Fluence Energy lowered its fiscal 2026 revenue guidance to approximately $2.4 billion, down from a previous midpoint of $3 billion, citing production delays and supply chain issues at its contract manufacturing facility in Houston, Texas. The company also projected an adjusted EBITDA loss of roughly $200 million, a significant increase from its previous estimate of a $10 million loss.

Following these disclosures, the company faced a securities fraud class action lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. Investors allege that Fluence misrepresented or failed to disclose problems regarding its manufacturing capacity and the readiness of the Houston facility, which reportedly caused approximately $400 million in deliveries to be delayed until fiscal 2027.
