Investigation Still Weighs on Stock

After Tuesday’s extended trading session ended, shareholder rights law firm Johnson Fistel, PLLP said it was investigating possible federal securities law violations involving Hyliion investors.

The investigation follows a Jun. 23 report from short seller Pelican Way Research. The report raised questions about Hyliion’s non-binding letter of intent with VFG Holdings, a full-stack AI data center systems integrator, for up to 250 KARNO Cores. The agreement could represent about $133 million in potential revenue.

Pelican Way Research alleged that VFG, incorporated in January, showed limited signs of operating substance, including only four LinkedIn employees and a minimal website, raising questions about whether the LOI provided meaningful commercial validation.
