On April 4, 2017 Citron Research published a report, similarly based on customer, competitor, and former employee interviews, accusing Fleetcor of being a "predatory company by design, whose core strategy is to methodically rip off its customers, using business practices and fees that are designed to deceive."  This news drove the price of FleetCor shares down approximately 6% to close at $141.60 that day.

On April 27, 2017 Citron Research issued a follow-up report explaining how FleetCor developed a scheme to categorize customers based on the level of improper fees that could be charged without the customers complaining.  This news drove the price of FleetCor shares down approximately 4% to close at $145.65 that day.
