BP plc BP
BP's pledge to 'enhance lives' and protect biodiversity is exposed as hollow after a UK court quashed Lightsource BP's Burnhope solar farm for covertly oversizing the project.
BlackRock, Inc. BLK
BlackRock's governance trails the S&P 500 on every metric, its stewardship team is overwhelmed, and TSR has merely tracked the market since 2009 — separate Chair and CEO to restore independent oversight.
BlackRock, Inc. BLK
Bluebell demands BlackRock separate the combined Chair/CEO role via a binding bylaw amendment at the 2024 AGM, offering to withdraw only if the Board irrevocably commits to an independent Chair from 2025.
The Walt Disney Company DIS
Disney should lean into its 21%-ROIC Parks business and escape the streaming wars via bigger bundles and cross-studio collaboration — applying the Microsoft, NYT, and Spotify playbook ValueAct knows.
Norfolk Southern Corporation NSC
Norfolk Southern's safety and operating failures — epitomized by the preventable East Palestine derailment — require replacing CEO Alan Shaw and reconstituting the Board with independent nominees.
The Walt Disney Company DIS
Disney squandered a winning hand through a weak, unfocused Board; electing Peltz and Rasulo brings the shareholder mindset needed to reverse years of TSR underperformance.
CPI Property Group S.A. CPIPGR
CPI PG's Italian landbank and St. Tropez villa deals show ~€100M in unexplained cash and receivables gaps, suggesting controlling shareholder Vitek is using bondholder money to strip assets and launder cash.
The Walt Disney Company DIS
Disney's board has failed shareholders — TSR lags peers by 401% over ten years — so Trian is nominating Peltz and former CFO Rasulo to restore governance, accountability, and 'the magic.'
CPI Property Group CPIPGR
Follow-up to Muddy Waters' Part 1 report: a list of pointed questions challenging CPI Property Group to explain self-dealing transactions through which controlling shareholder Radovan Vitek is allegedly asset-stripping the company.
CPI Property Group S.A. CPIPGR
Muddy Waters is short CPI PG's credit: controlling shareholder Radovan Vitek is brazenly looting the company via undisclosed related-party deals — ~50% of €1.2bn examined transactions appear suspect.
Apellis Pharmaceuticals APLS
Citron shorts Apellis, arguing its new Geographic Atrophy drug Syfovre faces an imminent FDA warning as AAO ophthalmologists reject it 83%-17% and vasculitis cases mount.
Chinook Therapeutics KDNY
Chinook manipulated 2021-2022 revenues via its Chinese JV SanReno; strip out the accounting tricks and reported revenue collapses by 95% and 68% respectively, reinforcing our short.
Chinook Therapeutics Inc KDNY
Muddy Waters is short Chinook (KDNY): lead drug atrasentan is inefficacious, harmful, and blocked by sparsentan's IgAN orphan-drug exclusivity — FDA approval is highly unlikely.
Parkland Corporation PKI
Parkland's board re-nominated its 24-year chairman and set sub-cost-of-capital ROIC targets; Engine urges shareholders to WITHHOLD on all incumbents to force governance, pay, and portfolio reform.
Freedom Holding Corp FRHC
FRHC funnels 85% of revenue through a CEO-owned Belize affiliate (FFIN) sourcing Russian flows — an FTX/Alameda structure that should trigger restatement, sanctions violations, and Nasdaq delisting.
Cellnex Telecom, S.A. CLNX
Cellnex is a great asset hobbled by a board that botched CEO succession; TCI will move at the AGM to remove Kan, Shore and Reich and seat its own director.
Rogers Corporation ROG
Starboard's 6.5% stake in Rogers Corporation backs a board slate of specialty-materials veterans, arguing undervalued shares warrant fresh director expertise after the failed DuPont sale.
Alphabet GOOGL
Alphabet's January layoffs are a start but insufficient; management must cut headcount ~20% to 150,000 and slash excessive pay, including stock-based comp.
dLocal DLO
DLO's refusal to reconcile 2020 cash flows in writing, while verbally denying misuse on broker calls, confirms Muddy Waters' view that client funds financed the pre-IPO special dividend.
