A law firm says investors who lost money in UWM Holdings Corp. shares may seek to lead a securities fraud class action, with a court deadline of Oct. 13, 2026.

Glancy Prongay Wolke & Rotter LLP said in a PR Newswire release dated Aug. 21, 2026, that investors with losses in UWM Holdings Corporation may move to serve as lead plaintiff in a securities fraud class action lawsuit.

The firm said the court deadline to seek that role is Oct. 13, 2026, and that investors may choose their own counsel or take no action and remain absent class members if they bought securities during the class period.

According to the release, the complaint concerns purchases between March 9, 2026, and Aug. 5, 2026. The firm said the allegations include that defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements and failed to disclose material adverse facts about the company's business, operations and prospects.

The release says the complaint alleges UWM deviated from its traditional strategy of not hedging mortgage servicing rights and instead took a major hedge position. It also says the company allegedly over-hedged itself in anticipation of the Two Harbors transaction and that efforts to balance risk created excess hedging risk.

The notice says the positive statements at issue were allegedly misleading or lacked a reasonable basis. It also says no class has been certified yet.

The press release is a law-firm announcement and not a court filing or company statement. It provides contact information for investors seeking more information and says the firm has decades of experience, was named one of Law360's Securities Groups of the Year, and was ranked second in total investor recoveries by Institutional Shareholder Services Securities Class Action Services in 2025.

The notice says investors seeking to move the court to serve as lead plaintiff must do so by Oct. 13, 2026.
