After the close of trading on February 21, 2018, Defendants announced disappointing fourth quarter earnings of $0.43 per share and a 31% dividend cut. They blamed the poor performance on the decline in use of heavy residual oil products, namely No. 6 oil fuel, which was a previously undisclosed dependency of its core International-Matex Tank Terminals (“IMTT”) business.
This news drove the price of Macquarie shares down $26.21, or about 41%, to close at $37.41 on February 22, 2018.
“We’re focused on investors’ enormous losses and Defendants’ apparent omissions about one of Macquarie’s core operations in light of their recent denials of issues with IMTT,” said Hagens Berman partner Reed Kathrein.
