Resolute Forest Undergoes U.S. Department of Commerce Investigation
On July 29, 2015, the U.S. Department of Commerce calculated a preliminary subsidy rate of 2.04% for Resolute Forest with respect to imports of supercalendared paper from Canada. Then, on October 15, 2015, after conducting a countervailing duty investigation, the Department of Commerce determined a final subsidy rate of 17.87% for the company. According to a Resolute Forest press release, the Department of Commerce stated that the increased subsidy rate was based on the application of "adverse facts available" and noted that Resolute Forest "did not fully cooperate with the investigation." On this news, Resolute Forest stock fell 8.2% on intraday trading on October 16, 2015, and has declined further to close at $9.36 per share on October 20, 2015.
