These Intelligize posts note companies identifying the government shutdown as a risk (e.g., Integrated Device Technology, Aimmune Therapeutics, Inc., Sentinel Energy Services) and in their earnings release forward-looking statements (e.g., Rollins Inc., Teledyne Technologies, Bank of America Corp). In that the recently signed stopgap spending bill, which reopens the government only through February 15th, poses a legitimate risk of another near-term shutdown, the posts are instructive as to (among other things) how companies are at least considering risks to the business associated with the shutdowns that may warrant disclosure in their SEC filings.
