On May 23, 2019, an analyst published a comprehensive report questioning, among other things, (1) whether the Company has been making up for slow growth with aggressive M&A and dubious accounting, and (2) whether low-quality M&A obfuscated organic growth and created a cookie jar for “beat & raises.”
“We’re focused on investors’ losses, whether the matters raised by Spruce Point are correct, and whether investors may have been misled,” said Hagens Berman partner Reed Kathrein.
PetIQ, Inc. (NASDAQ: PETQ)
Relevant Period: Securities acquired before April 30, 2019

On May 2, 2019, Cognizant and senior management (1) announced disappointing Q1 2019 financial results, and (2) slashed the Company’s 2019 revenue outlook. In response, the price of Cognizant shares significantly fell on May 3, 2019.
“We’re focused on investors’ losses, whether certain current and former executives knew or should have known that the February 6, 2019 and earlier guidance was not executable due to weaknesses within the core Financial Services and Healthcare segments, and whether investors may have been misled,” said Hagens Berman partner Reed Kathrein.
Pintec Technology Holdings Limited (NASDAQ: PT)
Relevant Period: Oct. 25, 2018 - May 16, 2019
Phone: 510-725-3000

On April 30, 2019, Pintec and senior management announced, without explanation, they would not timely file the Company’s annual report for the period ended December 31, 2018. Then on May 16, 2019, the Company and senior management announced Pintec received a letter from Nasdaq notifying the Company it was noncompliant with Nasdaq’s listing rules. In response, the price of Pintec shares fell to close at $7.53 on May 17, 2019, or over 36% below the Company’s initial public offering price.
“We’re focused on investors’ losses and whether senior management’s statements about Pintec’s internal controls over financial reporting may have been misleading,” said Hagens Berman partner Reed Kathrein.
