Robbins Arroyo LLP: Funko, Inc. (FNKO) Misled Shareholders According to a Recently Filed Class Action


Shareholder rights law firm Robbins Arroyo LLP announces that purchasers of Funko, Inc.

Funko Accued of Suspicious Accounting Practices



According to the complaint, the Funko "IPO saw the worst first-day return for a Wall Street IPO in 17 years, causing shares to drop a staggering 41% from their initial price of $12 to close at $7.07." Bloomberg (News - Alert) reported that experts suspect that the flop was due to Funko's accounting practices, noting that the company lost more than $10 million in the first half of 2017. The report also noted that despite Funko's assertion that an important measure of its income rose by 86% in its past two full years, the company's bottom line was up an average of just 16% in 2015 and 2016 and had turned negative lately. Funko's shares have yet to recover their IPO value, closing at only $8.26 per share on March 20, 2018.
