NEW YORK, Aug. 08, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bragar Eagel & Squire, P.C. is investigating potential claims against Maxar Technologies Ltd. (NYSE: MAXR).  Our investigation concerns whether Maxar has violated the federal securities laws and/or engaged in other unlawful business practices.

On August 7, 2018, Spruce Point Capital Management (“Spruce Point”) published a research report on Maxar.  The Spruce Point report alleged, in part, that Maxar “has pulled one of the most aggressive accounting schemes Spruce Point has ever seen to inflate Non-IFRS earnings by 79%”.  Specifically, the report asserted that Maxar had used its acquisition of DigitalGlobe “to inflate [its] intangible assets” and had “amended its post-retirement benefit plan to book one-time gains” in a manner that “was not fully disclosed across its investor communications.” 

On this news, shares of Maxar fell by more than 13% to close at $38.44 on August 7, 2018.
