What happened
Block & Leviton is investigating FMC Corporation for potential securities law violations concerning whether the company misled investors about unsold, higher-priced product held by distributors. On October 15, 2026, FMC Corporation announced expected quarterly revenue of $65 million to $125 million and an Adjusted EBITDA loss of $510 million to $565 million. These results included charges of $625 million to $675 million due to price cuts and changes in US sales and pricing. The investigation relates to the company's July 30, 2026 earnings call, where the CEO reportedly blamed weak sales on weather and geopolitics without mentioning the inventory problem.
