Faruqi & Faruqi is a leading national securities law firm with offices in New York, Pennsylvania, California and Georgia. The firm has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors since its founding in 1995. See www.faruqilaw.com.
As detailed below, the complaint alleges that the Company and its executives violated federal securities laws by making false and/or misleading statements and/or failing to disclose that: (a) DoubleVerify's customers were shifting their ad spending from open exchanges to closed platforms, where the Company's technological capabilities were limited and competed directly with native tools provided by platforms like Meta Platforms and Amazon; (b) DoubleVerify's ability to monetize on Activation Services, the Company's high-margin advertising optimization services segment, was limited because the development of its technology for closed platforms was significantly more expensive and time-consuming than disclosed to investors; (c) DoubleVerify's Activation Services in connection with certain closed platforms would take several years to monetize; (d) DoubleVerify's competitors were better positioned to incorporate AI into their offerings on closed platforms, which impaired DoubleVerify's ability to compete effectively and adversely impacted the Company's profits; (e) DoubleVerify systematically overbilled its customers for ad impressions served to declared bots operating out of known data center server farms; (f) DoubleVerify's risk disclosures were materially false and misleading because they characterized adverse facts that had already materialized as mere possibilities; and (g) as a result of the foregoing, Defendants' positive statements about the Company's business, operations, and prospects were materially false and/or misleading or lacked a reasonable basis.
The truth about this fraud was revealed through a series of disclosures culminating in February 2025 and March 2025. In February 2025, DoubleVerify reported disappointing earnings and disclosed a multiyear deceleration trend due to the suspension of DoubleVerify services by a large customer. On this news, the price of DoubleVerify stock fell 36 percent. Then, in March 2025, market research company Adalytics Research released a report claiming that DoubleVerify's web advertisement verification and fraud protection services are ineffective, and that DoubleVerify customers are regularly billed for ad impressions served to declared bots operating out of known data center server farms.
The court-appointed lead plaintiff is the investor with the largest financial interest in the relief sought by the class who is adequate and typical of class members who directs and oversees the litigation on behalf of the putative class. Any member of the putative class may move the Court to serve as lead plaintiff through counsel of their choice, or may choose to do nothing and remain an absent class member. Your ability to share in any recovery is not affected by the decision to serve as a lead plaintiff or not.
Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP also encourages anyone with information regarding DoubleVerify's conduct to contact the firm, including whistleblowers, former employees, shareholders and others.

Why the deadly Apple Store crash trial has been delayed yet again
In a case one judge said "has grown whiskers," the trial of Bradley Rein, the man accused of killing one person and injuring 22 others when his SUV crashed into the Hingham Apple Store, has been yet again delayed. The trial is now set for May 23, 2026. Rein, 54, of Hingham, faces charges – including second-degree murder – in the death of Kevin Bradley, 65, of New Jersey, as well as 18 counts of aggravated assault and battery and motor vehicle homicide by reckless operation. Authorities say Rein's 2019 Toyota 4Runner accelerated to 60 mph in five seconds before plowing through the glass storefront of the Derby Street Shops Apple Store on Nov. 21, 2022, only stopping when it hit a back wall. The trial was initially scheduled for December 2025, then moved to March, and now again to May. The delays stem from ongoing legal battles over evidence requested by the defense, which argues the crash may have resulted from a vehicle malfunction, not driver error. Defense attorney Joan Fund says an expert has found discrepancies between the SUV's electronic data recorder and Rein's statements, suggesting the car may not have responded properly to braking. Fund is seeking multiple years of Toyota documentation on similar unintended acceleration issues and has already obtained related records from Herb Chambers Toyota of Quincy. 'Without this information, which I submit to the court is exculpatory, the defense cannot present its case,' she said. Exculpatory refers to evidence that can clear someone from guilt. Prosecutors object to the request, calling it speculative and overly broad. Plymouth County Assistant District Attorney David Cutshall said Rein never claimed the vehicle malfunctioned. 'In every version, he accepted responsibility,' Cutshall said, referencing Rein's earlier explanations that he either pressed the gas instead of the brake or that his foot got caught between the pedals. Plymouth County Superior Court Judge Mark Gildea previously denied defense motions to suppress Rein's police statements and phone data, ruling that Rein was not misled and had voluntarily waived his rights. The judge presiding over the May 27 hearing, Gregg Pasquale, acknowledged the complexity of the case and allowed time for Toyota to respond to the request, which could include objecting to it or seeking to quash it entirely. A compliance hearing is scheduled for June 16 to allow both sides to review any materials produced, give Toyota the chance to respond and address next steps. Since his release on $100,000 bail, Rein has violated probation multiple times. He served 60 days in jail in 2023 for letting his GPS ankle monitor battery die, was later found intoxicated at home and missed required check-ins and testing in 2024. The court has since added a continuous alcohol-monitoring device and warned further violations could result in bail revocation.

