SHAREHOLDER ALERT - X Financial (XYF) - Bronstein, Gewirtz & Grossman, LLC Notifies Investors of Class Action and Lead Plaintiff Deadline: February 7, 2020
NEW YORK, Dec. 13, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Attorney Advertising -- Bronstein, Gewirtz & Grossman, LLC notifies investors that a class action lawsuit has been filed against X Financial ("X Financial" or the Company") (NYSE: XYF) and certain of its officers, on behalf of shareholders who purchased or otherwise acquired X Financial American Depositary Shares ("ADSs") pursuant and/or traceable to the Company's September 19, 2018 initial public offering (the "IPO"). Such investors are encouraged to join this case by visiting the firm's site: www.bgandg.com/xyf.
This class action seeks to recover damages against Defendants for alleged violations of the federal securities laws under the Securities Exchange Act of 1933.
The complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) the Company's total loan facilitation amount was not growing, but rather was contracting; (2) the number of investors actively using X Financial's platform was shrinking; (3) demand from small- and medium-sized enterprises for the Company's Xiaoying Preferred Loans ("preferred loans") was plummeting; (4) the Company's preferred loans had performed so poorly that it had begun drastically scaling back its preferred loans in the first quarter of 2018, several months before the IPO, and was in the process of phasing out such loans completely; (5) demand for the Company's Xiaoying Card Loans was also plummeting; (6) the revenue and loan facilitation growth provided in the Registration Statement leading up to the IPO was achieved by relaxed credit and due diligence standards, under which the Company had underwritten tens of millions of dollars' worth of poor quality loans that suffered from a disproportionately high risk of default as compared to the Company's earlier loan vintages; (7) the Company was suffering from accelerated delinquency rates from poor quality loans that it had underwritten in the first, second, and third quarters of 2018, which had caused the Company's delinquency rate to sharply rise; (8) the Company's product mix had significantly deteriorated; (9) the Company's net revenue was on track to decline by 22% during the third quarter of 2018; and (10) as a result, defendants' statements about X Financial's business, operations, and prospects were materially false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.
