What is this Case About: FMC Corporation (FMC) Misled Investors Regarding Patent Protection for its Flagship Products

According to the complaint, during the class period, defendants failed to disclose to investors that: (1) the diminishment of patent protection for FMC’s flagship products following legal defeats in key markets including India, China, and Brazil had opened the door to increased competition from generics; (2) the Company repeatedly mislead investors about the status of such proceedings and falsely claimed that it did not and would not face generic competition in key markets until 2026 at the earliest; and (3) because of these issues Defendant’s positive statements about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.

The complaint alleges that on September 7, 2023, a report by Blue Orca Capital concluded that FMC and its executives repeatedly made false claims that legal victories ensured diamide patent protection for years to come, when, in fact, FMC’s legal losses resulted in a loss of patent protection for its flagship products and cleared the way for generic competition. In short, Defendants repeatedly falsely reassured investors that FMC had not gone over the patent cliff while, in truth, the Company was already in free fall. On this news, the Company's share price dropped over 7.4% to close at $76.10, representing approximately $630 million in investor losses.

Then, on October 23, 2023, FMC announced it was cutting its Q3, 2023 outlook and guidance for revenues for Q4 and FY 2024, projecting earnings well below the expectations of analysts, citing substantially lower sales volumes in Latin America, particularly Brazil. On this news, FMC’s stock price fell $8.83 per share, or 12.18%, to close at $58.12 per share on October 23, 2023.
