On July 22, 2016 Supreme Industries explained that their order backlog for the third quarter of 2016 “is going to settle more towards the way it looked Q3 last year.”

However, on October 21, 2016, the Company announced the order backlog “was $58.1 million, which was down from the $74.4 million in order backlog at the end of last year’s same quarter.”  This news drove the price of Supreme Industries shares down by nearly 24% to close at $13.68 per share that day.

The price of Supreme Industries’ shares fell another 17% on October 24, 2016 in response to Cliffside Research’s report highlighting heavy insider selling leading up to disclosures of the Q3 backlog weakness: “Heavy insider selling in STS is a canary in the coalmine that should not be ignored.”

“STS management knew Q3 2015 backlog was highly unusual and would not be repeated,” said Hagens Berman partner Reed Kathrein. “Insider trading calls this out.”

Under the new SEC whistleblower program, whistleblowers who provide original information may receive rewards totaling up to 30 percent of any successful recovery made by the SEC.
