Twitter, Inc. (NYSE:TWTR)

Investors Affected : August 6, 2019 – October 23, 2019

A class action has commenced on behalf of certain shareholders in Twitter, Inc. The filed complaint alleges that defendants engaged in a scheme to deceive the market and a course of conduct that artificially inflated Twitter’s common share price and operated as a fraud or deceit on purchasers of Twitter common stock by misrepresenting the Company’s operating condition and future business prospects. The scheme was perpetrated by making positive statements about Twitter’s business while defendants knew, or disregarded with deliberate recklessness, certain adverse facts. When defendants’ prior misrepresentations were disclosed and became apparent to the market, the price of Twitter’s common stock fell precipitously.

HEXO, incorporated and headquartered in Canada, makes and sells cannabis products for distribution to users, principally through third-party physical and online retailers.

Based on our investigation, we believe HEXO made materially false or misleading statements by (1) providing revenue guidance that materially overstated HEXO's likely revenue for 2020, (2) overstating the number of retail locations for HEXO's product that would be available during the fiscal year of 2019, (3) overstating the value of inventory, and (4) failing to disclose the Company's unlicensed growth of cannabis in Niagara.

After the close of markets on October 4, 2019, HEXO announced the sudden resignation of its new Chief Financial Officer. In response, HEXO's stock price declined 6% to close at $3.80 on October 7, 2019, the next trading day.

Six days later on October 10, 2019, HEXO withdrew its revenue guidance for the fiscal year of 2020 based in part on slow expansion of retail locations in Quebec and Ontario. That day, HEXO's stock price closed at $3.66, or 22% lower than the prior day's closing price.

On October 28, 2019 HEXO announced that it would take an impairment charge as a result of an excess of inventory that was caused in part by the slow expansion of retail locations in Quebec and Ontario. HEXO's stock declined another 6% to close at $2.52 the next day.

Then on November 15, 2019, HEXO belatedly disclosed that it had identified the unlicensed growth of cannabis on a HEXO property on July 30, 2019. That day, HEXO's stock closed at $1.79, a 5% decline from the prior day's closing price.

Background on the Baxter Securities Class Litigation

Baxter, based in Deerfield, Illinois, provides a broad portfolio of essential healthcare products, including acute chronic dialysis therapies, sterile intravenous (IV) solutions, infusion systems and devices, parenteral nutrition therapies, inhaled anesthetics, generic injectable pharmaceuticals, and surgical hemostat and sealant products.

The action alleges that during the Class Period, Baxter and certain of its officers made materially false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) certain intra-Company transactions, undertaken for the purpose of generating foreign exchange gains and losses, used foreign exchange rate conventions that were not in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") and enabled intra-Company transactions to be undertaken after the related exchange rates were already known; 2) the Company lacked effective internal control over its financial reporting; (3) as a result, the Company's financial statements were misstated and would likely necessitate correction or amendment; (4) due to the Company's internal investigation, Baxter would not be able to timely file its quarterly report for the period ending September 30, 2019 with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on Form 10-Q in a timely manner; and (5) as a result of the foregoing, Baxter and its officers' statements about the Company's business and operations lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.

On October 24, 2019, Baxter announced that it "recently began an investigation into certain intra-Company transactions undertaken for the purpose of generating foreign exchange gains or losses," and that according to the Company, "[t]hese transactions used a foreign exchange rate convention historically applied by the Company that was not in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and enabled intra-Company transactions to be undertaken after the related exchange rates were already known." The Company also admitted that these intra-Company transactions had "resulted in certain misstatements in the Company's previously reported non-operating income related to net foreign exchange gains" and acknowledged that upon completion of its investigation, "the Company expects to either amend its periodic reports previously filed with the SEC to include restated financial statements that correct those misstatements, or include in reports for future periods restated comparative financial statements that correct those misstatements." Following this news, the price of Baxter common stock fell $8.87 per share, or 10.1%, from a close of $87.95 per share on October 23, 2019 to close at $79.08 per share on October 24, 2019, on elevated trading volume.
