Lantheus Holdings, Inc.
- Three stockholder suits filed Sept 16-25, 2026 (Hamilton and McDaniels in NY Supreme Court; Garfield in Massachusetts) seek to enjoin the merger unless more proxy disclosure is made.

- Comparable-companies analysis implies $63.85-$84.20/share at 7.9x-10.5x FY2026 adjusted EBITDA; 12 of 14 analysts had price targets of $98.00-$129.00.
- Morgan Stanley earned $5M-$10M in fees from Lantheus and $5M-$10M from CapVest affiliates in the prior two years, and held a 2%-3% Lantheus stake as of Aug 3, 2026.
