Law Offices of Howard G. Smith reminds investors of the upcoming March 15, 2024 deadline to file a lead plaintiff motion in the case filed on behalf of investors who purchased Cummins Inc. (“Cummins” or the “Company”) (NYSE: CMI) securities between April 30, 2019 and December 21, 2023, inclusive (the “Class Period”).

Investors suffering losses on their Cummins investments are encouraged to contact the Law Offices of Howard G. Smith to discuss their legal rights in this class action at 888-638-4847 or by email to howardsmith@howardsmithlaw.com.

On December 22, 2023, the United States Department of Justice (“DOJ”) revealed that it had reached an agreement with Cummins that required the Company to pay a $1.675 billion penalty to settle claims that the Company violated the Clean Air Act by installing hundreds of thousands of devices into engines to bypass emission control sensors.

On this news, Cummins’ stock price fell $7.01, or 2.9%, to close at $236.99 on December 22, 2023, thereby injuring investors.

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 Company’s business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants failed to disclose to investors that: (1) Contrary to its post-April 2019 Announcement assurances about its commitment to compliance, Cummins continued to produce engines with unlawful emission defeating devices from 2019 to 2023; (2) accordingly, Cummins understated its legal and regulatory risk, and overstated its commitment to environmental protection; and (3) as a result, Defendants’ positive statements about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.

If you purchased or otherwise acquired Cummins securities during the Class Period, you may move the Court no later than March 15, 2024 to ask the Court to appoint you as lead plaintiff if you meet certain legal requirements. To be a member of the class action you need not take any action at this time; you may retain counsel of your choice or take no action and remain an absent member of the class action.
