The legal complaint alleges that PicS N.V. misled shareholders by failing to disclose critical deficiencies in its internal credit procedures ahead of its IPO. According to the filing, the company had reclassified approximately R$590 million in exposures from Stage 2 to Stage 3, triggering an incremental expected credit loss charge of R$88 million for the quarter ending December 31, 2025. Furthermore, the lawsuit contends that PicS experienced a Stage 3 formation rate exceeding 7% during the fourth quarter, a figure that diverged sharply from historical trends presented in the company's offering documents.

The suit claims that PicS overstated the reliability of its credit models and user data, which were purportedly insufficient to track mounting credit risks. Allegations suggest that the company’s expansion into riskier business lines led to a degradation in customer credit quality and higher default rates that were known internally prior to the public offering.
