Investors Alert: Class Action Lawsuit Against SelectQuote Inc.
SelectQuote, Inc. (NYSE: SLQT) is currently facing a class action lawsuit that has put many investors on alert. The lawsuit, which is pending in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, implicates the company and certain executives in serious allegations of failing to disclose crucial material information during the defined class period. This period extends from September 9, 2020, to May 1, 2025, and affects those who purchased the company's securities within this timeframe.

Allegations Against SelectQuote
The heart of the lawsuit revolves around claims filed by the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) on May 1, 2025. The DOJ alleges that SelectQuote engaged in illegal practices, including receiving substantial kickbacks from insurance corporations in exchange for guiding Medicare beneficiaries towards specific insurers' plans. These alleged kickbacks reportedly began as early as 2016 and continued until at least 2021. Furthermore, it is claimed that SelectQuote conspired with major insurance providers to unjustly discriminate against Medicare beneficiaries considered less profitable, which notably included those with disabilities.
A striking accusation made against the company states that it assured investors of its provision of "unbiased coverage comparisons;" however, the DOJ's complaint asserts that in practice, the company consistently directed beneficiaries to plans offered by insurers who compensated them the most, irrespective of the actual quality or appropriateness of the plans.
Impact on Share Prices
On the day these allegations were published, SelectQuote's stock witnessed a dramatic drop of
19.2%, closing at
$2.56 per share, following heavy trading volumes. This decline reflects the market's negative reaction to the serious legal challenges facing the company and raises essential questions about its future viability.
