Lufax Securities Suit Enters Lead‑Plaintiff Fight as Law Firms Court Investors

Investor lawyers are vying to lead the case following PwC's withdrawal of reliance on Lufax's 2022 and 2023 audits.

Overview

  • Rosen Law Firm and Hagens Berman are urging Lufax investors to submit losses and consider seeking the lead‑plaintiff role, which lets an investor help direct the case.
  • The class action, already filed, targets buyers of Lufax shares from April 7, 2023 to January 26, 2025 and alleges weak internal controls and misstated results.
  • In January 2025, Lufax removed auditor PwC after concerns over undisclosed related‑party deals, and PwC said its audit opinions for 2022 and 2023 should not be relied on.
  • The shares fell about 14% that day as investors reacted to the auditor’s stance on the company’s past financial statements.
  • In April 2025, Lufax disclosed it invested through trusts tied to affiliates and said the accounting overstated assets and liabilities since the second half of 2023.
