PICS Shareholder Alert: PicS N.V. Securities Class Action Lawsuit - Investors Should Contact SueWallSt

Alert: Claims Focus on Alleged Shift from Asset-Light Lending to Balance-Sheet Credit Origination That Concealed Portfolio Deterioration Before $434.3 Million IPO

NEW YORK, June 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- SueWallSt reminds purchasers of PicS N.V. (Nasdaq: PICS) securities of a pending securities class action.

THE CASE: A class action seeks to recover damages for investors who purchased PicS Class A common stock in and/or traceable to the Company's January 30, 2026 initial public offering.

YOUR OPTIONS: You may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out-of-pocket fees. See if you can recover losses or contact Joseph E. Levi, Esq. at [email protected] or (888) SueWallSt.

PicS shares have fallen more than 52% from the $19.00 IPO price to below $9.00 per share, a loss exceeding $10.00 per share. Investors have until August 4, 2026 to seek lead plaintiff status.

How PicS Built Its Credit Engine

A digital bank cannot generate sustainable credit revenue without sound origination practices. Prior to October 2023, PicS operated an asset-light model, distributing loans originated by third-party partners and earning commissions. The Company then shifted strategy, originating credit products directly on its own balance sheet. By the fourth quarter of 2025, credit products accounted for 52% of total revenue, the filing states.

The Offering Documents promoted this expansion as a competitive advantage, citing proprietary AI and machine learning models. The lawsuit contends this rapid buildup introduced materially riskier exposures that the Company's credit infrastructure could not adequately monitor or manage.

Alleged Credit Origination Impact by the Numbers

• R$7 billion in loan originations during Q3 2025 alone, a 46% year-over-year increase from R$4.8 billion
• Credit products grew to represent 52% of total Company revenue by Q4 2025
• The Stage 3 formation rate nearly doubled, spiking from 3.6% (Q3 2025) to 7.1% (Q4 2025) before the IPO
• R$590 million in exposures reclassified from Stage 2 (underperforming) to Stage 3 (credit-impaired/defaulted)
• An incremental expected credit loss charge of R$88 million resulted from the reclassification
• By Q1 2026, Stage 3 loans reached 13% of the total credit portfolio

Credit Model Breakdown and the December 2025 Internal Review

As alleged in the action, in December 2025, weeks before the IPO, PicS conducted an internal review that determined its historical credit evaluation policies and procedures were deficient. The Company implemented sweeping changes, including renegotiation delinquency tracking, specialized models for newly launched products, advanced machine learning techniques, and internally developed loss-given-default models. These changes triggered the R$590 million reclassification. None of this was disclosed to IPO investors, the complaint claims.

The lawsuit asserts that the Offering Documents presented a 3.6% Stage 3 formation rate as of September 30, 2025, without revealing the dramatic deterioration already underway in the quarter that closed before the IPO.

"The complaint raises serious questions about whether investors received accurate information regarding PicS' credit origination practices and the health of its loan portfolio at the time of the IPO." -- Joseph E. Levi, Esq.
