Wolf Haldenstein Adler Freeman & Herz LLP announced on May 12 an investigation into Magnitude International Ltd for potential securities fraud.
"The investigation concerns whether Magnitude and certain officers and/or directors have engaged in securities fraud or other unlawful business practices," the law firm said in a statement.
Trading in Magnitude's stock has been halted since December 4, 2025. The SEC suspended trading on December 5, 2025, followed by a halt from Nasdaq on December 19, 2025. The last sale price was $6.76 per share, 69 percent above its IPO price of $4.00 from August 2025.
The investigation adds another layer of uncertainty for shareholders who have been unable to trade the stock for over nine months. Any findings of unlawful practices could lead to a class-action lawsuit, further impacting the company's financial standing.
Magnitude International operates as a holding company providing electrical installation and related services for residential customers in Singapore. The company raised $8.8 million in its August 2025 Initial Public Offering, which was led by underwriter Bancroft Capital.
Wolf Haldenstein has invited shareholders who suffered losses to contact the firm. The law firm has extensive experience in securities class actions and derivative litigation.
The probe into Magnitude highlights the risks associated with newly listed companies and the potential for significant shareholder losses when trading is suspended indefinitely. Investors will be watching for the results of the investigation and any subsequent legal actions or official statements from the company.
