Berger Montague Files Class Action Against Lufax Holding Ltd. Over Alleged Misconduct in Financial Reporting

Investor Alert: Class Action Filed Against Lufax Holding Ltd.

Berger Montague PC, a nationally recognized law firm specializing in class actions, has taken a significant step by filing a class action lawsuit against Lufax Holding Ltd. This lawsuit involves investors who acquired Lufax American Depositary Shares (ADSs) during the specific time frame of April 7, 2023, to January 26, 2025. This legal action raises critical questions regarding Lufax's financial disclosures and internal controls, which the firm alleges are fundamentally flawed.

Overview of the Allegations

The lawsuit claims that throughout the designated Class Period, Lufax misrepresented important facts or neglected to disclose critical information that investors should have been aware of. Key allegations include two primary points: firstly, that Lufax did not maintain sufficient internal controls, and secondly, that various financial results reported by the company were materially inaccurate.

The issues came to a head on January 27, 2025, when Lufax announced plans to dismiss its auditor, PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC). PwC had raised serious concerns regarding Lufax’s financial transparency, particularly about related-party transactions. The firm indicated that its audit opinions for Lufax's 2022 and 2023 Annual Reports could no longer be trusted, marking a significant turning point in the scrutiny surrounding the company.

Following this announcement, the market reacted swiftly. On January 27, the price of Lufax's ADSs plummeted by $0.40—over a 13% drop—closing at $2.49 per share. This decline in share price continued into the following trading days, reflecting the growing alarm among investors.

Important Deadlines for Investors
