What Does the Lincoln Educational Securities Class Action Allege?

The complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, the defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements and failed to disclose material adverse facts concerning Lincoln Educational’s business, operations, and prospects.

Specifically, the complaint alleges that the defendants failed to disclose that: Lincoln Educational’s admissions process was not effectively converting students from enrollment to start; the Company was experiencing a significant drop in student starts relative to enrollment; and, as a result, the defendants’ positive statements about Lincoln’s business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.

Lincoln’s August 10, 2026 Disclosures

On August 10, 2026, before the market opened, Lincoln reported earnings for the second quarter of 2026. The Company reported that student starts increased only approximately 1% year over year, despite enrollment growing approximately 9%, “as fewer enrolled students than expected attended the first day of class.”Lincoln further disclosed that “during the quarter, [it] observed changes in the student decision-making process that affected conversion from enrollment to start.”

During the accompanying earnings call, Lincoln’s Chief Financial Officer, Brian Meyers, stated that “a lower percentage have converted to starts” and that “the lower start volume contributed to a higher cost per start.”

LINC Stock Drop After the Q2 2026 Results

Following these disclosures, Lincoln’s stock price fell $10.22, or 24.93%, to close at $30.77 per share on August 10, 2026, on unusually heavy trading volume.

    Avis Stock Manipulation Class Acton – CAR Investors

    Avis Stock Manipulation Class Action 

    Investors who suffered losses from trading Avis Budget Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: CAR) securities between February 20, 2026 and April 21, 2026 may have legal rights.

    Pentwater Accused of Manipulating Avis Securities

    A securities class action alleges that Pentwater Capital Management LP, MCH PWCM Holdings, Inc., and Matthew C. Halbower manipulated the market for Avis Budget Group, Inc. (“Avis”) securities through an alleged short-squeeze scheme. Avis is not named as a defendant in the September 10, 2026 complaint.

    The action is captioned Arjang v. Pentwater Capital Management LP, et al., Case No. 1:26-cv-07884, filed September 10, 2026 in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York.

    The complaint seeks to represent persons and entities, other than the defendants, that between February 20, 2026 and April 21, 2026, inclusive, (1) purchased or otherwise acquired Avis securities, including purchasers or acquirers of swaps and those who bought Avis common stock to cover a short position, or (2) sold Avis securities short, including sellers of calls who then purchased similar contracts to cover.

    What Does the Complaint Allege?

    According to the complaint, Pentwater was Avis’s second-largest shareholder, holding approximately 8.4% of Avis’s outstanding stock as of June 30, 2025. The complaint alleges that the defendants devised a plan to manipulate the market by buying a significant number of Avis shares while the stock was heavily shorted, generating a short squeeze.

    The complaint alleges that the resulting rapid price increase forced short sellers to close their positions by purchasing additional Avis shares, creating a feedback loop that placed further upward pressure on the stock price. It further alleges that Pentwater rapidly increased its Avis holdings during this period, despite no significant change in Avis’s fundamentals that would justify the increase.

    On February 24, 2026, Pentwater disclosed that it had increased its Avis stake to more than 10%, with 3,562,100 shares as of February 20, 2026. By April 7, 2026, Pentwater reported holding more than 7.8 million Avis shares, representing approximately 22.2% of the Company’s outstanding shares.

    Avis Shares Rise Sharply Before Pentwater’s Alleged Selloff

    The complaint alleges that Avis shares closed at $92.90 on February 25, 2026 and then rose to $713.97 on April 21, 2026, an increase of approximately 668.5% in less than two months.

    According to the complaint, Pentwater then sold approximately 4.3 million Avis shares on April 22 and April 23, 2026, realizing gains of approximately $1.75 billion. Avis shares closed at $229.14 on April 23, a decline of approximately $484.83, or nearly 68%, from the April 21 closing price.

    The complaint alleges that the defendants’ conduct caused losses to investors and other market participants who engaged in transactions covered by the proposed Class, including purchasers of Avis securities and certain investors with short positions.

