Event Summary

Kahn Swick & Foti, LLC (KSF) is reminding investors that the lead plaintiff deadline is August 10, 2026, in a securities class action lawsuit against Zillow Group, Inc. The suit, Breidert v. Zillow Group, Inc., et al., 26-cv-02016, is pending in the United States — United States District Court for the Western District of Washington. The complaint alleges that Zillow and certain executives failed to disclose material information during the Class Period (February 11, 2025 to May 7, 2026), including that Zillow's agreement with Redfin was actually an acquisition of Redfin's business, not a partnership, and that this exposed Zillow to heightened antitrust regulatory scrutiny and liability. Investors who purchased Zillow Class A or Class C common stock during the Class Period may seek to become lead plaintiff.
