Moral hazard is the prospect that a party insulated from risk may behave differently from the way it would behave if it were fully exposed to the risk. A person's belief that they are responsible for the consequences of their own actions is an essential aspect of rational behavior. An investor must balance the possibility of making a return on their investment with the risk of making a loss – the risk-return relationship. A moral hazard can occur when this relationship is interfered with, often via government policy.

Bell did however continue with ethically questionable behaviour, which is said to have tarnished his legacy. He favoured some contractors over others, including granting of bus contracts to Leyland over the technically more advanced AEC.

Predatory pricing, also known as undercutting, is a pricing strategy where a dominant firm deliberately reduces prices of a product or service to loss- making levels in the short-term. The aim is that existing or potential competitors will be foreclosed from the market, as they will be unable to effectively compete with the dominant firm without making a loss. Once competition has been eliminated, the dominant firm can then raise prices to monopoly levels in the long-term to recoup their losses. Predatory pricing can cause consumer harm so is considered anti-competitive in many jurisdictions and is illegal under some competition laws.

For the entire life of the reconstructed B&NSR; Company, money had been short and the line had been worked by the GWR. From time to time negotiations had been opened with a view to selling the line to the larger company, and these were repeatedly fruitless. The B&NSR; had huge debts and was making a loss every year, and it is unlikely that the GWR would pay dearly to acquire it. The shareholders may have expected a sale price that would get them their money back; an unrealistic expectation that led them to reject an offer when the GWR made it in 1880, even though the Directors recommended acceptance.

In December 2017, the Competition & Markets Authority agreed to grant Centrica plc and Centrica Storage Limited's (CSL's) request to be released from the Rough Undertakings. CSL decided that it could no longer operate Rough as a storage facility as the facility was no longer capable of safe injection operations due to its age and condition and that due to the economics of seasonal storage, neither refurbishing or rebuilding the facility would be cost-effective. The British Gas brand lost 750,000 domestic customers in 2017 amid intense competition, contributing to a February 2018 announcement that 4,000 jobs would be cut. Centrica cut its dividend in July 2019, after making a loss of £446 million in the prior six months.

The RMS Queen Mary, which was making a loss in 1965, when Smallpeice took over as chairman. He would sell the vessel in 1967 and the RMS Queen Elizabeth in 1968 Smallpeice, upon leaving BOAC, spoke with his friend Kim Cobbold, the Lord Chamberlain about future career possibilities. He was advised to take a holiday and put his departure from BOAC behind him, whilst Cobbold would investigate what positions may be available for Smallpeice. Cunard Line, already familiar with Smallpeice as a result of the BOAC-Cunard venture, were quick to approach him. Sir John Brocklebank offered Smallpeice a board position with the shipping line in December 1963, during Smallpeice's last meeting as a BOAC representative on the BOAC-Cunard board.

In traditional light water reactors (LWRs) the core must be maintained at a high pressure to keep the water liquid at high temperatures. In contrast, since the IFR is a liquid metal cooled reactor, the core could operate at close to ambient pressure, dramatically reducing the danger of a loss-of-coolant accident. The entire reactor core, heat exchangers and primary cooling pumps are immersed in a pool of liquid sodium or lead, making a loss of primary coolant extremely unlikely. The coolant loops are designed to allow for cooling through natural convection, meaning that in the case of a power loss or unexpected reactor shutdown, the heat from the reactor core would be sufficient to keep the coolant circulating even if the primary cooling pumps were to fail.

In the United Kingdom the wagonload system was reduced by the consequences of the implementation of the The Reshaping of British Railways report. Cuts to the system included the closure of marshalling yards (reduced by over one third by 1965), and 60% of freight stations - though the initial cuts had no effect on volume of freight carried. Wagonload freight was still loss making in 1965 despite the closures - making a loss of £40 million (from a £54million loss in 1961). No improvement in profitability had been achieved by 1966, despite the economies, and in part exacerbated by the cuts. In 1967 wagonload freight produced two thirds of British Rail's freight revenue. Further reductions of the systems were made, 4,000 miles of line were closed between 1965 and 1973.

