Deadline Alert: Molina Healthcare, Inc. (MOH) Shareholders Who Lost Money Urged to Contact Glancy Prongay & Murray LLP About Securities Fraud Lawsuit

Glancy Prongay & Murray LLP reminds investors of the upcoming December 2, 2025 deadline to file a lead plaintiff motion in the class action filed on behalf of investors who purchased or otherwise acquired Molina Healthcare, Inc. (“Molina” or the “Company”) (NYSE: MOH) securities between February 5, 2025 and July 23, 2025, inclusive (the “Class Period”).

What Happened?

On July 7, 2025, before the market opened, Molina issued a press release announcing financial results for the second quarter of 2025 and slashing full year 2025 adjusted earnings per share guidance. The press release revealed the Company’s second quarter 2025 adjusted earnings of approximately $5.50 per share, which was “below its prior expectations” due to “medical cost pressures in all three lines of business.” The Company announced it “expects these medical cost pressures to continue into the second half of the year” and cut guidance for expected adjusted earnings per share 10.2% at the midpoint, from “at least $24.50 per share” to a “range of $21.50 to $22.50 per share.” The press release revealed Molina was experiencing a “short-term earnings pressure” from a “dislocation between premium rates and medical cost trend which has recently accelerated.”

On this news, Molina’s stock price fell $6.97, or 2.9%, to close at $232.61 per share on July 7, 2025, on unusually heavy trading volume.

Then, on July 23, 2025, after the market closed, Molina issued a press release reporting its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2025 and further slashing the Company’s full-year 2025 earnings guidance. The press release revealed, in part, that the Company’s “GAAP net income was $4.75 per diluted share for the second quarter of 2025, a decrease of 8% year over year;” and it “now expects its full year 2025 adjusted earnings to be no less than $19.00 per diluted share.” This represented another 13.6% cut to guidance of earnings per share at the midpoint, from the cut to guidance announced less than two weeks earlier. The Company also cut its guidance for its full year 2025 GAAP net income 27% to $912 million. The Company attributed its results a full year outlook to a “challenging medical cost trend environment,” including mere “utilization of behavioral health, pharmacy, and inpatient and outpatient services.” The Company alleged its guidance cut also reflected “new information gained in the quarterly closing process.”

On this news, Molina’s stock price fell $32.03, or 16.84%, to close at $158.22 per share on July 24, 2025, on unusually heavy trading volume.

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 failed to disclose to investors: (1) material, adverse facts concerning the Company’s “medical cost trend assumptions”; (2) that Molina was experiencing a “dislocation between premium rates and medical cost trend”; (3) that Molina’s near term growth was dependent on a lack of “utilization of behavioral health, pharmacy, and inpatient and outpatient services”; (4) as a result of the foregoing, Molina’s financial guidance for fiscal year 2025 was substantially likely to be cut; and (5) that, as a result of the foregoing, Defendants’ positive statements about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.

If you purchased or otherwise acquired Molina securities during the Class Period, you may move the Court no later than December 2, 2025 to request appointment as lead plaintiff in this putative class action lawsuit.
