(New York) - Claritev Corporation (NYSE: CTEV) faces a securities fraud investigation after a report of a U.S. Department of Justice criminal probe into its pricing practices sent its stock down more than 35% in two days.
The investigation was announced by The Law Offices of Frank R. Cruz on behalf of investors, according to a press release issued May 15. The law firm's action follows a May 14 report from the Capitol Forum stating the DOJ's anti-trust division has launched a criminal price-fixing investigation into Claritev and its Data iSight pricing tool.
On the news, Claritev's stock price declined $4.11 per share, or 14.9%, to close at $23.47 on May 14, 2026. The sell-off accelerated the next day, with the stock falling as much as $8.44 per share, or 35.95%, in morning trading on May 15.
The probe centers on whether Claritev engaged in anti-competitive practices related to its proprietary data tool, a development that exposes the company to significant legal and financial risks. The investigation announced by the Cruz law firm is seeking to recover losses for shareholders who purchased Claritev securities.
The sharp two-day decline has erased nearly half of the company's market value, pushing the stock to its lowest level since its public debut. Investors will be closely watching for any official statements from Claritev or the Department of Justice regarding the alleged investigation.
