Leading securities law firm Bleichmar Fonti & Auld LLP has launched an investigation into Tennant Company (NYSE:TNC) for potential violations of federal securities laws. The investigation focuses on Tennant's implementation and rollout of a new company-wide enterprise resource planning (ERP) system, which caused severe operational disruptions and a 23.4% plunge in the company's stock price on February 24, 2026.

Why it matters

Tennant's ERP rollout issues raise concerns about the company's transparency with investors regarding the project's status and potential risks. The significant stock drop also highlights the potential financial impact of failed ERP system implementations, which can expose companies to securities fraud claims from impacted shareholders.

The details

BFA Law is investigating whether Tennant made false or misleading statements to investors about the ERP system implementation, including assurances that the project was 'progressing as we've anticipated,' was 'on time and on budget,' and that the Asia-Pacific launch had been 'successful' with 'mitigated disruptions and stabilized operations.' However, Tennant later revealed the North American ERP rollout caused severe operational disruptions, resulting in $30 million in lost sales and requiring over $20 million in remediation costs in 2026, far exceeding the $5 million the company had planned to spend.

  • On February 24, 2026, Tennant's stock price dropped 23.4% after the company disclosed the ERP rollout issues.
  • BFA Law is currently investigating Tennant's actions and statements regarding the ERP system implementation.
