Klarna Group (NYSE:KLAR) announced on April 10, 2026, that the Patent and Market Court in Stockholm has postponed its judgment in the antitrust damages lawsuit filed by PriceRunner, a Klarna subsidiary, against Google.
Originally scheduled for release on April 15, the verdict is now expected on June 10, 2026.
The court notified both parties that additional time is required to finalize the judgment, though it offered no further explanation for the nearly two-month rescheduling.
The proceedings involve claims that Google’s search practices systematically disadvantaged independent comparison-shopping platforms in favor of its own services, a matter that follows years of regulatory scrutiny across Europe.
PriceRunner, which was acquired by Klarna in 2022, is seeking damages for what it describes as unfair competition.
The court's eventual decision will be a significant milestone in the ongoing legal friction between European technology firms and global search giants.
Klarna cautioned investors that the outcome of the proceedings remains inherently uncertain.
The company noted that there is no assurance PriceRunner will succeed on the merits of liability or the determination of damages.
Furthermore, any potential award would be subject to a lengthy appeals process by Google, existing sharing arrangements with former PriceRunner shareholders and litigation funders, and applicable taxation.
