Bernstein Liebhard LLP announces that a securities class action lawsuit 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”).

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On April 2, 2024, QuidelOrtho announced that it had withdrawn its FDA 510(k) submission for approval to sell the Savanna RVP4 Test in the United States after recent data did not meet expectations.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.
