History of Reported Misconduct

Maxar manufactures satellites and performs related services. Maxar common stock currently trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol “MAXR.”

On August 7, 2018, analysts at Spruce Point Capital Markets reported that Maxar perpetrated an intangible asset inflation scheme and overstated EBITDA and EPS earnings by approximately 17% and 79%, respectively.

A few months later, on October 31, 2018, Maxar released disappointing third-quarter financial and operational results. Rather than a profit, as market analysts had been led to expect, Maxar announced a $432 million net loss largely attributed to negative impairment charges and inventory obsolescence in its core business.

On this news, the price of Maxar common stock plummeted 45%, from a close of $27.07 on October 30, 2018 to a close of $14.91 per share on October 31, 2018, on unusually high trading volume.

If you are a current or former shareholder of Maxar Technologies, you may be entitled to compensation. Join the case to seek recovery of your losses.
