Zillow Investor Alert: Kaplan Fox Investigates Potential Securities Fraud at Zillow Group, Inc.

NEW YORK, Nov. 02, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Kaplan Fox & Kilsheimer LLP (www.kaplanfox.com) is investigating claims on behalf of investors of Zillow Group, Inc. ("Zillow" or the "Company") Z. Zillow operates a real estate website in the U.S., including Zillow Offers, which buys and sells homes directly in dozens of markets across the country.

On November 2, 2021, after the market closed, Zillow issued a press release reporting "Third-Quarter 2021 Financial Results" and its "Plan to Wind Down Zillow Offers Operations." The press release disclosed that the Company is reducing its workforce by approximately 25% and plans to take as much as $569 million in write-downs. Among other things, the press release states "[i]ncluded in the company's third-quarter financial results is a write-down of inventory of approximately $304 million within the Homes segment as a result of purchasing homes in Q3 at higher prices than the company's current estimates of future selling prices" and "[t]he company further expects an additional $240 million to $265 million of losses to be recognized in Q4 primarily on homes it expects to purchase in Q4."

Following this news, Zillow shares that trade under the symbols Z and ZG both fell over $20 per share, more than 20%, in after market trading on November 2, 2021.
