San Diego, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/02/2020 -- An investor, who purchased shares of Ryder System, Inc. (NYSE: R), filed a lawsuit over alleged violations of Federal Securities Laws by Ryder System, Inc. in connection with certain allegedly false and misleading statements.

Investors who purchased shares of Ryder System, Inc. (NYSE: R) have certain options and for certain investors are short and strict deadlines running. Deadline: July 20, 2020. NYSE: R investors should contact the Shareholders Foundation at mail@shareholdersfoundation.com or call +1(858) 779 - 1554.

Miami, FL based Ryder System, Inc. provides transportation and supply chain management solutions worldwide.

On October 29, 2019, the Company revealed that "our residual value estimates likely exceeded the expected future values that would be realized upon the sale of power vehicles in our fleet." As a result, Ryder significantly lowered the residual value of its trucking fleet and incurred $177 million in additional depreciation expense in the third quarter of 2019.

Then, on February 13, 2020, Ryder System, Inc. reported its fourth quarter and full year 2019 financial results.

Ryder also stated that, based on the significant reductions to the residual value of its fleet, it had incurred a total of $357 million in additional depreciation expense for 2019, as well as a loss of $58 million on the sale of used vehicles. Ryder System, Inc. also announced that, for 2020, it expected to incur an additional $275 million in depreciation expense on its fleet, and an additional $20 million estimated loss on used vehicle sales.

The plaintiff claims that between July 23, 2015, and February 13, 2020, the Defendants inflated Ryder's financial results by systematically overstating the residual value of its trucking fleet, that while Ryder repeatedly increased the expected residual values of its trucks, the actual amount Ryder was receiving from sales of used trucks had started to decline beginning in 2015, that nevertheless, the Company assured investors that it had been "conservative" in establishing the residual values of trucks in its fleet and "[w]e don't have a situation where we've got a bunch of vehicles that are at high residual values [and] have to be written down", and that as a result of Defendants' misrepresentations, shares of Ryder's common stock traded at artificially inflated prices between July 23, 2015, and February 13, 2020.

Those who purchased shares of Ryder System, Inc. (NYSE: R) have certain options and should contact the Shareholders Foundation.
