What is happening with Emergent Biosolutions Stock?

The share price of Emerging Biosolutions, a specialized biopharmaceutical company, has fallen by 15% over the last twenty-one trading days, while it is down 42% since the start of the year. The EBS stockpile has had a rough year so far, with its manufacturing facility in Baltimore facing heat after a batch of Johnson & Johnson Covid-19 vaccine was contaminated. The US FDA inspected the manufacturing facility and made nine observations. It was April and the company went out of its way to address all concerns. Towards the end of July, the US FDA approved the reopening of the Baltimore plant and since then the regulator has cleared several lots of Johnson & Johnson’s Covid-19 vaccine from that facility. Emergent also recently signed an agreement with Canada-based Providence Therapeutics to manufacture its mRNA-based Covid-19 vaccine candidate.

While the reopening of the factory is good news for Emergent, the company’s woes are far from over. The company also faces a lawsuit for alleged violations of securities laws. The claimant alleged that the company did not disclose to investors issues at its Baltimore plant that would affect its ability to manufacture the vaccine. Additionally, there are allegations that senior executives at the company have sold more than $ 20 million in stock with prior information about manufacturing issues at its Baltimore plant, but the information has not been released. made public. Investors are now worried that the company will end up paying a hefty penalty, which would prevent the stock from recovering.
