Controversy

The company behaves like a public company by selling stocks despite being a joint-stock. Its share price jumped from 2,000 to 100,000 Rials from 2009 to 2014. In January 2015, a prosecutor in Mashhad accused the company of a "fraud" worth $34.3 billion. Although the allegation was denied by the company's chairman, it resulted to a 20% share price value drop. The company is currently controversially under investigation by Iranian Judiciary.[1] The company is allegedly manipulating the shares.[2]
