Investigations Launched into Landstar, EchoStar, and ADTRAN Over Securities Concerns
New York, Tuesday, 17 June 2025.
Bragar Eagel & Squire is investigating Landstar, EchoStar, and ADTRAN for potential securities law violations, raising investor fears amid a climate of increased regulatory scrutiny.
Background of the Investigation
On June 16, 2025, Bragar Eagel & Squire, P.C., a leading shareholder rights law firm, announced its investigation into potential securities law violations involving several major companies, including Landstar System, Inc. (NASDAQ:LSTR), EchoStar Corporation (NASDAQ:SATS), and ADTRAN Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:ADTN). These investigations are grounded in allegations of corporate misconduct which have already impacted stock prices and investor confidence [1].
Landstar’s Ongoing Challenges
Landstar System, Inc. reported significant disruptions due to a large-scale supply chain fraud detected on April 2, 2025. This incident is estimated to negatively impact its first quarter earnings per share by $0.35 to $0.50, causing the company to withdraw its prior earnings guidance [1]. Consequently, Landstar announced the delay in filing its quarterly report as the company continues to assess its accounting and internal controls [1].
EchoStar Under Regulatory Scrutiny
EchoStar Corporation experienced a major decline in its stock price, losing $4.01 per share which equates to a 16.6% decrease, following the Federal Communications Commission’s notice of an investigation into its adherence to federal 5G network development requirements [1]. This compliance issue highlights concerns about EchoStar’s operational integrity amidst heightened regulatory expectations.
ADTRAN’s Financial Reporting Dilemma
ADTRAN Holdings, Inc. is facing challenges with accuracy and reliability in its financial reporting. The company recently disclosed its inability to timely file audited consolidated financial statements for fiscal years 2024 and 2023, as well as unaudited financial statements for the first quarter of 2025 [1]. This follows revelations of material weaknesses in internal controls, further complicating ADTRAN’s financial transparency.
