Event Summary

A class action lawsuit has been filed against Zillow by Pomerantz LLP, alleging securities fraud related to an FTC antitrust complaint. The FTC sued Zillow and Redfin in September 2025 for allegedly agreeing to suppress competition in online rental listings, with Zillow paying Redfin $100 million to exit the market. Zillow's stock has fallen significantly on multiple disclosures, including the FTC complaint, elevated legal expenses, and a failed motion to dismiss the FTC lawsuit in May 2026. The class action seeks to represent investors who purchased Zillow securities during the class period.
