Class Action Lawsuit Filed Against Wix.com Ltd.

On August 13, 2026, Pomerantz LLP announced the initiation of a class action lawsuit against Wix.com Ltd. (NASDAQ: WIX) and several of its officers. The lawsuit, which has been filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois under docket number 26-cv-08852, seeks to represent a class of investors who purchased or acquired Wix securities between February 19, 2025, and May 12, 2026. The action arises from allegations that Wix and its executives breached federal securities laws. The plaintiffs are pursuing remedies under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as well as Rule 10b-5.

Investors who acquired shares of Wix during the specified Class Period are encouraged to reach out to the court by September 22, 2026, if they wish to be appointed as a Lead Plaintiff. Relevant documents, including a copy of the complaint, can be accessed at Pomerantz Law's website.

Email inquiries should include the investor's address, phone number, and the number of shares purchased.

Wix.com is recognized for its cloud-based web development platform, providing users with various tools to build and manage custom websites. The company has marketed itself as a leader in the field of AI-driven website solutions. In February 2025, the management emphasized Wix's unique AI technologies as a key advantage against competitors. The narrative continued with Wix's acquisition of Base44, a platform that simplifies app and website creation processes for users with no coding expertise. By January 2026, Wix launched Wix Harmony, envisioned as a premier AI site builder designed to facilitate automatic graphic design and content creation based on user preferences.

However, the lawsuit's complaint claims that throughout the Class Period, Wix's executives made materially false statements about the company’s capabilities and market position, leading investors to have an inflated sense of its competitiveness. Specifically, it alleges that:

• - Wix exaggerated the superiority of its AI-powered offerings when compared to those of its rivals.
• - The company downplayed the significant costs related to developing and marketing its AI products.
• - Consequently, the financial and commercial advantages of Wix's AI initiatives were overstated in public communications.

As a result, many public disclosures made by Wix during the Class Period are considered misleading. The reality began to surface on May 21, 2025, when Wix disclosed its first-quarter financial results. Although it reported a 12% year-over-year growth in bookings, its maintained revenue guidance for 2025 of $1.97 billion to $2 billion fell short of analysts’ expectations. This setback led to a significant drop in Wix's stock price of 16.18%, closing at $152.34 per share on the same date.

Subsequent earnings reports revealed ongoing challenges. On November 19, 2025, Wix reported negative financial impacts associated with the costs connected to the Base44 acquisition, revealing that these were undermining the benefits anticipated from its AI initiatives. Following this disclosure, Wix’s share price plummeted nearly 20% to close at $101.70. March 2026 saw further downgrades by analysts at JPMorgan and UBS, concerned about slowing revenue growth and diminished margin potential, causing additional declines in Wix’s stock price.

By May 2026, after releasing disappointing first-quarter results, including earnings and revenues below expectations and acknowledging delays in product innovation, Wix’s stock dropped to $55.32 per share following an alarming decline of 27.1%. This compounded damage to investor confidence, raising serious concerns about the company's viability and competitive positioning.
