Altimmune, Inc. Investors Urged to Join Class Action Amid Major Stock Decline
On August 14, 2025, The Gross Law Firm made a significant announcement targeting shareholders of Altimmune, Inc. (NASDAQ: ALT), regarding a class action lawsuit and an impending deadline for investors to register. This move follows serious allegations raised in a complaint linked to the company's recent trials. Shareholders who acquired ALT shares from August 10, 2023, to June 25, 2025, are encouraged to reach out to the firm, as they may qualify for lead plaintiff status or participate in potential recovery efforts.
Context of the Lawsuit
The lawsuit stems from a problematic press release issued by Altimmune on June 26, 2025. The company announced the topline results of their Phase 2b MASH trial of Pemvidutide, a drug intended to treat the conditions associated with MASH (metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease). Investors were optimistic due to previously inflated expectations communicated by the company. However, the trial results fell significantly short; the data failed to meet statistical significance regarding the fibrosis reduction primary endpoint.
Despite showing a positive trend in fibrosis improvement, the high placebo responses diminished the efficacy of the treatment when compared to expectations. The company's response to these disappointing results was notably indifferent, attributing the lack of significantly beneficial outcomes to the nature of the Phase 2 trial, while expressing hopes for better results in a future Phase 3 trial.
Market Reaction
In the wake of this news, Altimmune's stock price experienced a sharp decline, plummeting from $7.71 per share on June 25, 2025, to $3.61 per share by the next trading day—a staggering drop of 53.2%. This dramatic decrease has raised concerns for investors, leading to the consideration of legal action against the company.
