What is the historical performance of PHLT following previous securities class‑action announcements?

I’m sorry, but the news excerpt you provided does not contain any information about how Performant Healthcare, Inc. (NASDAQ: PHLT) has historically priced or performed in the market after prior securities‑class‑action announcements. Consequently, I can’t provide a data‑driven answer to that question based on the material you shared.

If you need that analysis, you might consider looking at the following sources:

Source How it can help
Historical price charts (e.g., Bloomberg, Yahoo! Finance, FactSet) You can isolate the dates of past class‑action filings or settlements involving PHLT and examine the stock’s price reaction over the next few days, weeks, and months.
SEC filings (Form 8‑K, 10‑K, 10‑Q) These often disclose material legal proceedings and can provide the exact announcement dates to pair with price data.
Legal news databases (e.g., LexisNexis, Westlaw) They track litigation events and can help you compile a list of previous securities‑class‑action announcements for PHLT.
Research reports from sell‑side analysts Some analysts comment on the market impact of legal news and may already have summarized historical reactions.
Academic or industry studies on “legal‑event drift” These can give you a benchmark for how similar companies have behaved after class‑action disclosures.

A typical approach would be:

  1. Identify announcement dates – Pull all dates when PHLT disclosed a securities class‑action filing, settlement, or related material event.
  2. Extract price data – Pull the daily closing price (or intraday if you want higher granularity) for a window around each event (e.g., ‑5 days to +10 days).
  3. Calculate returns – Compute cumulative abnormal returns (CAR) by comparing PHLT’s actual returns to a market or sector benchmark over the same window.
  4. Summarize findings – Look for patterns (e.g., average +X % in the first three days, followed by a Y % correction) and note any outliers (e.g., a settlement that was larger than expected).

Until you gather those data points, any statement about “historical performance” would be speculative. If you have specific dates or additional filings you’d like me to examine, feel free to share them, and I can help you interpret the results.
