NEW YORK, Nov. 29, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP, a leading national securities law firm, is investigating potential claims against Molina Healthcare, Inc. (“Molina” or the “Company”) (NYSE: MOH) and reminds investors of the December 2, 2025 deadline to seek the role of lead plaintiff in a federal securities class action that has been filed against the Company.
Faruqi & Faruqi is a leading national securities law firm with offices in New York, Pennsylvania, California and Georgia. The firm has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors since its founding in 1995. See www.faruqilaw.com.
As detailed below, the complaint alleges that the Company and its executives violated federal securities laws by making false and/or misleading statements and/or failing to disclose: (1) material, adverse facts concerning the Company’s “medical cost trend assumptions;” (2) that Molina was experiencing a “dislocation between premium rates and medical cost trend;” (3) that Molina’s near term growth was dependent on a lack of “utilization of behavioral health, pharmacy, and inpatient and outpatient services;” (4) as a result of the foregoing, Molina’s financial guidance for fiscal year 2025 was substantially likely to be cut; and (5) that, as a result of the foregoing, Defendants’ positive statements about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.
On July 7, 2025, before the market opened, Molina issued a press release announcing financial results for the second quarter of 2025 and slashing full year 2025 adjusted earnings per share guidance. The press release revealed the Company’s second quarter 2025 adjusted earnings of approximately $5.50 per share, which was “below its prior expectations” due to “medical cost pressures in all three lines of business.” The Company announced it “expects these medical cost pressures to continue into the second half of the year” and cut guidance for expected adjusted earnings per share 10.2% at the midpoint, from “at least $24.50 per share” to a “range of $21.50 to $22.50 per share.” The press release revealed Molina was experiencing a “short-term earnings pressure” from a “dislocation between premium rates and medical cost trend which has recently accelerated.”
On this news, Molina’s stock price fell $6.97, or 2.9%, to close at $232.61 per share on July 7, 2025, on unusually heavy trading volume.
Then, on July 23, 2025, after the market closed, Molina issued a press release reporting its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2025 and further slashing the Company’s full-year 2025 earnings guidance. The press release revealed, in part, that the Company’s “GAAP net income was $4.75 per diluted share for the second quarter of 2025, a decrease of 8% year over year;” and it “now expects its full year 2025 adjusted earnings to be no less than $19.00 per diluted share.” This represented another 13.6% cut to guidance of earnings per share at the midpoint, from the cut to guidance announced less than two weeks earlier. The Company also cut its guidance for its full year 2025 GAAP net income 27% to $912 million. The Company attributed its results a full year outlook to a “challenging medical cost trend environment,” including mere “utilization of behavioral health, pharmacy, and inpatient and outpatient services.” The Company alleged its guidance cut also reflected “new information gained in the quarterly closing process.”
On this news, Molina’s stock price fell $32.03, or 16.84%, to close at $158.22 per share on July 24, 2025, on unusually heavy trading volume.
The court-appointed lead plaintiff is the investor with the largest financial interest in the relief sought by the class who is adequate and typical of class members who directs and oversees the litigation on behalf of the putative class. Any member of the putative class may move the Court to serve as lead plaintiff through counsel of their choice, or may choose to do nothing and remain an absent class member. Your ability to share in any recovery is not affected by the decision to serve as a lead plaintiff or not.
Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP also encourages anyone with information regarding Molina’s conduct to contact the firm, including whistleblowers, former employees, shareholders and others.
