BFA Law opened a securities fraud investigation into Coastal Financial Corp. after the bank's stock plunged 43.5% on a $68.8 million credit charge.
The firm is examining whether Coastal misled investors about the financial performance and credit quality of its banking-as-a-service segment, including the company's CCBX partner relationships, BFA said in a statement.
Coastal reported a Q2 2026 net loss of $42.1 million, or $(2.76) per diluted share, compared with net income of $12 million, or $0.78 per diluted share, a year earlier. The loss was driven by a $68.8 million credit expense tied to an unnamed CCBX partner relationship.
The stock fell $30.75 to $39.91 on July 30, from a closing price of $70.66 the prior session. The investigation could lead to a class action lawsuit against the Everett, Washington-based bank holding company.
BFA is a plaintiff securities law firm that has recovered more than $900 million from Tesla Inc.'s board and $420 million from Teva Pharmaceutical Industries. The firm has been named a top plaintiff law firm by Chambers USA, The Legal 500, and ISS SCAS, and its attorneys have been recognized as "Elite Trial Lawyers" by the National Law Journal and "Titans of the Plaintiffs' Bar" by Law360.
Coastal Financial provides banking-as-a-service to digital financial service providers and brands through its CCBX segment. The investigation centers on whether the company's statements about the segment's credit quality and partner relationships were accurate.
Investors who purchased Coastal Financial securities are being encouraged to contact BFA Law. All representation is on a contingency fee basis, with no court costs or expenses charged to shareholders.
The investigation adds legal and regulatory risk to Coastal Financial at a time when the company is already facing questions about its CCBX partner credit quality. Investors will watch for further disclosures from the company about the unnamed partner relationship and any potential class action filing.
