CVRx, a medical device company, disclosed on August 6, 2026, that it had received a Civil Investigative Demand from the U.S. Department of Justice in May 2026, cut its 2026 revenue guidance, and revealed significant deterioration in its sales force and a collapse in Medicare Advantage approval rates. The company's stock fell 59% on August 7, 2026. On August 10, 2026, CVRx terminated its Chief Revenue Officer, Robert John. Hagens Berman, a shareholder rights law firm, opened an investigation into potential securities law violations, focusing on whether CVRx misled investors about its sales force and reimbursement rates and whether the CRO termination was connected to the DOJ inquiry.
