MacMahon v. Stride Filed in Virginia as Investors Face Jan. 12 Lead‑Plaintiff Deadline
The suits allege inflated enrollment and a botched platform upgrade that preceded a one-day 54% stock plunge.
Overview
- Plaintiffs confirm a securities class action pending in the Eastern District of Virginia, captioned MacMahon v. Stride, Inc., No. 1:25-cv-02019, asserting claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a).
- The putative class covers purchases from October 22, 2024, to October 28, 2025, and investors have until January 12, 2026, to seek appointment as lead plaintiff.
- Multiple firms, including Bleichmar Fonti & Auld, Hagens Berman, Portnoy Law Firm, and Glancy Prongay & Murray, are soliciting investors and whistleblowers for information relevant to the case.
- An earlier complaint from Gallup‑McKinley County Schools alleging “ghost students” and compliance failures preceded an approximately 11% drop in Stride’s shares in mid‑September 2025.
- On October 28, 2025, Stride disclosed “poor customer experience” tied to a platform upgrade and estimated 10,000–15,000 fewer enrollments, which was followed by a roughly 54% one‑day stock decline.
