PDD Holdings Inc. faces a securities fraud investigation after China widened its probe into the company, the Law Offices of Frank R. Cruz said Thursday.
"Shareholders who lost money should contact us to discuss their legal rights," the firm said in a statement.
Bloomberg reported on Jan. 19 that China had broadened its investigation into PDD, which operates the Pinduoduo and Temu platforms. The expanded probe adds to regulatory challenges for the company, which has faced scrutiny from authorities in both Beijing and Washington.
The investigation could lead to shareholder lawsuits, regulatory penalties and further stock price declines for PDD. The company's next quarterly earnings report will be a key event for investors seeking updates on the regulatory situation.
The law firm is examining whether PDD made false or misleading statements to investors regarding its business practices and regulatory compliance. PDD has not yet commented on the investigation.
The probe adds legal uncertainty for PDD as Chinese tech companies face heightened regulatory risk in both domestic and international markets. Investors will watch for any material disclosures in the company's next SEC filing.
