Altimmune's stock price has more than tripled since November, after the Company reported that data from a mid-stage study of pemvidutide, Altimmune's GLP-1 agonist drug candidate, showed promise.

Then, on February 13, 2024, Kerrisdale Capital published a short report alleging that "a deeper examination of Altimmune's data reveals a drug with little chance of competing against either the approved incumbents or the other GLP-1 agonists progressing through clinical trials."

On this news, Altimmune's stock price fell $1.94 per share, or 18.65%, to close at $8.46 per share on February 13, 2024.
