(NASDAQ: MAPS), Napco Security Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: NSSC), Light & Wonder, Inc. (NASDAQ:LNW), and Laser Photonics Corporation (NASDAQ: LASE).

WM Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ: MAPS)

On September 25, 2024, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) issued a litigation release in which it announced that it had “charged public company WM Technology, Inc. (Nasdaq: MAPS), its former CEO, Christopher Beals, and its former CFO, Arden Lee, for making negligent misrepresentations in WM Technology’s public reporting of a self-described key operating metric, the “monthly active users,” or “MAU,” for WM Technology’s online cannabis marketplace.” The same announcement noted that the SEC had “also instituted a related settled administrative proceeding against WM Technology” and that “WM Technology also agreed to pay a civil penalty of $1,500,000.”

On this news, WM Technology stock fell 1.9% on September 25, 2024.

Napco Security Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: NSSC)

On September 5, 2024, Fuzzy Panda Research published a report alleging Napco has engaged in accounting fraud and financial manipulation, stating: “We interviewed former employees, competitors, and industry leaders who repeatedly cast doubt on Napco’s reported financials and corroborated one another.” Following this news, the price of the Company’s stock dropped.

Light & Wonder, Inc. (NASDAQ:LNW)

In February 2024, Aristocrat Technologies ("Aristocrat") sued L&W in the U.S. District Court for the District of Nevada, alleging that L&W's "Dragon Train" series of slot machines bears similarities to Aristocrat's own "Dragon Link" series and questioning the role of two former Aristocrat designers in developing "Dragon Train". On September 23, 2024, the court entered an order enjoining L&W from "any continued or planned sale, leasing, or other commercialization of Dragon Train", finding a high likelihood that Aristocrat would prevail on the merits of its lawsuit. On this news, L&W's stock price fell $21.97 per share, or 19.5%, to close at $90.71 per share on September 24, 2024.

Laser Photonics Corporation (NASDAQ:LASE)
