Law firms are reminding ODDITY Tech Ltd. (ODD) investors of a May 11, 2026, deadline to file for lead plaintiff in a class-action lawsuit following a 49 percent stock drop.
According to the lawsuit, "defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that... an algorithm change by Oddity's largest advertising partner... [was] diverting Oddity's advertisements to lower quality auctions at abnormally high costs," law firm Hagens Berman said in a statement.
The action follows a 49 percent collapse in ODDITY's American Depositary Shares on February 25, 2026, which erased over $600 million of the company's market capitalization. The selloff was triggered by ODDITY's announcement that it expects a 30 percent year-over-year decline in its first-quarter 2026 revenue, citing significantly higher new user acquisition costs.
The lawsuit claims that by hiding the increased costs, ODDITY overstated the strength and sustainability of its AI-driven digital operating model, leading to investor damages when the information was revealed. The class period covers investors who purchased securities between February 26, 2025, and February 24, 2026.
Multiple national law firms, including Faruqi & Faruqi, Rosen Law Firm, and Hagens Berman, have filed claims. The core allegation centers on ODDITY's failure to inform investors about the "dislocation" with its primary advertising partner, which management later admitted they "observed... in the second half of 2025."
The sharp stock decline to its lowest levels since its IPO tests investor confidence in the company's growth narrative. The outcome of the class action could result in significant financial liabilities. Investors will watch for the company's formal response ahead of the May 11 lead plaintiff deadline.
