Event Summary

A class action lawsuit has been filed against Marqeta and its senior executives by Bleichmar Fonti & Auld LLP, alleging violations of federal securities laws. The lawsuit claims that Marqeta made misleading statements about its ability to attract and retain customers and its compliance infrastructure. These alleged misrepresentations came to light when Marqeta reported its third-quarter 2024 financial results on November 4, 2024, and cut its full-year 2025 growth outlook, citing 'heightened scrutiny of the banking environment and specific customer program changes.' This news caused Marqeta's stock price to drop over 42% in one day. Investors have until February 7, 2025, to seek appointment as lead plaintiff in the case, which is pending in the United States — United States District Court for the Northern District of California.
