BigBear.ai Holdings Faces Securities Fraud Class Action: What Investors Need to Know

Overview of the Class Action Against BigBear.ai

On April 21, 2025, Berger Montague PC announced a significant development regarding BigBear.ai Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: BBAI). A securities class action lawsuit has been filed on behalf of investors who acquired BigBear's securities between March 31, 2022, and March 25, 2025. This litigation arises from troubling financial disclosures that have recently surfaced, leading to a notable decline in the company's stock price.

Company Background

BigBear.ai, headquartered in McLean, Virginia, specializes in artificial intelligence technologies. The firm focuses on solutions in national security, supply chain management, and digital identity as well as biometrics. In late 2021, BigBear.ai completed a merger with GigCapital4, a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC), which provided a major boost to its market standing. Following the merger, BigBear raised $200 million through convertible notes scheduled to mature on December 15, 2026.

Recent Developments

On March 18, 2025, BigBear released a statement indicating that specific financial statements dating back to the fiscal year 2021 would require restatement due to improper accounting practices involving the 2026 Notes. Following this announcement, investors reacted strongly, resulting in an immediate stock price drop of 14.9%, closing at $2.97 per share. This incident raised alarms regarding the firm’s financial integrity and internal control systems.

Subsequently, on March 25, another 10-K filing revealed more concerning issues. It uncovered that a conversion option embedded in the 2026 Notes was misclassified under the ASC 815-15 guidelines, leading to errors in financial reporting. Following this disclosure, BigBear’s stock further declined, closing at $3.19, a 9.11% drop from the previous day.

Investor Actions

Investors who purchased BigBear's securities during the defined class period have until June 10, 2025, to apply to become the lead plaintiff in this class action. This role is vital as the lead plaintiff represents the interests of all class members in court and selects legal representation. Being a lead plaintiff can be a significant responsibility, and investors need not communicate directly with legal counsel to participate in potential recoveries.

Legal Representation

If you or someone you know has invested in BigBear.ai during the class period, it is essential to understand your rights and options moving forward. You can find more information about the lawsuit through Berger Montague. Senior Counsel Andrew Abramowitz can be contacted at (215) 875-3015 or through email for further inquiries.
