KemPharm’s Stock Declines Significantly
On April 16, 2015, KemPharm held its IPO, selling 5.09 million shares of stock and raising $60 million in new capital. However, since the IPO, KemPharm’s stock has fallen from its high of $23.63 per share in September 2015 to close at $3.50 per share on October 25, 2016. Its decline was largely due to the company’s May 5, 2016, announcement that two committees of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration had determined that one of the company’s drugs, Apadaz, should be approved for its proposed indication of the management of acute pain that requires an opioid, but voted against inclusion of abuse-deterrent labeling for the product. On this news, KemPharm’s stock dropped 56%, to close at $6.91 per share on May 6, 2016.
