This is a litigation alert, not an earnings report. The synthetic EPS data ($1.39 vs $1.54) conflicts with the Nasdaq Street-EPS reference history (which shows $0.15 for Jun 2026) — do not trade on the synthetic numbers. Monitor the lead plaintiff deadline (Sept 22, 2026) and any Wix 8-K filings for actual Q2 2026 results or guidance updates. The lawsuit adds overhang but the stock has already repriced the Q1 miss.

Executive Summary
Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro LLP issued a press release alerting Wix investors to a securities class action lawsuit filed after Wix's Q1 2026 results caused a 27% stock drop. The lawsuit alleges Wix made false statements about its AI product competitiveness and costs, with the complaint citing a 46% YoY spike in operating expenses and a collapse in non-GAAP operating margin from 21% to 5%. This is a litigation announcement, not an earnings release — no new financial data for Q2 2026 is provided, and the EPS miss of $1.39 vs $1.54 consensus is from a synthetic earnings context that does not match the Nasdaq Street-EPS reference history, indicating a data conflict.
