Faruqi & Faruqi Investigates PACS Group

In a recent development, Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP, a prominent name in the securities law arena, has initiated an investigation targeting PACS Group, Inc. This investigation is particularly relevant for investors who incurred losses exceeding $50,000 as a result of their dealings with the company. Investors who hold PACS Group shares during a specific period are urged to seek legal guidance.

Background of PACS Group's Concerns

On April 11, 2024, PACS Group made headlines with its initial public offering (IPO), where it sold over 21 million shares at an impressive price of $21.00 each. Unfortunately, the honeymoon period for PACS seemed short-lived when investigations into the company's operational practices surfaced by November 2024. Allegations against PACS Group indicate that the company may have engaged in fraudulent activities, such as submitting false Medicare claims that sensationally inflated its financial performance from 2020 to 2023.

PACS Group faced scrutiny after a revealing report from Hindenburg Research, which claimed that the company orchestrated a scheme to maintain its revenue by unnecessarily billing Medicare for thousands of referrals related to respiratory and sensory integration therapies, regardless of clinical necessity. The investigation exposed various irregularities, including falsified documentation which led to inflated claims regarding staffing and licensure.

Implications for Investors

The implications of these allegations were felt immediately in the stock market. Following the release of the Hindenburg report, PACS Group's share price plummeted by approximately 27.78% to close at $31.01 per share. By November 6, 2024, news of a postponed third-quarter earnings report and federal investigations further exacerbated the situation, leading to a further decline in stock value to $18.09, marking a significant drop from the IPO price.

Call to Action for Investors

As of December 5, 2024, Faruqi & Faruqi is proactively encouraging PACS Group investors to come forward and discuss their legal options. Those who faced financial setbacks during the class period should consider contacting Josh Wilson, a partner at Faruqi & Faruqi, for personalized guidance on the next steps. The firm emphasizes that the deadline to seek the lead plaintiff role in a federal securities class action against PACS Group is January 13, 2024.

The law firm reiterates that any PACS Group investor interested in joining the lawsuit or sharing information about the company’s dealings, including whistleblowers and former employees, should reach out promptly.
