The Law Firm of Levi & Korsinsky Notifies Investors With Losses on Their Investment in Centene Corporation of Class Action Lawsuit and the Deadline of August 28, 2012 to Seek a Lead Plaintiff Position

(firmenpresse) - NEW YORK, NY -- (Marketwire) -- 07/03/12 -- Levi & Korsinsky announces that a class action lawsuit has been commenced in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri on behalf of investors who purchased Centene Corporation ("Centene" or the "Company") (NYSE: CNC) securities between February 7, 2012 and June 8, 2012.
The complaint alleges that Centene misrepresented its financial condition and failed to inform investors that the Company's 2012 outlook, provided at the start of the Class Period, lacked a reasonable basis when made due to already existing and known competitive pressures. On June 11, 2012, the Company cut its full-year profit and revenue forecasts due to higher-than-expected medical costs. The Company also revised its 2012 guidance from $1.45 to $1.65 per share and disclosed that expenses were above projections for commercial polices sold by its Celtic Insurance unit, and that Centene was evaluating goodwill and intangible assets at the unit that may result in a non-cash charge of about $28 million. Upon this news, shares of Centene stock fell from a close of $35.47 the previous business day to a close of $27.58 per share.
If you suffered a loss in Centene you have until August 28, 2012 to request that the Court appoint you as lead plaintiff. Your ability to share in any recovery doesn't require that you serve as a lead plaintiff. To obtain additional information, contact Joseph E.
