Investor Alert: Marqeta, Inc.
Investors who acquired securities of
Marqeta, Inc. (NASDAQ: MQ) between
May 7, 2024, and
November 4, 2024, may wish to take notice of a potential class action lawsuit initiated by the law firm
Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd LLP. This legal action is currently seeking to appoint lead plaintiffs and offers a chance for affected investors to unite and claim their losses.
Background of the Lawsuit
The lawsuit, captioned as
Ford v. Marqeta, Inc. (Case No. 24-cv-08892) was filed in the Northern District of California. It alleges that Marqeta and some of its executives made misleading statements regarding the company's business operations and the regulatory challenges they faced. Investors are being urged to come forward, with a deadline of
February 7, 2025, to apply for the lead plaintiff position in this class action.
Key Allegations
The central claim against Marqeta involves allegations that the company significantly understated the challenges presented by regulatory scrutiny. This led Marqeta to lower its financial guidance for Q4 2024, revealing projections of only
10-12% net revenue growth and
13-15% gross profit growth. These figures represent a noticeable decrease from the previously expected growth of
16-18% net revenue and
22-24% gross profit growth.
An immediate impact of this lowered forecast was seen on
November 4, 2024, when Marqeta's stock price plummeted by over
42%, causing substantial losses for investors. The lawsuit effectively charges that the company’s management failed to disclose critical operational issues and made promises that they could not keep.
How to Get Involved
Investors who feel they have been impacted by these events are encouraged to step forward. The class action enables someone with the largest financial stake and who represents typical interests of the class to lead the effort in a legal proceeding. This ensures that all class members are adequately represented. Interested parties can provide their information to seek a lead plaintiff designation via the Robbins Geller website.
