Catalent CTLT has seen action-packed developments. Pharma giant Novo Holdings closed a $16.5 billion buyout of the company and received European Commission's unconditional approval for the transaction. The move, viewed as a strategic acquisition, also received approval from Catalent stockholders. However, it came under the scrutiny of US Sen. Elizabeth Warren and consumer groups, requesting Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to investigate the deal. Simultaneously, Catalent inked a deal to sell its Somerset, NJ Oral Solids Facility and issued an open letter to its customers providing insights about the acquisition, signaling transparency. Q4 results surpassed expectations, boosting its stock. Nevertheless, Q1 revenue fell short of estimates, causing a slight dip in Catalent's stock. Despite FTC seeking more information on the Novo-Catalent deal, Catalent continued to draw investor interest, boosted by earnings beat and gross margin improvement. Yet, it faces headwinds with Q2 Fiscal 2024 Results and a pending $700 million impairment charge, stirring investor concerns.
