On March 24, 2025, SHERIFF WILLIAM M, the director and Executive Chairman of enCore, purchased 35,000 shares of the company's common stock at approximately $1.66 per share. This transaction increased his total holdings to 2,270,055 shares. This move comes amid a turbulent time for enCore, as the company faces a securities class action lawsuit.
The lawsuit, titled Zhongjian v. enCore Energy Corp., follows a significant 46% drop in enCore's stock price on March 3, 2025. This decline was triggered by concerning disclosures about the company's financial reporting and leadership changes. The investor rights firm Hagens Berman is investigating these claims, with a lead plaintiff application deadline set for May 13, 2025.
Levi & Korsinsky, LLP has also notified investors about the class action lawsuit, which alleges securities fraud between March 28, 2024, and March 2, 2025. The complaint accuses enCore of making false statements and failing to disclose critical information, leading to increased net losses. Investors have until May 13, 2025, to act as lead plaintiffs.
Pomerantz LLP has filed a similar lawsuit against enCore, alleging securities fraud and other unlawful practices. This legal action follows enCore's fiscal 2024 financial results announcement on March 3, 2025. The current stock price of EU is $1.63, with a market capitalization of approximately $303.6 million, reflecting the company's ongoing challenges.
