SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 21, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — On September 17, 2026, investors in Fluence Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ: FLNC)<\/strong> saw the price of their shares slide $1.39 (-15%) after the company held a business update call revealing more significant problems with its supply chain facility in Houston, Texas and that it fired its Chief Product Officer on September 11, 2026.<\/p>\n

The developments have prompted national shareholders rights firm Hagens Berman to open an investigation into whether Fluence has been sufficiently transparent about the operational readiness of the facility, including negative financial effects, and, if not, whether the company may have violated federal securities laws.<\/p>\n

The firm urges Fluence investors who suffered substantial losses to submit your losses now<\/a>. In addition, persons with knowledge who may be able to assist the investigation are invited to contact the firm\u2019s attorneys.<\/p>\n

\n Fluence Energy, Inc. (FLNC) Investigation:<\/strong>\n <\/p>\n

On August 21, 2025, Fluence announced that its expansion of U.S. domestic supply chain in partnership with Bergstrom Inc. was underway at a new manufacturing facility in Houston, Texas. The facility produces thermal management systems for its Gridstack ProTM battery energy storage solutions.<\/p>\n

The company emphasized in the announcement that \u201c[t]he Houston facility plays a crucial role in the company\u2019s strategy to onshore production of every major product and component of a grid-scale battery energy storage system to the United States.\u201d<\/p>\n

In response, the market sent the price of Fluence shares up 10% the next day.<\/p>\n

By August 5, 2026, investors learned more about the Houston facility, when Fluence reported weaker than expected Q3 2026 revenues, a GAAP gross profit margin of just 5.1% compared to 14.8% in the same quarter last year, and a net loss of $44.3 million compared to net income of $6.2 million in the same quarter last year.<\/p>\n

During the earnings call the next day, management assured investors that the Houston facility was \u201cfully automated\u201d but that completion of it had been delayed by a few months in part because of \u201cdelays in construction.\u201d CEO Julian Jose Nebreda Marquez provided further assurances, stating \u201cas I said, we\u2019re ramping up Houston and that we believe we have it under control.\u201d<\/p>\n

This news, along with the dramatic guidance reduction due to \u201cunder control\u201d delays, drove the price of Fluence shares down over 7% on August 6.<\/p>\n

Then, on September 16, 2026, investors learned more troubling news centered on the facility. Among other things, management:<\/p>\n
