(Bloomberg) -- Wix.com Ltd. shares plunged 27 percent after the company’s first-quarter revenue and earnings fell short of analyst expectations, and a prominent law firm announced a fraud investigation.
"The investigation focuses on whether the Company issued false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose information pertinent to investors," The Schall Law Firm said in a press release. The firm is a national shareholder rights litigation firm.
Wix reported its Q1 2026 financial results on May 13, 2026, revealing a sharp decline in operating margins. The company attributed the weakness to its professional developer business, where customers are turning to competing AI tools due to "missing capabilities" in the Wix Harmony platform.
The disappointing results and the subsequent investigation announcement sent Wix’s stock price down 27% on the same day. The Schall Law Firm is encouraging investors who have suffered a loss to contact them. This investigation could lead to a class-action lawsuit, potentially resulting in financial penalties for Wix and further damage to its reputation.
The Schall Law Firm has been active in investigating other companies for similar issues. The firm recently announced investigations into Rumble Inc. (RUM) for a larger-than-expected net loss and Shake Shack Inc. (SHAK) for a reported operating loss and weak restaurant-level margins.
