Event Summary

Sportradar Group faces a securities class action lawsuit filed by Hagens Berman, representing investors who purchased shares between November 7, 2024, and April 21, 2026. The lawsuit follows critical reports published by activist short seller firms Muddy Waters Research and Callisto Research on April 22, 2026. These reports accuse Sportradar of misleading investors by intentionally working with black-market gambling operators to boost revenues, despite claiming strict legal and ethical compliance. The allegations led to a 22% collapse in Sportradar's shares and an $800 million loss in market capitalization. Hagens Berman is investigating these claims and encouraging affected investors and whistleblowers to come forward.
