Medpace Holdings, Inc. (MDP) Investigation

Medpace Holdings, Inc. is facing scrutiny over its recent financial performance and public statements, with prominent shareholder rights firm Hagens Berman launching an investigation into the company’s actions. The probe centers on the contract research organization’s prior assurances of robust growth and a strengthening backlog, which were contradicted by its most recent earnings report.

On July 23, Medpace sent shockwaves through the market when it revealed a significantly lower-than-expected book-to-bill ratio for the second quarter, a key metric of revenue growth. The company blamed “elevated project cancellations” for the shortfall, a claim that has raised eyebrows among investors and analysts alike.

William Blair analyst Max Smock described the results as “shocking” and “alarming,” noting a stark discrepancy between the company’s previous guidance and the actual performance. The unexpected news caused Medpace’s share price to plummet by 18% on the day of the announcement.

In light of these developments, Hagens Berman has initiated an investigation into whether Medpace may have violated U.S. securities laws.

There are multiple law firms participating, do I need to contact all of them?

No, you do not need to contact all participating law firms. Generally, class-action investigations and lawsuits are consolidated into a single case to streamline the legal process, and attorneys from only a few law firms are selected to serve in a leadership role on the consolidated case. Hagens Berman has a proven track record of being appointed to leadership roles in complex, multidistrict litigation regarding investor fraud and other consumer rights issues, and your claim will be handled by attorneys who have helped secure approximately $325 billion in class-action settlements on behalf of individuals who have suffered due to corporate malfeasance and the wrongdoing of other powerful institutions.

AM I ELIGIBLE?

What is the threshold amount to be eligible? What are “substantial” losses?

The threshold amount and the definition of "substantial" losses may vary depending on a number of factors specific to the case, including the size of the company, market cap, shares outstanding and who holds them and the damages alleged by the fraud. In general, to be eligible to participate in a class-action lawsuit, you must be able to demonstrate that you suffered financial losses as a result of the alleged wrongdoing and that your losses meet the criteria set by the court or law firm.
