Hesai Group (HSAI) said Wednesday it "strongly disagrees" with the allegations made in a recent report by Blue Orca Capital.

The short-seller recently alleged, among other things, that Hesai's LiDAR technology is being used in Chinese military vehicles.

The Blue Orca report is "without merit," Hesai said Wednesday. "The company reiterates its continued and unwavering commitment to stringent standards of business ethics and regulatory compliance."

Hesai shares were down 2.3% in recent Wednesday premarket activity after closing 7.8% lower Tuesday.
