Legal risk

(redirected from Legal Risks)

Legal risk

The risk associated with the impact of a defect in the documentation on cash flow or debt service.

Legal Risk

The potential loss that may occur to an investment as a result of insufficient, improperly applied, or simply unfavorable legal proceedings in the country in which the investment is made. For example, a country may have inadequate bankruptcy protection or, in an extreme circumstance, the government may be able to seize property without provocation. On the other hand, legal risk exists even in countries that operate under the rule of law: a court, for instance, may find against a company in a given lawsuit, creating a precedent for other companies with similar operations.

Morgan Stanley analyst James Faucette said being a Qualcomm (QCOM) shareholder has "always required a bit more mettle" given its history of political and legal risks, but he thinks that at current levels the stock is "still worth the noise." Faucette reduced his FY19 and FY20 estimates slightly because he no longer assumes Apple (AAPL) will refresh its portfolio to include more Qualcomm-based legacy models in late 2019 and most of FY20 and also to be more conservative in his assumption of Huawei's contribution.
