On October 19, 2023, Culper Research issued a report alleging that XPEL "grossly understated its reliance on Tesla." In the prior week, Tesla stated that it would be eliminating XPEL from its supply chain. In response, XPEL stated that Tesla represented only 5% of its revenues. However, Culper Research estimated that Tesla actually represents 25% to 35% of XPEL's paint protection films ("PPF") business. Culper Research further alleged that XPEL "is concealing a massive undisclosed risk from its primary supplier which threatens to upend the [XPEL]'s entire reason for being." Specifically, Culper Research claimed that XPEL's long-time supplier, entrotech, inc., formed a joint venture with PPG, which has integrated protection technology directly into OEM paint. Culper Research noted that while "XPEL has historically disclosed it substantial reliance on entrotech in its filings," it had "conspicuously removed all mentions of entrotech in its most recent Form10-K and 10-Qs." 

On this news, XPEL's stock price fell $10.57 per share, or more than 17%, to close at $50.65 per share on October 19, 2023. 

Then, on May 2, 2024, XPEL issued a press release announcing its financial results for the first quarter of 2024. Among other items, XPEL reported GAAP earnings per share of $0.24, missing consensus estimates by $0.06, and revenue of $90.1 million, missing consensus estimates by $3.99 million. With respect to its full-year 2024 outlook, the Company advised that "[a]nnual revenue growth projection is revised downward to 8-10% from 15%." 

On this news, XPEL's stock price fell $20.93 per share, or 38.91%, to close at $32.86 per share on May 2, 2024.
