Zealand Pharma Shares Sink 25% After Trial Results
Zealand Pharma shares tumbled in Copenhagen on Monday. The drop followed investor worries over side effects tied to Boehringer Ingelheim’s survodutide, which offset hope around the drug's fat-loss results. Zealand’s investor page listed the shares at 241.40 Danish crowns, off 26.02%. Reuters said the stock led declines on Europe’s STOXX 600 early in the session. The timing was key. Copenhagen’s stock market was open, trading on Nasdaq ran its usual 09:00 to 17:00 hours. The exchange calendar had June 5, Denmark’s Constitution Day, listed as a holiday, but not June 8. Monday was the first regular session for the market to react to the Sunday updates out of the American Diabetes Association meeting.
