Warning signs in its filings
Problems the company itself reported to the SEC, in its own words.
1 serious warning sign in OptimizeRx’s filings.
We look for five warning signs: doubt it can keep going, weak checks on its own accounts, a notice that its past accounts can't be relied on, a change of auditor, and one customer bringing in a big share of sales. We don't check lawsuits, investigations or debt yet.
We checked the auditor's report, internal controls, restatement notices, auditor changes and big customers in the 10-K filed 12 Mar 2026, plus the 10-Q filed 13 Aug 2026 and 6 later 8-Ks.
Weak checks on its own accounts
SeriousThe company said its checks on its own accounts did not work at the end of its latest quarter. Mistakes could slip into the numbers.
“Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e), were not effective at the reasonable assurance level due to a previously identified material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting related to controls ensuring that data received from one third-party service organization were complete and accurate.”
Show the full paragraph
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation, as of the end of the period covered by this report, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e). Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e), were not effective at the reasonable assurance level due to a previously identified material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting related to controls ensuring that data received from one third-party service organization were complete and accurate.

Changed auditor
Worth knowingThe company changed its auditor (the firm that checks its books) in the last two years.
“On March 24, 2026, the Audit Committee (the “Audit Committee”) of the Board of Directors of OptimizeRx Corporation (the “Company”) approved the dismissal of, and on March 25, 2026 subsequently dismissed, UHY LLP (“UHY”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, effective immediately.”
From an 8-K filed 30 March 2026: Change of auditor. Read it in the filing
A 10-K is the yearly report every US company files with the SEC. An 8-K is a short notice of a big event.
What could go wrong
Cheap for a reason is the question the numbers cannot answer.
Whether the price already reflects the risks is what the deep dive is for.
The deep dive
Everything above is arithmetic on public filings. The deep dive reads the last ten years of annual reports, the proxy statements, and the earnings calls, then argues the case the way Buffett, Klarman, and Hohn would, and checks every claim against the source.
- What the business is worth, as a range, and the margin of safety at today’s price
- Prices to start buying, buy, and buy hard
- The three things that would make this a mistake
- Every number footnoted to the filing it came from
