- B. Riley Financial's battered shares are on track to fall for a seventh straight session on Friday, capping a punishing week marred by investor concerns over a series of losses and regulatory setbacks.
The bank also delayed its quarterly report and warned of a markdown of $330 million to $370 million in the period related to its investment in FRG, a deal under scrutiny by both its shareholders and regulators.If losses hold throughout the session, the stock would see its longest streak of declines since early 2022. About 78% of the free float is sold short, nearing the highest in at least five years, according to estimates from ORTEX Technologies.
Kahn has denied the allegations made in the report, saying he never knew that Prophecy Asset was allegedly defrauding investors. An external investigation and an internal review earlier this year cleared B. Riley of any wrongdoing.