    September 29, 2026 Lead Plaintiff Deadline

    Investors who wish to seek appointment as lead plaintiff must do so by September 29, 2026. Investors do not need to seek appointment as lead plaintiff to remain potential members of the proposed class or to be eligible to share in any potential recovery.

      Ryde Group Securities Class Action – RYDE

      A securities class action has been filed against Ryde Group Ltd. (“Ryde Group” or the “Company”) (NYSE: RYDE) and other defendants on behalf of persons and entities that purchased or otherwise acquired RYDE securities between March 6, 2024 and September 11, 2024, inclusive (the “Class Period”).

      The action, Weiss v. Ryde Group Ltd., et al., Case No. 1:26-cv-07854, was filed on September 10, 2026 in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. The complaint asserts claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and SEC Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder.

      If you acquired RYDE securities during the Class Period and suffered a financial loss, contact Kehoe Law Firm to discuss your legal rights without cost or obligation.

      What Does the Ryde Group Securities Class Action Allege?

      The complaint alleges that the case arises from the September 2024 collapse of RYDE’s stock following a dramatic yet illusory run-up orchestrated by an allegedly fraudulent stock-promotion scheme propagated over social media.

      Allegedly, the Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements and failed to disclose, among other things, that:

      • RYDE was allegedly the subject of a fraudulent stock-promotion scheme involving social-media misinformation and impersonated financial professionals;
      • Insiders and/or affiliates allegedly used offshore or nominee accounts to facilitate the coordinated dumping of shares during the alleged price-inflation campaign;
      • RYDE’s public statements and risk disclosures allegedly omitted false rumors and artificial trading activity that the complaint contends were driving the stock price; and
      • As a result, the complaint alleges that positive statements concerning Ryde Group’s business, operations and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.

      The Alleged RYDE Stock Promotion and Stock Decline

      The complaint alleges that impersonators posing as legitimate financial advisors promoted RYDE through online forums, private chat groups and social-media posts, including WhatsApp-based communications, using allegedly baseless claims to encourage retail investors to purchase and hold RYDE shares.

      According to the complaint, RYDE reached $22.49 per share on September 11, 2024 and then abruptly declined by approximately 75% during aftermarket trading. The complaint alleges that investors who acquired RYDE securities at artificially inflated prices suffered losses when the alleged truth concerning the stock-promotion activity was revealed.

        401(k) Fees: What Retirement Plan Participants Should Know

        Do You Have Concerns About Your 401(k) Plan Fees or How Your Plan Is Being Managed?

        Your 401(k) is supposed to help you build retirement savings. But concerns about plan fees, the selection and monitoring of plan investments, service-provider relationships, or potential conflicts of interest may raise questions about how your retirement plan is being managed.

        Federal law requires 401(k) plan fiduciaries to act prudently and in the interests of plan participants, including when selecting and monitoring investments, service providers, and plan expenses.

        What 401(k) Participants Should Watch For

        Investment performance or the amount of a particular fee, standing alone, does not establish that a 401(k) plan fiduciary violated the law. Participants may nevertheless have questions about whether their plan’s investments and service providers are being prudently selected and monitored and whether plan fees and expenses are reasonable.

        Issues 401(k) participants may want to consider include:

        • Recordkeeping or administrative fees and whether those costs are being appropriately monitored;
        • Investment options with persistent performance or cost concerns and whether those investments are being prudently monitored;
        • Plan investments or service-provider arrangements that may involve potential conflicts of interest;
        • Financial products or services being marketed to participants through the plan’s recordkeeper; or
        • Whether the plan’s investment and service-provider arrangements are being periodically evaluated.

        The U.S. Department of Labor explains that 401(k) fiduciaries must use a prudent process to select investments and service providers, ensure plan expenses are reasonable in light of the services provided, and continue monitoring those choices.

        A Recent 401(k) Case Shows Why These Issues Matter

        A recent settlement involving the Liberty Mutual 401(k) Plan illustrates several of these concerns. On September 9, 2026, a federal court in Massachusetts granted final approval of a settlement resolving an Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”) class action concerning the management, operation, and administration of the plan. The settlement does not mean the court found that Liberty Mutual violated ERISA.

