INVESTOR ALERT: Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd LLP Announces that Apple Inc. Investors with Substantial Losses Have Opportunity to Lead Class Action Lawsuit
Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd LLP announces that purchasers or acquirers of Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL) securities between June 10, 2024 and June 9, 2025, both dates inclusive (the 'Class Period'), have until August 19, 2025 to seek appointment as lead plaintiff of the Apple class action lawsuit. Captioned Tucker v. Apple Inc., No. 25-cv-05197 (N.D. Cal.), the Apple class action lawsuit charges Apple and certain of Apple's top current and former executives with violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

CASE ALLEGATIONS: The Apple class action lawsuit alleges that defendants throughout the Class Period made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) Apple misstated the time it would take to integrate the advanced artificial intelligence ('AI')-based Siri features into its devices; (ii) accordingly, it was highly unlikely that these features would be available for the iPhone 16; (iii) the lack of such advanced AI-based features would hurt iPhone 16 sales; and (iv) as a result, Apple's business and/or financial prospects were overstated.
The Apple class action lawsuit further alleges that on March 7, 2025, Apple announced it was indefinitely delaying promised updates to its Siri digital assistant. The Apple class action lawsuit alleges that on this news, the price of Apple stock fell.
Then, on March 12, 2025, the Apple class action lawsuit further alleges that Morgan Stanley published a report in which analyst Erik Woodring lowered his price target on Apple from $275 to $252, asserting that the delay in introducing advanced Siri features would impact iPhone upgrade cycles throughout 2025 and 2026, and presenting evidence that roughly 50% of iPhone owners who did not upgrade to the iPhone 16 attributed their decision to such delays. On this news, the price of Apple stock fell further, according to the complaint.
Thereafter, the Apple class action lawsuit alleges that on April 3, 2025, the Wall Street Journal published an article titled 'Apple and Amazon Promised Us Revolutionary AI. We're Still Waiting,' which stated, in relevant part, that '[w]ith 'more personal' Siri . . . , the tech giant[] marketed features [it] ha[s] yet to deliver,' and suggested that while 'this is challenging technology and the cost of getting it wrong is devastatingly high, especially for [a] compan[y] like Apple . . . that must build trust with customers,' 'the same responsibility applies to marketing: They shouldn't announce products until they're sure they can deliver them.' On this news, the price of Apple stock fell more than 7%, according to the complaint.
Finally, on June 9, 2025, Apple hosted its Worldwide Developer Conference ('WWDC'), almost one year to the day after first announcing the suite of supposedly forthcoming Apple Intelligence features at the 2024 WWDC, and Apple failed to announce any new updates regarding advanced Siri features, according to the complaint. On this news, the price of Apple stock fell further, according to the complaint.
Last year, Robbins Geller secured a $490 million recovery in a securities fraud class action case alleging Apple CEO Timothy Cook made false and misleading statements to investors – the third-largest securities class action recovery ever in the Northern District of California and the fifth-largest such recovery ever in the Ninth Circuit. In the order granting final approval of the settlement, the court recognized the 'skill and strategic vision, as well as the risk taken by [Robbins Geller]' in securing the sizeable recovery while efficiently managing the 'uniquely complex' aspects of the case against 'highly sophisticated and experienced counsel and defendants.'

THE LEAD PLAINTIFF PROCESS: The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 permits any investor who purchased or acquired Apple securities during the Class Period to seek appointment as lead plaintiff in the Apple class action lawsuit. A lead plaintiff is generally the movant with the greatest financial interest in the relief sought by the putative class who is also typical and adequate of the putative class. A lead plaintiff acts on behalf of all other class members in directing the Apple class action lawsuit. The lead plaintiff can select a law firm of its choice to litigate the Apple class action lawsuit. An investor's ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff of the Apple class action lawsuit.

