Double Blow for Billionaire Shetty With NMC Shorts, Finablr Drop - Bloomberg

Double Blow for Billionaire Shetty With NMC Shorts, Finablr Drop - Bloomberg:

Bavaguthu Raghuram Shetty is having a bad year in the stock market.

Persian Gulf hospital operator NMC Health Plc, where he’s co-chairman and a major shareholder, has plunged as short sellers targeted the company amid concern its governance is lacking, it’s taken on too much debt for acquisitions and its accounting is too opaque. Shares of Finablr Plc, the payments processor he founded, are trading below their initial public offering price since the company listed in London last month.

The double whammy comes amid growing investor unease with indebted, acquisitive companies, in the case of NMC, and, for Finablr, mounting competition for financial services such as payments and currency exchange.
