Frequently Asked Questions About the CRTO Investigation
Q: Which statements are being investigated as potentially misleading? A: The investigation concerns whether Criteo made materially false or misleading statements regarding its fiscal 2026 Contribution ex-TAC outlook and business trajectory, and whether the Company adequately disclosed the factors affecting that outlook. When the Company disclosed on August 5, 2026 that it now expected a 10% to 12% decline at constant currency, the stock price declined sharply.
Q: When did Criteo allegedly mislead investors? A: The investigation concerns statements made before the August 5, 2026 corrective disclosure that allegedly caused investors to purchase securities at inflated prices.
Q: Who is eligible to participate in the CRTO investigation? A: Investors who purchased CRTO stock or securities and suffered financial losses may be eligible. Eligibility is based on purchase date and documented losses -- not on whether you still hold the shares.
Q: What do CRTO investors need to do right now? A: Gather brokerage records including purchase dates, share quantities, and prices paid. Contact Levi & Korsinsky for a free, no-obligation evaluation at jlevi@levikorsinsky.com or (212) 363-7500. No immediate action is required to remain eligible to participate in the investigation.
Q: What documents do I need to participate? A: Brokerage statements or trade confirmations showing purchase dates, share quantities, prices paid, and any subsequent sale dates and prices.
Q: What if I already sold my CRTO shares -- can I still recover losses? A: Yes. Eligibility is based on when you purchased, not whether you still hold the shares. Investors who bought CRTO and sold at a loss may still participate in the investigation.
Q: What does it cost me to participate? A: There is no upfront cost to participate. Securities investigations and any resulting actions are generally handled on a contingency basis -- no upfront fees, no retainer, and no out-of-pocket costs.
