The case is pending in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York and is captioned Deslande v. Fortrea Holdings Inc., et al. , No. 1:25-cv-04630. Why was Fortrea Sued for Securities Fraud? Fortrea is a global contract research organization that provides biopharmaceutical product and medical device development solutions. In June 2023, Fortrea was spun off into a standalone, publicly traded company by Labcorp Holdings Inc. ('Labcorp'). In connection with the spin-off, Fortrea entered into several transition services agreements (the 'TSAs'), pursuant to which it agreed to pay Labcorp for certain transitional services over a set period. As alleged, Fortrea discussed the significant cost savings and margin improvements that would result from exiting the TSAs. In truth, Fortrea overstated the cost savings and margin improvement it would achieve by exiting the TSAs, as well as the amount of revenue it would generate from pre-spin projects. The Stock Declines as the Truth is Revealed On September 25, 2024, investment bank Jefferies published a report stating that the cost savings Fortrea would achieve from exiting the TSAs were '[n]ot as [m]aterial as [o]ne [m]ight [t]hink.'

Then, on March 3, 2025, Fortrea announced disappointing Q4 and full year 2024 financial results, revealing that the company's pre-spin projects 'have less revenue and less profitability than expected for 2025' and that 'post-spin work is not coming on fast enough to offset the pre-spin contract economics.' On this news, the price of Fortrea stock declined $3.47 per share, or over 25%, from a closing price of $13.85 per share on February 28, 2025, to $10.38 per share on March 3, 2025, the next trading day.

NEW YORK, July 20, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Leading securities law firm Bleichmar Fonti & Auld LLP announces that a lawsuit has been filed against Hims & Hers Health, Inc. (NYSE: HIMS) and certain of the Company's senior executives for potential violations of the federal securities laws. If you invested in Hims & Hers, you are encouraged to obtain additional information by visiting: Investors have until August 25, 2025, to ask the Court to be appointed to lead the case.

A subsequent complaint alleging substantially similar claims was also filed and is captioned Yaghsizian v. Hims & Hers Health, Inc., et al. , No. 25-cv-05321. Why was Hims & Hers Sued for Securities Fraud? Hims & Hers operates a telehealth platform that provides consumers with access to online consultations with licensed healthcare professionals, prescription medications, and a range of wellness products. On April 29, 2025, Hims & Hers and Novo Nordisk announced a 'long-term collaboration' starting with the immediate sale of Novo Nordisk's popular weight loss drug Wegovy on the Hims & Hers platform. The active ingredient in Wegovy is semaglutide. As alleged, Hims & Hers touted and misrepresented to investors the nature of its partnership with Novo Nordisk, including asserting that under the terms of the agreement His & Hers could offer both Wegovy and compounded semaglutide to its customers. Hims & Hers also allegedly represented to investors that its sale of compounded semaglutide complied with FDA regulations. The Stock Declines as the Truth is Revealed On June 23, 2025, Novo Nordisk announced that it was terminating the partnership, 'based on Hims & Hers deceptive promotion and selling of illegitimate, knockoff versions of Wegovy that put patient safety at risk' and alleged that Hims & Hers 'failed to adhere to the law which prohibits mass sales of compounded drugs.'