Adjusted Operating Income: $86.1 million, up from $81.6 million in Q2 of last year. Adjusted Operating Income Margin: 6.8%, up 50 basis points year over year. Free Cash Flow (before IFRS 16 lease payments): $72 million, up from $51.7 million in Q2 of last year. Free Cash Flow (including IFRS 16 lease payments): $57.9 million. Adjusted Net Earnings Per Share: $0.66, up from $0.58 in Q2 of 2024. Net Debt: Decreased by approximately $73 million to $792 million. Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA Ratio: 1.5x, down from 1.64x in Q1. 2025 Outlook: Total sales of $4.8 billion to $5.1 billion, adjusted operating income margin of 5.3% to 5.8%, and free cash flow of $125 million to $175 million. New Business Awards: $40 million in annualized sales, with $18 million from Stellantis and $22 million from Volkswagen and Volvo trucks. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 3 Warning Signs with MRETF. Release Date: August 12, 2025 For the complete transcript of the earnings call, please refer to the full earnings call transcript. Positive Points Martinrea International Inc (MRETF) reported a strong second quarter with stable production levels, good profits, operating margin, and free cash flow. The company achieved notable margin improvements compared to the first quarter, driven by operational enhancements and negotiated commercial recoveries. Martinrea's machine learning initiatives, including adaptive welding software and AI vision systems, have resulted in significant cost savings and efficiency improvements. The company has been awarded new business worth $40 million in annualized sales, indicating a healthy pipeline and growth potential. Martinrea is on track to meet its 2025 outlook, with strong free cash flow generation and a solid balance sheet, maintaining a net debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio of 1.5x. Negative Points The company faces some tariff exposure, particularly from Tier 2 suppliers and parts affected by steel and aluminum tariffs, although it is considered manageable. Production sales are expected to be lower in the second half of the year due to typical seasonal patterns, which may impact margins. There are uncertainties regarding the impact of tariffs and the strength of the US economy in the second half of the year. Commercial recoveries in Europe have been limited, and the timing of these negotiations is somewhat out of the company's control. The company is maintaining a minimal footprint in the Rest of the World segment, which can result in profit swings due to changes in volumes and commercial settlements. Q & A Highlights Q: Can you provide additional commentary on the back-half margin guide, considering the strong margins despite lower sales in North America? A: Peter Cirulis, CFO: The second half will be impacted by seasonal adjustments, with production levels expected to be lower. There were some one-time favorable effects in Q2 that won't repeat in the second half, including contractual price reductions with certain customers. However, we expect a strong performance in the third quarter, with some opacity in the fourth. Q: Are there specific facilities in North America driving productivity and efficiency improvements? A: Pat D'Eramo, CEO: We don't focus on specific facilities, but our lean manufacturing journey is showing results across the board. Some plants are particularly advanced, and our machine learning initiatives are contributing to improvements. Overall, our operations are performing well globally. Q: Will there be any commercial recoveries in Europe in the second half of the year? A: Peter Cirulis, CFO: Commercial recoveries are somewhat unpredictable in terms of timing, but we expect some issues to be resolved in the second half. Over time, we anticipate fewer recoveries as the industry normalizes. Q: How do you view the impact of tariffs on your North American operations, given the strong margins? A: Peter Cirulis, CFO: There was a tariff headwind in Q2, but it was manageable. We expect to recover a large extent of this impact by year-end. The strong margins are also supported by our operational improvements and commercial activities. Q: With discussions on production reshoring, what are the implications for your facilities in Canada and Mexico? A: Pat D'Eramo, CEO: It depends on the source of the work. If it's new work from Asian or European OEMs, we will place it where it makes logistical sense. For work moving within North America, our existing footprint is well-positioned to handle it. This could create opportunities for our Canadian facilities. Q: What is your outlook on CapEx, given the recent trends? A: Peter Cirulis, CFO: We are comfortable with a $300 million CapEx target, but it could vary depending on the cadence of our launches and program extensions. We aim to align CapEx with depreciation. Q: How do you view the valuation of Martinrea compared to US peers, and would you consider re-domiciling to the US? A: Robert Wildeboer, Executive Chairman: We acknowledge the valuation discount and have bought back shares. Re-domiciling has tax implications, but we are aware of the value and will consider different strategies. We believe our shares are undervalued, which is why we've been buying them back. Q: What are your thoughts on the investment in NanoXplore and the potential of graphene? A: Robert Wildeboer, Executive Chairman: We believe graphene has a promising future and have used it in leading-edge products. While we don't use a large quantity, it contributes to our profitability. We are optimistic about its potential applications and the recognition of its value.

Taysha Gene Therapies Inc (TSHA) Q2 2025 Earnings Call Highlights: Regulatory Milestones and ...
