What is this Case About: Baxter International, Inc. (BAX) Misled Investors Regarding the Impact of its Supply Chain Problems

According to the complaint, during the class period, defendants materially misrepresented and/or concealed the true nature and severity of supply chain problems it was encountering and the impact they were having on the Company’s current and expected earnings. Defendants’ failure to disclose Baxter’s true problems relating to its supply chain deceived investors about the Company’s true financial health and earnings.

On February 9, 2023, after making numerous statements assuring investors that it could operate successfully despite global challenges to its supply chain, Baxter revealed that it had not achieved control over its supply chain problems and that its earnings guidance had been unreliable for some time. Though defendants knew the supply chain issues were going to continue to be an insurmountable problem they strung the investing public along to prop up the Company’s share price. When the Company revealed the truth, Baxter's stock price fell $5.54 per share, or over 12%, to close at $40.14 per share on February 9, 2023.
