Specifically, Defendants misrepresented and\/or failed to disclose that: (1) the vast majority of the purported orders in Cogent\u2019s optical wavelength \u201cbacklog\u201d were unlikely to ever result in a paid order; (2) large quantities of the customers in Cogent\u2019s purported optical wavelength \u201cbacklog\u201d were unable or unwilling to accept delivery even if Cogent was in a position to provision the wavelength in a timely manner; (3) as a result of the foregoing, Defendants had materially misrepresented customer demand for Cogent\u2019s optical wavelength services and the nature of Cogent\u2019s purported \u201cbacklog\u201d of wavelength orders; (4) as a result, Cogent was not on track to achieve its revenue and margin targets and such targets lacked a reasonable basis in objective fact; (5) Cogent did not have the financial capacity or business fundamentals to maintain its long-standing dividend policy; (6) there was a material, undisclosed risk that Defendant David Schaeffer would be forced to sell vast quantities of Cogent stock as a result of his high-risk pledging activities, thereby further depressing the price of Cogent stock in the event the truth regarding Cogent\u2019s \u201cbacklog,\u201d demand issues, and financial position were ever revealed; and (7) as a result, Defendants\u2019 positive statements about the company\u2019s business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and\/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.<\/p><p>\n<b>Why did Cogent\u2019s Stock Drop?<\/b><\/p><p>\nAfter numerous drops in Cogent\u2019s stock price relating to defendants\u2019 continual, material misrepresentations relating to customer demand for Cogent\u2019s optical wavelength services and the nature of the company\u2019s purported \u201cbacklog\u201d of wavelength orders, the final drop occurred on May 4, 2026. On that day, Cogent disclosed further wavelength underperformance and customer acceptance delays. On this news, Cogent\u2019s stock price declined $6.79 per share, or 29%, to close at $16.37 per share on May 4, 2026.<\/p><p>\n<b><span class=\"bwuline\">WHAT COGENT COMMUNICATIONS HOLDINGS, INC.
