Company faces federal securities investigation due to significant miss versus guidance (expected 6-7% growth but delivered -1% sales decline and -5% QuantiFERON decline), resulting in 11% stock price drop. This suggests potential misleading statements or undisclosed material information.
The company is under investigation for issuing contradictory financial guidance within a two-month period, with a significant downward revision from 6-7% growth to largely unchanged sales levels. This suggests potential misrepresentation to investors and raises concerns about management credibility and internal controls.
Company disclosed weaker-than-expected Q1 2026 results with net sales declining 1% CER, QuantiFERON product sales down 5% CER, and significantly reduced full-year guidance to 1-2% growth due to declining immigration testing demand. Stock price fell approximately 10% following the announcement, triggering a securities investigation.
