BYAH CFO Xiaoyan Zhu since 2016 signed the December 2024 registration statement that the lawsuit contends omitted the promotional scheme behind BYAH's 93% stock collapse.
NEW YORK, Aug. 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Levi & Korsinsky, LLP notifies investors in Park Ha Biological Technology Co., Ltd. (NASDAQ: BYAH) that a securities class action has been filed on behalf of shareholders who acquired BYAH securities between December 27, 2024 and July 8, 2025. Find out if you could qualify to recover your losses. You may also contact Joseph E. Levi, Esq. at [email protected] or (212) 363-7500.
BYAH shares fell $38.02 on July 8, 2025, closing at $2.99 after an intraday high of $41.49 the prior day, a decline of approximately 93% that erased more than $1 billion in market capitalization. LEAD PLAINTIFF DEADLINE: September 28, 2026.
Xiaoyan Zhu's Role During the Class Period
The complaint identifies Zhu as BYAH's Chief Financial Officer since 2016 and a member of the Board of Directors since approximately July 2024. In both capacities, Zhu oversaw the financial reporting that accompanied the Company's $4.8 million initial public offering of 1,200,000 ordinary shares at $4.00 per share.
What Zhu Allegedly Oversaw
As named in the action, Zhu signed the registration statement that carried the Company's reported results, including franchise fee revenue of $551,970 for the six months ended April 30, 2024 and a reported 93% gross profit margin on non-franchisee product sales. The lawsuit contends those disclosures presented a growing skincare franchise business without disclosing that the offering's sub-5% public float allegedly left BYAH shares susceptible to coordinated manipulation, or that impersonators posing as financial advisors were allegedly touting the stock in WhatsApp groups with fabricated claims of a L'Oréal partnership and projected gains of 200% to 300%.
Zhu's Alleged Role
- Served as CFO throughout the period covered by the financial statements included in the offering documents
- Signed the registration statement incorporated into the Company's December 27, 2024 prospectus.
- Joined the Board in July 2024, months before the offering was completed
- Held a position with alleged access to material non-public information regarding the Company's trading and float structure
- Named among the individual defendants said to have possessed the power to control the content of BYAH's public filings
- Allegedly did not cause the Company to correct or supplement risk disclosures that described extreme run-ups only as a hypothetical possibility
Section 20(a) Context for Xiaoyan Zhu
The action asserts claims under Sections 11, 12, and 15 of the Securities Act and Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act. For investors, the practical effect is that officers and directors who signed the offering documents may be held individually responsible if the alleged omissions are proven.
"Individual officers who sign SEC certifications bear personal responsibility for the accuracy of corporate disclosures. Here, the complaint alleges that BYAH's offering documents described low-float volatility only as a theoretical risk." -- Joseph E. Levi, Esq.
