The firm is actively investigating the lawsuit's claims of alleged misstatements in Klarna's September 2025 Initial Public Offering (IPO) documents. CLICK HERE TO SUBMIT YOUR KLARNA LOSSES Investors who purchased Klarna (KLAR) shares pursuant to the company's September 2025 IPO and suffered significant losses are encouraged to contact the firm now. The investigation focuses on allegations in a pending securities class action that Klarna's IPO documents misled investors by emphasizing Klarna's high credit modeling and scoring performance while allegedly omitting to disclose that it was aggressively lending to financially unsophisticated consumers, including for high-risk items like fast-food deliveries. Just weeks after the IPO, Klarna reported a staggering 102% year-over-year increase in its provision for credit losses, causing shares to plunge well below the $40 IPO price. &#34;When a company's credit loss provisions double almost immediately after going public, it raises serious questions about whether the IPO documents were truly transparent,&#34; said Reed Kathrein, the Hagens Berman partner leading the firm's investigation DEEP DIVE ANALYSIS: View our latest video summary of the allegations: youtu.be/6PLHhmxwYTY Klarna Securities Class Action: Alleged Credit Modeling Failures The pending litigating alleges Klarna's IPO documents contained misleading statements regarding the quality and sustainability of the company's loan portfolio. <ul type="disc"> <li>Understated credit risks: The complaint alleges that Klarna's offering documents materially understated the credit risks involved in lending to clients who were financially unsophisticated, experiencing financial hardship.</li> <li>The &#34;Fast Food&#34; Loan Allegations: The complaint alleges that Klarna's growth was fueled by high-frequency, high-interest loans for non-durable goods (like fast food), a practice that critics argue targets the most financially vulnerable consumers and carries an elevated risk of default.</li> <li>102% Loss Provision Spike: On Nov. 18, 2025—shortly after the IPO—Klarna revealed a 102% year-over-year increase in its provision for credit losses, revealing flaws in the company's purportedly robust modeling.</li> <li>IPO Price Collapse: Following this news, Klarna's stock price plummeted, eventually trading nearly 22% below its IPO price.</li> </ul> Next Steps: Contact Partner Reed Kathrein Today Hagens Berman is a top-tier plaintiff litigation firm recognized for prosecuting securities fraud class actions.
