Shift4 Payments, Inc. (NYSE: FOUR) Securities Fraud Class Action

Case Background:
This is a federal securities fraud class action lawsuit on behalf of those who purchased or otherwise acquired Shift4 Payments, Inc. (“Shift4”) (NYSE: FOUR) securities between June 5, 2020 and April 18, 2023, inclusive (the “Class Period”).

The complaint alleges that, throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and misleading statements regarding Shift4’s business, operations, and compliance policies. Specifically, Defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Shift4 had inadequate disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting; (2) as a result, Shift4 failed to properly account for customer acquisition costs, thereby artificially inflating its net cash provided by operating activities; (3) accordingly, Shift4 would likely be forced to restate one or more of its previously issued financial statements; (4) Shift4 employed accounting maneuvers in connection with, among other things, its mass strategic buyout program and sponsor bank merchant settlement account, that were designed to present an inaccurate picture of, inter alia, Shift4’s performance, its underlying business quality, and its earnings power; (5) all the foregoing, once revealed, was likely to negatively impact Shift4’s reputation and business; and (6) as a result, Shift4’s public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.

Current Status of Case:
On January 22, 2025, the Court granted Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss. This action has concluded.
