Lawsuit Filed Against United Homes Group

Glancy Prongay Wolke & Rotter LLP has initiated a class action lawsuit against United Homes Group, Inc., in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, as stated in the case Kadiyam v. United Homes Group, Inc., Case No. 1:26-cv-02989. The lawsuit represents individuals and entities that acquired United Homes securities between May 19, 2025, and February 22, 2026. The lawsuit cites violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

Investors who experienced losses from United Homes investments are encouraged to act quickly, as they have a 60-day window from this notice to assume the role of lead plaintiff in the proceedings.

Key Developments

On May 19, 2025, United Homes announced a special committee to evaluate strategic options for increasing shareholder value, including potential asset sales and refinancing initiatives. However, on October 20, 2025, the special committee concluded that remaining an independent public company was in shareholders’ best interests.

Despite this, the board, except for founder Michael Nieri, indicated they would resign unless Nieri resigned from his position as Executive Chairman and relinquished his remaining compensation due to cost-saving efforts. Nieri declined, leading to six board member resignations and an immediate stock price drop of 52.46% to $2.03 per share.

A subsequent announcement on November 6, 2025, revealed financial results that highlighted a 29% year-over-year decline in home closings, with revenues dropping 23%. This news further depressed the stock price by 7.6% to $1.34 per share.

In another significant development, on February 23, 2026, United Homes agreed to be acquired by Stanley Martin Homes, LLC, for an enterprise value of approximately $221 million. This all-cash deal would pay stockholders just $1.18 per share, reflecting a more than 50% discount from the prior trading price of $2.38, resulting in a final drop in the stock price to $1.15 per share.

Lawsuit Allegations

The class action complaint alleges that during the Class Period, the defendants made materially false and misleading statements and failed to disclose key adverse facts about the company. Specific allegations include the failure to reveal controlling shareholder Michael Nieri’s intentions to devalue the company and force its sale, undermining the best interests of both the company and the investors.

Affected investors are urged to act within 60 days from this notice to potentially recover their losses as part of the ongoing litigation. Interested parties can find more information by contacting Glancy Prongay Wolke & Rotter LLP.
