Lumber Liquidators shares are going nuts
Stock Market1 min read

Lumber Liquidators shares spiked by as much as 13% in trading on Monday following reports that a US judge accepted the company's plea agreement.

The hardwood flooring retailer is expected to pay $10 million on charges related to how it sourced its timber.

Lumber Liquidators had also requested a five-year probation sentence under several conditions, including that it does not commit another crime in that period and creates an Environmental Compliance Plan.
