Tempus AI Shares Jump 5.78% on 49% Volume Surge Now 248th in Trading Activity Amid Legal Scrutiny

Tempus AI (TEM) closed 5.78% higher on August 7, 2025, with a trading volume of $0.46 billion, a 49.13% increase from the previous day. The stock ranked 248th in volume among listed companies, indicating heightened investor activity amid ongoing legal scrutiny.

A class-action lawsuit alleges Tempus AI misrepresented the value of contracts, including agreements with related parties and self-funded deals, during the period from August 6, 2024, to May 27, 2025. The complaint highlights concerns over a joint venture with SoftBank, which faced risks of discrediting due to alleged capital "round-tripping" to inflate revenue. Additionally, the acquisition of Ambry, a firm criticized for aggressive business practices, is cited as a factor in misleading public statements. Investors who purchased shares during this period are advised to contact legal representatives before August 12, 2025.

The strategy of purchasing the top 500 stocks by daily trading volume and holding them for one day generated a 166.71% return from 2022 to the present, outperforming the benchmark return of 29.18% by 137.53%. This result underscores the impact of liquidity concentration in short-term performance, particularly in volatile markets.
