A securities class action chronicles how Ryde Group Ltd shareholders moved from euphoria over a 500% run-up to near-total loss, alleging the rally was driven by an undisclosed social media promotion campaign rather than the Company's business.
NEW YORK, Oct. 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Levi & Korsinsky, LLP provides context on the investor sentiment arc surrounding Ryde Group Ltd (NYSE: RYDE) for shareholders who purchased securities between March 6, 2024 and September 11, 2024. Submit your information. You may also contact Joseph E. Levi, Esq. at jlevi@levikorsinsky.com or (212) 363-7500.
RYDE closed at $22.49 on September 11, 2024, then collapsed roughly 75% to $5.50, and shares have since traded near $0.50, a decline of over 95% from the peak. The lead plaintiff deadline is November 9, 2026.
The Early Optimism
RYDE priced its initial public offering at $4.00 per share in March 2024, raising $12,000,000 in gross proceeds. The stock ultimately climbed to a peak of $22.49 per share with no corresponding change in the Singapore mobility and quick commerce operations. Investors reportedly expressed confidence built on messages circulating in private chat groups rather than on Company disclosures.
The Alleged Growth Stimulus
The complaint describes Facebook advertisements that used the identity of a Denver investment advisor to funnel retail investors into a WhatsApp group styled as an investment club. Members were reportedly given specific purchase prices, share quantities, hold periods, and promises of triple-digit returns on RYDE. Sentiment reflected a belief that these instructions came from licensed professionals; the action alleges the identities were stolen and the tips fabricated.
The Sentiment Shift
- March 2024: Shares debut at $4.00 following the IPO underwritten by Maxim Group, LLC.
- Summer 2024: Social media advertisements and WhatsApp and WeChat groups circulate purchase instructions and return promises for RYDE, as alleged.
- September 9, 2024: Hindenburg Research founder Nathan Anderson publicly warns that RYDE displays "all the hallmarks" of a pump-and-dump.
- September 11, 2024: Shares reach an all-time high of $22.49 on a market capitalization near $900 million.
- Later that session: RYDE plummets roughly 80% in about an hour, from $22 to approximately $4.60, following reports of wash-trading and coordinated chat-room promotion.
- Since: Shares have allegedly traded as low as approximately $0.50.
The Breaking Point
The lawsuit contends that as unusual trading activity and false claims circulated in online investor groups, no cautionary statement was issued telling shareholders that the price action did not reflect Company fundamentals. Confidence turned to disillusionment within a single hour of trading.
"Investor confidence depends on receiving truthful information from the companies they invest in. The complaint alleges that RYDE shareholders were buying into a price that reflected coordinated online promotion rather than the Company's mobility and quick commerce results." -- Joseph E. Levi, Esq.
