Paul Tudor Jones sees potential market rally after late October
TORONTO - Quantum BioPharma Ltd. (NASDAQ:QNTM), a $57.71 million market cap biopharmaceutical company whose stock has declined nearly 12% in the past week according to InvestingPro data, issued a formal response Tuesday to allegations of securities law violations, strongly refuting claims made by The Schall Law Firm and DJS Law Group in press releases published last week.
The biopharmaceutical company, which focuses on neurodegenerative and metabolic disorders, called the allegations "vague and unsubstantiated," noting that the law firms failed to specify any factual basis or concrete allegations in their announcements. Despite recent challenges, InvestingPro data shows the stock has delivered an impressive 312% return year-to-date, though its current trading price aligns closely with its Fair Value.
According to the company’s statement, the law firms claimed to be investigating whether Quantum BioPharma issued false or misleading statements or failed to disclose pertinent information to investors.
Quantum BioPharma characterized these announcements as "part of a broader pattern of opportunistic litigation tactics that seek to exploit public markets without merit." The company stated it is reviewing the conduct of both law firms and their principals, Brian Schall and David J. Schwartz, and plans to take appropriate action against what it described as "a deliberate attempt to damage its reputation."
The company also indicated it is seeking information from individuals who may have had negative experiences with either law firm.
Quantum BioPharma develops treatments for neurodegenerative and metabolic disorders through its subsidiary Lucid Psycheceuticals, which is researching Lucid-MS, a compound shown to prevent and reverse myelin degradation in preclinical models. The company also maintains a stake in Unbuzzd Wellness Inc. and holds a portfolio of strategic investments through its subsidiary FSD Strategic Investments Inc. InvestingPro analysis indicates the company operates with moderate debt levels but faces profitability challenges, with analysts not expecting positive earnings this year.
