SAN DIEGO — A class action lawsuit has been filed against Centene Corporation, accusing the healthcare provider and its top executives of violating federal securities laws. The case, known as Lunstrum v. Centene Corporation, is being managed by Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd LLP, seeking to represent individuals who purchased Centene securities during a specified period.
Investors who believe they have incurred substantial losses and would like to serve as lead plaintiff in the case can submit their information to the law firm. Interested parties are encouraged to contact attorneys J.C. Sanchez or Jennifer N. Caringal at Robbins Geller by calling 800-449-4900 or emailing them. The deadline to file lead plaintiff motions is September 8, 2025.
The lawsuit claims that Centene misled investors regarding its financial projections and growth expectations. It alleges that executives created a false narrative of strong enrollment figures and low morbidity rates, only to later reveal that over two-thirds of their market share experienced disappointing enrollment and rising morbidity levels.
On July 1, 2025, Centene retracted its previous guidance for the year, citing an analysis of the Health Insurance Marketplace that indicated slower-than-expected growth across 22 states, accounting for 72% of its marketplace membership. The company reduced its guidance for revenue to approximately $1.8 billion, translating to an adjusted diluted earnings per share of $2.75. Following the announcement, Centene’s stock price plummeted over 40%.
The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 allows any investor who acquired Centene securities during the class period to seek the role of lead plaintiff. This individual must have the most significant financial interest in the matter and should fairly represent the class involved in the lawsuit. The selected lead plaintiff will guide the case on behalf of all class members and can choose their legal representation.
