Natera, Inc. (NASDAQ: NTRA)
On January 1, 2022, an article from the New York Times called into question the accuracy of certain prenatal tests, alleging that positive results on tests are incorrect about 85 percent of the time, and that patients who receive a positive result are supposed to pursue follow-up testing, which “can cost thousands of dollars, come with a small risk of miscarriage and can’t be performed until later in pregnancy.”
On this news, Natera’s stock declined as much as 3.5% during intraday trading on January 3, 2022, thereby injuring investors.

On December 8, 2021, Spruce Point Capital Management (“Spruce Point”) published a short-seller report on Nuvei. Citing “a forensic financial and accounting review,” the Spruce Point report alleged that Nuvei “has covered up a pattern of business failures, lack of organic growth, and a web of relationships with individuals connected to major Ponzi Schemes and alleged fraudulent activities[.]”
Following publication of the Spruce Point report, Nuvei’s stock price fell $39.38 or 40.45%, to close at $57.97 per share on December 8, 2021.
