Klarna Faces New Securities Class Actions Over IPO Disclosures as Law Firms Seek Lead Plaintiffs

Investor firms urge IPO buyers to seek lead-plaintiff roles before Feb. 20.

Overview

  • The Schall Law Firm announced a filed class action, DJS Law Group issued a reminder notice, and Hagens Berman notified investors of the pending case and lead-plaintiff process.
  • The proposed class covers investors who bought shares pursuant or traceable to Klarna’s Sept. 10, 2025 initial public offering.
  • Complaints allege the IPO registration statement and prospectus downplayed the likelihood of higher credit-loss reserves given Klarna’s customer mix and credit-risk modeling.
  • Plaintiffs cite Klarna’s Nov. 18, 2025 report showing a roughly 102% year-over-year jump in credit-loss provisions and a net loss, after which shares traded well below the $40 IPO price.
  • The litigation remains at an early stage with no certified class, and firms emphasize that appointment as lead plaintiff is optional for participation.
