Event Summary

Multiple law firms, including The Schall Law Firm, Bragar Eagel & Squire, P.C., DJS Law Group, Pomerantz LLP, Rosen Law Firm, and Bronstein, Gewirtz & Grossman, LLC, have filed or are encouraging investors to join class action lawsuits against Upstart Holdings, Inc. The lawsuits allege that Upstart Holdings made false and misleading statements to the market regarding its 'Model 22' AI. Specifically, it is claimed that Model 22 frequently overreacted to negative macroeconomic signals, leading to an overstatement of its accuracy and propensity to increase loan approval rates. This allegedly resulted in Model 22's overly conservative assessment of credit and macroeconomic conditions, negatively impacting Upstart Holdings' revenue results and rendering its previously issued full-year 2025 revenue guidance unreliable. The truth reportedly emerged on November 4, 2025, when Upstart Holdings reported disappointing Q3 2025 financial results and negatively revised its FY 2025 revenue guidance, blaming Model 22's overreaction to macroeconomic signals. Investors who purchased Upstart Holdings securities between May 14, 2025, and November 4, 2025, are encouraged to seek legal counsel before the June 8, 2026, lead plaintiff deadline.
