About the Lawsuit
Opera and certain of its executives are charged with failing to disclose material information in its IPO Registration Statement and Prospectus and during the Class Period, violating federal securities laws.
On January 16, 2020, Hindenburg Research reported a range of allegations against the Company including that it had "a 12-month price target of $2.60 on Opera, representing a 70% downside"; that Opera's "browser market share is declining rapidly, down ~30% since its IPO"; that Opera was involved in "predatory short-term loans in Africa and India, deploying deceptive 'bait and switch' tactics to lure in borrowers and charging egregious interest rates ranging from ~365-876%"; that Opera's lending business applications, available through Google's Play Store, were "in black and white violation of numerous Google rules" aimed at "curtail[ing] predatory lending"; and that consequently, Opera's entire lending business was "at risk of disappearing or being severely curtailed when Google notices" the violations.
On this news, the price of Opera's ADSs plummeted.
The case is Brown v. Opera Limited, et al., 20-cv-00674.
