Mike Huckman, who follows the drug industry for CNBC, writes that the Bristol-Myers Squibb earnings press release that he believed Thursday was changed to clear up confusion about its earnings was really just a snafu at PR Newswire.
“PR Newswire can move hundreds of thousands of press releases a day during earnings season, but Mr. Armon says this is the first time–that he’s aware of–that the system wiped out a sixth bullet point from a corporate press release in the ‘Media Room.’
“The sixth ‘sub-head’ happened to be an important one about Bristol’s earnings per share. The complete version, he says, did reach over a million equity terminals and several thousand websites. But the ‘corrupted’ one appeared on Bristol’s web site. PR Newswire says it’s working to fix the I.T. snafu.”
