Event Summary

Berger Montague PC filed a class action lawsuit against Zillow Group, Inc. on behalf of investors who purchased Zillow common stock from February 11, 2025 through May 7, 2026. The complaint alleges that Zillow failed to disclose that its February 2025 agreement with Redfin effectively transferred Redfin's multifamily rental advertising operations to Zillow and materially increased antitrust risk. On September 30, 2025, the FTC sued Zillow and Redfin, alleging an unlawful agreement that eliminated competition. On February 10, 2026, Zillow disclosed higher-than-expected legal expenses. On May 7, 2026, a federal court denied Zillow's and Redfin's motion to dismiss the FTC action. Zillow's stock price declined after each disclosure. The lead plaintiff deadline is August 10, 2026.
