What happened to WIX
About this case
According to the lawsuit, Wix.com and certain of its executives misled investors about the company's push into AI-powered "vibe coding" website tools between February 19, 2025 and May 12, 2026. The complaint alleges that the company overstated how competitive and successful its AI offerings — including its Base44 acquisition and its Wix Harmony platform — actually were, while understating the costs of building and marketing them and the extent to which rival AI products were outpacing Wix. The complaint alleges the picture came to a head on May 13, 2026, when Wix reported disappointing first-quarter results and a sharp margin decline, and management acknowledged on its earnings call that Harmony had "holes" and "missing capabilities" and that the company had fallen behind professional developers using competing AI tools — sending the shares down roughly 27% in a single day. Wix announced layoffs of about 20% of its workforce weeks later.

Summarizes allegations in the complaint — they are not findings of any court.
We screen hundreds of stock drops every year and file only a handful. If we're investigating this one, it's because we believe in it.
Block & Leviton is run by the partners whose names are on the door — and our clients deal with them directly, whatever the size of the loss. That's the point of staying small.
A dismissed case turned into a $150 million record.* A recovery from a company that went bankrupt. We build cases to go the distance — not to settle cheap.
* Subject to court approval. Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome.
Who we are — and why we're involved
Block & Leviton represents investors. We never represent the companies we investigate. When a company's own disclosures reveal that shareholders were misled, we investigate and bring claims to recover those losses.
Our clients are people like you: individual investors, retirees, and pension funds harmed when the truth comes out and a stock falls. There is no cost to you to participate, and attorneys' fees are paid only out of a recovery approved by the court.

A record courts have trusted
NextEra Energy — $150 million
The district court dismissed the case. We appealed — and won a unanimous reversal in the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals. The result: a $150 million settlement — the largest securities class action settlement in the Southern District of Florida in more than 30 years.*
Dismissed — then revived when we persuaded the court to reconsider its own judgment. Settled in 2026.
Recovered for investors even after Tricida itself went bankrupt.
Federal courts have appointed Block & Leviton lead counsel in securities class actions on behalf of investors nationwide. Our attorneys have recovered billions of dollars for investors, retirees, and pension funds.

Common questions
Will this cost me anything?
No. There is no cost to submit your information, no cost to participate, and no out-of-pocket cost ever. If there's a recovery, attorneys' fees are paid from it and must be approved by the court.
Do I have to go to court or sue anyone myself?
No. The case is brought on behalf of all affected investors as a group. Unless you choose to seek a larger role, participating requires essentially nothing from you.
I'm already part of the class automatically — so why submit my information?
It's true: if you bought WIX during the class period, you're a class member whether or not you contact anyone. Submitting your information lets us evaluate your specific losses, keep you informed as the case develops, and tell you whether you may benefit from a larger role in the case.
The lead plaintiff deadline passed — am I out of luck?
No. That deadline only governed who could seek appointment to lead the case. Your potential claim as a class member is unaffected — if the case succeeds, class members who file valid claims share in the recovery, and we'll keep you informed of every step if you register.
I sold my shares after the drop — am I still eligible?
Possibly, yes. What generally matters is that you purchased shares during the class period and were harmed by the decline. Whether you still hold shares today doesn't necessarily disqualify you — submit your details and we'll evaluate your situation.
Does submitting this form make you my lawyers?
No — and that's a protection for you. Submitting the form only lets us evaluate your potential claim, at no cost. If we determine we can help and you decide to move forward, we'll send you a written retainer agreement that spells out the relationship, the contingency fee, and your rights. You're never committed to anything until you've read and signed it.
What happens after I submit the form?
Our team reviews your submission — usually within one business day. David, our investor liaison, will reach out by phone or email, and our partners are directly involved in every case. You're never obligated to do anything.
