Catalent (CTLT)
shareholders have seen significant loss of
47% in the last three years. Such decrease is matched by asset management firms selling substantial shares, such as
Franklin Resources and
Private Advisor Group. The company's
financial performance has been under the microscope with Q2 and Q3
missing earnings estimates, leading to
profit warnings and instability marked by the
CFO's departure.
Despite the turbulence, certain entities have boosted their stakes in Catalent. The strategic
acquisition of Catalent by
Novo Holdings in a
$16.5 billion deal has been a major boost, causing the stock to surge by up to
12%. The prospect of expanding
NVO's production has resonated well with the market, leading to a
significant increase in the stock's relative strength rating. The deal has also seen Catalent establish a new cooperation with
Elliott Investment, offering an upbeat fiscal 2024 revenue guidance.
However,
regulatory hurdles create uncertainty, with the FTC requesting more information about the proposed merger. Financial difficulties continue, with a delayed
10-Q filing due to a
$700 million impairment charge. Shareholder concerns around fair value persist, amidst the potential for legal challenges to the merger.
