About the Lawsuit
Shares of the Company fell nearly 10% this past week, only one day after Itron said that its profits would be lower for the year. While analysts had been expecting at least $4.41 per share in net income, Itron now expects to earn only between $3.95 and $4.40 for 2011. The complaint alleges that the Company failed to disclose that its financial statements were materially false and misleading despite Itron's knowledge of its true operating condition.