Research and Development Expenses: $2.1 million for Q2 2025, compared to $15.1 million for Q2 2024. General and Administrative Expenses: $8.6 million for Q2 2025, compared to $7.3 million for Q2 2024. Net Loss: $26.9 million or $0.9 per share for Q2 2025, compared to $20.9 million or $0.9 per share for Q2 2024. Cash and Cash Equivalents: $312.8 million as of June 30, 2025. Follow-on Financing Proceeds: $230 million from May 2025, including full exercise of underwriters' option. Refinanced Loan: New debt facility of $50 million upfront with Trinity Capital, deferring principal payments by over 2.5 years. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 4 Warning Signs with TSHA. Release Date: August 12, 2025 For the complete transcript of the earnings call, please refer to the full earnings call transcript. Positive Points Taysha Gene Therapies Inc (NASDAQ:TSHA) has obtained alignment with the FDA and Health Canada to proceed with initiating their REVEAL pivotal trial for TSHA-102, indicating strong regulatory progress. The company reported positive clinical data supporting the therapeutic potential of TSHA-102, with all 10 patients in Part A of the REVEAL trials gaining or regaining developmental milestones. TSHA-102 is designed to target the genetic root cause of Rett syndrome, leveraging a clinically proven AAV9 vector and a minimally invasive lumbar intrathecal injection method. The company completed a public follow-on offering, resulting in total gross proceeds of $230 million, extending their cash runway into 2028. Taysha Gene Therapies Inc (NASDAQ:TSHA) has a defined path to registration for TSHA-102, with a pivotal trial underway and a strengthened balance sheet. Negative Points The company reported a net loss of $26.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to a net loss of $20.9 million for the same period in 2024. General and administrative expenses increased to $8.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, primarily due to higher legal and professional fees. There are no currently approved therapies that treat the underlying genetic root cause of Rett syndrome, highlighting the urgency and challenge of developing effective treatments. The company faces risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from forward-looking statements, as noted in their SEC filings. The pivotal trial design relies on a novel regulatory pathway, which may present challenges in terms of regulatory approval and market acceptance. Q & A Highlights Q: Given there was a 100% response rate for the pivotal trial primary endpoint in Part A of the study, is this the bar for Part B in your view? A: Sean Nolan, CEO: The results from Part A are compelling, but maintaining a 100% response rate is challenging. The statistical plan for Part B uses a null hypothesis of 6.7%, meaning only 1 out of 15 patients might spontaneously gain or regain a milestone. The statistical bar is relatively low, around 33%, and the numbers from Part A are significantly above this threshold. Q: Are there certain time points where all milestones are occurring, or are additional ones seen over time? Have the benefits of the gene therapy plateaued? A: Elsa Rosignol, Director of Integrated Rett Syndrome Clinic: We see increasing improvements over time, not just at one visit. Gains occur at most follow-up visits, and some critical gains in daily functioning are not captured in the developmental milestone assessment but are still significant improvements. Q: How does your gene therapy differentiate from competitors, particularly regarding study design and primary endpoints? A: Sean Nolan, CEO: Our approach is unique, focusing on clinically meaningful and objective gains in activities of daily living. We've worked with regulators to establish a new paradigm in assessing clinical efficacy through milestone gains. This approach is supported by KOLs, advocacy groups, and regulators, emphasizing the therapy's impact on quality of life. Q: Would you expect any pushback on using your interim readout to support BLA filing, given your competitor's feedback on a 6-month endpoint? A: Sean Nolan, CEO: Our interim analysis approach is data-driven, based on robust support from Part A data. We've discussed this with the FDA, focusing on further refinements of the analysis rather than overturning key trial design elements. We feel confident about our position. Q: Can you characterize any changes from Part A CMC material batch to Part B, specifically regarding full to empty capsid ratio? How many patients can you supply with commercial-scale material? A: Sean Nolan, CEO: We've aligned with the FDA that Part A and pivotal material are analytically comparable. We've made the product for the pivotal trial with the commercial process at scale. Our cash runway into 2028 allows us to build commercial inventory as needed, ensuring we're well-positioned on the CMC side.

Luminar Technologies Inc (LAZR) Q2 2025 Earnings Call Highlights: Navigating Challenges with ...
