A securities class action lawsuit has been filed against EquipmentShare.com Inc. in the Southern District of New York. The case concerns the company's January 2026 IPO and securities purchased from January 23, 2026 through June 23, 2026.
The complaint alleges defendants made materially false and misleading statements about related party transactions. Investors were told key transactions were disclosed, and that some founder-linked dealings would be reduced.
A June 24, 2026 report alleged undisclosed related party transactions involving Schlacks-affiliated entities. EQPT fell over two trading days, and the stock later traded as low as $16.06 per share.
EquipmentShare operates an integrated cloud-based platform called T3, used for equipment rental and managing construction equipment. At the time of its IPO, the company also operated the OWN Program, under which third party participants could purchase equipment and place it on T3 for rental revenue sharing.
January 23, 2026 – June 23, 2026
Investors who purchased EquipmentShare.com Inc. securities during the Class Period may be eligible to seek recovery under federal securities laws.
The complaint challenges both EquipmentShare's IPO disclosures and later public statements during the trading period. EquipmentShare sold 30.5 million shares of Class A common stock at $24.50 per share in its IPO and received net proceeds of approximately $706 million. The Registration Statement described the company's OWN Program and disclosed transactions with entities owned or controlled by co-founders Jabbok Schlacks and William Schlacks.
According to the complaint, the Registration Statement represented that, other than the disclosed transactions, there were no related party transactions meeting the stated criteria. It also said that before the offering EquipmentShare expected to terminate or substantially reduce a number of transactions with entities owned or controlled by the co-founders. The lawsuit alleges those statements were materially false and misleading because the company participated in additional undisclosed related party transactions and had not terminated or substantially reduced a number of founder-linked transactions.
The complaint also cites statements after the IPO, including a March 18, 2026 press release, the company's March 19, 2026 Form 10-K for fiscal 2025, a May 13, 2026 press release, and the May 14, 2026 Form 10-Q for the first quarter of 2026. Those statements reported financial results and related party transaction figures, including revenue, accounts receivable, lease liabilities, finance lease liabilities, equipment sales, OWN Program payouts, and other income tied to related parties.
Plaintiffs allege defendants failed to disclose material adverse facts about EquipmentShare's business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, the complaint alleges defendants failed to disclose that the company participated in additional undisclosed related party transactions, had not terminated or substantially reduced certain transactions with entities owned or controlled by the co-founders, and that its financial statements were materially misleading. As a result, the complaint alleges defendants' positive statements lacked a reasonable basis.
Before the market opened on June 24, 2026, Umibozu Research published a report alleging that undisclosed related party transactions had netted entities affiliated with EquipmentShare's founders at least $77 million, with the true figure potentially substantially higher. The report alleged that the company maintained a high-net-worth individuals and family-office channel built around three undisclosed entities: EZ Equipment Zone, Bevel Financial, and Armada Fleet Management.
The report described the OWN Program as central to the alleged related party arrangement. It claimed EquipmentShare used OWN to funnel fees and other payments to related parties, and it identified a web of 130 Schlacks-affiliated entities that allegedly enabled self-dealing. The report estimated that Bevel had collected at least $24 million in origination fees from EZ assets alone and that Armada had generated at least $18 million in fees.
According to the complaint, the report contradicted EquipmentShare's IPO narrative that founder participation in OWN was being wound down. The report also questioned EquipmentShare's first quarter 2026 disclosure that there were no equipment sales to entities owned or controlled by the founders during the period.
Following the June 24, 2026 Umibozu Research report, EquipmentShare's stock fell $1.58, or 6.62%, to close at $22.30 per share on unusually heavy trading volume. The decline continued on June 25, 2026, when EQPT fell $2.61, or 11.7%, to close at $19.69 per share, also on unusually heavy trading volume.
By the commencement of the action, EquipmentShare stock had traded as low as $16.06 per share. The complaint states that this was a more than 34.5% decline from the $24.50 per share IPO price.
