Amicus Therapeutics (FOLD) Stock Week Ahead: $14.50 BioMarin Buyout Puts the Deal Spread—and New Filings—Front and Center (Dec. 22–26, 2025)

Amicus Therapeutics (FOLD) Stock Week Ahead: $14.50 BioMarin Buyout Puts the Deal Spread—and New Filings—Front and Center (Dec. 22–26, 2025)

As of Sunday, December 21, 2025, Amicus Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: FOLD) is no longer trading like a “typical biotech story stock.” After BioMarin’s all-cash $14.50-per-share takeover agreement, FOLD has effectively become a deal-driven, merger-arbitrage name—meaning next week’s action is likely to hinge less on quarterly fundamentals and more on the probability, timing, and conditions of closing. SEC+1 FOLD last traded around $14.18 (near the offer price), reflecting how quickly the market repriced the shares after the announcement.

Amicus Therapeutics (FOLD) Stock Today: BioMarin’s $14.50 Cash Buyout, Latest News, Analyst Forecasts, and What Comes Next (Dec. 21, 2025)

As of Sunday, December 21, 2025, Amicus Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: FOLD) has effectively become a “deal stock” — the market is now trading the shares primarily on the odds and timing of a takeover rather than on classic biotech catalysts. The reason is simple: on December 19, 2025, BioMarin Pharmaceutical announced a definitive agreement to acquire Amicus for $14.50 per share in cash, valuing Amicus at about $4.8 billion. SEC+1 With U.S. markets closed this weekend, the last meaningful read is Friday’s action: Market data services show Amicus closing around $14.20 on Dec. 19, with trading also widely reported near

Amicus Therapeutics, Inc.

The offer price—$14.50 per share in cash—instantly reset the “center of gravity” for FOLD shares and shifted investor focus from traditional biotech catalysts (quarterly launches, pipeline readouts, reimbursement updates) to merger timing, regulatory approvals, and closing risk. SEC+1 As of the latest available pricing around Dec. 20, 2025 (UTC), Amicus shares were trading around $14.18, after a sharp, deal-driven
