvell cited alleged breaches of confidentiality in the way POET shared order and shipment information. The stock plummeted more than 45% in a single session. Plaintiffs argue that management made false or misleading statements about the company’s status as a Passive Foreign Investment Company under U.S. tax rules, as well as about the public portrayal of business agreements. The class period covers purchases made between April 1 and April 27, 2026. POET has denied the allegations and, in a separate move, plans to relocate its headquarters to the United States, a step that would remove the contested tax classification entirely.
Away from the courtroom, the company is pressing ahead with an aggressive commercial agenda. In May, Lumilens placed an initial order for EOI?based photonic engines valued at $50 million, with the potential for the supply relationship to exceed $500 million over five years. To fund the production ramp?up, POET completed a capital raise that grossed approximately $400 million, all provided by a single institutional investor. The proceeds are earmarked for expanding manufacturing capacity, research, and general operations.
Should investors sell immediately? Or is it worth buying POET Technologies?
The numbers paint a picture of a business still in its early revenue stage. Quarterly sales climbed to just over half a million dollars, but the bottom line showed a net loss of $12.3 million. Despite Friday’s bounce, the stock remains 42% below its 52?week high of €18.84 set on May 15. On a 30?day basis, the shares have lost 11.4%, and the annualized volatility over that period stands at a staggering 213%. The relative strength index of 50.6 suggests the stock is neither overbought nor oversold.
Investors are now watching two parallel tracks. One is the legal process, where the June 29 lead?plaintiff decision will set the stage for the proceedings. The other is the operational story, where the $400 million war chest and the Lumilens deal offer a tangible path toward scaling production for the AI infrastructure market. If the legal cloud clears sooner rather than later, the commercial narrative could regain center stage.
