Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP Investigates Potential Claims Against Open Lending Investors
Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP Investigates Open Lending Corporation
Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP, a prominent securities law firm based in the United States, is currently engaged in investigating potential claims related to Open Lending Corporation. This investigation pertains to investments made in the company between February 24, 2022, and March 31, 2025, with a critical deadline approaching on June 30, 2025, for investors looking to assume the role of lead plaintiff in a federal securities class action against the company.
Background of the Investigation
The firm has a storied history of representing investors and recovering significant amounts since its establishment in 1995. The recent focus on Open Lending comes amid claims that the company and its executives may have violated federal securities laws. Notably, it is alleged that the defendants made false or misleading statements and failed to disclose adverse facts relating to the company's business performance and prospects.
Specifically, concerns have arisen regarding Open Lending’s risk-based pricing models and profit share revenue, which were misrepresented and led to material discrepancies in the company’s financial health. Allegedly, loans from 2021 and 2022 were reported to be worth significantly less than expected, with further claims about the underperformance of loans from 2023 and 2024.
Impact on Investors
Open Lending faced severe repercussions following their announcement on March 17, 2025, when they postponed an earnings release and conference call. The stock price subsequently plummeted by 9.3%, indicating heightened investor concern and resulting losses. A few weeks later, when the company reported an alarming year-over-year increase in its Q4 2024 net loss, shares plummeted another 57.61% to close at $1.17 per share, amplifying investor distress.
Role of the Lead Plaintiff
In securities class actions, the lead plaintiff is typically a member of the class that has the largest financial stake in the matter and can adequately represent the interests of other investors. Those considering becoming lead plaintiffs can retain their existing legal rights regardless of their participation in the lead plaintiff process. Faruqi & Faruqi is open to hearing from investors who wish to discuss their potential claims or who may possess relevant information about Open Lending's operations.

The investigation launched by Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP underscores the importance of transparency and accountability in the financial practices of publicly traded companies like Open Lending Corporation.