Betting site bans individual over heckling incident with Olympic champion sprinter Gabby Thomas
A sports bettor who heckled Olympic champion sprinter Gabby Thomas during a Grand Slam Track event in Philadelphia over the weekend has been banned by the betting site FanDuel Sportsbook. In a statement sent to The Associated Press on Wednesday, FanDuel wrote it 'condemns in the strongest terms abusive behavior directed towards athletes. Threatening or harassing athletes is unacceptable and has no place in sports. This customer is no longer able to wager with FanDuel.' Last weekend, Thomas finished fourth in a 100-meter race won by Melissa Jefferson-Wooden. The bettor wrote in a post on social media that he 'made Gabby lose by heckling her. And it made my parlay win.' He posted a picture of his parlay that had Jefferson-Wooden winning the 100. Thomas, the 200-meter champion at the Paris Games last summer, explained the heckling incident on X. She wrote: 'This grown man followed me around the track as I took pictures and signed autographs for fans (mostly children) shouting personal insults – anybody who enables him online is gross.' Grand Slam Track, a track league launched by Hall of Fame sprinter Michael Johnson this spring, wrote in a statement it was 'conducting a full investigation into the reprehensible behavior captured on video. 'We are working to identify the individual involved and will take appropriate action as necessary. We will implement additional safeguards to help prevent incidents like this in the future. Let us be clear, despicable behavior like this will not be tolerated.' ESPN first reported the bettor had been banned by FanDuel. The Grand Slam Track season wraps up with the fourth and final meet in Los Angeles on June 28-29. The Thomas incident is the latest in a string of stalking and abuse of female athletes. Frida Karlsson, a Swedish cross-country skiing world champion, recently brought her experience with stalking into public view when she went through a trial. A man in his 60s was given a suspended sentence and ordered to pay 40,000 kronor ($4,100) in damages after being convicted of stalking Karlsson for a year and four months, according to Swedish news agency TT. The man, according to the indictment, called Karlsson 207 times, left her voicemails and text messages and approached her, including outside her apartment. In February, police in the United Arab Emirates detained a man who caused British tennis player Emma Raducanu distress by exhibiting ' fixated behavior ' toward her at a tennis tournament. Raducanu had been approached by the man at the Dubai Championships where he left her a note, took her photograph and engaged in behavior that caused her distress, according to the government of Dubai's media office.

Israel-Backed Gaza Aid Group Suspends Operations for Second Day
An Israel- and US-backed mechanism to distribute food in Gaza suspended operations for a second day following a series of deadly incidents near its sites that drew international criticism. The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, a Swiss-based nonprofit, launched in Gaza last week following a months-long Israeli blockade of the territory, and says it has handed out enough food staples for millions of meals. But the roll-out has been dogged by overcrowding and at least one incident in which Israeli forces, citing a security threat, fired toward Palestinians headed to a GHF aid center.
