The Complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and misleading statements regarding the Company's business, operations and prospects. Specifically, Defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose: (i) Baidu misrepresented the financial and business condition of iQIYI; (ii) iQIYI had inadequate controls; and (iii) as a result, Defendants public statements were materially false and/or misleading at all relevant times.
On April 7, 2020, during market hours, Wolfpack Research released a report detailing, among other things, how iQIYI had misled investors and failed to disclose pertinent information generally and in its Registration Statement, including: (i) iQIYI overstating its user numbers; (ii) iQIYI inflating its revenues; (iii) iQIYI inflating expenses and prices of assets to conceal its revenue inflation; and (iv) iQIYI misleading financial reporting creating the appearance of a cash generative company.
On this news, Baidu's ADSs fell $4.46 per ADS, or 4% to close at $97.33 per ADS on the next full trading day, April 8, 2020, damaging investors.
On August 13, 2020 after trading hours, iQIYI issued a press release entitled "iQIYI announces Second Quarter 2020 Financial Results" which announced that the SEC's Division of Enforcement was "seeking the production of certain financial and operational records dating from January 1, 2018, as well as documents related to certain acquisitions and investments that were identified in a report issued by short-seller firm Wolfpack Research in April 2020."
On this news, Baidu's ADSs fell $7.83 per ADS, or 6% to close at $116.74 per ADS on August 14, 2020 damaging investors.
