During a 2 December 2016 business update, Bellamy’s Australia Ltd., an Australian food and beverage company known for its production of organic infant formula through its subsidiary, Bellamy Organic, cut its revenue projections for FY2017 from $350 million to $240 million. Following the announcement of its downgrading, Bellamy shares were suspended from quotation on the ASX at the company’s request, pending a further announcement regarding the impact of trading conditions in China on its financials for the 2017 fiscal year. Investors have brought claims against the beverage company surrounding its FY2017 revenue downgrading in December of last year.
