Specifically, the lawsuit alleges that Stride misled investors by inflating enrollment figures (using “Ghost Students”) and failing to disclose the severe operational failures that plagued its critical platform upgrade, which led directly to the shocking stock collapse.

“The Stride case alleges a compounded deception: first, allegedly inflating enrollment numbers, and second, following that up with an operational failure that cut off access to tens of thousands of paying students,” said Reed Kathrein, the Hagens Berman partner leading the firm's investigation of the alleged claims. “We are specifically focused on the direct causation linking the company's alleged wrongdoing to the 54% single-day stock crash and the total damages suffered by investors. We urge investors who suffered substantial losses in LRN to contact Hagens Berman now to discuss their rights.”
