NEW YORK, Jan. 23, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bragar Eagel & Squire, P.C., a nationally recognized shareholder law firm, is investigating potential claims against Live Nation Entertainment, Inc. (NYSE: LYV), Opera Limited (NASDAQ: OPRA), Landec Corporation (NASDAQ: LNDC), and Blucora, Inc. (NASADQ: BCOR) on behalf of investors. Our investigation concerns whether these companies have violated the federal securities laws and/or engaged in other unlawful business practices. Additional information about each case can be found at the link provided.

Live Nation Entertainment, Inc. (NYSE: LYV)
On December 13, 2019, the Wall Street Journal reported that the U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”) was preparing to take legal action against Live Nation based on allegations that the company sought to “strong-arm” concert venues into using its market-dominant Ticketmaster subsidiary. Such efforts would violate the terms of a settlement agreement that Live Nation and Ticketmaster reached with the government in 2010 as a condition of their merger. Under that agreement, the DOJ allowed the companies to combine, but required them to abide by conditions meant to preserve competition in the music and ticketing industries.

On this news, Live Nation’s share price fell $5.09, or 7.3%, to close at $64.34 on December 13, 2019.

Then on January 9, 2020, the Wall Street Journal reported that Justice Department antitrust enforcers submitted a court filing on January 8, 2020, stating that the filing, “chronicles instances in which six unnamed venues said they were told that retaining the services of a Ticketmaster competitor would lead the concert-promotion giant to stop booking acts at those venues. Some of the venues said Live Nation retaliated against them for opting to use a competing ticketing service.”

Opera Limited (NASDAQ: OPRA)

On January 16, 2020, Hindenburg Research (“Hindenburg”) released a report placing “a 12-month price target of $2.60 on Opera Limited (OPRA), representing a 70% downside.”  The report listed various issues, including, “Most of Opera's lending business is operated through apps offered on Google’s Play Store. In August, Google tightened rules to curtail predatory lending and, as a result, Opera’s apps are now in black and white violation of numerous Google rules.” Hindenburg further stated, “Instead of disclosing to investors that its ‘high-growth’ microfinance segment could be imperiled by these new rules, Opera instead immediately raised $82 million in a secondary offering without disclosing Google's changes to investors.”

Following this news, Opera’s share price fell $1.69 per share on January 16, 2020, to close at $7.33 per share.
