Event Summary

Faruqi & Faruqi, a national securities law firm, is investigating and has filed a federal securities class action lawsuit against PubMatic. The lawsuit alleges that PubMatic and its executives, including Steven Pantelick and Rajeev Goel, made false and misleading statements to investors between February 27, 2025, and August 11, 2025. Specifically, the complaint states that PubMatic failed to disclose that a top DSP buyer was shifting clients to a new platform, leading to a reduction in ad spend and revenue. Following the release of PubMatic's second-quarter 2025 financial report on August 11, 2025, which revealed these issues, PubMatic's stock price fell by 21.1%. Investors who suffered losses are encouraged to contact Faruqi & Faruqi by the October 20, 2025, deadline to seek the role of lead plaintiff.
