According to the complaint the plaintiff alleges on behalf of purchasers of Uranium Energy Corp (NYSEMKT: UEC) common shares between October 14, 2014 and June 17, 2015, that the defendants violated Federal Securities Laws. More specifically, the plaintiff claims that between October 14, 2014 and June 17, 2015, defendants made allegedly false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that Uranium Energy Corp stock achieved an unsustainable valuation by using paid stock promoters, yet failed to disclose the use of such promoters in its regulatory filings pursuant to Section 17(b) of the Securities Act of 1933, and that as a result of the foregoing, Uranium Energy Corp’s public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.
Shares of Uranium Energy Corp (NYSEMKT: UEC) grew from $1.17 per share on January 20, 2015 to as high as $2.99 per share on May 29, 2015.
Then on June 18, 2015, an article was published that alleged, among other items, that Uranium Energy Corp. reports zero sales in the past seven quarters from its sole producer, the Palangana Mine, and that after selling almost all of its inventory, there is only about $152,000 worth of inventory remaining.
Shares of Uranium Energy Corp (NYSEMKT: UEC) declined on June 19, 2015, to as low as $1.50 per share.
