Catalent, Inc. (CTLT) has seen a tremendously volatile period in the biotech market. Since their last earnings report, CTLT shares witnessed a 0.4% surge, while the stock observed a 10% hike following news of its sale to Novo Nordisk (NVO). Additionally, the stock caught the market's attention after a 5.2% jump. Despite the positive momentum attained by the anticipated acquisition worth $16.5B by NVO, CTLT investors have unfortunately endured a 47% loss over the past three years. Understandably, the firm's successive Q2 & Q3 earnings that lagged behind estimates made a significant impact. Despite facing headwinds and the exit of the company's CFO, CTLT garnered investments worth millions from Caxton Associates LP, Cibc World Markets Corp, Veritas Asset Management LLP, and others. Amidst FTC requests, investigation claims, profit warnings, and executive compensation plans, the company's latest partnership announcement aims to enhance clinical trials, retaining optimism within the investors. However, financial performance showed signs of lagging, resulting in delayed Q1 results and SEC filing on a $700 mln impairment charge. Activist investor Elliott, known for trying to build value, has taken a significant stake in CTLT, amidst the FTC scrutiny and expected delays in the NVO-CTLT merger, shaking the investor's confidence to some extent.