FT Predict is a prediction market contest hosted by the Financial Times that allows users to buy and sell contracts based on future financial, political, and news-driven events by spending fictional Financial Times Dollars (FT$). Based on the assumptions displayed in James Surowiecki's The Wisdom of Crowds, this contest allows people to use prediction markets to observe future occurrences while competing for weekly and monthly prizes. The Financial Times also ran a business-related game called "In the Pink" (a phrase meaning "in good health", also a reference to the colour of the newspaper and to the phrase "in the red" meaning to be making a loss). Each player was put in the virtual role of Chief Executive and the goal was to have the highest profit when the game closes.

The trains are leased from newly formed rolling stock company (ROSCO) QW Rail Leasing until 2027. TfL planned initially to buy the new fleet outright, but in February 2008 announced that it would lease the trains in order to free up the £250 million capital cost of purchase, combined with reducing the risk of making a loss through any future sell-on of the fleet. Eight two-car Class 172/0 units, leased from Angel Trains, were ordered on behalf of TfL in November 2007, and entered service in 2010. These were originally restricted to a top speed of as opposed to their intended design speed of , as it was thought there was a fault with the exhaust system requiring modifications to the original design and the already procured units.

Another route that was not attracting as many passengers as hoped was from the Floating Bridge to Tanners Brook, which was withdrawn in March 1921. The Corporation was making a loss on these bus services so a major change was needed and in 1921, new buses were bought; these being Leyland chassis "E" Type which the Corporation fitted with a single deck body with a front entrance, thereby distinguishing it from the open top buses that were previously used. The single deck buses proved their worth on the Clock Tower to Winchester Road route. In 1925, more new buses were ordered and the name was changed from 'Southampton Corporation Tramways' to the 'Southampton Corporation Motor Service', and also a new livery was added to the fleet, consisting of blue upper and lower panels, divided by a white waist rail.

Hodcroft has also had outspoken views regarding football agents and has refused to co- operate with agents, "if you want to work for us then don't send your agents." Hodcroft also pursued a feud with Michael Nelson's agent following his demands for a more lucrative contract and stated that the club will not be held to ransom, "If individual players or their agents do not like the way we do business then they will either have to adapt or find a club that is willing to succumb to their demands." After taking the club over, Ken Hodcroft and IOR made substantial losses. At the club's AGM meeting Hodcroft reported a loss of £184,000 for the financial year of 2005.

Shareholders were concerned about accounting irregularities and cashflow deficiency: according to Bright Packaging's filings to the stock exchange, the company posted profit of $2.7 million in 2011, of which 1.15 million stemmed from disposal of assets."Bernama". The Star, 28 January 2013. Shareholders also wanted the audit to ensure the board was executing its fiduciary duty and acted in the company's best interest given concerns of related party transactions involving the CEO and a related company, although the board explained the monies involved were interest-free advances given to Bright Packaging by its major shareholders when the company was making a loss."Bernama". The Star, 28 January 2013. Bright Packaging refuted the allegations of poor corporate governance and stated in a press release: “the board views these dramatised baseless allegations by the concerned minority shareholders as an act to discredit the directors and also to drum up support for the requisitionists to remove certain directors.”"Bright Packaging denies irregularities".

On 15 January 2019, Datalex issued a shock profit warning revealing it had misstated revenues in relation to a major customer (thought to be Lufthansa) in the first half of the previous year. Datalex warned that it expected to report an adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) loss of between $1m (€870,000) and $4m (€3.5m), compared with the consensus view among analyst for an almost $16m profit (€14.1m). This represents a difference of as much as $20m (€17.6m) and would result in the company making a loss for 2018. As a result of the announcement, Datalex's share price slumped by 59% the same day, its market value dropping from €191m to €78m. The profit alert came only eight weeks after Datalex issued a positive trading update, saying it had been performing in line with expectations up to 23 November 2018 and that it was “confident” about delivering double-digit percentage EBITDA growth for the full year. On 6 February 2019, Ireland's Central Bank opened an investigation into the company's November trading statement after Datalex appointed auditors PwC to review a possible accounting issue.
