Law Offices of Howard G. Smith announces an investigation on behalf of CSX Corporation (“CSX” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: CSX) investors concerning the Company’s possible violations of federal securities laws.

On August 5, 2024, CSX announced it had “identified misstatements between the balance sheet and operating expense in previously issued financial statements” after the Company “completed a review of the accounting treatment for engineering scrap and certain engineering support labor.”

Then on October 17, 2024, CSX revealed it had received a subpoena from the Enforcement Division of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") requesting information relating to, among other things, the accounting restatement disclosed in the Company’s August 5, 2024 10-Q. The Company further revealed it “has also been responding to information requests by the SEC related to certain of the Company’s non-financial performance metrics.”

On this news, the Company’s share price fell as much as 5.8% during intraday trading on October 17, 2024, thereby injuring investors.

If you purchased CSX securities, have information or would like to learn more about these claims, or have any questions concerning this announcement or your rights or interests with respect to these matters, please contact Howard G. Smith, Esquire, of Law Offices of Howard G. Smith, 3070 Bristol Pike, Suite 112, Bensalem, Pennsylvania 19020 by telephone at (215) 638-4847 or by email to howardsmith@howardsmithlaw.com, or visit our website at www.howardsmithlaw.com.
