Case Allegations: The Agilon lawsuit alleges that throughout the Class Period and in the SPO materials, Defendants issued false and misleading statements about Agilon's medical costs, including about: (1) the Company's purported visibility into utilization trends and medical costs; (2) Agilon's increased medical costs incurred prior to and during the Class Period due to higher utilization of healthcare by Medicare Advantage patients; (3) the adequacy of its incurred-but-not-reported reserve ("IBNR Reserve"); (4) the effectiveness of Agilon's business model; (5) Agilon's overly-optimistic financial guidance; and (6) the Company's risk disclosures that mischaracterized as mere possibilities adverse facts that had already materialized.

On November 2, 2023, Agilon reported lower-than-expected third quarter 2023 results due to increased utilization and medical costs, lowered the Company's 2023 full-year revenue outlook, and informed investors that Agilon had increased its IBNR Reserve to account for prior period medical expenses. On this news, Agilon's stock price fell $2.23, or 13.2%, to close at $14.66 on November 3, 2023.

Then, on January 5, 2024, Agilon lowered its 2023 profit forecasts and reduced its 2023 Medical Margin and Adjusted EBITDA guidance, citing high-than-expected medical costs. Specifically, Agilon reduced its 2023 Medical Margin and Adjusted EBITDA outlooks by more than $110 million and $73 million, respectively. On this news, Agilon's stock fell a further $3.45, or 28.6%, to close at $8.63 on January 5, 2024.
