What Happened?
On April 18, 2024, Ibotta conducted its IPO, selling 2.5 million shares at $88.00 per share.
On August 13, 2024, after market hours, Ibotta released its second quarter 2024 financial results, revealing a net loss of $34 million, a 19% decline in direct-to-consumer redemptions, and a 7% reduction of direct-to-consumer redeemers. Additionally, despite being prominently featured in the Company’s Registration Statement, there was no mention of Kroger as Ibotta’s client in its quarterly report.
The price of Ibotta’s securities has plummeted since the IPO, devastating investors. As of April 17, 2025, Ibotta’s stock has traded significantly lower than the IPO price of $88.00 per share.
What Is the Lawsuit About?
The complaint filed in this class action alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants failed to disclose to investors that: (1) Kroger’s contract was at-will; (2) a large client could cancel their contract with Ibotta without warning; (3) despite providing a detailed explanation of the terms of Ibotta’s contract with Walmart, there was not a single warning of the at-will nature of Kroger’s contract; and (4) as a result, Defendants’ positive statements about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.