        According to Law360, the plan participants alleged that Liberty Mutual failed to monitor the plan’s recordkeeping costs, resulting in fees that were at least double what comparable plans were being charged. Law360 also reported that the participants alleged Liberty Mutual retained several funds in the plan to improve its business relationships with other financial institutions and drive revenue for the company, even though other investment options would have provided better returns.

        Law360 also reported that, in addition to the $13.4 million monetary settlement, Liberty Mutual agreed for three years to direct its plan recordkeeper to avoid soliciting 401(k) participants for cross-selling proprietary products and to conduct a request for proposal for investment and administrative consulting services.

        For 401(k) participants generally, the case highlights an important point: fiduciary oversight is not limited to investment returns. It can also involve fees, service-provider relationships, potential conflicts, and whether plan arrangements are being periodically evaluated.

        What You Can Check in Your Own 401(k)

        You do not need to know every detail of ERISA to start looking at your plan. Review your account statements and annual fee disclosures and consider:

        • What administrative or recordkeeping fees are being deducted from your account?
        • What expense ratios or other fees apply to the investments you hold?
        • What information does your plan provide about the performance, fees, and expenses of its investment options?
        • Has your recordkeeper or another plan provider marketed additional investment, insurance, rollover, or advisory products to you?
        • Have the plan’s fees, investments, or service providers changed over time?

        Keep copies of account statements, fee disclosures, investment materials, and communications from the plan or its service providers. Those records may help show how fees, investments, and provider relationships have changed over time.

        Questions About Your 401(k) Plan?

        If you have concerns about your 401(k) plan’s fees, the selection or monitoring of plan investments, recordkeeping costs, service providers, or potential conflicts of interest, contact Kehoe Law Firm, P.C. to learn more about your potential rights under ERISA.

        Ford Edge Coolant Intrusion: NHTSA Evaluates Defect Petition

        Is Your Ford Edge Experiencing Coolant Intrusion or Engine Power Loss?

        Federal auto-safety regulators are evaluating a defect petition involving approximately 499,603 model-year 2015-2018 Ford Edge vehicles equipped with 2.0-liter EcoBoost engines. The petition alleges that coolant intrusion into the engine may result in a significant loss of engine power.

        On September 3, 2026, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s (NHTSA) Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) opened Defect Petition DP26008 to evaluate the issue and determine whether to grant or deny the petition. The opening of the defect petition is not a finding that a safety defect exists and is not a recall.

        What NHTSA Is Evaluating

        According to NHTSA’s ODI resume, the petition was received on August 5, 2026, and concerns 2015-2018 Ford Edge vehicles equipped with the 2.0-liter EcoBoost engine.

        The petition alleges that coolant intrusion into the engine may result in:

        • A significant loss of engine power;
        • An “Engine Coolant Over Temperature” warning message;
        • Rough engine operation after the vehicle has been allowed to sit and cool down; and
        • A check-engine light associated with a cylinder misfire.

        The ODI resume identifies an estimated population of 499,603 vehicles and lists 1,563 incidents. It reports no crashes or fires, injury incidents, injuries, fatality incidents, or fatalities in its failure-report summary.

        Ford Previously Addressed Coolant Intrusion in a Technical Service Bulletin

        Ford previously issued Technical Service Bulletin 19-2346 concerning certain vehicles equipped with the 2.0-liter EcoBoost engine, including 2015-2018 Ford Edge vehicles. The bulletin states that some affected vehicles may exhibit low coolant, white exhaust smoke, rough running, or an illuminated malfunction indicator lamp, and that the condition may be due to coolant intrusion into a cylinder. For vehicles meeting the bulletin’s criteria, Ford’s service procedure called for replacement of the long-block engine assembly.

        What Ford Edge Owners Should Know

        At this stage, NHTSA is evaluating whether to grant or deny the defect petition. The agency has not, through DP26008, determined that the covered Ford Edge vehicles contain a safety defect or ordered a recall.

        Owners of 2015-2018 Ford Edge vehicles with a 2.0-liter EcoBoost engine may want to preserve repair orders, diagnostic records, invoices, warranty communications, and other records concerning coolant loss, overheating warnings, misfires, rough running, engine-power loss, or engine replacement.
