A California financial technology company is threatening to take legal action against an investment research firm after allegations of financial misconduct sent its stock price tumbling on Tuesday.<\/p>

SoFi Technologies announced it may pursue legal remedies against Muddy Waters Research following the publication of a report that the lending company characterized as “factually inaccurate and misleading.”<\/p>

The investment research firm disclosed it had taken a short position against SoFi while publishing claims that the company “appears to have a material misstatement of at least $312 million of unrecorded debt. If we are correct, it raises the possibility that there are more extensive misstatements we have not detected.”<\/p>

SoFi’s stock price dropped by as much as 6.5% to $16.48 during Tuesday’s trading session after the report became public.<\/p>

The fintech company pushed back forcefully against the allegations, stating: “We have reviewed the full report and believe it is designed to deceive investors. SoFi maintains strong confidence in the integrity of our financial reporting.”<\/p>

Muddy Waters Research did not provide a response to requests for comment regarding SoFi’s potential legal action when contacted after normal business hours.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
