About the Compass class action lawsuit

A securities class action has been filed against Compass, Inc. (NYSE: COMP) on behalf of investors who purchased or otherwise acquired Compass securities between on behalf of former shareholders of Anywhere Real Estate Inc. (“Anywhere”) who acquired Compass common stock in direct exchange for Anywhere securities pursuant to the S-4 registration statement, 424B3 prospectus, and related oral communications (collectively, with materials incorporated therein, the “Offering Materials”), issued in connection with the January 2026 stock-for-stock exchange by which Compass acquired and merged with Anywhere (the “Merger”). The case was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York.

Investors who want to ask the court to appoint them lead plaintiff must do so by December 8, 2026. If you invested in Compass during the Class Period and lost money, contact Kaplan Fox using the form on this page, by emailing pmayer@kaplanfox.com, or by calling (646) 315-9003.

What the lawsuit alleges

The complaint alleges that the Offering Materials falsely attested that Defendants were making (and would continue to make) “reasonable best efforts to obtain [] authorizations and consents” “from certain regulatory authorities” and “to take, or cause to be taken, all appropriate actions and [. . .] all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable law (including any antitrust laws) to consummate and make effective the merger at the earliest practicable date.”

These representations, according to the complaint, were inaccurate because, in truth, “Defendants secretly hired Mike Davis—a lobbyist, lawyer, and ally of President Donald Trump—to obtain potentially illicit access to high-level Trump Administration Department of Justice (“DOJ”) officials to circumvent the standard merger review process.”

What happened to Compass stock

At the commencement of this action, according to the complaint, Compass stock closed at $9.19 per share—a decline of over 28% from the approximately $12.84 share price on the exchange date for the Merger.

Who may be eligible

The proposed class includes investors who purchased or otherwise acquired Compass securities between on behalf of former shareholders of Anywhere Real Estate Inc. (“Anywhere”) who acquired Compass common stock in direct exchange for Anywhere securities pursuant to the S-4 registration statement, 424B3 prospectus, and related oral communications (collectively, with materials incorporated therein, the “Offering Materials”), issued in connection with the January 2026 stock-for-stock exchange by which Compass acquired and merged with Anywhere (the “Merger”).
