Ardent Health Hit With Multiple Securities Suits Over Receivables as Lead‑Plaintiff Deadline Nears March 9

Plaintiffs cite disclosures showing a $43 million revenue cut with a $54 million reserve jump after a shift to a new receivables system.

Overview

  • Complaints are pending in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee, including Postiwala v. Ardent Health, Inc., No. 3:26-cv-00022.
  • The proposed class period runs from July 18, 2024 to Nov. 12, 2025, and motions to be appointed lead plaintiff are due March 9, 2026.
  • Filings by Hagens Berman, Rosen Law, Pomerantz, Kahn Swick & Foti, and Bleichmar Fonti & Auld allege misleading statements about accounts receivable collectability and timely write‑offs.
  • Plaintiffs reference company remarks that it relied on detailed hindsight analyses even as a 180‑day cliff governed prior reserves, with the new Kodiak RCA system recognizing reserves earlier.
  • Law firm notices also note Ardent’s guidance reduction of about $57.5 million and a roughly 33% share‑price drop on Nov. 13, 2025, while urging investor and whistleblower contacts.
