Its security type is Corporate and its sector is 2090 Miscellaneous Food Preparations & Kindred Products. Its jurisdiction is United States, Delaware. Its segment is not on the record. Its status is listed, not halted.\n\n## The disclosure read\n\nThe record holds 54 filings across 31 filing days in the window 2025-11-08 to 2026-11-08. The filings are 20 directors_dealings, 18 regulatory_filing, 8 results, 3 agm_egm, 3 director_change and 2 corporate_news. The median gap between filing days is 7.0 days, against a NYSE median of 6.0 days and a sector median of 7.0 days. The latest filing is dated 2026-11-06 and is of type directors_dealings. Days from the latest filing to the record date are 2. The NYSE median latency is 4.0 days and the sector median latency is 3.0 days. The NYSE median filings count is 64.0 and the sector median filings count is 65.5.\n\n## Auditor\n\nThe auditor of record is RSM US LLP, located in Baltimore, Maryland. The record holds no auditor changes.\n\n## Events and halts\n\nThe record holds no listing, delisting or name change lines. Domicile change is not on the record, as EDGAR states no dated change of state of incorporation on a filing line. Segment move is not on the record, as the exchanges' tier transfers are not EDGAR filings. The halt flag is listed, not halted.\n\n## Orderability\n\nThe outcome is not determinable, because the chapter's orderability section carries no client categories and so the outcome cannot name its client category. The rule version is acm-68000/us/reasonable-basis-suitability-finra-rule-2111/r1, and the chapter is as of 2026-11-04.\n\n## Coverage\n\nOne research house is named on the issuer's own investor-relations page: Stephens Inc.\n\n## Open research\n\nNo openly published research notes were found on the record.\n\n## Licensed\n\nLicensed research: none loaded. A licensed row is served only to an agent whose firm holds that licence (licensor, entitlement). No licensed row is loaded.\n\n## As-of depth\n\nThe issuer's sealed years are 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025 and 2026. The market's vintage is sealed, with earliest sealed date 2021-01-04. The live record began on 2026-09-12.\n\n## Sources\n\n10 source pages are named on this page; every value above carries its own source page and read date in the numbers.\n\n- https://www.sec.gov/files/company_tickers_exchange.json (identity.exchange)\n- https://www.sec.gov/data-research/sec-markets-data/fails-deliver-data (identity.isin)\n- https://data.sec.gov/submissions/CIK0000910329.json (identity.jurisdiction)\n- https://mapping.gleif.org/api/v2/isin-lei/latest/download (identity.lei)\n- https://mcp.us-cm-kg.ai/events/NYSE/MED (the disclosure lines)\n- https://www.nasdaqtrader.com/rss.aspx?feed=tradehalts (the halt flag)\n- https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/910329/000162828026008656/med-20251231.htm (the auditor)\n- https://mcp.us-cm-kg.ai/book/aio.json (the orderability chapter)\n- https://ir.medifastinc.com/stock-info/analyst-coverage/default.aspx (coverage)\n- https://mcp.us-cm-kg.ai/record/NYSE/MED (the record)\n",
