Scott+Scott Attorneys at Law LLP Announces the Filing of a Securities Class Action Against Jumia Technologies AG (JMIA)
NEW YORK, May 16, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Scott+Scott Attorneys at Law LLP ("Scott+Scott"), an international shareholder and consumer rights litigation firm, is notifying investors that a securities class action lawsuit has been filed against Jumia Technologies AG ("Jumia" or the "Company") (NYSE: JMIA) and other defendants, related to alleged violations of federal securities laws. In response to the report discussed below, the price of Jumia American Depository Shares ("ADSs") recently dropped approximately 26%, from a close price of $33.11 per share on May 8, 2019 to a close price of $24.50 on May 10, 2019. If you purchased Jumia ADSs between April 12, 2019 and May 9, 2019 (the "Class Period"), you are encouraged to contact Jonathan Zimmerman at (888) 398-9312 for more information.
The lawsuit alleges defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose information to investors, specifically that: (1) Jumia materially overstated its active customers and active merchants; (2) Jumia's representations about its orders, order cancellations, undelivered orders and returned orders lacked a sufficient factual basis and materially overstated the Company's sales; (3) Jumia failed to sufficiently disclose related party transactions; and (4) Jumia's financial statements were presented in violation of applicable accounting standards.
On May 9, 2019, Citron Research issued a report announcing "Jumia is a Fraud" that "deserves immediate SEC attention." The report alleged that Jumia misrepresented its active consumer and active merchant figures, among other things. On this news, Jumia's ADS price dropped about 26% from May 8, 2019 to May 10, 2019.
