Spirit AeroSystems Is Accused of Making False and Misleading Statements Regarding the Execution of Its Diversification and Growth Strategy
The complaint charges that during the Class Period, the Spirit AeroSystems issued a series of materially false and misleading statements concerning the company's operations and business. Specifically, the complaint alleges that the company misled investors regarding the company's future cash flows and potential cost overruns and that its financial statements were false and misleading throughout the class period. According to the complaint, those statements were false and/or misleading because the company failed to disclose that: (i) the company was struggling to execute its diversification and growth strategy while expanding its customer-base, manufacturing sites, and product design capabilities; and (ii) the company lacked adequate internal and financial controls, especially with respect to cost overruns on its largest programs.
