Hannon Armstrong Sustainable Infrastructure Capital, Inc. (NYSE: HASI)

On October 5, 2022, Carson Block, principal of Muddy Waters, asserted in the Financial Times that Hannon’s accounting is “so complex and misleading that its financial statements are effectively meaningless” and that the Company is “a prime example of how public market incentives can warp a company into relentlessly destroying value to feed a Wall Street growth narrative.”

On this news, Hannon’s stock price fell $2.35 per share, or 7.43%, to close at $29.28 per share on October 5, 2022.

Establishment Labs Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: ESTA)

On October 19, 2022, market analyst Hindenburg Research published a report entitled “Establishment Labs: A Financially Stretched Silicone Safety Charade” which alleged, among other things, that “[d]espite claims of superior safety, we found that almost all key safety studies touted by the company have conflicts of interest, with many undisclosed or under-disclosed.” Further, the report alleged that “Establishment claims to have successfully piloted a ‘revolutionary’ technique to place implants through the armpit using local anesthesia (instead of general), claiming the technique will greatly expand its Total Addressable Market (TAM). This type of insertion has been reported since the 1970s and has been widely available for almost 20 years. It has failed to gain traction due to safety risks.”

The report also alleged that “[b]eyond undisclosed safety questions, we have also identified financial risks. Import/export records show that Establishment ships product to entities formerly owned by the CEO and his family, raising questions of conflicts of interest.”

On this news, share price fell by 17% when the market opened on October 19, 2022.

FIGS, Inc. (NYSE: FIGS)

After the market closed on October 18, 2022, Seeking Alpha published an article on a pending lawsuit against healthcare apparel company, FIGS, Inc., in which plaintiff's counsel stated:

"As I said in court today, our evidence will show during this trial that FIGS founders Heather Hasson and Trina Spear advertised that they invented a proprietary chemical to make their scrubs anti-microbial, kill bacteria immediately on contact, and repel liquid - even though they never did so, and knew it was false…They continued to do this even in the face of internal, expert, and consumer pushback. FIGS will not provide any scientific evidence to support their claims or the breakdown of their supposed chemical treatment for scrubs."

Previously on September 7, 2022, Spruce Point Capital Management issued a short report on FIGS with allegations including: a history of misstating financial and business metrics going back prior to the company's May 2021 IPO, overstating total addressable market, and its founders "exaggerating their professional work history."

On this news, shares of FIGS fell by more than 10% in intraday trading on October 19, 2022.
