The pending lawsuit alleges Complaint alleges senior Wix.com Ltd. officers controlled challenged AI-related disclosures while WIX investors suffered a $126.42 per-share decline.
NEW YORK, July 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Levi & Korsinsky, LLP notifies investors in Wix.com Ltd. (NASDAQ: WIX) that a securities class action has been filed on behalf of shareholders who purchased securities between February 19, 2025 and May 12, 2026. Find out if you qualify for recovery. Contact Joseph E. Levi, Esq. at [email protected] or (212) 363-7500.
WIX fell from a closing price of $181.74 on May 20, 2025 to a closing price of $55.32 on May 13, 2026, after a series of corrective disclosures allegedly caused the stock to fall at various points during the Class Period. The lead plaintiff deadline is September 22, 2026.
Named Officers and Alleged Control Authority
The complaint names Avishai Abrahami, Co-Founder, Chief Executive Officer and Director, Lior Shemesh, Chief Financial Officer, and Nir Zohar, Co-Founder and President, as individual defendants. The action contends these officers possessed authority over Wix’s SEC filings, press releases, shareholder updates, and market communications during the Class Period.
As pleaded, the control person allegations focus on whether senior leadership had access to material information concerning Wix’s AI offerings, Base44 cost pressures, Wix Harmony capabilities, and professional developer customer trends while the Company allegedly continued to make positive statements about AI competitiveness and growth prospects.
Alleged Section 20(a) Control Person Liability
The lawsuit asserts that the individual defendants were positioned to prevent or correct allegedly misleading statements before those statements reached investors. The control person theory is tied to practical investor harm: shareholders allegedly purchased WIX securities at inflated prices before successive disclosures and analyst reassessments reduced the market value of their holdings.
Key control person allegations include:
- The individual defendants allegedly had power and authority over Wix’s public disclosures.
- The complaint claims they received or had access to information concerning AI product performance and competitive pressure.
- The filing alleges that public statements overstated the commercial and financial benefits of Wix’s AI products.
- The action asserts that AI compute and marketing costs tied to Base44 were understated before investors saw their financial impact.
- The lawsuit alleges that Wix Harmony’s ‘holes’ and ‘missing capabilities’ were material to investors evaluating Wix’s AI strategy.
SOX Certifications and Investor Accountability Issues
The complaint further alleges that the 2024 Form 20-F included Sarbanes-Oxley certifications signed by Abrahami and Shemesh. Those certifications allegedly stated that the annual report did not contain untrue statements of material fact or omit facts necessary to make the statements not misleading.
Corporate officers have a duty to ensure their companies’ public statements are accurate and complete, particularly where investors are being asked to value growth based on emerging technology claims. Here, the complaint alleges senior officers controlled disclosures while WIX shares later lost substantial value as AI-related risks and product limitations came into focus. — Joseph E. Levi, Esq.
