We have been tracking an undisclosed SEC investigation at Chegg since Nov-2023, and warned twice on it since. Edwin made his great call in early Jan-2024. When two independent research providers give you warnings, each bringing different perspectives, it pays to listen. $CHGG

Fraudsters approve. Unfortunately, the term "perp walked," as cited here by David, remains a concept many investors are too young to have yet seen in practice.

Pro Tip: When a company says it received an SEC subpoena, there is a formal investigation behind it. Few companies make this part clear. An SEC subpoena is often a sign that an informal inquiry, which started earlier, has now escalated. #Corpgov
We publish a lot of warnings about disclosed and undisclosed SEC investigations. However, most of the time we tell clients our research finds, "No SEC investigation found." Long-only investors rely on these updates to help monitor their holdings. Report excerpt below.
We warned repeatedly on Carvana since Sep-2021, back when it was a $330 stock. Last year we then found and warned about undisclosed SEC investigations at AutoNation and CarGurus as well. Here is an excerpt from that warning, sent to clients on 28-Sep-2023: $CVNA $AN $CARG

"How's that Riley short working for you?" said our anonymous caller today, with more threats over our work on $RILY. Uh-huh. We've never once shorted a stock. Our misguided Riley fan (this him?) called from a blocked phone number and repeatedly refused to identify himself.
GE Healthcare Technologies waited 5 years to first disclose, in Oct-2023, a FCPA investigation involving "certain provinces in China". That's bad. Here's why: For 5 years $GEHC did not think this exposure was material enough to disclose. Now they do. You still don't know why.
In the 10-K filed 23-Feb-2024, Vertiv first disclosed receipt of subpoenas from the SEC and DOJ (think criminal exposure here). This likely started well before $VRT disclosed. Now that they are telling you, you are safe to assume the company thinks it poses a material risk.
What's going on with Upstart Holdings and the SEC? In Mar-2024, we issued a warning of an undisclosed SEC investigation at $UPST, confirmed as ongoing as of 11-Mar-2024. Stock lost more than 50% of value after earnings in Aug-2023. Large volatility can trigger an SEC probe.
In March, we sent clients this update regarding our warning on United Parcel Service. We now know of two undisclosed SEC investigations at $UPS, one of which is protracted.
In March, clients got this update on a disclosed, ongoing SEC investigation at a microcap company, HF Foods Group. Initially impressed to see progress made on clearing up a Gong Show of problems, we now see a delayed 10-K and the CFO "taking a leave" as a step backwards. $HFFG
On 25-Mar-2024, we added Ford Motor to the DI Watch List of companies with confirmed, undisclosed SEC investigations. Here's what we sent to clients on $F -
On 25-Mar-2024, we added AstraZeneca to the DI Watch List of companies with confirmed, undisclosed SEC investigations. Here's what we sent to clients on $AZN -
Here's what paid pumpers don't want people to focus on. The $RILY @UndeadFoia persona popped up just to combat @direports. $RILY is almost 2 months late on the 10K, it is normal to have an SEC probe. Focus paid pump resources on something else. @DonPalermo5 $RILY @AlderLaneEggs

@herbgreenberg @LastCallCNBC Were it a serious complaint, Nunes could have sent his letter to the SEC, and not just NASDAQ. Then again, he could have also made sure investors knew of the auditor's going-concern issues before they did the IPO, instead of letting it come out days after.
Do SEC probes have to be disclosed? In determining what's material, the SEC points to longstanding Supreme Court precedent - A matter is material if a reasonable investor would consider its disclosure or omission important when making an investment or voting decision.
We are sensing a pattern of SEC investigations showing up after cyber intrusions are announced. Not all are disclosed. This is because cyber now represents a meaningful exposure. In fact, boards of pubic companies now factor it into their risk assessments and oversight. #Corpgov

Amazing catch by @unemon1 on $RILY using "to report" vs "to release" for its upcoming earnings This combined with LaRocca out-of-office email and Marcum engaging outside counsel makes me incredibly skeptical $RILY will publish audited results today
$RILY ... why changing the language? @AlderLaneEggs @FriendlyBearSA Release vs. Report: they said report ... " Audit report release date is the date when the auditor finalises the report. Date of Auditor's report is the date when the director signs" NOT SIGNED? ehehe
Great joining the @SchwabNetwork to talk @NewConstructs research. For $AMC to be worth $1, revenue would have to grow to 47% of the projected global box office revenue in 2023. #unlikely See the math in the reverse DCF research from the report.

B. Riley unable to timely file the 10-K. They did the same thing last year, followed shortly by a restatement and declaration of ineffective internal controls. As of the Nov-2023 10-Q, internal controls still ineffective. Press release is silent on SEC probe. $RILY
Today is a great reminder to read and support The Bear Cave newsletter Over the last month, The Bear Cave repeatedly raised serious concerns about B. Riley and its deteriorating audit relationship Now, $RILY is delaying its 10-K and assessing strategic alternatives
