Shares of Lantheus Holdings Inc. (LNTH) plunged 5.50% in pre-market trading on Thursday following a series of significant announcements that have shaken investor confidence. The company, known for its radiopharmaceutical products, disclosed major leadership changes alongside its third-quarter financial results, triggering a sell-off among investors.
In a surprising move, Lantheus announced that CEO Brian Markison will retire at the end of 2025, with the board initiating a search for his successor. Adding to the upheaval, the company also revealed that President Paul Blanchfield is departing to take a role at another firm. These high-level exits have raised concerns about the company's future direction and stability.
While Lantheus reported Q3 revenue of $384.014 million, surpassing the consensus estimate of $364.46 million, the company's adjusted earnings per share of $1.27 merely met expectations. This mixed financial performance, combined with the leadership transition, appears to have disappointed investors looking for stronger growth signals. Furthermore, Lantheus narrowed its full-year 2025 revenue guidance to $1.49 billion - $1.51 billion from the previous range of $1.475 billion - $1.51 billion, which may have been viewed as a conservative outlook by the market.
