On May 4, 2026, the price of the Company’s shares closed at $67.93. After hours, the Company disclosed that its Q1 financial results had missed for both its exome and genome lines, and cut its 2026 guidance from $540-555 million to $475-490 million.
During the related earnings call, the Company disclosed that the average reimbursement rate came in at $3,300, or $200 below expectations. It also disclosed that it had taken a goodwill impairment charge of $31.3 million as a part of the Fabric Genomics acquisition – after paying $36.5 million for the Company only a year before.
On this news, GeneDx’s share price fell over 49%, or $33.42 per share, from the close on the previous day.
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, it alleges that Defendants failed to disclose to investors that: (1) the Company may have misled investors about the importance of Fabric Genomics; (2) as a result, the Company’s margins would suffer; (3) the company’s average reimbursement rates were not as “durable” as previously disclosed; (4) as a result of the foregoing, the Company’s gross margins would decline; and (5) as a result of the foregoing, Defendants’ positive statements about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects were materially false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.
