Klarna Group plc

On September 10, 2025, Klarna conducted its initial public offering (IPO), selling 34.3 million shares at $40 per share.

Then, on November 18, 2025, Klarna released its third quarter 2025 financial results, revealing that its provision for credit losses spiked by 39% due to “changes in . . . market and product mix,” and, “in particular an increased share of the U.S. market in [its] GMV [Gross Merchandise Volume].”

On this news, Klarna’s stock price fell $3.25, or 9.3%, to close at $31.63 per share on November 18, 2025, thereby injuring investors.

The complaint filed in this class action alleges that 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 that: (1) Defendants materially understated the risk that its loss reserves would materially go up within a few months of the IPO, which they either knew of or should have known of given the risk profile of many individuals agreeing to Klarnas buy now, pay later (BNPL) loans; and (2) 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.
