Lead Plaintiff motion deadline
  • $EVLV stockholder filed a claim vs. Evolv for overstating the efficacy of its products, which led to a higher risk of undetected weapons.
  • On February 20, 2024, news about the SEC investigation caused $EVLV to fall 15%, losing $124M+ in shareholder value.
On November 2, 2022, IPVM released a report titled "BBC Exposes Evolv with IPVM Research," revealing deceptive marketing practices and collusion with NCS4 to conceal test failures at weapons screening.

Following BBC's article questioning Manchester Arena's weapon scanning technology, $EVLV dropped by over 8% on the same day.

On May 23, 2023, BBC News reported that a student was attacked with a knife undetected by a scanner. As a result, $EVLV dropped nearly 8%.

On October 12, 2023, Evolv disclosed FTC inquiries about its marketing. $EVLV plummeted over 13% on this news.

After that, IPVM published an article questioning Evolv Express's effectiveness, citing its difficulty in distinguishing objects.

On February 20, 2024, Evolv disclosed a SEC investigation. As a result, $EVLV dropped by almost 16%.

On March 13, 2024, BBC published an article titled “AI weapons scanner backtracks on UK testing claims,” revealing that Evolv altered its claims about UK testing.

Based on these events, $EVLV stockholder filed a claim against Evolv and its leaders, accusing them of the following:
  • Evolv's products were ineffective in detecting knives and guns, posing a risk of undetected weapons in places like schools.
  • Evolv misled the public, customers, and investors about the effectiveness of its products.
Considering all the representations, investors have reasons to suspect that Evolv overstated the efficacy of its products, which led to a higher risk of undetected weapons.
