Aterian, Inc. (NASDAQ: ATER) Securities Fraud Class Action:
The complaint alleges that Aterian falsely touted its core business, recent acquisitions, and the functionality of AIMEE – the company's purported artificial intelligence platform that allows users to manage products on online marketplaces.
In reality, (1) Aterian's organic growth is plummeting, (2) its self-lauded acquisitions were overpayments for flawed assets from questionable sources, (3) its AIMEE is flawed and lacks customer interest, and (4) it uses rebates and pays for artificial reviews to pump up product offerings.
The truth emerged on May 4, 2021, when analyst Culper Research published a scathing report entitled "Aterian (ATER): Bought from Felons & Fraudsters, Sold to You." Among other things, Culper accuses the company of having ties to convicted criminals, overhyping its AIMEE platform, and using "garbage acquisitions" to conceal its "ill-conceived core business."
This news drove the price of Aterian shares crashing sharply lower on May 4, 2021.
"We're focused on investors' losses and proving Aterian misled investors about its acquisitions and the AIMEE platform," said Reed Kathrein, the Hagens Berman partner leading the investigation.
