Event Summary

Sportradar Group AG is facing multiple securities class action lawsuits filed by law firms including Hagens Berman, Pomerantz LLP, and Kahn Swick & Foti. These lawsuits allege that Sportradar misrepresented and failed to disclose that it intentionally worked with black-market gambling operators to increase revenues, despite assurances of strict legal and regulatory compliance. The allegations stem from critical reports published by Muddy Waters Research and Callisto Research on April 22, 2026, which accused Sportradar of aiding illegal gambling and having a significant portion of its revenue derived from unlicensed operators. Following these reports, Sportradar's stock price fell by 22.6%, wiping out over $800 million in market capitalization. The lawsuits seek to represent investors who purchased Sportradar Class A ordinary shares between November 7, 2024, and April 21, 2026, with a lead plaintiff deadline of July 17, 2026. The case is pending in the United States — United States District Court for the Northern District of California.
