Mar 11, 2019, 15:46 ET
The investigation concerns whether U.S. Xpress and certain of its officers and/or directors have engaged in securities fraud or other unlawful business practices.
On November 1, 2018, U.S. Xpress issued a press release announcing the Company's financial and operating results for the third fiscal quarter and nine months ending September 30, 2018. Therein, and in a conference call discussing the results, U.S. Xpress disclosed how unusual shipping patterns were impacting its segments and how market challenges for drivers resulted in a year-to-year tractor count decrease. The Company and its executives further disclosed higher driver wages and independent contractor costs, lower than expected recruitment levels, and a higher insurance expense.
On this news, U.S. Xpress's stock price fell $3.04 per share, or nearly 30%, to close at $7.10 per share on November 2, 2018.
