What is this Case About: Spirit AeroSystems Holdings, Inc. (SPR) Misled Investors Regarding its Production Quality Controls

According to the complaint, defendants failed to disclose to investors that Spirit lacked effective production quality controls, which caused the Company to incorrectly install fittings designed to join the aft fuselage to the vertical tail for some Boeing 737 Max airplanes that Spirit sent to Boeing. As a result, Spirit would have to develop an inspection and repair procedure for the affected fuselages, which would negatively impact Spirit’s financial results.

On April 13, 2023, Boeing announced that it would halt deliveries of its 737 MAX aircraft due to a supplier quality problem. The same day, Bloomberg identified Spirit as the supplier of the faulty part. Several media outlets reported the details of the quality problem. An article by Reuters reported that “[t]he problem involves the installation of two fittings that join the aft fuselage made by Spirit to the vertical tail, which were not attached correctly to the structure of the fuselage before it was sent to Boeing.” Reuters also reported that “Spirit said it is working to develop an inspection and repair for the affected fuselages” and that “the problem is believed to date back to 2019.” On this news, Spirit’s stock price fell $7.38, or 20.7%, to close at $28.22 per share on April 14, 2023.
