SelectQuote (SLQT) Securities Lawsuit: What Investors Need to Know - Hagens Berman

San Francisco, California--(Newsfile Corp. - August 19, 2025) - A securities class action lawsuit has been filed against SelectQuote (NYSE: SLQT) after the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) announced it was intervening in a separate lawsuit against the company. The news of the DOJ's involvement caused a significant 19% drop in SelectQuote's stock price on May 1, 2025.

The class action, known as Pahlkotter v. SelectQuote, Inc. et al., No. 1:25-cv-06620 (S.D.N.Y.), seeks to represent investors who bought or otherwise acquired SelectQuote securities between September 9, 2020, and May 1, 2025.

Hagens Berman urges SelectQuote investors who suffered substantial losses to submit your losses now.

Allegations of Misleading Statements and Illegal Kickbacks

The lawsuit centers on claims that SelectQuote made false and misleading statements to investors and failed to disclose critical information about its business practices, particularly concerning its Medicare Advantage (MA) sales.

Despite the company's public claims of offering "unbiased advice" and "unbiased comparison shopping" for MA plans, the complaint alleges that, in reality, SelectQuote did not disclose that it:

• Directed Medicare beneficiaries to certain insurers' plans based on compensation rather than the plan's quality or suitability for the customer.
• Received illegal kickbacks for steering beneficiaries to specific insurers.
• Failed to comply with applicable laws and regulations.
• Was vulnerable to legal sanctions, including potential violations of the federal False Claims Act.

The complaint filed by the DOJ on May 1, 2025, supported these allegations, claiming that from 2016 through at least 2021, SelectQuote received "tens of millions of dollars" in "illegal kickbacks" for steering Medicare beneficiaries to certain plans. The DOJ also alleged that the company discriminated against less profitable beneficiaries and repeatedly directed customers to the highest-paying plans, contradicting its claims of providing unbiased coverage.

Since the news broke, SelectQuote's stock price has continued to fall, highlighting the significant impact of the DOJ and class action lawsuits on the company's value.
