Zillow Faces August 10 Deadline for Securities Fraud Class Action Lead Plaintiff
Z is trading near its 52-week low of $29.23 (13% above the low).
Summary
A securities fraud class action lawsuit against Zillow Group has an August 10 deadline for investors to apply as lead plaintiff. The lawsuit alleges Zillow engaged in an anticompetitive agreement with Redfin, paying $100 million to eliminate competition in online rental listings. This follows the filing of the class action lawsuit on June 30 and the May 7 rejection of Zillow's motion to dismiss an FTC antitrust lawsuit related to the same agreement. Zillow's stock previously dropped over 16% in February 2026 after the CFO cited increased legal expenses, and further drops occurred after the FTC complaint and the judge's ruling. This legal action could result in substantial financial penalties and reputational damage for the company.
