Faruqi & Faruqi Investigates Investor Claims Against Treace Medical Concepts Amid Stock Drop
In a recently published investor alert, Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP has initiated an investigation into potential claims against Treace Medical Concepts, Inc., a company listed under the NASDAQ with the ticker TMCI. The firm is well-known in the realm of securities law and has a history of aiding investors in challenging circumstances. This investigation follows a significant decline in Treace Medical's stock price and a subsequent announcement regarding lowered revenue projections for 2024, which was made on May 7, 2024.
The core issues that are at the heart of this investigation involve allegations that Treace Medical and its executives engaged in misleading practices concerning their financial performance and competitive positioning. Reports indicate that the company experienced slumping demand for its flagship product, the Lapiplasty 3D Bunion Correction System. As competition has intensified, not only from traditional surgical interventions but also from emerging alternatives, concerns surrounding the company’s claims about the growing market interest in its technologies have arisen.
According to the details released, Treace Medical saw its revenue forecast reduce dramatically. They adjusted their estimated earnings from a range of $220 million to $225 million down to between $201 million and $211 million. This announcement, coupled with information disseminated during an earnings call, indicated that competitive pressures from both minimally invasive surgical techniques and inferior knockoff products have hindered growth of their primary product, the Lapiplasty system.
During the earnings call, representatives from Treace acknowledged these challenges, prompting investors to react. The day following the announcement, the company's stock fell by $6.95—nearly 63%—to close at $4.17 per share, provoking further distress among stakeholders.
Faruqi & Faruqi is calling upon investors who purchased Treace Medical securities between May 8, 2023, to May 7, 2024, and who consequently suffered losses, to reach out to their office for further discussion about their rights and potential options moving forward. The firm has established a deadline, June 10, 2025, for affected investors to file claims and potentially assume the role of lead plaintiff in the intended federal securities class action lawsuit.
Moreover, those with relevant information regarding Treace's operations, including whistleblowers and former employees, are being encouraged to contact Faruqi & Faruqi to support the investigation. This situation exemplifies the increasingly competitive market in the medical devices sector, particularly in areas subject to rapid innovation and evolving surgical practices.
Faruqi & Faruqi has built a strong reputation since its founding in 1995, successfully recovering substantial amounts for investors by holding companies accountable for misrepresentation and other unethical practices. The firm operates from multiple locations across the U.S., including New York, Pennsylvania, California, and Georgia, thus positioning itself as a significant player in securities law.
