BREAKING: Tempus AI Hit by Short Seller Report
Tempus AI Faces Scrutiny After Spruce Point Report
On May 28, 2025, Spruce Point Capital Management released a scathing short-seller report targeting Tempus AI (NASDAQ: TEM), sending shockwaves through the market. The report questions the company’s core business model, financial disclosures, and the credibility of its leadership triggering a sharp decline in share price during pre-market trading.
Spruce Point alleges that despite its branding as an "AI-powered precision medicine" company, Tempus generates less than 2% of its revenue from AI-related products. The firm accuses Tempus of misleading investors by overemphasizing its AI identity while most of its revenue still stems from traditional lab testing services.
The report also highlights concerns around CEO Eric Lefkofsky, citing his history with multiple companies that either faced financial difficulties or attracted regulatory scrutiny. It further alleges aggressive accounting practices, related-party transactions, and potential abuse of under-regulated medical billing codes to inflate revenue.
The company has not yet issued a formal response. However, investors are watching closely for clarification. With the stock’s rapid rise post-IPO and heavy retail interest, this report could mark a turning point especially if regulators begin digging deeper.
This story is developing. I will update this post as soon as new statements or regulatory actions are announced. Bookmark this page for real-time coverage of the unfolding situation around Tempus AI.
