Bragar Eagel & Squire, P.C. is investigating potential claims against Supreme Industries Inc. (NYSE:STS) concerning possible violations of the federal securities laws.

On October 21, 2016, the price of Supreme Industries shares plummeted by approximately 24% to close at $13.68 per share when the Company disclosed that its third quarter backlog of truck sales declined 22% as compared to 2015. On October 23, 2015, the Company stated that, “[a]s a result of the strong order activity, our order backlog at the end of the third quarter was $74.4 million, which is 47% higher as compared to the third quarter of 2014.” On July 22, 2016, the Company stated that third quarter 2016 backlog “would settle” similarly to the impressive third quarter 2015 results.

However, on October 21, 2016, management revealed for the first time that the large 2015 backlog was the result of “two large fleet replacement orders and the timing of an annual fleet account order received during the third quarter of last year.”

On October 22, 2016, Cliffside Research published a report focusing on the unexpected third quarter backlog decline of 22% year-over-year and heavy insider selling during 2016. “Heavy insider selling in STS is a canary in the coalmine that should not be ignored,” the note said.
