According to the complaint, during the class period Defendants misled investors concerning Bridgepoint's revenue and expense recognition practices and, on March 7, 2019, they admitted (a) the Company's consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 were not reliable, and (b) "the Company identified errors, relating to revenue, provision for bad debts, accounts receivable and deferred revenue, which resulted in the overstatement of revenue and expenses."
This news drove the price of Bridgepoint Education shares sharply lower.
On April 2, 2019, the Company announced it would change its name to Zovio Inc. and trade on NASDAQ with a new ticker: ZVO.
"We're focused on investors' losses, admitted improper accounting, whether the so-called 'errors' were in fact 'irregularities,' and the extent to which Defendants may have misled investors," said Hagens Berman partner Reed Kathrein.
