Futu Holdings faces securities class action after 32% stock decline
Investors in Futu Holdings Limited (NASDAQ: FUTU) have until Aug. 25 to seek lead plaintiff status in a securities class action tied to undisclosed regulatory compliance failures that erased about 32% of the company's market value.
"The company was not in compliance with the requirements of the China Securities Regulatory Commission, including because it continued to conduct securities business, public fund sales business and futures business in mainland China without obtaining the requisite licenses or approval," the complaint alleges. The case, Tang v. Futu Holdings Limited, et al, is pending in the US District Court for the Southern District of New York.
The class period covers May 24, 2023 through May 27, 2026. According to the lawsuit, Futu made materially false and misleading statements about its regulatory standing and faced reasonably likely penalties including disgorgement of ill-gotten gains. The company's financial results were overstated as a result, the complaint claims.
Multiple law firms including Rosen Law Firm, Kahn Swick & Foti, The Gross Law Firm and The Schall Law Firm have announced investor deadlines. Kahn Swick & Foti partner Charles C. Foti Jr., the former attorney general of Louisiana, is among the counsel representing investors. The deadline to file lead plaintiff applications is Aug. 25, 2026.
The lawsuit highlights ongoing regulatory risks for Chinese fintech companies operating in mainland China without full CSRC approval. Futu, which provides online brokerage and wealth management services, competes with peers such as UP Fintech Holding Ltd. (TIGR) and other Chinese digital brokerages that have faced similar scrutiny from Beijing regulators.
The 32% decline puts Futu shares at their lowest levels since the regulatory concerns emerged. Investors will watch for any CSRC enforcement actions or settlement announcements as the case proceeds through the Southern District of New York.
