Apollo Global Management, Inc. (NYSE: APO)

This litigation is for anyone who acquired securities in Apollo Global Management, Inc. (NYSE: APO) from May 10, 2021 through February 21, 2026.

The lawsuit alleges that the Company and certain of its executives violated federal law. Specifically, the lawsuit alleges that the Company misled investors regarding its financial condition. More specifically, the lawsuit alleges that the Company misled investors by telling investors that the Company never did business with Jeffrey Epstein when the Company had, in fact, done business with Jeffrey Epstein.

On February 1, 2026, the Financial Times reported that “Top Apollo Global Management executives including chief Marc Rowan held wide-ranging discussions over the firm’s tax arrangements with Jeffrey Epstein throughout the 2010s, despite the private capital firm having previously said it ‘never did any business’ with the child sex offender.” According to FT, the files reveal that Rowan and other executives “repeatedly corresponded with Epstein,” including internal details of Apollo’s tax receivable agreement calculations. On this news, the price of the Company’s stock dropped precipitously on unusually heavy trading volume. Then, on February 17, 2026, The Financial Times published an article titled, “SEC urged to investigate Apollo over Epstein ties.” The article reported that the American Federation of Teachers and the American Association of University Professors “told the SEC’s enforcement director Margaret Ryan in a letter on Tuesday that they believed Apollo’s communications to investors ‘give an inaccurate and incomplete picture of the firm and its partners’ connections to Epstein.’” On this news, the price of the Company’s stock again dropped precipitously on unusually heavy trading volume. Finally, on February 21, 2026, CNN published an article titled, “How Wall Street’s Apollo got tangled up again in the Epstein files.”  The article contained new information and included reporting on Apollo Global’s response to the letter sent by the teacher’s union. The article further quoted Eleanor Bloxham, founder and CEO of The Value Alliance Company, which advises boards and executives, who said the unions have a “strong case” for pushing for an SEC investigation. On this news, the price of the Company’s stock again dropped precipitously on unusually heavy trading volume.
