FAQ

Why Very Bearish?

The allegations of misleading statements and the significant stock price drops indicate a severe loss of investor trust, similar to cases in historical class actions where stock prices fell significantly after claims emerged. For instance, companies such as Enron and Lehman Brothers suffered catastrophic declines post-scandal, emphasizing the potential for IBTA to face a similar fate.

How important is it?

The litigation could significantly affect investor sentiment and stock stability, with potential for payouts or compensation shaping market perceptions of IBTA as a viable investment. The severity of the allegations and historical trends suggests considerable implications for the company's future.

Why Short Term?

The immediate effects of the lawsuit and stock price decline will likely resonate shortly as investors react to news, similar to past instances where legal troubles quickly impacted stock values. The deadline for lead plaintiff suggests urgency and impending market reactions could worsen stock performance in the near term.

[You may also click here for additional information] NEW YORK, June 02, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP, a leading national securities law firm, is investigating potential claims against Ibotta, Inc. (“Ibotta” or the “Company”) (NYSE: IBTA) and reminds investors of the June 16, 2025 deadline to seek the role of lead plaintiff in a federal securities class action that has been filed against the Company. Faruqi & Faruqi is a leading national securities law firm with offices in New York, Pennsylvania, California and Georgia. The firm has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors since its founding in 1995. See www.faruqilaw.com. As detailed below, the complaint alleges that the Company and its executives violated federal securities laws by making false and/or misleading statements and/or failing to disclose risks concerning Ibotta's contract with The Kroger Co. ("Kroger"). Kroger's contract was at-will, and Ibotta failed to warn investors that a large client could cancel their contract with Ibotta without warning. Despite providing a detailed explanation of the terms of Ibotta's contract with another large customer, there was not a single warning of the at-will nature of Kroger's contract. Rather than disclosing the very real risk of a major client walking away at any time, Ibotta provided boilerplate warnings concerning the importance of maintaining ongoing relationships with their clients. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages. On or around April 13, 2024, Ibotta conducted its initial public offering of 6.6 million shares priced at $88.00 per share. Then, on August 13, 2024, Ibotta issued a press release reporting its financial results for the second quarter of 2024. In the results, Ibotta reported, among other items, a net loss of $34.0 million, attributable to operating expenses that more than doubled year-over-year. Ibotta also provided a third quarter revenue forecast in the range of $91 million to $96 million, below consensus estimates. Following this news, Ibotta stock dropped $15.53 per share, or 26%, to close at $42.66 on August 14, 2024. On February 26, 2025, after market hours, Investing.com published an article entitled "Ibotta shares plunge 30% as Q4 earnings miss, Q1 guidance disappoints." This article stated, in pertinent part, that Ibotta "saw its shares tumble [. . .] after reporting fourth-quarter earnings that fell short of expectations and providing weak guidance for the first quarter of 2025." Following this news, Ibotta stock dropped $29.08 per share, or 46%, to close at $34.01 on February 27, 2025. The court-appointed lead plaintiff is the investor with the largest financial interest in the relief sought by the class who is adequate and typical of class members who directs and oversees the litigation on behalf of the putative class. Any member of the putative class may move the Court to serve as lead plaintiff through counsel of their choice, or may choose to do nothing and remain an absent class member. Your ability to share in any recovery is not affected by the decision to serve as a lead plaintiff or not.   Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP also encourages anyone with information regarding Ibotta’s conduct to contact the firm, including whistleblowers, former employees, shareholders and others.
