Yahoo Finance ·
Shares of Liquidia dropped another 14% following a severe patent loss against United Therapeutics. A Delaware court ruled that Yutrepia violates two claims held by its rival.

CEO Roger Jeffs stated that the firm is completely prepared to pursue every appellate option available. Market uncertainty persists as the court has yet to determine the final remedy for the infringement.

DYAX 전담 분석
As the Delaware court ruled that Yutrepia infringed on United Therapeutics' patents, Liquidia's stock plunged for consecutive days, and BofA slashed its target price from $92 to $40. The company's sales outlook will heavily depend on the court's final remedies, such as a preliminary injunction against sales or the removal of indications.
The bullish scenario involves a limited removal of only the PH-ILD indication, shaking off earnings concerns through an appeal victory or expanded PAH sales, while the bearish scenario entails the granting of a full sales injunction, intensifying financial blows. We must closely monitor both parties' submission of remedies and the court's final disposition within the next week.
