Hagens Berman has alerted investors in PicS N.V. that a securities class action lawsuit has been filed over alleged misrepresentations in the company's initial public offering disclosures, with a lead plaintiff deadline of August 4, 2026. The lawsuit claims that PicS and certain executives and underwriters failed to disclose in IPO offering documents that an internal review in December 2025 found historical credit evaluation policies deficient, masking a deterioration in customer credit quality and a spike in non-performing loans. After the January 30, 2026 IPO, PicS shares fell 22.5% on March 19, 2026 following disclosure of pre-IPO credit procedure deficiencies and R$590 million in Stage 3 loan reclassifications, and later dropped over 50% from the $19.00 IPO price as defaults escalated. The firm is investigating whether IPO documents misled investors by promoting rapid credit expansion and AI-driven underwriting while omitting internal data showing portfolio degradation.
