- Trading Suspension Impact: On September 26, 2025, NASDAQ halted trading of SDM stock due to volatility, with over 270,000 orders in a single minute, approximately 30% of the company's average daily volume, resulting in an 88% drop in stock price to $1.85 per share, severely undermining investor confidence.
- SEC Investigation: The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission imposed a temporary trading suspension on SDM from September 29 to October 25, 2025, due to potential manipulation via social media, which could artificially inflate stock price and volume, further exacerbating market uncertainty.
- Class Action Background: The class action lawsuit against SDM alleges that the company failed to disclose significant adverse facts related to market manipulation and fraudulent promotion throughout the class period, exposing investors to substantial financial risks and legal liabilities.
- Investor Action Call: Investors must file to become lead plaintiffs by March 16, 2026, if they meet legal requirements, providing an opportunity to participate in the lawsuit and seek compensation for their losses.
