Notice to Pension Funds, Asset Managers, and Fiduciaries
NEW YORK, April 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Institutional investors holding positions in Medpace Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: MEDP) during the period April 22, 2025 through February 9, 2026 may wish to evaluate lead plaintiff opportunities in a pending securities class action. Request an institutional investor loss assessment. You may also contact Joseph E. Levi, Esq. at jlevi@levikorsinsky.com or (212) 363-7500.
Medpace shares fell $84.30 per share, a decline of more than 15.9%, after the Company disclosed fourth quarter 2025 results that allegedly contradicted repeated assurances made throughout the Class Period. The lead plaintiff deadline is June 8, 2026.
Notice to Institutional Holders
Pension funds, mutual funds, hedge funds, and other institutional asset managers that acquired MEDP shares between April 22, 2025 and February 9, 2026 should assess whether fiduciary obligations require evaluation of this recovery opportunity. The securities action, filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Ohio, asserts claims under Section 10(b) and Section 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
ERISA and Fiduciary Considerations
Fiduciaries managing portfolios that held MEDP during the Class Period face distinct obligations. The lawsuit contends that Medpace management provided materially misleading projections regarding the Company's anticipated book-to-bill ratio while concealing deteriorating backlog cancellation trends. The resulting share price correction created portfolio-level losses for institutional holders.
Fiduciary Obligations and Recovery Options
- Institutional holders owe a duty of prudence to evaluate available recovery mechanisms when portfolio companies face securities fraud allegations
- Lead plaintiff appointment provides direct oversight of litigation strategy, settlement negotiations, and counsel selection
- The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act favors institutional investors with the largest financial interest in the outcome
- Participation as lead plaintiff carries no additional financial cost; counsel fees are paid from any recovery obtained
- Institutional holders who do not seek lead plaintiff status remain eligible to participate in any class-wide recovery
- Fiduciaries should document their evaluation of lead plaintiff opportunities as part of prudent fund management

Portfolio Impact Assessment
The action alleges that Medpace's repeated projection of a 1.15 book-to-bill ratio for the second half of fiscal year 2025, combined with assurances that cancellation rates were not indicative of underlying business weakness, caused shares to trade at artificially inflated levels throughout the Class Period. Institutional portfolios that accumulated positions based on these representations may have sustained material losses when the corrective disclosure revealed actual fourth quarter performance.
"Institutional investors play a critical role in securities class actions. Their participation as lead plaintiff ensures vigorous representation of the entire class and brings the resources and sophistication necessary to hold corporate management accountable for alleged disclosure failures." -- Joseph E. Levi, Esq.
Case Summary
The complaint, as pleaded, charges that Medpace and certain officers disseminated false and misleading statements concerning the Company's book-to-bill outlook, cancellation rate behavior, and revenue concentration risks. The corrective disclosure on February 9, 2026 revealed a book-to-bill ratio of 1.04 for the fourth quarter, significantly below the 1.15 projection that management had maintained across multiple earnings calls.

Q: What is a lead plaintiff and why does it matter?A: A lead plaintiff is the investor appointed by the court to represent the entire class.
