However, on November 9, 2017, the first quarter after the merger, INC reported a net loss of $88.9 million, as well as impairment charges to the Company's intangible assets.  Analysts noted that the Company's fourth quarter guidance was "worrisome" given the challenges that inVentiv's business faced.

The lawsuit alleges that Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, and failed to disclose material adverse facts about INC's business, operations, and prospects, specifically regarding the merger and inVentiv.
