Broadridge Financial Solutions’ latest Global Class Action Annual Report said global securities class actions delivered more than $4 billion in investor recoveries in 2025, down from $5.2 billion in 2024 but still elevated amid volatile markets and more complex cross-border frameworks. The report highlights rising AI-related securities litigation, growing momentum for opt-in and collective actions—especially in Europe—continued growth in ESG-focused claims, and a moderation in financial antitrust settlements. Broadridge also noted U.S. federal securities filings edged down to 205 cases in 2025, while SPAC- and merger-related settlements accounted for a disproportionate share of recoveries.
