During Inteliquent’s February 18, 2016 earnings conference call, the Company provided 2016 revenue guidance of $370 to $390 million. The Company reiterated its guidance during the Company’s April 28, 2016 earnings conference call. On August 2, 2016, Inteliquent missed profit expectations and reduced revenue guidance to $360 to $370 million, driving the price of the Company’s shares down over 20% to close at $16.60 that day.
On September 19, 2016, Inteliquent announced its CFO resigned. In response to this news, the price of the Company’s shares fell over 8% to close at $15.34 on September 20, 2016.
Prior to the Company’s guidance reduction and stock drop, an Inteliquent director sold nearly $5 million worth of Company stock in July 2016.
“We’re looking into when the Company and management knew they would reduce revenue guidance,” said Hagens Berman partner Reed Kathrein.
