Investor Alert: Kaplan Fox Investigates Hamilton Beach For Potential Accounting Fraud
NEW YORK, June 10, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Kaplan Fox & Kilsheimer LLP (www.kaplanfox.com) is investigating claims on behalf of investors of Hamilton Beach Brands Holding Company ("Hamilton Beach" or the "Company") (NYSE: HBB). A complaint has been filed against the Company on behalf of investors that purchased or acquired Hamilton Beach securities between February 27, 2020 and May 8, 2020, inclusive (the "Class Period").
On May 11, 2020, Hamilton Beach issued a press release announcing that it has discovered certain accounting irregularities at its Mexican subsidiary and that the Company's Audit Review Committee has launched an internal investigation. Specifically, the press release states "[d]uring the quarter, the Company discovered certain accounting irregularities with respect to the timing of recognition of selling and marketing expenses and the classification of certain expenditures within the statement of operations at its Mexican subsidiary." As a result, Hamilton Beach also indicated that it would be unable to timely file its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2020.
Following these disclosures, Hamilton's stock price fell $1.03 per share, or 8.99%, to close at $10.43 per share on May 11, 2020.
