Fluor (NYSE:FLR) restated its earnings for fiscal year 2019 following a review of the company’s accounting practices, and the results have FLR stock falling hard on Friday morning. This is due to revenue of $14.35 billion being way below Wall Street’s estimate of $16.39 billion. Also, the company’s adjusted losses per share of $10.87 was worse than analysts’ expectation for a loss of $10.29.
Additionally, the company reported GAAP per-share losses of $10.87 for the period.