AST SpaceMobile, Inc. ASTS
AST SpaceMobile is a $1.8bn 2021-SPAC promoting a physically implausible direct-to-handset satellite broadband dream; the technology won't work as hyped, timelines keep slipping, and SpaceX/Apple competition eliminates any lead.
Hannon Armstrong Sustainable Infrastructure Capital HASI
HASI is 'dumb money' in renewables JVs — sponsors cash out while HASI books non-cash HLBV income on investments unlikely to ever pay out, inflating reported earnings over real economics.
The Walt Disney Company DIS
Disney's DTC pivot is working, but spinning ESPN, fully owning Hulu, cutting costs, and refreshing the board will unlock the next leg of value.
Sunrun RUN
Muddy Waters rebuts Sunrun's response: the 90% PPA-renewal assumption on 20-year-old panels is fantasy, the $668M panel-removal liability is real, and RUN hides its tax basis.
LivePerson, Inc. LPSN
Founder-CEO Rob LoCascio's unchecked power has produced repeated missed commitments and a 70% stock decline from peak
LivePerson, Inc. LPSN
Founder-CEO LoCascio has lowest Glassdoor approval among peers; toxic culture rewards loyalty over performance
McDonald's Corporation MCD
McDonald's board broke a 10-year promise to end gestation crates; replace Penrose and Lenny with two ESG experts to fix systemic governance and sustainability failures.
Netflix NFLX
Ad-tier pivot makes subscriber growth, margins, and capital intensity unpredictable
Netflix, Inc. NFLX
Market overreacted to weak subscriber guidance, creating an attractive entry point
Mercury Systems, Inc. MRCY
Rights Plan is not in the best interests of Mercury Systems shareholders
KE Holdings BEKE
BEKE is systemic fraud: platform scraping and field work show new-home GTV inflated ~126%, revenues inflated 77-96%, with ghost stores, clone stores, and a sham acquisition masking the deception.
Hokuetsu Corporation 3865
Hokuetsu's 13-year CEO resists change as its paper business declines; selling Daio Paper cross-holdings and pivoting to biomass power can quadruple market cap to ¥533.9bn.
Danimer Scientific DNMR
DNMR is a post-SPAC bioplastics story whose 'sold-out' demand, $200M take-or-pay contracts, and $1 trillion TAM are misrepresentations — actual utilization is ~28% and Novomer is a Hail Mary.
Solutions 30 S30
EY's refusal to sign Solutions 30's 2020 audit — after S30 blocked access to information on suspect transactions — confirms Muddy Waters' two-year-old fraud and money-laundering thesis.
Lemonade, Inc. LMND
Muddy Waters is short Lemonade after discovering a critical session-fixation flaw that exposed customer PII to Google's index — a negligence that shatters Lemonade's 'trustworthy' digital-native brand.
Box, Inc. BOX
Box has underperformed cloud peers for years despite engagement, and the Board just cut a dilutive financing to 'buy the vote' — Starboard nominates four directors to force real transformation.
Box, Inc. BOX
After a failed 2020 settlement, Starboard will nominate directors at Box's 2021 Annual Meeting, citing missed growth targets and a $500M convertible preferred it calls a 'buy the vote' scheme.
XL Fleet XL
XL Fleet's March 8 rebuttal fails to deny Muddy Waters' core claims — exaggerated pipeline, ~10% reorder rate, overstated fuel savings — confirming XL is SPAC trash.
Pershing Square Holdings (own fund) PSH
PSH returned 70.2% NAV / 84.8% TSR in 2020, beating S&P by 5,180 bps
Corteva, Inc. CTVA
Corteva's spin-off potential is squandered by CEO Jim Collins and a complacent Board; Starboard nominates eight directors to force leadership change and unlock operating value.
