In November 2019, Canaan completed its initial public offering ("IPO"), selling 10 million American Depositary Shares ("ADSs") priced at $9.00 per share.  Then, on February 20, 2020, an investment analyst publishing under the pseudonym Marcus Aurelius published a short report entitled "Canaan Fodder."  The report alleged, among other things, that Canaan was engaged in several undisclosed related-party transactions that lacked economic substance, including the sale of $150 million worth of equipment to a small Hong Kong company with an undisclosed relationship with a significant Canaan shareholder. 

On this news, Canaan's ADS price fell $0.39 per share, or 6.83%, to close at $5.32 per share on February 20, 2020.  Since the IPO, Canaan's ADSs have traded as low as $4.40 per share, representing a decline of more than 51% from the offering price.
