Newell Brands Inc. (NWL) Investigation:

The investigation concerns the propriety of Newell’s accounting for and disclosures relating to its accounting practices, including those related to recognized sales, goodwill, and other assets.

Newell has long assured investors that its financial statements conformed with GAAP.

But, on Mar. 2, 2020, after the market closed, Newell revealed, “[o]n January 31, 2020, the Company received a subpoena from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) primarily relating to its sales practices and certain accounting matters during the period from January 1, 2016 to the date of the subpoena.” The Company stated, “[t]he subpoena followed various informal document requests from the SEC staff, including several requests primarily related to the impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets.”

This news drove the price of Newell shares sharply lower that day.

“We’re focused on investors’ losses and whether Newell may have improperly recognized revenues and inflated the value of its goodwill to appear more profitable,” said Reed Kathrein, the Hagens Berman partner leading the investigation.
