Background on the CareDx Securities Class Litigation

CareDx is a San Francisco-based company that sells diagnostic services and products to organ transplant recipients.

The action alleges that, throughout the Class Period, CareDx misled investors and/or failed to disclose that: (1) defendants had engaged in a variety of improper and illegal schemes to inflate revenue and demand for testing services; (2) these practices subjected the Company to an undisclosed risk of regulatory scrutiny; and (3) these practices artificially inflated the revenue reported from CareDx’s testing services throughout the Class Period.

On October 28, 2021, CareDx disclosed that it was subject of at least three government investigations (by the U.S. Department of Justice, the Securities Exchange Commission, and a state regulatory agency), concerning the Company’s business practices related to its kidney testing and phlebotomy services, as well as its accounting and public reporting practices. On this news, the price of CareDx shares dropped $19.34, or 27.5%, from a closing price of $70.34 per share on October 28, 2021, to close at $51.00 per share on October 29, 2021, on extremely heavy trading volume.

On April 15, 2022, CareDx’s former Head of Community Nephrology, Dr. Michael Olymbios, sued the Company, alleging, among other things, that the Company had “engaged in various forms of clinical and marketing schemes in an effort to justify [CareDx product] AlloSure’s use, even when that use lacked clinical support and fell outside of the conditional approval extended to it [by Medicare].” On this news, the price of CareDx stock fell $2.86, or 8.1 %, from a closing price of $35.41 on the previous trading day, April 14, 2022, to close at $32.55 per share on the next trading day of April 18, 2022.

On May 5, 2022, CareDx announced that the Company’s testing service revenue fell significantly short of analysts’ expectations, and that average sales price had declined by approximately 4.9% compared with the final quarter of 2021. On this news, the price of CareDx stock dropped $5.88, or 18.6%, from a closing price of $31.66 per share on May 5, 2022, to close at $25.87 per share on May 6, 2022.
