Klarna IPO Investors Urged to Seek Lead-Plaintiff Role as New York Securities Case Proceeds

The filings center on claims that Klarna downplayed near-term loan-loss risks tied to its buy-now-pay-later business.

Overview

  • The putative class action, filed in the Eastern District of New York as Nayak v. Klarna Group plc, challenges statements in the September 2025 registration materials.
  • Notices from Kahn Swick & Foti, DJS Law Group, and Faruqi & Faruqi set a February 20, 2026 cutoff to move for lead-plaintiff appointment.
  • Plaintiffs allege the IPO documents understated the likelihood that loss reserves would rise within months, given the BNPL borrower risk profile.
  • A November 18, 2025 earnings report showed $235 million in credit-loss provisions, 0.72% of GMV, and a net loss near $95 million, after which shares fell about 9.3%.
  • The litigation remains at the pre-certification stage, with firms also soliciting information from shareholders, whistleblowers, and former employees.
