NEW YORK, Nov. 06, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The law firm of Kirby McInerney LLP reminds investors that a class action lawsuit has been filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California on behalf of those who acquired Fluidigm Corporation (Fluidigm or the Company) (NASDAQ: FLDM) securities during the period from February 7, 2019 through November 5, 2019, inclusive (the Class Period). Investors have until November 23, 2020 to apply to the Court to be appointed as lead plaintiff in the lawsuit.

The complaint filed in this class action alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Companys business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants failed to disclose to investors: (1) that Fluidigm was experiencing longer sales cycles; (2) that, as a result, Fluidigms revenue was reasonably likely to decline; and (3) that, as a result of the foregoing, Defendants positive statements about the Companys business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.

On August 1, 2019, Fluidigm reported second quarter 2019 revenue of $28.2 million, well below analysts expectations of $32 million, citing weakness in its microfluidics segment. On this news, the Companys share price fell $4.10, or 34%, to close at $8.05 per share on August 2, 2019, thereby injuring investors. Then, on November 5, 2019, after the market closed, Fluidigm reported that third quarter 2019 revenue declined 8.5% year-over-year primarily due to mass cytometry instrument sales. On this news, the Companys share price fell $2.60, or 51%, to close at $2.51 per share on November 6, 2019, thereby injuring investors further.
