SAN DIEGO, Sept. 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Shareholder rights law firm Robbins LLP reminds investors that a class action was filed on behalf of all persons and entities who purchased or otherwise acquired Taboola.com Ltd. (NASDAQ: TBLA) securities between May 6, 2026 and August 4, 2026 (the “Class Period”). Taboola operates a platform that partners with websites, devices, and mobile apps to recommend editorial content and advertisements on the open web.

The complaint alleges that Taboola misled investors regarding the value of the Company’s publisher relationships.

Investors who suffered significant losses during the Class Period may be eligible to participate in the lawsuit and should contact Robbins LLP for information before the October 20, 2026 deadline.

Listen to our podcast.

Why Was Taboola Sued?

The complaint alleges that during the Class Period, defendants failed to disclose that:

(1) the Company was seeing an increase in low-quality publishers;

(2) the Company would need to take an aggressive approach to exiting these low-quality publisher relationships, impacting earnings;

(3) as a result, the value of the Company’s publisher relationships was overstated; and

(4) due to the foregoing, defendants’ positive statements about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.

Why Did Taboola’s Stock Drop?

The complaint alleges that on August 5, 2026, before the market opened, Taboola reported second quarter 2026 earnings, including revenue of $476.8 million, falling short of previously issued second quarter guidance of $492-$505 million. The Company also cut its previously issued full year 2026 guidance, reducing expected revenue by $91 million at the midpoint to $1,930-$1,956 million and further cut expected gross profit $10 million at the midpoint to $605-$615 million.

On the same date, also before the market opened, Taboola held an earnings call, during which the Company’s CFO Stephen Walker said that1 “[r]evenue was below our guidance this quarter” in part because the Company took “a more aggressive approach in the second quarter by exiting publisher relationships that did not meet our standards for advertiser success.” The Company’s CEO Adam Singolda further said that the quarter experienced headwinds due to the “decision to remove low-quality publishers that were not delivering value for advertisers.”

On this news, Taboola’s share price fell $1.45 or 27.41%, to close at $3.84 on August 5, 2026, on unusually heavy trading volume.

Who Can Participate in the Taboola Class Action?

The lawsuit seeks to represent investors who purchased or otherwise acquired Taboola.com Ltd. common stock between May 6, 2026 and August 4, 2026.

Investors who suffered losses during that period may have legal rights under the federal securities laws.

What Is a Lead Plaintiff?

The lead plaintiff is a court-appointed investor who represents the interests of all class members throughout the litigation. Shareholders who wish to lead the case should contact Robbins LLP before the October 20, 2026 lead plaintiff deadline. 

Serving as lead plaintiff is not required to share in any potential recovery. Investors who do not seek appointment may remain absent class members if the case proceeds and later resolves successfully.

Does It Cost Anything to Participate?

No. Robbins LLP represents investors on a contingency fee basis.

PASAY CITY, Philippines, Sept. 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — SM Investments Corporation, the parent company of the SM Group, underscored the need for businesses to look beyond short-term economic cycles and identify the changes that matter at the 24th MAP International CEO Conference, held under the theme “In the Age of Flux: Scaling the Next Inflection Points.”

The conference examined how companies are responding to rapid change, from artificial intelligence to shifting consumer demand, and how leaders can distinguish lasting shifts from market noise.

In his welcome address, SM Investments President and Chief Executive Officer Frederic C. DyBuncio said nearly seven decades of operating in the Philippines have taught the group to take a long-term view.

“At SM, nearly seven decades in the Philippines have taught us to look beyond the cycle. We have seen periods of uncertainty, disruption and rapid change. Through them, one thing has remained constant: the long-term potential of the Philippines and the aspirations of the Filipino people,” Mr. DyBuncio said.

He pointed to the growth of regional markets as one change creating opportunities for businesses.

“That potential is increasingly visible beyond Metro Manila. As incomes rise and aspirations evolve, opportunities are opening across the regions. For businesses, this means looking beyond where growth has traditionally been concentrated and investing where the next generation of demand is emerging,” he said.

Discussions at the conference also explored how technology is changing the way companies understand and respond to change. Artificial intelligence and data can help businesses identify patterns more quickly, but more information does not necessarily make the decisions for them. Leaders still have to decide what matters, where to invest and when to act.

Across the SM Group, this long-term approach can be seen in the continued growth of its retail, banking, property and portfolio businesses, including their expansion beyond traditional economic centers. These businesses fund their own growth, allowing SM Investments as the parent company to benefit from their growth and the dividends they generate.

This structure gives SM Investments a distinctive position as a parent company, with established businesses that can invest and grow independently while contributing dividends to the parent over time.

The underlying approach remains straightforward: understand where demand is going, invest with discipline and stay close to the customers the businesses serve.

About SM Investments Corporation

SM Investments Corporation is one of the leading Philippine companies that is invested in market-leading businesses in retail, banking, and property. It also invests in ventures that capture high growth opportunities in the emerging Philippine economy.

SM’s retail operations are the country’s largest and most diversified, consisting of grocery stores, department stores and specialty retail stores.
