Summary · why it matters

A securities fraud class action has been filed against GeneDx Holdings Corp., and investors who purchased shares between April 16, 2025 and May 4, 2026 have until August 3, 2026 to seek lead plaintiff appointment. The lawsuit alleges the company and certain executives made false statements about the benefits of acquiring Fabric Genomics, touting it as an AI-driven growth catalyst while concealing integration problems and operational disconnects. On May 4, 2026, GeneDx reported first-quarter results that missed revenue estimates, showed a drop in adjusted gross margins from 74% to 69%, slashed full-year 2026 revenue guidance to $475 million–$490 million from $540 million–$550 million, and recorded a $31.2 million impairment loss on Fabric Genomics, wiping out roughly 94% of the cash paid a year earlier. The stock then fell 49.2% in a single session, from $67.93 to $34.51. The law firm Hagens Berman is investigating and urging investors with substantial losses to contact them.

BioMarin Reports Positive Phase 3 VOXZOGO Hypochondroplasia Data and Files sNDA

BioMarin Pharmaceutical reported positive Phase 3 CANOPY-HCH-3 results for VOXZOGO in children with hypochondroplasia and submitted a supplemental FDA application to expand the drug's use, while also adding Bristol Myers Squibb research leader Robert Plenge, M.D., Ph.D., to its Board and Science and Technology Committee. The late-stage data cover an indication with no approved treatments, and the company said the combination of the results and the board appointment underscores its focus on deepening its rare disease franchise and scientific oversight. BioMarin's narrative projects $5.0 billion revenue and $1.3 billion earnings by 2029, requiring 14.0% yearly revenue growth and about a $1.2 billion earnings increase from $73.0 million today, with a $91.42 fair value cited, a 43% upside to its current price. More pessimistic analysts warn that heavy reliance on a few rare disease drugs and uncertainty around future indications could leave BioMarin short of pre-news expectations of about US$4.7 billion in revenue and roughly US$509.5 million in earnings by 2029.
