NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, announces it is investigating potential securities claims on behalf of shareholders of Baxter International Inc. (NYSE: BAX), resulting from allegations that Baxter may have issued materially misleading business information to the investing public.
On October 24, 2019, Baxter announced it had opened an internal investigation into certain intra-Company transactions aimed at foreign exchange gains and losses. These transactions used a foreign exchange rate convention that was not in accordance with GAAP and enabled the transactions to be undertaken after the related exchange rates were already known. These transactions resulted in misstatements in the Company’s previously reported non-operating income related to net foreign exchange gains, reported in amounts from between $8 million and $113 million for the years 2014-2018, and the first half of 2019. The Company will not timely file its 10-Q for the third quarter of 2019, and it expects to restate its previously reported financial statements.
On this news, Baxter’s stock price fell sharply during intraday trading on October 24, 2019.
Rosen Law Firm is preparing a class action lawsuit to recover losses suffered by Baxter investors.
