The Schall Law Firm, a national shareholder rights litigation firm, announces that it is investigating claims on behalf of investors of StoneCo Ltd. (“Stone” or “the Company”) (NASDAQ: STNE) for violations of the securities laws.

The investigation focuses on whether the Company issued false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose information pertinent to investors. Stone announced its second quarter 2021 financial results on August 30, 2021. The company disclosed an 8.1% drop in year-over-year revenue that it blamed on “adjustments in credit fair value and significantly lower credit disbursements.” According to the Company, it “implemented some prudent actions, like temporarily stopping the disbursement of credit and increasing coverage for potential future losses, which impacted [Stone’s] reported results for the quarter.” Based on this news, shares of Stone dropped by 6% on the next day.
