Why is Evolv Technology (NASDAQ: EVLV) stock dropping?
On Friday, October 25, 2024, Evolv announced that certain previously issued financial statements from 2022-2024 should no longer be relied upon, and the company will delay the filing of its Quarterly Report for the period ended September 30, 2024.
This determination is a result of an investigation of the company’s sales practices by an ad hoc committee of independent directors of Evolv Technology’s Board of Directors, according to the company. The committee identified that certain terms and conditions associated with some sales were not shared with the company’s accounting personnel, and that “certain Company personnel engaged in misconduct in connection with those transactions.” As a result, the committee determined that the accounting for certain sales transactions was inaccurate, and estimated that on a net basis, “the sales transactions at issue have resulted in premature or incorrect revenue recognition of approximately $4 million to $6 million” through June 30, 2024. The company admitted that it “expects to report one or more additional material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting.”
Following this news, shares of Evolv Technology plummeted over 40% in intraday trading on Friday, October 25, 2024, causing significant harm to investors.

SPACs Like Evolv Technology Face Lawsuits and SEC Scrutiny
SPACs, or special purpose acquisition companies, are commonly known as “blank check” shell companies. SPACs provide an alternative to the traditional IPO process, and serve the primary purpose of raising investor proceeds to eventually acquire a private company. Investors typically buy into a SPAC before it announces, or even decides, which private company it will attempt to acquire.
While SPAC investors have the potential to realize significant gains, they are also much more vulnerable to market volatility and other types of fraud. Investors may be vulnerable to a variety of SPAC fraud by sponsors, including:
- Misrepresenting material facts related to the SPAC or the company to be acquired;
- Failing to properly investigate or conduct due diligence on the company to be acquired; or
- Engaging in self-dealing or failing to disclose conflicts of interest with the acquisition company.
SPACs have recently come under SEC scrutiny and investor lawsuits against SPACs are on the rise. According to MarketWatch, many of these lawsuits allege SPAC directors failed to disclose sufficient information about the companies they intended to merge with
