Have you suffered losses investing in Aratana Therapeutics Inc.? If so, the securities attorneys at The White Law Group may be able to help you by filing a FINRA Dispute Resolution claim against the brokerage firm that sold you the investment.

Aratana Therapeutics Inc., a biopharmaceutical company, focuses on developing and commercializing innovative therapeutics for dogs and cats.

According to a press announcement in June 2019, shareholders of Aratana Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ GM: PETX) common stock have filed a class action lawsuit in connection with the proposed acquisition of Aratana by Elanco Animal Health Incorporated announced on April 26, 2019.  The complaint alleges that in order to secure shareholder support for the Proposed Transaction, defendants allegedly issued materially incomplete disclosures in a registration statement Securities and Exchange Commission.  The Complaint further alleges that the Registration Statement omits material information concerning Aratana’s and Elanco’s financial projections and the analyses performed by Aratana’s financial advisor.

The problem with biopharmaceutical stocks is that they typically involve a high degree of risk. The research and development process for pharma companies often involves costly and lengthy clinical testing trials that yield specific data. If the expected data or end points are not met, the stock can drop drastically.

Without a strong understanding of the company and its basic operations, investors may be looking at serious losses.
