Bernstein Liebhard LLP, a nationally acclaimed investor rights law firm, reminds investors of the deadline to file a lead plaintiff motion in a securities class action lawsuit that has been filed on behalf of investors who purchased or acquired the common stock of QuidelOrtho Corporation f/k/a Quidel Corporation (“QuidelOrtho” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: QDEL) between February 18, 2022 and April 1, 2024, inclusive (the “Class Period”). The lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York and alleges violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 against the Company and certain of its officers (the “Complaint”).
If you purchased or acquired QuidelOrtho common stock, and/or would like to discuss your legal rights and options please visit QuidelOrtho Corporation Shareholder Class Action Lawsuit or contact Investor Relations Manager Peter Allocco at (212) 951-2030 or pallocco@bernlieb.com.
If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than June 11, 2024. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation. Your ability to share in any recovery doesn’t require that you serve as lead plaintiff. If you choose to take no action, you may remain an absent class member.
According to the Complaint, Defendants failed to disclose to investors that: (a) QuidelOrtho sold more COVID-19 tests to its distributors and pharmacy chain customers than they could resell to healthcare providers and end customers; (b) excess inventories of COVID-19 tests existed throughout the supply chain; (c) as a result, QuidelOrtho’s distributors and pharmacy chain customers were poised to significantly reduce their COVID-19 test orders; and (d) undisclosed problems created a heightened risk that the Savanna RVP4 Test would experience a delayed commercial launch in the United States.
On April 2, 2024, QuidelOrtho announced that it had withdrawn its FDA 510(k) submission for approval to sell the Savanna RVP4 Test in the United States after recent data did not meet expectations. According to Citi analyst Patrick Donnelly, the Savanna RVP4 Test was “expected to be a key driver of Savanna uptake in the respiratory season.”
On this news, QuidelOrtho’s stock price fell $4.85 per share, or over 10%, to close at $42.15 per share on April 2, 2024.
