Why Are Altimmune Shares Trading Lower Wednesday?

Author: Vaishali Prayag | June 26, 2024 04:18pm

Altimmune, Inc. (NASDAQ:ALT) shares are experiencing significant movement lower following the unexpected passing of Richard Eisenstadt, the company’s chief financial officer.

What To Know: Eisenstadt’s sudden death has deeply saddened Altimmune, with CEO Vipin K. Garg highlighting his contributions and personal qualities that endeared him to colleagues.
