Pomerantz Law Firm Informs Investors of Class Action Against Klarna Group PLC for Securities Fraud
In a significant development for investors, Pomerantz LLP has announced a class action lawsuit against Klarna Group PLC ('Klarna'), a leading player in the buy now, pay later industry. The lawsuit arises from allegations of securities fraud and other unlawful business practices that potentially affected a substantial number of investors who had purchased Klarna's securities during a critical period prior to significant stock price declines.
The class action specifically targets Klarna's officers and directors, asserting that they may have misled investors regarding the company's financial health and business practices. Investors experiencing losses from their Klarna investments are thus encouraged to reach out to Pomerantz for guidance on how to participate in the class action.
Investors have until February 20, 2026, to request appointment as Lead Plaintiff if they bought or obtained shares during the defined 'Class Period'. Those interested in pursuing this avenue can access further information, including the Complaints filed, through the Pomerantz website or by contacting the firm directly.
The foundation for this legal action can be traced back to Klarna's initial public offering (IPO) conducted on September 10, 2025, when 34,311,274 ordinary shares were introduced at a price of $40 each. However, subsequent disclosures about the company's financial status raised a number of red flags. Notably, on November 18, 2025, major financial news outlets reported that Klarna had posted a staggering net loss of $95 million and had to allocate more provisions for credit losses. This news triggered a significant decline in the company's share price.
The alarming reports suggested that Klarna had increased its provisions for credit losses, amounting to 0.72% of gross merchandise volume, compared to just 0.44% from the previous year. As of December 22, 2025, Klarna's stock plunged to $31.31, which is significantly below the IPO price of $40.
Moreover, articles published on the same day highlighted ongoing scrutiny over Klarna's business practices. Analysts pointed out that the company's customer demographic, often comprising younger individuals with lower financial security, posed inherent risks, including higher instances of loan defaults. This demographic trend has raised concerns about the sustainability of Klarna's buy now, pay later model, especially as it relates to customers carrying already substantial debt burdens.
