Kirby McInerney LLP is investigating whether Digital Turbine and members of its senior management violated federal securities laws, the firm said in a GlobeNewswire release dated November 11, 2026.

Digital Turbine's Delayed Results and $3.5 Million Revision

Digital Turbine is a mobile growth and monetization platform that connects advertisers, app developers, carriers and device makers across 82,000+ apps and 1 billion+ devices, according to company records. The company said on October 30, 2026 that it was moving its second quarter 2027 results from November 2, 2026 to November 7, 2026, stating that the delay gave it "additional time required to complete its review and finalization of the unaudited financial statements for the quarter." Its shares fell $1.70, or about 16.1%, from $10.57 to close at $8.87 that day.

On November 9, 2026, Digital Turbine released the results and said it had revised previously issued financial statements after identifying immaterial adjustments tied to contractual revenue share obligations from prior periods. The company said this understated revenue share expense by $3.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and understated accrued revenue share liabilities. Shares fell $4.05, or about 35.8%, from $11.30 on November 9, 2026 to close at $7.25 on November 10, 2026.

A second firm is also examining the company. Aktien reported on November 10, 2026 that Block & Leviton is investigating Digital Turbine for potential securities law violations and may file an action to recover losses for affected investors, following a stock drop of more than 20% after the company reported rising partner revenue-share costs. Kirby McInerney, a New York plaintiffs' firm focused on securities, antitrust, whistleblower and consumer litigation, asks investors to contact Lauren Molinaro.
