What Happened?
On August 14, 2025, investment bank TD Cowen issued a report stating that delinquencies on SLM’s private education loans in July 2025 were overall “higher (worse) than the seasonal . . . performance for July, driven by [an increase] in early stage delinquencies.”
TD Cowen’s findings directly contradicted the statements of the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, Peter Graham, made less than a month earlier, which asserted that SLM was observing delinquency rates that were merely “following the normal seasonal trends[.]”
On this news, SLM’s stock price fell $2.67, or 8.1%, to close at $30.32 per share on August 15, 2025, thereby injuring investors.
What Is The Lawsuit About?
The complaint filed in this class action alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants failed to disclose to investors that: (1) SLM was experiencing a significant increase in early stage delinquencies; (2) accordingly, Defendants overstated the effectiveness of SLM’s loss mitigation and/or loan modification programs, as well as the overall stability of the Company’s PEL delinquency rates; and (3) as a result, Defendants’ positive statements about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.
