Why XPO Logistics Inc. Is Tanking Over 17%
XPO Logistics Inc. (NYSE: XPO) is down over 17% as of 12:25 P.M. EDT following a report by famed short-seller Spruce Point Capital Management. In the report, Spruce Point discusses the background of XPO’s founder, Bradley Jacobs, and the “accounting scandal during his leadership” at United Rentals, Inc. (NYSE: URI), which he co-founded. Ultimately, Spruce Point thinks XPO’s share price could “swiftly collapse in Enron-style fashion” with a 40%-60% intermediate downside risk and a 100% long-term downside risk.
