Liquidia Technologies Inc (LQDA) stock surged 5.32% in intraday trading on Thursday, driven by investor confidence in the company's prospects ahead of the expected launch of its lung disease treatment, Yutrepia, in May 2025.
The bullish sentiment was fueled by an announcement from investment firm Hunterbrook Capital, which disclosed taking a long position in Liquidia. Hunterbrook cited the upcoming Yutrepia launch as a key reason for its bullish stance, believing the treatment holds significant commercial potential.
Additionally, Hunterbrook expressed optimism that Liquidia could potentially win a lawsuit, which could accelerate Yutrepia's market entry. The firm believes a favorable outcome in the legal battle could allow Yutrepia to become available sooner than the anticipated May 2025 launch date, further boosting Liquidia's prospects.
