Shares of footwear maker Skechers USA Inc. (NYSE: SKX) were halted at 10:27 a.m. ET this morning. The company, based in Manhattan Beach, California, may be the second firm from which KPMG resigned as a result of the insider trading report the auditing firm released last night.
Earlier this morning, shares of nutritional food maker and multilevel marketer Herbalife Ltd. (NYSE: HLF) were halted at opening amid speculation that its shares also were involved in the insider trading scheme.
So far there has been no announcement from either Skechers or Herbalife.
