Sportradar Faces Securities Class Action Over Alleged Compliance and Market Disclosure Issues

Radnor, Pennsylvania — A securities class action lawsuit has been filed against Sportradar Group AG, trading on NASDAQ under the ticker SRAD, on behalf of investors who purchased or acquired the company’s Class A ordinary shares between November 7, 2024, and April 21, 2026.

The lawsuit, filed by Kessler Topaz Meltzer & Check, LLP, is titled Smale v. Sportradar Group AG, et al. and was brought in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. The case is currently assigned to Judge Gregory H. Woods. Investors covered by the class period have until July 17, 2026, to ask the court to appoint them as lead plaintiff.

What the Lawsuit Claims

The complaint alleges that Sportradar and certain company executives made false or misleading statements about the company’s business practices, regulatory compliance, and customer review procedures. According to the filing, the company repeatedly promoted its due diligence, Know-Your-Customer process, and commitment to legal compliance while allegedly failing to disclose risks tied to certain operators and markets.

The lawsuit claims investors were not fully informed about alleged weaknesses in Sportradar’s compliance controls. It further alleges that statements about the company’s business outlook and operations lacked a reasonable basis because of undisclosed compliance concerns.

Key Allegations Involving Research Reports

The complaint says investor concerns increased on April 22, 2026, after two market research firms, Muddy Waters Research and Callisto Research, published separate investigative reports. Those reports alleged that Sportradar had business exposure connected to unauthorized or non-compliant gambling markets.

According to the complaint, Callisto reviewed hundreds of gambling platforms and reported that more than 270 platforms appeared to use Sportradar products or services while operating in regulated or prohibited markets. The filing also states that Callisto shared its findings with regulators in North America and Europe.

Share Price Reaction

Following the publication of the reports, Sportradar’s Class A ordinary share price allegedly dropped by $3.80 per share, or about 22.6%. The stock closed at $16.84 on April 21, 2026, before falling to $13.04 on April 22, 2026.

Lead Plaintiff Deadline

Investors who purchased or acquired Sportradar Class A ordinary shares during the class period may seek appointment as lead plaintiff by July 17, 2026. A lead plaintiff represents the broader group of investors in directing the litigation. Investors may also choose not to seek this role and may remain absent class members.
