On July 26, 2022, Glasshouse Research published a report detailing how its โanalysis on [Mercury Systems] will reveal how management has used accounting gimmicks to obfuscate true economic earnings while concealing the decay of its core company.โ Specifically, the report stated that the Companyโs management has โprematurely recognized revenue on significant projects boosting both revenue and earnings unsustainablyโ while also using recent acquisitions to conceal true earnings โwith material non-GAAP exclusions,โ and that the Companyโs free-cash-flow is โgrossly overstated as the company has been stifling its vendors to conserve cash.โ On this news, the price of Mercury shares declined by $4.87 per share, or approximately 7.84%, from $62.13 per share to close at $57.26 on July 26, 2022.
