Robbins LLP Alerts Stockholders on Class Action Against Match Group, Inc. Regarding Misleading Information
Class Action Notice Regarding Match Group, Inc.
On November 26, 2024, Robbins LLP announced the filing of a class action lawsuit on behalf of shareholders who acquired securities from Match Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: MTCH) between May 2, 2023, and November 6, 2024. This legal action arises from claims that Match Group misled investors regarding its business prospects, specifically pertaining to its popular platform, Tinder.
Background of the Case
Match Group, a major player in the digital connection space, manages several dating applications including Tinder and OkCupid. On November 6, 2024, the company released a Q3 shareholder letter that revealed a 9% decrease in Tinder's monthly active users, a trend that has persisted since the previous quarter. This revelation created significant concern among investors, as it fell short of expectations that the user base would improve.
Moreover, Match Group's revenue per payer failed to meet projections, while some newly tested features on Tinder had an adverse effect on subscription revenues. These mixed signals raised alarms about the company’s future earnings and led to speculation about whether the issues with Tinder would continue affecting Match Group's performance moving into Q4 2024.
As a result of these disclosures, the stock price of Match Group tumbled by $6.77 per share, representing a steep 17.8% decline, closing at $31.11 on November 7, 2024. The class action claims that this decline was a direct consequence of the company underestimating the challenges it faced, specifically pertaining to Tinder's user engagement and overall business health.
Legal Implications
Investors impacted by the decline in stock value due to misleading information may be eligible to join the class action against Match Group, Inc. Individuals who wish to act as lead plaintiffs must submit their applications by January 24, 2025. A lead plaintiff acts on behalf of other investors in directing the litigation. However, no individual needs to actively participate in the legal case to qualify for any settlement resulting from the litigation.
Robbins LLP emphasizes that fees for legal representation are contingent on the success of the case, and affected shareholders will not incur any fees upfront.
