Verona Pharma’s stock surged after Merck announced its acquisition for $10 billion, aiming to strengthen its cardio-pulmonary offerings with the addition of Ohtuvayre®, a new COPD treatment. Despite the excitement, Jefferies downgraded its rating to Hold from Buy, pointing to high valuations and ongoing operating losses as potential risks. The acquisition, expected to finalize in late 2025, brings both promise and scrutiny to Verona’s financial future.
