Some reason could be auditor findings, restated numbers

long term debt maturing become short term debt.

receiveables written off.

best would be look at the footnotes or the explanations to financial statements.

or email the investors relations.

if the IR do not bother to answer, i would skip investing in the company altogether.

What platform do you use to get information about stocks in a table format for analysis that allows you to do comparison on financial fundamentals?

Is it an offence to allow my parent to use my debit card and change the account phone number to his/hers?
