Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP Investigates Potential Claims for Ardent Health Investors

Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP, a well-known national securities law firm, has initiated an investigation into potential claims against Ardent Health, Inc. This investigation is specifically aimed at investors who may have incurred financial losses due to the company's recent disclosures and challenges.

Overview of the Investigation

The firm is reaching out to investors who acquired Ardent Health securities between July 18, 2024, and November 12, 2025. The firm encourages those affected to review their legal rights and consider becoming involved in a class action lawsuit, which seeks to hold the company accountable for alleged violations.

In a press release, James (Josh) Wilson, a partner at Faruqi & Faruqi, stated: "If you purchased or acquired securities in Ardent during the specified range and are interested in discussing your legal options, please reach out to me directly." He emphasized the urgency of the situation, reminding investors of the upcoming deadline on March 9, 2026, for potential lead plaintiffs to get involved in the class action lawsuit.

The Allegations Against Ardent Health

The investigation stems from serious allegations that Ardent Health and its executives may have misled investors by providing false or misleading statements about the company’s financial status, especially regarding its accounts receivable. Additionally, the company is accused of failing to disclose essential information related to its professional malpractice liability insurance, which was claimed to be adequate for potential claims arising from its operations.

The situation escalated on November 12, 2025, when Ardent reported its financial results for the third quarter of 2025. The company disclosed a staggering $43 million reduction in revenue, attributed to recent accounting changes, along with a $54 million increase in its professional liability reserves. This announcement led to a substantial drop in Ardent's stock price, plummeting by $4.75 per share (approximately 33.81%), closing at $9.30 per share the following day.

This stark decline in stock price raised significant concerns among investors, many of whom are now seeking legal recourse through the class action lawsuit. The lead plaintiff in such a case is typically the investor with the largest financial stake who is representative of the group affected, overseeing the litigation process.

Options for Affected Investors

Investors who wish to pursue their claims are encouraged to either take an active role as lead plaintiffs or remain as absentee members of the class. Notably, the decision regarding whether to serve as a lead plaintiff will not affect an individual’s eligibility to share in any recovery that may arise from the lawsuit.

Faruqi & Faruqi also welcomes input from anyone with information regarding Ardent's alleged misconduct, including former employees, shareholders, and whistleblowers. The firm is committed to protecting investors and ensuring accountability for breaches of securities laws.
