Event Summary

Zillow Group, Inc. is facing multiple legal challenges, including a class action lawsuit filed by Rosen Law Firm and an investigation by Scott and Scott Attorneys at Law LLP. These actions stem from a lawsuit filed by the United States — Federal Trade Commission on September 30, 2025, which alleged that Zillow and Redfin engaged in an unlawful agreement to suppress competition in the rental advertising market. The class action lawsuit, filed on behalf of Zillow investors, claims that Zillow issued materially false and misleading statements regarding its business operations and its agreement with Redfin. Following the FTC's announcement, Zillow's Class C stock experienced a 4.6% decline. The legal proceedings are ongoing, with investors being encouraged to join the class action to recover losses.
