- Legal Investigation Launched: Faruq & Faruqi, LLP is investigating SLM Corporation for potential securities violations between July 25 and August 14, 2025, urging affected investors to contact them before the February 17, 2026 deadline to discuss their legal rights.
- Rising Delinquency Rates: A report from TD Cowen indicated that SLM's early-stage delinquencies rose by 45 basis points in July 2025, exceeding seasonal expectations, which has led to a decline in investor confidence regarding the company's financial health and directly impacted its stock price.
- Stock Price Decline: Following the TD Cowen report, SLM's stock price fell by $2.67, or 8.09%, closing at $30.32 per share on August 15, 2025, reflecting market concerns about the company's future prospects.
- Investor Rights Reminder: Faruq & Faruqi encourages investors to consider becoming lead plaintiffs in the class action to oversee the litigation process, and invites anyone with relevant information to contact the firm to provide insights.
