Year in Review
Stocks had a big end of the year jump and investors came out on top despite the ongoing trade war and Federal Reserve halting rate cuts. While the end of the year headlines reveal a positive outcome for investors, corporate misconduct can cause investors harm. Last year we saw corporate misconduct in companies like Lyft, Inc. (LYFT), which was accused of inflating its IPO price by overstating its market share, Carnival Corporation & Plc (CCL), for violating the terms of its probation and its mandated environmental compliance plan, and popular cannabis stocks like Canopy Growth Corp’s (CGC), which was accused of misleading shareholders about its weak demand for its softgel and oil products. As a result, Robbins LLP investigated over 250 publicly traded companies in 2019 for wrongdoing ranging from insider trading, misstatements, and accounting fraud.
