Event Summary

Pomerantz LLP is investigating claims against Bakkt, Inc. for alleged securities fraud and unlawful business practices. This investigation was prompted by Bakkt's announcement of its first-quarter 2026 financial results on May 11, 2026, which significantly missed consensus estimates for both GAAP EPS and revenue. Bakkt reported an EPS of -$0.41, falling short of the -$0.10 estimate, and revenue of $243.6 million, well below the $310.9 million estimate. These disappointing results led to a 10.58% drop in Bakkt's stock price on May 12, 2026, closing at $8.87 per share. Danielle Peyton is the contact for investors interested in joining the potential class action.
