Why Shares of Catalent Were Up Friday
Shares of contract drug manufacturer Catalent (NYSE: CTLT) were up more than 14% Friday afternoon after the healthcare company announced updated guidance and said it was delaying its third-quarter report for a second time. It seems counterintuitive that Catalent, after downgrading guidance and saying it was not able to prepare third-quarter earnings on time, would go up in price. The company's shares had already fallen when it announced on May 8 that its earnings report and guidance would not be on May 9, as originally scheduled.
