Key Takeaways:
Two law firms are investigating Blaize Holdings Inc. on behalf of shareholders after short sellers alleged the artificial intelligence company fabricated a $50 million customer agreement, sending its stock down 12 percent.
"The company's recently announced agreement with NeoTensr, which Blaize had announced was expected to generate up to $50 million in revenue, appears to be a bogus deal with a four-month-old counterparty whose website features products that appear to be photoshopped to add the Blaize logo," Pelican Way Research said in an April 28 report published by Investing.com.
A second short-seller report published within two days called Blaize a fraud and raised concerns about prior customer agreements, according to Johnson Fistel, which opened an investigation on July 13. Rosen Law Firm launched a separate probe on July 9. Both firms are seeking investors who purchased Blaize securities to join potential class actions.
Blaize, which trades on the Nasdaq under the ticker BZAI, had promoted the NeoTensr deal as a major revenue driver. The sharp decline erased tens of millions in market value. The company has not publicly responded to the allegations. Investors are watching for any regulatory inquiry from the Securities and Exchange Commission, which would signal a formal probe into the company's customer disclosures.
