NEW YORK, Aug. 03, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Levi & Korsinsky, LLP notifies investors in Wix.com Ltd.

WIX shares declined $29.40 on May 21, 2025, followed by allegedly related declines of $25.22, $2.37, $8.55, $3.26, and $20.56 throughout the following year; an approximate $89.36 decline across the series of stock drops. The lead plaintiff deadline is September 22, 2026.
May 2025: Maintained Guidance Became the First Timeline Marker
The complaint alleges Wix told investors that AI-powered offerings and product enhancements would support growth, while the Company maintained FY 2025 revenue guidance of $1.97 billion to $2 billion after reporting Q1 2025 results. Analysts allegedly viewed the maintained guidance as disappointing given expectations for an increase, and WIX shares fell $29.40 per share, or 16.18%, to close at $152.34 on May 21, 2025.
Timeline of Alleged Disclosure Failures
The securities action frames the case as a sequence of alleged partial disclosures that gradually undermined the Company's AI growth narrative:
- February 19, 2025: Wix allegedly promoted AI innovation and product momentum as key drivers of future growth.
- May 21, 2025: Wix maintained FY 2025 revenue guidance despite Q1 bookings growth, allegedly fueling concerns about competition and growth durability.
- November 19, 2025: Wix reported Q3 2025 free cash flow of $127.3 million, while stating that free cash flow excluding acquisition-related costs would have been $159.4 million.
- March 27, 2026 to April 7, 2026: JPMorgan, UBS, and Citizens downgraded WIX, citing issues including revenue growth deceleration, margin concerns, Base44 costs, and competition.
- May 13, 2026: Wix reported Q1 2026 results below expectations and, as alleged, acknowledged Wix Harmony had "holes" and "missing capabilities" while professional developer customers used competing AI tools.
Why the Chronology Matters to WIX Investors
As claimed in the action, each event allegedly narrowed the gap between Wix's public AI growth messaging and the operational pressures affecting its business. The lawsuit contends that accelerating AI compute costs, Base44 marketing expenses, product delays, and competitive losses among professional developers were material risks that investors were not fully told about during the Class Period.
"Timely disclosure of material developments is fundamental to fair and efficient markets. Here, the alleged timeline is significant because investors saw repeated market reactions before the final May 2026 disclosure tied to Wix Harmony and professional developer weakness." -- Joseph E. Levi, Esq.
