SelectQuote (SLQT) Shares Slide Further on Disappointing Earnings Amidst DOJ Scrutiny- Hagens Berman
SLQT Investors with Losses Encouraged to Contact the Firm
SAN FRANCISCO, May 29, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — SelectQuote Inc. (NYSE: SLQT) faced renewed investor pressure on Monday, May 12, 2025, as its shares tumbled another 12% following the release of quarterly results that fell short of earnings and revenue expectations. This decline compounds the over 19% drop experienced on May 1st after the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) announced a lawsuit alleging violations of the False Claims Act against the insurance brokerage and several major health insurers.
Hagens Berman is investigating potential violations of the U.S. securities laws and encourages SelectQuote investors who suffered substantial losses to submit your losses now. The firm also urges persons with knowledge who may be able to assist in the investigation to contact its attorneys.

Earnings Miss Adds to Investor Woes
For the quarter ended March 2025, SelectQuote reported earnings of $0.03 per share, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.04 per share. The company also posted revenues of $408.16 million, falling short of the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $417.01 million by 2.12%.
Mounting Troubles Weigh on Investor Confidence
This financial disappointment adds to the headwinds facing SelectQuote, which is already grappling with serious legal allegations. The DOJ lawsuit, unveiled on May 1st, accuses SelectQuote, along with other brokers and health insurance giants Aetna, Anthem, and Humana, of False Claims Act violations related to the marketing of Medicare Advantage (MA) plans.
The lawsuit alleges that, from 2016 through at least 2021, insurers paid significant sums to SelectQuote and other brokers for Medicare Advantage enrollments. The DOJ contends that, rather than providing unbiased guidance, SelectQuote and other brokers steered beneficiaries toward plans offering the highest commissions, potentially disregarding the suitability of those plans. The complaint further details allegations of incentivizing sales based on these commissions, establishing dedicated sales teams for specific high-commission plans, and instances of allegedly refusing to sell plans from insurers with lower commission structures. Discrimination against MA beneficiaries with disabilities is also alleged.
Hagens Berman's Investigation
The confluence of a weaker-than-anticipated earnings report and ongoing legal entanglements has amplified anxieties surrounding SelectQuote's financial stability and operational integrity. According to Reed Kathrein, the Hagens Berman partner spearheading an inquiry into the company, 'The recent earnings figures underscore our existing concerns about SelectQuote's alleged steering tactics in light of the DOJ's allegations.'

(NYSE: BRMK) common stock as of the record date of the May 2023 merger between Broadmark and Ready Capital Corporation (NYSE: RC) ('Merger'), have until July 28, 2025 to seek appointment as lead plaintiff of the Broadmark class action lawsuit. Captioned Grant v. Broadmark Realty Capital, No. 25-cv-01013 (W.D. Wash.), the Broadmark class action lawsuit charges Broadmark, Ready Capital, certain of Broadmark's and Ready Capital's top executives and directors, and Ready Capital's external asset manager with violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

On May 30, 2023, Broadmark shareholders voted to approve the merger of Broadmark and Ready Capital, which closed the next day. The Broadmark class action lawsuit alleges that the proxy statement used to solicit the support of Broadmark shareholders for the Merger contained false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) a material portion of borrowers within Ready Capital's originated portfolio were experiencing significant financial distress due to high interest rates that had increased their borrowing costs; (ii) an oversupply of multifamily properties in Ready Capital's markets of operation had severely limited the ability of Ready Capital borrowers to raise their rents by the amounts necessary to cover their growing debt costs; (iii) a major development project acquired in Ready Capital's acquisition of Mosaic Real Estate Credit, LLC, Mosaic Real Estate Credit TE, LLC, and MREC International Incentive Split, LP (a Ritz-Carlton located in Portland, Oregon), which accounted for approximately $500 million of Ready Capital's acquired loan portfolio, had experienced catastrophic setbacks since its inception, including significant cost overruns, construction delays, and funding shortfalls; (iv) as a result, Ready Capital's Current Expected Credit Loss reserves and expected credit losses were materially understated; and (v) consequently, Ready Capital's financial projections regarding Ready Capital's Distributable Earnings per share, dividends per share, and book value per share had no basis in fact when made. The price of Ready Capital stock has remained significantly below the Merger price as of the time the Broadmark class action lawsuit was filed. The plaintiff is represented by Robbins Geller, which has extensive experience in prosecuting investor class actions including actions involving financial fraud.
