发生了什么事情?

德国支付公司Wirecard表示有20亿美元的资金消失,该公司的股价在上周下跌了超过70%。

这意味着什么?

做空者在多年来坚持认为Wirecard公司的股票估值过高:该公司账户中的部分信息不吻合。不过Wirecard公司一再反驳这些指控,使得许多反对的投资者保持沉默。

Wirecard公司目前第四次推迟发布其2019年年报,该公司还表示独立的会计师无法确实其声称拥有的21亿美元是否存在。两家据称持有Wirecard公司现金的亚洲银行在上周五否认该公司是银行的客户,其中一家公司暗示一名腐败的员工在过去替Wirecard公司伪造了文件。

在爆炸性消息流出后不久,Wirecard公司的CEO宣布辞职。

为何值得关注此事?

对于市场而言:还有很长的下跌在前方

Wirecard公司的股票在周四和周五暴跌,几乎没有人敢推测对于一度市值曾经超过德意志银行的这家德国科技新贵公司来说情况会有多糟糕。

更悲催的情况是,如果Wirecard公司无法找到丢失的现金,则可能需要获得23亿美元的贷款。投行摩根士丹利估计,排除丢失的数十亿美元后,Wirecard公司的账户中可能仅有2.5亿美元。

唯一受益于Wirecard公司股票暴跌的一群人就是上文提及的做空者。

更大的图景:该责怪谁?

公司的分析师经常会遇到这种情况:即便某个公司的财报看起来不对劲,也很难发表对该公司财报不利的观点;积极的分析看法往往意味着他们顾问同事会拥有更多的业务,也许分析师们没有发现Wirecard公司的情况也就毫不令人意外。

不过会计师事务所安永审核通过Wirecard公司此前财报的行为可能会受到严格的调查,尤其是在考虑到该事务所在今年所受到的其他利益冲突方面的调查情况下。
