# Zalando plunges after German regulator opens accounting review

**[The Next Web](https://daily.dev/sources/tnw)** · 4 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

Zalando shares fell as much as 20% in premarket trading after Germany's financial regulator BaFin opened a review of the company's consolidated accounts.

Zalando described the matter as a purely formal, non-material issue with no impact on its financial KPIs.

The sharp market reaction was amplified by a broader tech sell-off and BaFin's post-Wirecard reputation for rigorous scrutiny.
