RADNOR, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The law firm of Kessler Topaz Meltzer & Check, LLP (www.ktmc.com) is currently investigating potential violations of the federal securities laws on behalf of investors of Shift4 Payments, Inc. (NYSE: FOUR) (“Shift4”).

On April 19, 2023, market analyst Blue Orca Capital issued a report stating, among other things, that “Shift4 engaged in a string of highly questionable and hyper aggressive accounting maneuvers seemingly designed to keep the stock afloat, from cash flow manipulation to inexplicable distributor acquisitions that enabled it to capitalize a major component of COGS.” Additionally, the report revealed that "Shift4's CFO abruptly left the Company the day before its Q2 2022 earnings call, amidst a lengthy string of correspondence with the SEC over its accounting. Its auditor warned of a material weakness over internal controls the very next quarter, just as it spent $256.4 million in a string of M&A that enabled it to capitalize a material share of COGS."

Following this news, Shift4’s stock price fell more than 12% during intraday trading on April 19, 2023.
