Pomerantz Law Firm Investigates Allegations Against MediaAlpha, Inc. for Potential Securities Fraud
Pomerantz Law Firm Investigates Claims Against MediaAlpha, Inc.
On January 2, 2025, the Pomerantz Law Firm announced its investigation into claims regarding MediaAlpha, Inc. (NYSE: MAX) on behalf of its shareholders. Investors who feel affected by these developments are urged to contact Pomerantz directly, as the firm is looking into potential instances of securities fraud or unethical business practices by MediaAlpha and its executives.
The investigation stems from a report released by Wolfpack Research on June 24, 2024. This report accused MediaAlpha of participating in fraudulent activities, particularly in their health insurance segment. Wolfpack alleged that MediaAlpha employed misleading advertisements and deceptive websites aimed at duping consumers into surrendering personal information in exchange for health insurance quotes. The firm claimed that nearly 78% of MediaAlpha’s partners in the health insurance lead-buying arena were involved in illicit operations or violating telemarketing laws.
Consequently, following the release of the report, MediaAlpha saw a significant drop in its stock prices, falling by $1.92 or 11.84% to settle at $14.29 by June 25, 2024. This downturn represented a worrying trend for the company amid escalating scrutiny.
Further compounding the company's troubles, on November 4, 2024, MediaAlpha disclosed in a regulatory filing that they had received a warning from the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). The FTC indicated their readiness to file a complaint against MediaAlpha, citing violations of multiple regulatory provisions, including the Federal Trade Commission Act. They proposed seeking injunctions and civil penalties against the company, leading to even more panic among shareholders. The immediate market reaction was stark; MediaAlpha's stock price declined by $4.46 or 27.74% to close at $11.62 the following day.