Revenue: $15.6 million for Q2, down 17% sequentially and 5% year over year. Gross Loss: $12.4 million on a GAAP basis and $10.8 million on a non-GAAP basis for Q2. Operating Expenses: $27 million on a GAAP basis and $47 million on a non-GAAP basis for Q2. Cash and Marketable Securities: $108 million at the end of Q2. Free Cash Flow: Approximately $53 million for Q2. 2025 Revenue Guidance: Lowered to $67 million to $74 million. Sensor Shipments: Expected to be in the range of 20,000 to 23,000 units for 2025, down from previous guidance of 30,000 to 33,000 units. Cost Savings: Expected reduction in operating expenses by $23 million in gross rate annual savings by 2026. Convertible Notes: Reduced face value by approximately $440 million since August of last year. Q3 Revenue Guidance: Expected to be in the range of $17 million to $19 million. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 8 Warning Signs with LAZR. Release Date: August 12, 2025 For the complete transcript of the earnings call, please refer to the full earnings call transcript. Positive Points Luminar Technologies Inc (NASDAQ:LAZR) achieved a major technical milestone by demonstrating the ability to detect objects as small as 8 centimeters at distances over 175 meters, which is considered an industry best. The company is focusing on commercial markets such as trucking, security, and defense, where autonomy and physical space analytics are advancing quickly, providing near-term revenue opportunities. Luminar Technologies Inc (NASDAQ:LAZR) is restructuring its supply chain by transitioning production to Thailand, which is expected to improve unit economics and streamline operations. The company has made significant progress in strengthening its balance sheet by reducing the face value of its 2026 convertible notes by approximately $440 million since August of the previous year. Luminar Technologies Inc (NASDAQ:LAZR) is exiting noncore initiatives, which is expected to reduce operating expenses by nearly $23 million in gross rate annual savings by 2026. Negative Points The widespread adoption of Level 3 and higher autonomy in the automotive market is progressing more slowly than expected, impacting long-term revenue projections. Luminar Technologies Inc (NASDAQ:LAZR) has lowered its 2025 revenue guidance due to a reduction in production volume estimates, particularly for the EX90 program, and the strategic decision to exit noncore areas of the business. The company reported a gross loss of $12.4 million on a GAAP basis for the quarter, which was below guidance due to a $3 million noncash warranty adjustment. There is a sequential decline in revenue, primarily driven by lower-than-expected NRE revenue and a reduction in sensor shipments. The transition of production to Thailand and the winding down of noncore business areas may lead to short-term operational disruptions and revenue impacts. Q & A Highlights Q: Can you help us size the opportunities from adjacent markets and update on potential customer engagements? A: The commercial markets are very large, but specific sizes are not provided today. We expect to leverage the Halo platform in both commercial and automotive markets. Paul Ricci, CEO Q: The shipment of series production sensors was at unfavorable economics. Can you elaborate on that? A: Due to lower-than-expected volume in the EX90 program, we are selling sensors at prices lower than production costs. We are transitioning production to Thailand to improve economics. Thomas Fennimore, CFO Q: When do you expect to realize revenue from commercial markets at a material level? A: We are realizing revenues today and expect to grow them over 2026. It's already a material part of our revenues this year. Paul Ricci, CEO Q: What positions Luminar to succeed in smart applications or infrastructure markets? A: We have existing revenues and technological advantages, offering LiDAR capabilities at lower price points. The market is large and growing rapidly. Paul Ricci, CEO Q: Could you provide an update on the partnership with Mercedes Benz? A: We have a development agreement with Mercedes and are working towards converting it into a production agreement based on milestone achievements. Paul Ricci, CEO Q: How do you see the automotive market evolving, particularly with OEMs and technology partners? A: Most automotive manufacturers are committed to autonomous technology, sourcing LiDAR hardware and software from us. The boundary between what they do and what we do will evolve over time. Paul Ricci, CEO Q: Could you help unpack the downside revision to the full-year revenue guidance? A: About two-thirds of the $15 million delta is due to lower sensor shipments, and the other third is related to the cancellation of the data contract. Thomas Fennimore, CFO Q: What are you hearing from Volvo regarding the EX90 and their future plans? A: Volvo has been an excellent partner and an early leader in LiDAR deployment. We continue to work with them on deployment and production agreements for the next-generation Halo architecture.
