Veritone vs Fujitsu: why the prices moved differently

• ▼

  Securities class action deadline passes Multiple law firms filed or reminded investors of a securities class action alleging Veritone misstated revenue and had weak accounting controls, leading to a restatement. The July 20 lead plaintiff deadline has now passed. This legal cloud pressures the stock because it could bring fines, settlements, and management distraction.
