NEW YORK, Nov. 19, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The law firm of Kirby McInerney LLP is investigating potential claims against JOYY, Inc. (“JOYY” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: YY). The investigation focuses on whether the Company issued false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose information pertinent to investors.
On November 18, 2020, Muddy Waters Research published a report entitled “YY: You Can’t Make This Stuff Up. Well…Actually You Can,” alleging that the Company “is a multibillion-dollar fraud.” The report concluded “that YY’s component businesses are a fraction of the size it reports, and that the company’s reported user metrics, revenues, and cash balances are predominantly fraudulent[,]” and that “[a]pproximately 84% of YY’s reported consolidated revenue appears to be fraudulent.”
On this news, JOYY American depositary shares (“ADSs”) price fell $26.53 per ADS, or 26%, to close at $73.66 per ADS on November 18, 2020.
