Catalent (CTLT) has been making significant waves in the business sector recently. The primary cause for attention has been their acquisition by
Novo Nordisk's parent company,
Novo Holdings, in a whopping $16.5 billion cash deal. This merger is intended to boost the supply of
Wegovy, Novo's popular weight-loss drug. Despite this major merger and the prospective boost in Wegovy's supply, Catalent's stock has showcased some volatility. The pharmaceutical firm has experienced a notable financial dip with Q2 revenue down by 10%, which resulted in a period loss. Anticipation around their Q2 earnings and forecasts was ignited, but their earnings lagged behind the estimates, resulting in a decrease in their gross margin. Consequently, the
FTC has thrown its hat into the ring, requiring additional data about the Novo-Catalent deal. Several investment firms, including
GAMMA Investing LLC and
Tokio Marine Asset Management Co. Ltd., have injected capital into Catalent, displaying confidence in their long-term potential. In addition,
StockNews.com has recently initiated coverage for CTLT, which could impact investor perception and buying behavior. The company has faced some challenges, with investigations underway by firms like
Bronstein, Gewirtz & Grossman, LLC concerning shareholder affairs, potential delays in Q1 result disclosure and ongoing shareholder lawsuits accusing CTLT of misleading investors. Amid all these, their stocks demonstrated resilience, revealing a 10% jump following the Novo deal's announcement and increasing
pre-filled syringe potential.
