Nextdoor Holdings, Inc.

On March 1, 2022, Nextdoor released its fourth quarter and full year 2021 financial results, reporting an 18% decline in revenue growth and a 26% decline in average revenue per weekly active user (“ARPU”) growth. On this news, Nextdoor’s stock price fell $0.85, or 13.6%, to close at $5.39 per share on March 4, 2022, thereby injuring investors.

Then on November 8, 2022, Nextdoor disclosed that revenues during the third quarter of 2022 declined sequentially by $1 million and that the Company’s quarterly ARPU growth contracted by 12% compared to the prior year quarter. On this news, Nextdoor’s stock price fell approximately 11% to close at $2.06 per share on November 9, 2022, thereby injuring investors further.

The complaint filed in this class action alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants failed to disclose to investors: (1)  that Nextdoor’s financial results prior to the Merger had been temporarily inflated by the ephemeral effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, which had pulled forward demand for Nextdoor’s platform and cannibalized future advertising revenue growth; (2) that, rather than being sustained, such growth trends had already begun reversing at the start of the Class Period; (3) that Nextdoor’s total addressable market was materially smaller than the 312 million households represented to investors; (4) that, by the start of the Class Period, Nextdoor’s most important market – the U.S. market – was already substantially saturated, impairing the Company’s ability to monetize users and increase its ARPU or U.S. WAUs; and (5) as a result, Defendants’ positive statements about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.
