奇富科技(QFIN)在2024年10月8日盘前股价大跌10.65%,此前美国做空机构Grizzly Research发布做空报告,指控该公司存在严重财务造假等问题。
Grizzly Research在报告中声称,奇富科技向国内工商机构申报的财务数据,与向美国证交会申报的财报存在极大差异。据统计,2022年奇富科技6家境内子公司合计净利润仅315万元,但其当年财报披露的净利润高达40亿元,两者相差1271倍。2023年差异更大,达1384倍。
此外,该做空机构还指控奇富科技在应收账款增加和逾期率上升的背景下,反而减少了坏账准备计提,被质疑存在操纵利润的嫌疑。同时,做空报告还批评奇富科技实控人周鸿祎"损害股东利益和欺诈指控的历史"。
针对上述指控,奇富科技发布公告回应,坚决否认做空报告中的相关说法,称报告毫无依据,且存在不准确信息和失实结论,对公司进行了失实和具有误导性的分析。
分析人士指出,近年来中概股受到美国做空机构频密发难,但同时这些机构也面临着美国监管部门的严格审查和重罚。一些著名做空机构如香橼资本及其创始人已遭到美国证监会起诉,被控利用发布虚假信息的方式进行欺诈从中获利。
