WHAT IS HINDENBURG RESEARCH ?
Hindenburg Research is an investment research firm that conducts forensic financial research and publishes reports on publicly traded companies. The firm is known for its investigative approach to analyzing companies, often uncovering alleged fraud, mismanagement, or other issues that can impact the company's financial performance.
Hindenburg Research gained widespread attention in 2020 when it released a report that accused electric truck company Nikola Corporation of fraud, leading to a significant drop in the company's stock price and ultimately resulting in the departure of its founder and executive chairman, Trevor Milton.
The firm has also published reports on other companies, including Clover Health and Ebix, alleging issues such as misleading marketing practices and accounting irregularities.
Hindenburg Research has faced criticism and legal threats from some of the companies it has targeted, but it maintains that its research is thorough and unbiased.
