Lead-Plaintiff Deadline Nears in StubHub IPO Class Action

The suits focus on claims that StubHub’s IPO filings failed to flag vendor-payment timing shifts that later drove a sharp free-cash-flow drop disclosed in November.

Overview

  • Investors who bought shares pursuant or traceable to the September 17, 2025 offering have until January 23, 2026 to seek lead-plaintiff status in the S.D.N.Y. case.
  • Complaints allege the registration statement omitted known changes in the timing of payments to vendors that materially affected free cash flow, including trailing twelve months figures.
  • On November 13, 2025, StubHub reported free cash flow of negative $4.6 million, a 143% year-over-year decline, after which the stock fell about 21% and later traded as low as $10.31, roughly 56% below the $23.50 IPO price.
  • At least one action, Salabaj v. StubHub Holdings, Inc., No. 25-cv-09776 (S.D.N.Y.), names the company, certain executives and directors, and IPO underwriters under Securities Act claims.
  • Multiple law firms are recruiting IPO purchasers and inviting potential whistleblowers to contact them, and no class has been certified and the allegations remain unproven.
