Simulations Plus Faces Securities Probe Over $77.2M Impairment, Auditor Dismissal
SLP sits 43% above its 52-week low of $11.09.
Summary
Johnson Fistel, a shareholder rights law firm, has launched a securities investigation into Simulations Plus. The probe focuses on events from 2025, including a significant reduction in full-year revenue guidance, a $77.2 million non-cash impairment charge, and the subsequent dismissal of the company's independent auditor amidst unresolved issues related to financial reporting and internal controls. While the underlying events are from over a year ago, the initiation of a formal securities investigation introduces new legal and financial risks for Simulations Plus, including potential class-action lawsuits and associated costs.
