Bragar Eagel & Squire, P.C., a nationally recognized stockholder rights law firm, is investigating potential claims against SVB Financial Group (“SVB” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: SIVB, SIVBP) on behalf of SVB stockholders. Our investigation concerns whether SVB has violated the federal securities laws and/or engaged in other unlawful business practices.

On March 8, 2023, after trading hours, SVB shocked the market when it announced that it planned to raise nearly $2 billion, and that it would take a $1.8 billion loss on the sale of $21 billion worth of securities. Amidst these losses, it was reported that SVB’s CEO, Greg Becker, had stated in a letter to investors, “while VC (venture capital) deployment has tracked our expectations, client cash burn has remained elevated and increased further in February, resulting in lower deposits than forecasted.” It was also reported that various venture capital funds, including Peter Thiel’s Founders Fund, had advised their portfolio companies to pull their money out of SVB accounts, triggering a run on SVB.
On this news, the price of SVB’s stock plummeted $161.79, or over 60%, resulting in multiple trading halts due to extreme volatility, before closing at $106.04 per share. The losses didn’t stop there: SVB stock continued to fall by as much as 28% in after-hours trading.
If you purchased or otherwise acquired SVB shares and suffered a loss, are a long-term stockholder, have information, would like to learn more about these claims, or have any questions concerning this announcement or your rights or interests with respect to these matters, please contact Brandon Walker or Melissa Fortunato by email at investigations@bespc.com, by telephone at (212) 355-4648, or by filling out this contact form.
