The lawsuit alleges that Regeneron's statements about its Fianlimab-Libtayo trial were misleading, as highlighted by SueWallSt. Following news of the trial's failure, Regeneron's share price fell sharply from $731.77 on April 28, 2026, to $629.68 by May 18, 2026. This 13.95% drop resulted in an estimated $11 billion loss in market capitalization.
