US SEC sues Elon Musk over late disclosure of Twitter stake

[hfe_template id='11223'] [ad_1]
Elon Musk was sued on Tuesday by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for having failed to timely disclose purchasing more than 5% of Twitter's common stock in March 2022.

In a complaint filed in Washington, D.C., federal court, the SEC said the delay allowed Musk to continue buying Twitter shares at artificially low prices, allowing him to underpay by at least $150 million.


The SEC wants Musk to pay a civil fine and disgorge profits he was not entitled to.

Alex Spiro, a lawyer for Musk, in an email said: "Mr. Musk has done nothing wrong and everyone sees this sham for what it is."


An SEC rule requires investors like Musk to disclose within 10 calendar days when they cross a 5% ownership threshold.

The SEC said Musk did not disclose his stake until April 4, 2022, 11 days after the deadline, by which time he owned more than 9% of Twitter's shares. Twitter's share price rose more than 27% following that disclosure, the SEC said. Musk eventually purchased Twitter for $44 billion in October 2022, and renamed it X.

India VIX jumps 100% in one month. Could fear levels take Nifty further down?

Image
[hfe_template id='11223'] [ad_1] Volatility in Indian equity markets has surged sharply over the past month, with the India VIX nearly doubling as geopolitical tensions and global uncertainty triggered aggressive selling in equities. India VIX, often referred to as the market’s fear gauge, has jumped close to 100% over the past month, reflecting growing nervousness among investors. The spike has coincided with a sharp correction in the broader market, with the Nifty 50 declining about 8% during the same period. The escalation of tensions involving the United States, Israel and Iran has intensified market anxiety in recent days, pushing crude oil prices sharply higher and triggering a global risk-off sentiment. However, analysts note that volatility had already been building even before the conflict escalated, reflecting broader concerns around global growth, foreign capital outflows and stretched valuations in equities. The heightened uncertainty translated into a sharp ...

Can Sensex, Nifty snap 2-day fall on Monday? 7 factors that could decide market mood this week

Image
[hfe_template id='11223'] [ad_1] Benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty ended the week on a bearish note, closing over a percent lower each as a deepening selloff in IT stocks rattled investor sentiment amid mounting fears of AI-led disruption. Further, stronger-than-expected jobs data for January dampened hopes of a US Fed interest rate cut. Here are 7 factors that could decide market action in the coming week: 1.) Infosys, Wipro ADRs rebound - After a brutal two-day selloff that saw Infosys and Wipro ADRs plunge as much as 14.5%, Friday’s session brought a much-needed breather. Bargain hunting kicked in at lower levels, sparking a sharp rebound as Infosys climbed 3% while Wipro gained 4%—helping both stocks close the week on a far stronger note. International brokerage firm JP Morgan has a message for panic-stricken investors: IT services firms are the indispensable "plumbers of the tech world" and their dividend yields have now hit levels last seen only during ...
