PetMed Express, Inc. (NASDAQ: PETS)

On June 10, 2025, PetMed issued a press release "announc[ing] it is delaying the release of the Company's fourth quarter and fiscal year 2025 earnings release and subsequent conference call, which had been scheduled for June 10, 2025, because the Company requires additional time to complete the year-end audit process."

On this news, PetMed's stock price fell $0.47 per share, or 11.22%, to close at $3.72 per share on June 11, 2025.

GeneDx Holdings Corp. (NASDAQ: WGS)

On February 5, 2025, Grizzly Research ("Grizzly") published a report entitled "Insiders Attest That GeneDx (Nasdaq: WGS) Is Actively Committing Widespread Fraud". The Grizzly report asserted, among other things, that GeneDx's "growth is largely an illusion, driven by fraudulent schemes and illegal tactics deliberately aimed at exploiting Medicaid and Medicare systems to artificially inflate revenue"; that "[t]estimonies from former employees and ongoing litigation suggest that GeneDx has inflated its revenue through an illegal practice known as ‘code stacking'", which "enables the company to bill insurance providers for services that do not meet the required criteria"; and that "CEO Katherine Stueland and CFO Kevin Feeley have consistently sold their shares immediately upon vesting, without ever engaging in open market purchases", a "pattern suggest[ing] that insiders may be aware of an imminent risk that will significantly impact the company."

On this news, GeneDx's stock price fell $4.84 per share, or 6.72%, to close at $67.18 per share on February 5, 2025.
