What is ContextLogic Inc.?
E-commerce firm ContextLogic Inc., known as Wish, raised $1.1 billion in its initial public offering (IPO) by selling shares at $24 each, reaching the high end of its target range and giving the company a market valuation of $14.1 billion.
Wish, founded in 2010 by former Google and Yahoo executives, benefited from a surge in online shopping during the COVID-19 pandemic. The company, which served over 100 million monthly active users and sold approximately 2 million products daily, reported a 32% revenue increase to $1.7 billion for the first nine months of 2020. However, net losses also increased to $176 million from $5 million the previous year.

Risks Associated with Small Stock Offerings
There are numerous risks involved in investing in small stock offerings. These stocks may have low trading volumes, making it difficult to buy or sell shares at desired prices and many small companies may not provide comprehensive financial disclosures or have limited operating histories.
Small stocks can also be more volatile than larger, established companies, leading to significant price fluctuations.
Broker Due Diligence
Broker due diligence is a process undertaken by brokerage firms to ensure they are recommending and selling investment products appropriate for their clients. This process protects the interests of the brokerage firm and its clients by ensuring that the investments offered are suitable for the client’s investment objectives, risk tolerance, and financial situation.
If a broker or brokerage firm makes an unsuitable investment recommendation or fails to disclose the associated risks adequately, they may be found liable for investment losses in a FINRA arbitration claim. Fortunately, FINRA provides an arbitration forum for investors to resolve such disputes.
Class Action vs. Individual FINRA Arbitration Lawsuit
You may wonder whether a large class action lawsuit is a better litigation option than an individual FINRA arbitration case. The answer depends on many factors, but typically if the loss sustained is large (say larger than $100,000), an individual arbitration claim is likely a better option. Class actions as a recovery option are more appropriate for grouping large numbers of individuals who have small claims – too small to generally pursue individually.
