Anyone who bought Zillow Group stock between February 11, 2025 and May 7, 2026 has until August 10, 2026 to ask a court to make them lead plaintiff in a securities class action. The Rosen Law Firm, which filed the case first, put out a reminder of the deadline on July 11.
The suit covers buyers of Class A or Class C shares, traded under the symbols Z and ZG. It names Zillow and certain of its officers. A second firm, Bronstein, Gewirtz & Grossman, has also published notice of the case, and both say the lead plaintiff acts as the representative party directing the litigation for everyone else in the class.
What the complaint alleges
At the center is Zillow’s agreement with Redfin Corporation. The complaint says Zillow described it as a “partnership” when it was really an acquisition of Redfin’s business.
That difference mattered, the lawsuit argues, because the agreement left Zillow facing a much higher risk of regulatory scrutiny and liability under federal antitrust law. After an antitrust suit was filed, the complaint adds, Zillow went on playing down its legal exposure. It says the company’s statements about its business, operations and prospects were therefore materially false or misleading, or had no reasonable basis. Investors lost money, the suit claims, when the true details reached the market.
These are allegations. No court has ruled on them.
What investors can do
No class has been certified. Until one is, investors are not represented by counsel unless they hire a lawyer, and they can pick their own. Both firms say an investor can also do nothing and remain an absent class member, and that sharing in any later recovery does not depend on serving as lead plaintiff.
Rosen Law Firm says it takes cases on a contingency fee, so investors pay no out-of-pocket fees or costs. Bronstein, Gewirtz & Grossman describes a similar arrangement: it asks the court to reimburse its expenses and fees, usually a percentage of the total recovery, only if the case succeeds.
