The Gross Law Firm notifies investors that a class action has commenced in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Ohio on behalf of shareholders of Medpace Holdings, Inc. who purchased common stock between April 22, 2025 and February 9, 2026.
According to the complaint, defendants provided overwhelmingly positive statements to investors while, at the same time, disseminating false and misleading statements and/or concealing material adverse facts concerning the true state of Medpace's backlog cancellation rate. Defendants continuously touted "well behaved" cancellation rates. Furthermore, Medpace made clear that cancellations were not caused by weak business or a weak funding environment, providing investors with overly positive growth expectations that could not maintain the projected 1.15 book-to-bill ratio. On February 9, 2026, Medpace issued a press release announcing the Company's fourth quarter 2025 book-to-bill ratio of 1.04, well below the guidance of 1. 15. Following this news, the price of Medpace's common stock declined dramatically. From a closing market price of $530.35 per share on February 9, 2026, Medpace's common stock price fell to $446. 05 per share on February 10, 2026, a decline of more than 15.9%.
