Grand Canyon Education, Inc. (LOPE) Investigation:
The investigation centers on whether LOPE’s financial reporting misled investors, including its accounting and disclosures with respect to related entities.
On Sept. 9, 2019, Citron Research published a report entitled, “Structural Change Without Legacy Customers Has (LOPE) Falling off a Cliff,” accusing LOPE of moving costs to an off-balance sheet subsidiary to inflate the Company’s profitability. This news drove the price of LOPE shares sharply lower that day.
Then, on Jan. 28, 2020, Citron published another scathing report about the Company entitled, “The Educational Enron; The Multiple Smoking Guns that Prove LOPE is Using a Captive Subsidiary to Manipulate Earnings.” Likening LOPE to Enron, the research firm accused LOPE of “using Grand Canyon University as a liability dumping ground/cookie jar in order to manipulate earnings and cover up for the headwinds they face due to a challenging environment in for-profit online education.” This news drove the price of LOPE shares sharply lower during intraday trading on Jan. 28, 2020.
“We’re focused on investors’ losses and whether LOPE secretly dumped costs on Grand Canyon to appear more profitable,” said Reed Kathrein, the Hagens Berman partner leading the investigation.
