LifeMD Securities Suit Intensifies as Lead Plaintiff Deadline Nears
Plaintiffs allege LifeMD concealed rising customer acquisition costs alongside elevated refunds at RexMD, leading to a 44% share plunge.
Overview
- Multiple investor firms, including Rosen, Pomerantz, Faruqi & Faruqi, Berger Montague, and Hagens Berman, are urging eligible shareholders to seek lead-plaintiff status by October 27, 2025.
- The federal case, captioned Johnston v. LifeMD, Inc., is proceeding in the Eastern District of New York and targets purchases within the May 7 to August 5, 2025 class period.
- Filings claim the company overstated its competitive position and raised 2025 guidance without properly accounting for higher acquisition costs in RexMD and for obesity drugs such as Wegovy and Zepbound.
- LifeMD cut its full-year outlook with its August 5, 2025 quarterly release, after which shares fell roughly 44.8% on August 6 following disclosures of operational strains at RexMD.
- No class has been certified, and firms are also soliciting tips from whistleblowers and former employees as investors consider motions for appointment as lead plaintiff.
