GSX Techedu (GSX) Securities Class Action:
The Complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants misreported GSX’s financials, student enrollment figures, and teacher qualifications.
Investors began to learn the truth on Feb. 25, 2020, when Grizzly Research published a scathing report, accusing GSX of “drastically overstating its profitability in its US public filings, especially for 2018.” Grizzly also claimed that GSX had generated “fake student enrollments to boost student count,” and “fabricated teachers profiles.”
On Apr. 14, 2020, Citron Research published its own cutting report, charging that GSX fabricated up to 70% of its revenues. According to Citron, GSX’s Chinese financials and SEC financials are irreconcilable and show a 75% overstatement of net profits for FY 2017 – 2018 alone.
Then, on May 7, 2020, Citron published another report, citing “definitive evidence” of GSX “committing securities fraud.” Citron avers that GSX’s claims of acquiring customers at half the cost of its peers are false and misleading since GSX uses undisclosed related entities as shell companies to move costs off the Company’s books.
Most recently, on May 18, 2020, Muddy Waters Research published another report, concluding GSX “is a near-total fraud,” concluding that between 70-80% of its users are fake. This news sent the price of GSX ADSs crashing lower.
“We’re focused on investors’ losses and proving GSX deceived investors,” said Reed Kathrein, the Hagens Berman partner leading the investigation.
