Sallie Mae Investors: An Opportunity for Legal Action

In an announcement made by Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd LLP, investors in SLM Corporation, also referred to as Sallie Mae, are urged to take action following significant financial losses. Between July 25, 2025, and August 14, 2025, those who held SLM securities have a chance to not just recoup their losses but to also spearhead a class action lawsuit against the company.

The lawsuit, titled Zappia v. SLM Corporation, No. 25-cv-18834 (D.N.J.), highlights allegations that SLM and several of its top executives violated the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Investors who faced substantial losses during the class period are encouraged to come forward and apply for lead plaintiff status in the case.

Financial Concerns Highlighted in the Lawsuit

According to Robbins Geller, the lawsuit arises from serious concerns regarding SLM’s financial practices. Allegations state that during the designated class period, SLM faced a troubling trend of increasing early-stage delinquencies that were not transparently disclosed to investors. It is claimed that SLM management overstated the effectiveness of their loss mitigation strategies and misrepresented the overall stability of their private education loan delinquency rates.

Particularly telling was a report issued by investment bank TD Cowen on August 14, 2025, which contradicted the optimistic projections presented by SLM’s Chief Financial Officer, Peter M. Graham. Instead of showing seasonal trends as claimed, the delinquencies shot up by 49 basis points compared to the preceding month, raising doubts about the firm’s stability. This discrepancy led to an approximate 8% drop in SLM's stock price as investors reacted to the troubling news.

The Role of the Lead Plaintiff

The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 allows any investor who had a stake in SLM securities during the specified class period to seek lead plaintiff status. This individual will represent the interests of all class members in the lawsuit and has the authority to select their legal representation. However, it is essential to note that participating as a lead plaintiff does not restrict other investors' ability to recover future losses from the lawsuit.

Robbins Geller, a prominent law firm known for representing investors in cases related to securities fraud, has been instrumental in achieving substantial recoveries for investors in the past. The firm has reported having recovered more than $2.5 billion for clients involved in similar securities-related lawsuits in 2024 alone, affirming its expertise in handling such matters.
