    The market price of our common stock may decline as a result of the Acquisition and the final outcomes of the regulatory and judicial reviews thereof.

    The market price of our common stock may decline as a result of the Acquisition and the final outcomes of the regulatory and judicial reviews thereof, and holders of our common stock could see a decrease in the value of their investment in our common stock, if, among other things, we are unable to achieve the expected growth in earnings, or if the anticipated benefits, including synergies, cost savings, innovation and operational efficiencies, from the Acquisition are not realized, or if the Acquisition and integration-related costs related to the Acquisition are greater than expected, or if, as a result of unfavorable outcomes of regulatory and judicial proceedings, we are subject to fines, penalties, restrictions or remedies, including divestiture remedies. The market price of our common stock may also decline if we do not achieve the anticipated benefits of the Acquisition as rapidly or to the extent expected by financial or industry analysts or if the effects of the Acquisition on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows are not otherwise consistent with the expectations of financial or industry analysts. In addition, some former GRAIL stockholders may decide not to continue to hold the shares of our common stock they receive as a result of the Acquisition, and any such sales of our common stock could have the effect of depressing their market price. Moreover, general fluctuations in stock markets could have a material adverse effect on the market for, or liquidity of, our common stock, regardless of our actual operating performance.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 3
    Conversion of our outstanding convertible senior notes may result in losses.

    As of January 2, 2022, we had $750 million aggregate principal amount of convertible senior notes due in 2023 outstanding. The notes are convertible into cash, and if applicable, shares of our common stock under certain circumstances, including trading price conditions related to our common stock. Upon conversion, we are required to record a gain or loss for the difference between the fair value of the notes to be extinguished and their corresponding net carrying value. The fair value of the notes to be extinguished depends on our current incremental borrowing rate. The net carrying value of our notes has an implicit interest rate of 3.7% with respect to the convertible senior notes due in 2023. If our incremental borrowing rate at the time of conversion is lower than the implied interest rate of the notes, we will record a loss in our consolidated statement of income during the period in which the notes are converted.

FAQ

What are “Risk Factors”?
Risk factors are any situations or occurrences that could make investing in a company risky. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) requires that publicly traded companies disclose their most significant risk factors. This is so that potential investors can consider any risks before they make an investment. They also offer companies protection, as a company can use risk factors as liability protection. This could happen if a company underperforms and investors take legal action as a result. It is worth noting that smaller companies, that is those with a public float of under $75 million on the last business day, do not have to include risk factors in their 10-K and 10-Q forms, although some may choose to do so.
How do companies disclose their risk factors?
Publicly traded companies initially disclose their risk factors to the SEC through their S-1 filings as part of the IPO process. Additionally, companies must provide a complete list of risk factors in their Annual Reports (Form 10-K) or (Form 20-F) for “foreign private issuers”. Quarterly Reports also include a section on risk factors (Form 10-Q) where companies are only required to update any changes since the previous report. According to the SEC, risk factors should be reported concisely, logically and in “plain English” so investors can understand them.
How can I use TipRanks risk factors in my stock research?
Use the Risk Factors tab to get data about the risk factors of any company in which you are considering investing. You can easily see the most significant risks a company is facing. Additionally, you can find out which risk factors a company has added, removed or adjusted since its previous disclosure. You can also see how a company’s risk factors compare to others in its sector. Without reading company reports or participating in conference calls, you would most likely not have access to this sort of information, which is usually not included in press releases or other public announcements. A simplified analysis of risk factors is unique to TipRanks.
