On May 28, 2026, short-seller Morpheus Research issued a report that Innventure’s DarkNX venture to build an AI data center campus in Ontario was a fabrication.</p>  <p align="justify">On August 13, 2026, Innventure reported its second quarter 2026 financial results, revealing a net loss of $34.9 million, compared to $27.8 million in the first quarter of 2026, and that Adjusted EBITDA was a loss of $22.6 million, compared to $18.4 million in the first quarter of 2026. The Company’s CEO stated on the accompanying earnings call, "Evolving dynamics in the AI infrastructure market, including constraints facing smaller early adopters around power availability, GPU access, and deployment timing, have impacted out near-term expectations and render 2026 revenue generation an imprecise reflection of the meaningful progress Accelsius is making." Additionally, the same day, Innventure filed its quarterly report on Form 10-Q with the U.S. Securities Exchange Commission, disclosing that "the deployment site identified in the DarkNX purchase order is no longer available. Accelsius has removed the DarkNX project from its internal bookings." On this news, Innventure’s stock price fell $1.98, or 55%, to close at $1.62 on August 14, 2026.</p>  <p align="justify"><strong>What Should I Do?</strong></p>  <p align="justify">At this stage, no lawsuit has been filed.
