Where the Case Stands Right Now

• The lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York and is docketed under case number 26-cv-02046. No trial date or settlement has been set.
• If you purchased ODDITY securities during the class period, you have until May 11, 2026, to ask the Court to appoint you as Lead Plaintiff for the class. This is a legal role, not a requirement to receive potential future compensation.
• Multiple law firms — including Pomerantz LLP, Hagens Berman, and Levi & Korsinsky — are actively investigating or have filed related complaints on behalf of injured investors. The court will eventually consolidate these into one lead case.

What Did ODDITY Tech Actually Do?

ODDITY Tech is a beauty and wellness technology company that sells products online under brands like Il Makiage and Spoiled Child. The company built its entire business model around digital advertising — paying platforms to show ads that attract new customers. It heavily promoted its AI-driven platform as a competitive advantage that would sustain long-term growth.

The lawsuit focuses on ODDITY’s repeated promotion of its AI-driven online platform, which the company assured investors would sustain its high-growth and attractive margin profile. Plaintiffs allege that while ODDITY was making those reassuring statements publicly, a serious problem was already developing behind the scenes.

The CFO later acknowledged on the February 2026 earnings call that the company had observed something was different in the second half of 2025. The lawsuit contends this admission shows that management knew about the problem during the very period when it kept raising its financial guidance to investors — without disclosing the issue.

What Went Wrong and Why Investors Lost Money

The core problem involves ODDITY’s relationship with its single largest advertising partner. ODDITY’s CEO stated that the company experienced a dislocation in its account with its largest advertising partner, driven by algorithm changes that diverted ads to lower quality auctions at abnormally high costs, resulting in significant increases in new user acquisition costs.

In simpler terms: ODDITY’s ads started reaching the wrong people at a much higher cost per click. For a company that relies entirely on digital advertising to find new customers, this is a fundamental business threat.

The selloff wiped out over $600 million of the company’s market capitalization, triggered by the company’s announcement that it expected a 30% year-over-year decline in Q1 2026 revenue. Investors argue they never would have purchased shares at those prices had they known this disruption was already occurring.

The Pattern Plaintiffs Say Proves It

The Levi & Korsinsky complaint lays out a specific timeline of rising costs alongside rising guidance — a pattern that investors say shows company leadership knew something was wrong but kept quiet:

• In Q1 2025, selling and administrative costs jumped 35% year-over-year while management described results as outstanding and raised guidance.
• In Q2 2025, costs increased 36% year-over-year and management cited high visibility on future revenue without addressing cost pressures.
• In Q3 2025, costs rose 39% year-over-year, guidance was raised a third time, and no mention was made of the advertising dislocation.

Plaintiffs argue this pattern — repeated cost spikes paired with upbeat guidance — shows that ODDITY concealed a known problem from investors quarter after quarter.

Who Is Eligible to Join This Lawsuit?

This is a securities class action, which means it involves investors — not consumers who bought ODDITY beauty products. You may be part of the class if:

• You purchased or otherwise acquired ODDITY Tech Ltd. (NASDAQ: ODD) securities between February 26, 2025 and February 24, 2026
• You suffered financial losses when the stock price declined
• You are not one of the named defendants in the case (i.e., not ODDITY executives or their immediate families)
• You are a U.S. or international investor who bought ODD shares on the NASDAQ exchange during the class period

You do not need to be a large institutional investor. Individual retail investors who bought even a small number of shares qualify as class members.

What Is a Lead Plaintiff and Do You Need to Be One?

Many investors confuse “lead plaintiff” with “joining the lawsuit.” They are different things.

A lead plaintiff is one investor (or a group) that the court appoints to represent all class members and direct litigation strategy. To ask the court to appoint you as lead plaintiff, you must act by May 11, 2026. Courts generally favor the applicant with the largest financial losses during the class period. If appointed, you work closely with attorneys to oversee the case.

If you are not a lead plaintiff, you still remain a class member automatically. You do not need to do anything right now to preserve your right to receive compensation if the case settles. However, you should monitor the case and watch for any future settlement notice, which would set a separate claims deadline.

How to Get Involved (Step-by-Step)

Step 1 — Gather your brokerage statements showing all ODD purchases and sales between February 26, 2025 and February 24, 2026.

Step 2 — Calculate your approximate total losses (shares purchased × price paid) minus (shares sold × sale price or current value).

Step 3 — Contact one of the law firms handling the case to discuss your options. Consultations are free and class action attorneys work on contingency — you pay nothing upfront.

Step 4 — If you want to be considered for lead plaintiff, submit your application to the court through your chosen attorney before May 11, 2026.

Step 5 — If you do not seek lead plaintiff status, retain your brokerage records and watch for future settlement notices, which will be sent to the address on file with your broker.

Step 6 — Save all communications and confirmations for your records.

Estimated time to complete Steps 1–3: approximately 20–30 minutes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a lawyer to participate in this class action? 

No. If you are a class member, you automatically receive the benefits of any future settlement without hiring a lawyer. You only need an attorney if you want to apply for lead plaintiff status or opt out of the class to pursue an individual case. Class action lawyers work on contingency, meaning they receive a fee from any recovery — not from you directly.

Is this lawsuit legitimate? 

Yes. The case was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York under case number 26-cv-02046. It is a real federal case brought under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Multiple nationally recognized firms — including Pomerantz LLP, Hagens Berman, and Levi & Korsinsky — have independently investigated and filed related actions. You can verify the case on PACER, the federal court’s public docket system.

When will I receive any payment?

 No payment timeline exists yet because no settlement has been reached. Securities class actions of this type typically take one to four years to resolve. If a settlement is reached, the court will set a separate claim filing deadline and provide notice to class members through their brokers.

What if I already sold my ODD stock?

 You may still qualify. Eligibility depends on when you purchased your shares — not whether you still hold them. If you bought ODD securities during the class period (February 26, 2025 – February 24, 2026) and sold at a loss, you likely still have a recognized loss claim. Retain your transaction records.

What if I missed the lead plaintiff deadline? 

Missing the May 11, 2026 lead plaintiff deadline does not remove you from the class. It only means you cannot apply to be the investor who directs the lawsuit. You remain a class member and retain the right to receive compensation from any future settlement automatically.

Will a settlement payment affect my taxes?

 Potentially, yes. Securities litigation recoveries are generally treated as a return of capital or a capital gain depending on how the payment is calculated relative to your original loss. You should consult a tax professional once any settlement is reached, as the tax treatment varies based on individual circumstances and the structure of the settlement.

What law did ODDITY allegedly break? 

The complaint seeks remedies under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. Section 10(b) and Rule 10b-5 prohibit companies from making false or misleading statements in connection with the purchase or sale of securities. Section 20(a) holds senior executives personally liable when they control a company that commits these violations.

What does ODDITY say about all this?

 ODDITY has not yet filed a public response to the complaint. As is standard in securities litigation, the company is expected to file a motion to dismiss, which is a normal early step in the legal process. ODDITY has not admitted any wrongdoing.
