The complaint centers on allegations that PicS failed to disclose critical deficiencies in its internal credit monitoring procedures prior to its IPO. According to the filing, the company determined in late 2025 that its existing systems required significant enhancements, resulting in the reclassification of approximately R$590 million in exposures from Stage 2 to Stage 3. This shift triggered an incremental expected credit loss charge of R$88 million for the quarter ending December 31, 2025.

Legal representatives claim the company experienced a Stage 3 formation rate exceeding 7% during the fourth quarter of 2025, a figure that diverged sharply from historical trends presented in offering documents. The lawsuit asserts that PicS misled shareholders by overstating the efficacy of its credit models and failing to disclose the risks associated with entering higher-risk business lines. These undisclosed trends allegedly contributed to higher default rates that were projected to worsen post-IPO.
