Pomerantz is investigating potential securities fraud claims against Silvercorp after the October 19, 2026 disclosure of a 13% revenue decline to $72.1 million, a 41% drop in silver production, and suspension of the GC Mine until late 2027. The stock already fell 5.22% to $9.26 on October 20, so the production miss is largely priced in, but a formal class action adds litigation overhang and headline risk.
