QuidelOrtho Corporation (NASDAQ: QDEL) Securities Class Action: <\/strong><\/p>\n

The litigation is focused on the propriety of QuidelOrtho\u2019s past assurances about its preparedness to maintain a stable high margin revenue stream from its respiratory business in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic becoming an endemic and about its FDA submission for its purported \u201cnext flagship product\u201d (the \u201cSavanna RVP4 Test\u201d) being \u201con track.\u201d<\/p>\n

The complaint alleges QuidelOrtho misled investors by making statements that were false and misleading because it knew or deliberately disregarded that: (1) it sold more COVID-19 tests to its distributors and pharmacy chain customers than they could resell to healthcare providers and end customers; (2) excess inventories of COVID-19 tests existed throughout the supply chain; (3) as a result, its distributor and pharmacy chain customers were poised to significantly reduce their COVID-19 test orders; and (4) undisclosed problems created a heightened risk that the Savanna RVP4 Test would experience a delayed commercial launch in the U.S..<\/p>\n

Investors began to learn the truth on Feb. 13 2024, when QuidelOrtho announced disastrous Q4 and FY 2023 financial results. Among other things, the company\u2019s Adjusted EPS was 46% below the midpoint of Wall Street analysts\u2019 expectations which the company blamed on lower endemic COVID-19 revenues during the quarter from distributor destocking. In addition, QuidelOrtho\u2019s Adjusted EBITDA came in 28% below the analysts\u2019 consensus expectations and the company slashed its 2024 endemic COVID-19 revenue guidance to $200 million.<\/p>\n

Then, on Feb. 21, 2024, QuidelOrtho announced that its Board terminated President and CEO Douglas Bryant, with one analyst commenting \u201c[f]ollowing last week\u2019s 2024 guidance debacle and the ensuing calls from many investors advocating for a change in management, we understand why the [B]oard made this move.\u201d<\/p>\n

Most recently, on Apr. 2, 2024, QuidelOrtho announced that it withdrew its submission for the Savanna RVP4 Test because recent data failed to meet expectations.<\/p>\n

Since Feb. 13, 2024, the price of QuidelOrtho shares has fallen $24.59, or nearly 37%, wiping out about $1.6 billion of shareholder value.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are investigating whether QuidelOrtho may have engaged in improper channel-stuffing and about the likelihood of FDA approval for the Savanna test,\u201d said Reed Kathrein, the Hagens Berman partner leading the investigation.<\/p>\n
