- Affected
- Ticker reports across the fixed 500-symbol research universe
- What was wrong
- Our research universe was assembled as a static list and was not re-validated against delistings and acquisitions. As a result, scheduled reports continued to be generated for securities that are no longer trading — including Fire & Flower Holdings Corp., which entered Canadian creditor-protection proceedings in 2023, and HEXO Corp., which was acquired by Tilray in 2023 and whose ticker was retired. Presenting a dead security as an active research subject is misleading regardless of what the report says.
- What we did
- We are auditing the full universe against current listing status, removing non-trading securities from the generation schedule, and de-indexing the affected reports. This entry will be updated with the completion date and the count of securities removed.
