Announces Investigation of Conn's, Inc.WAYNE, Pa. --(Business Wire)-- Goldman Scarlato Karon & Penny, P.C. is investigating potential claims on behalf of investors who purchased Conn's, Inc. ("Conn's or the "Company") (NASDAQ: CONN) stock between April 3, 2013 and February 19, 2014, inclusive (the "Class Period"). The investigation concerns whether Conn's and certain of its officers and/or directors violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 in connection with statements regarding the Company's financial performance and prospects. Specifically, the Firm is investigating Conn's underwriting and collection practices, the risk of bad debt that might have resulted there from, and whether the Company failed to disclose those practices to investors. The Firm is also investigating whether Conn's failed to disclose rising customer deinquencies and charge-off rates in its credit segment. On February 20, 2014, Conn's reported disappointing quarterly results and lowered its earnings guidance, attributing the decline to a rise in customer delinquencies and charge-offs.
