Wix investors told they may seek lead plaintiff status in securities suit
Schall, Brown & Schwartz LLP said Wix investors may seek lead plaintiff status in a securities lawsuit that accuses the company of misleading statements about AI products and costs.
Schall, Brown & Schwartz LLP said Monday that investors who bought Wix.com Ltd. shares during a Feb. 19, 2025, to May 12, 2026, class period may seek lead plaintiff status in a securities class action against the company.
According to the firm’s press release, the complaint accuses Wix of making false and misleading statements about its artificial intelligence products and related costs. The allegations have not been adjudicated.
The release says the complaint cites Section 10(b), Section 20(a) and SEC Rule 10b-5 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. It alleges that Wix overstated the consumer appeal and competitiveness of its AI products, including the Wix Harmony platform and the Base44 acquisition, and misled investors about the cost of building and marketing those products.
The release says the company’s public statements were false and materially misleading throughout the class period and that investors suffered damages when the market learned the truth. It does not provide a court ruling or a finding on the merits.
The notice also says lead plaintiff status is not required to participate in any recovery, and that the class has not yet been certified. Until certification occurs, absent class members are not represented by an attorney, the release says.
Schall, Brown & Schwartz provided contact information for Brian Schall and David Schwartz at 2049 Century Park East, Suite 2460, Los Angeles, CA 90067. The firm listed a phone number, website and email address in the release.
What happens next will depend on how the case proceeds in court and whether shareholders contact the firm about possible lead plaintiff appointments.