Invesco Ltd. IVZ
Trian is now Invesco's second-largest shareholder with ~9.9% of common stock
Nano-X Imaging Ltd. NNOX
Nanox's $1.3B medical-imaging story is a stock promotion: the ARC device appears to be a prop, distribution partnerships are shams, and a convicted felon engineered the IPO.
GSX Techedu GSX
GSX's rebuttals to our fraud report are evasive techno-drivel; meanwhile GSX openly recruits engineers to run cell-phone bot farms, confirming it is a nearly empty box.
GSX Techedu Inc. GSX
GSX Techedu is a near-total fraud: at least 73% — likely 80%+ — of paid K-12 users are bots, and Chairman Chen's $319M pledged stock heightens crash risk.
Wirecard AG WDI
KPMG could not verify 2016-2018 revenue from Third Party Acquiring partners after a 6-month forensic audit
GSX Techedu GSX
Citron argues GSX Techedu is a near-total fraud — the vast majority of claimed K-12 students are bots, revenues are fabricated, and the stock is a zero.
NMC Health plc NMC
Newly disclosed NMC share pledges corroborate Muddy Waters' hidden-debt thesis: likely Enron-style off-balance-sheet financing or subsidies from undisclosed Shetty-family related parties inflating margins.
Burford Capital BUR
Burford's dismal H2 2019 — 85% YoY collapse in realized gains, Petersen sold to its own fund, vanishing cash, and a lost Perry Ellis ruling — validates Muddy Waters' short thesis on aggressive marks and a flawed model.
Ferrovial FER
TCI, a ~1% shareholder, commends Ferrovial's CDP 'A' grade but presses for stronger SBTI-aligned targets, RE100 membership, and leadership in de-carbonising aviation and road transport.
S&P Global SPGI
TCI, a ~1% holder, urges S&P Global to lead on climate disclosure: report fully to CDP, adopt a Paris-aligned transition plan, and push mandatory GHG disclosure across the companies it rates.
Canadian Pacific Railway CP
TCI, owner of ~8% of Canadian Pacific, demands the railroad close its CDP climate-disclosure gap versus peers CN and UNP and adopt a credible science-based transition plan.
Airbus AIR
TCI, a 1.5% Airbus shareholder since 2012, demands stronger climate disclosure, an A-grade CDP score, and Airbus leadership in mandating low-carbon synthetic aviation fuels — or TCI will vote against directors.
Alphabet Inc. GOOGL
TCI, a 0.6% Alphabet holder, commends Alphabet's A-grade CDP disclosure and codifies its stewardship stance: full CDP reporting, Paris-aligned transition plans, or votes against directors and auditors.
Unizo Holdings Company 3258.T
Unizo's employee-buyout 'mechanism' was invented after the fact to favor a friendly bidder
Burford Capital BUR
Burford cherry-picks which investments count as 'concluded' to avoid truing up marks; the 110% vs 19% gap between unconcluded and concluded returns exposes systematic fair-value manipulation.
Burford Capital BUR
Burford's rebuttal on Napo is a dodge: a 2013 Glenmark arbitration MW surfaces proves Napo was a failed investment BUR disguised as a winner.
Burford Capital Ltd. BUR
Muddy Waters hires ex-CIA behavioral analysts Qverity to show Burford management's rebuttal is riddled with evasion, aggression and persuasion — corroborating the original fraud thesis.
Burford Capital BUR
Burford's rebuttal confirms it: aggressive mark-to-model fair-value gains, manipulated ROIC/IRR, and a CEO-CFO marriage make BUR an Enron-style stock promotion the FCA should investigate.
United Technologies; ADP UTX; ADP
PSH exited United Technologies as of June 10, 2019
ANTA Sports Products 2020.HK
ANTA's largest 'third-party' supplier and its 'self-operated' online stores are secretly controlled by an ANTA employee, so reported margins and Fila's numbers cannot be trusted.
ANTA Sports Products 2020.HK
Muddy Waters Part 4 rebuts ANTA's responses — management has lied about owning all Fila stores, the Shanghai Fengxian disposal, and distributor independence, confirming the underlying fraud.
