The drop was on track to be the worst day ever for the firm, which made its debut as a publicly traded stock in April of this year. Shares had closed at a record high of $42.94 on Friday, more than double the company’s initial public offering price of $21.
PACS Group did not immediately respond to a Bloomberg News request for comment.
