KE Holdings Inc. (BEKE) Investigation:

The investigation focuses on the accuracy of BEKEs claims to operate Chinas leading integrated housing transaction platform. Specifically, BEKE has long touted to have the leading market share, measured by gross transaction value (GTV), in brokered housing transactions in China, and asserts its GTV growth rate vastly outperforms the underlying housing market.

BEKEs claims concerning its GTV growth came into question on Dec. 16, 2021, when analyst Muddy Waters issued a scathing report, contending BEKE is engaged in systemic fraud, inflating its new home sales GTV by over 126% and its commission revenues between 77 and 96%. After analyzing transaction data on BEKEs platform, Muddy Waters identified massive discrepancies between the transaction volumes, store count and agent count reported to investors. Muddy Waters then corroborated these discrepancies by spot-checking its findings through primary due diligence on BEKEs stores, including field interviews and site visits.

This news sent the price of KE Holdings shares sharply lower on Dec. 16, 2021.

Were focused on investors losses and determining whether BEKE has inflated its GTV metrics, said Reed Kathrein, the Hagens Berman partner leading the investigation.
