Pomerantz Law Firm Files Class Action Against Flywire Corporation Over Securities Violations
On September 18, 2025, Pomerantz LLP officially announced the filing of a class action lawsuit against Flywire Corporation, a well-known payments-enablement software company, and certain of its senior officers. This significant legal action, which is unraveled in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York, targets all individual and institutional investors who purchased or otherwise acquired Flywire securities during the designated class period running from February 28, 2024, to February 25, 2025. The essence of the lawsuit revolves around allegations that Flywire and its executives made misleading statements and omitted crucial details that significantly misrepresented the company's revenue robustness and financial viability.
Background of Flywire Corporation
Flywire, traded on NASDAQ under the ticker FLYW, has established itself as a major player in the payments and software sector, focusing largely on sectors with intricate payment requirements, such as education. It provides a cutting-edge platform tailored to streamline financial transactions between businesses and consumers across various industries. However, the company particularly excels in the education vertical, where revenue predominantly derives from international student enrollments.
As early as January 2024, mounting concerns emerged as the Canadian government introduced intake caps on international student permit applications, which adversely affected the influx of foreign students. Similarly, Australia tightened its international student visa regulations, creating further complications for Flywire's operations. Despite these market challenges, Flywire executives continued to assure investors of a favorable revenue outlook, resulting in claims of an ongoing strong fiscal health despite the evident market headwinds.
Allegations in the Class Action
The class action asserts that Flywire's representations regarding its business performance were embellished, significantly misleading its investors. Critical allegations include:
1. Overstated Revenue Growth: The defendants purportedly exaggerated the sustainability and robustness of Flywire’s revenue stream, leading investors to underestimate the impact of unfavorable external conditions.
2. Insufficient Disclosure of Risks: The company allegedly failed to adequately disclose the expected consequences of visa restrictions on its operational performance, leading stakeholders to miscalculate their risk exposure.
3. Manipulated Public Statements: On multiple occasions throughout the class period, executives made declarations regarding positive revenue forecasts, which failed to align with the deteriorating conditions that the company later acknowledged.
The complaint gained traction when Flywire released its fourth-quarter results in February 2025, which fell drastically short of market expectations, reporting a loss per share and significantly lower revenue than analysts had predicted. Esteemed analysts reacted swiftly, downgrading Flywire’s stock rating and reducing price targets, which irrevocably impacted its share price. Following the disappointing financial performance disclosure, Flywire's stock plummeted by over 37% in a single day, affirming the concerns that had been raised by the lawsuit.
