Partner Reed Kathrein Scrutinizing Allegedly Omitted Known Trends in Vendor Payments
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 27, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — National shareholder rights law firm Hagens Berman is issuing a reminder to investors in StubHub Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: STUB) ahead of the January 23, 2026, deadline of their opportunity to seek appointment as lead plaintiff in the pending securities class action lawsuit.
The litigation centers on allegations that StubHub’s highly anticipated September 2025 Initial Public Offering (IPO) was launched using Offering Documents that contained material misstatements and omissions. Specifically, the lawsuit alleges the company failed to disclose crucial “known trends, events, or uncertainties” that were already adversely impacting its Free Cash Flow (FCF)—a key liquidity metric touted to prospective investors.
“This litigation focuses alleged violations of the Securities Act of 1933, which requires transparency for newly public companies. The complaint alleges that the Registration Statement was materially flawed because it failed to disclose the known trends regarding vendor payments, causing the stock to collapse shortly after the IPO,” said Reed Kathrein, the Hagens Berman partner leading the firm’s investigation in this matter. “We urge investors in StubHub who purchased or otherwise acquired company shares pursuant to the IPO to contact the firm now.”
Legal Analysis: Alleged Undisclosed Vendor Payment Trends and IPO Disclosure Failures
The complaint focuses on the alleged misrepresentations and omissions within the core offering documents, which led to a substantial loss of market capitalization:
- Securities Act of 1933 Liability: The lawsuit alleges the Registration Statement and Prospectus were materially flawed, making Defendants liable to investors who acquired shares pursuant to the IPO.
- Concealment of Known Trends: The Offering Documents allegedly failed to disclose adverse changes in the timing of payments to vendors—an alleged known trend that directly impacted liquidity.
- 143% Liquidity Collapse: The alleged omitted truth led to Q3 2025 results revealing Free Cash Flow was negative $4.6 million, marking a stunning 143% decline from the prior year. This revelation corrected the market’s perception of the company’s operational financial health.
- Investor Damages: This disclosure caused the stock to fall well below the IPO price resulting in compensable damages for investors who acquired shares traceable to the IPO.
