What Happened?

On February 9, 2026, Medpace released its fourth quarter 2025 financial results, revealing a book-to-bill ratio of 1.04, well below the Company’s guidance of 1.15. The Company attributed the miss to backlog cancellations being “the highest they’ve been in over a year.”

On this news, Medpace’s stock price fell $84.30, or 15.9%, to close at $446.05 per share on February 10, 2026, thereby injuring investors.

What Is The Lawsuit About?

The complaint filed in this class action alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants: (1) consistently oversold the Company's projected book-to-bill ratio for fourth quarter 2025; (2) knew or recklessly disregarded the impact that cancellations have on the Company's book-to-bill ratio; (3) frequently claimed that the projection of a 1.15 book-to-bill ratio for fourth quarter 2025 was reasonable and achievable and that cancellations were not a sign of a weak business environment; (4) reassured investors that the Company was not concerned about the lack of diversity in its pre-backlog; (5) stated that, despite the uptick in metabolic growth, the Company's upside was broad-based and not isolated to any handful of studies; and (6) as a result, Defendants’ positive statements about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.
