SES AI Hit With Class Action Lawsuit Alleging Fraud, 36.8% Stock Drop
SES sits 29% above its 52-week low of $0.8.
Summary
A class action lawsuit has been filed against SES AI Corporation, alleging the company made materially false or misleading statements that led to artificially inflated stock prices.

The complaint specifically cites "phantom deals" and "circular revenue schemes" and notes the Chief Science Officer sold 500,000 shares for over $1 million prior to the disclosure. This lawsuit adds significant legal and reputational risk for SES AI. The lead plaintiff deadline is June 26, 2026.
