Class Action Details Against PicS N.V.

Robbins LLP has announced a class action lawsuit on behalf of investors who purchased PicS N.V. (NASDAQ: PICS) securities linked to its January 30, 2026 IPO. PicS operates one of Brazil’s largest digital banks, providing various financial products, including payments, credit, insurance, and investments.

The lawsuit alleges that PicS misled investors by failing to disclose critical issues during its IPO. Specifically, the company recognized deficiencies in its credit evaluation procedures in December 2025, leading to significant reclassifications in its credit portfolio. Approximately R$590 million was reclassified from Stage 2 to Stage 3, resulting in an expected credit loss (ECL) charge of R$88 million for Q4 2025. Furthermore, the complaints highlighted that PicS had a Stage 3 formation rate exceeding 7%, far above historical norms, and that it had overstated the effectiveness of its credit models and underwriting practices.

The situation worsened when, on March 19, 2026, PicS disclosed its Q4 and full-year results, confirming the reclassification and reporting a Stage 3 formation rate of 7.1%. This marked a staggering 97% increase from the previous quarter. The company also detailed substantial changes to its credit-loss methodologies and stricter policies for managing non-performing loans.

By June 2, 2026, PicS revealed that Stage 3 loans had risen to 13% of its portfolio, with delinquent loans also increasing. Following this announcement, the stock price dropped below $9.00 per share by June 4, 2026, representing a decline of over 50% from the IPO price of $19.00.
