Meta Financial Group IncInvestigation for potential securities law violations and missed earnings with surge in nonperforming loans.

Bragar Eagel & Squire, P.C. has launched an investigation into Pathward Financial, Inc. on behalf of its stockholders. The investigation concerns whether Pathward violated federal securities laws or engaged in other unlawful business practices. The inquiry follows Pathward's July 22, 2026 fiscal third-quarter results, which missed expectations and disclosed that nonperforming loans surged to $275.1 million, nearly triple analyst estimates, tied to specific problem loans including renewable-energy construction projects. The company also cut its fiscal 2026 earnings guidance, causing its stock price to fall $5.55 per share, or 6.26%, to close at $83.12 per share on July 23, 2026. The law firm encourages investors who purchased or acquired Pathward shares and suffered losses to contact partners Brandon Walker or Melissa Fortunato to discuss their legal rights.
