An announcement from Galapagos ( (GLPG) ) is now available.

On March 17, 2026, Galapagos NV reported that it had received a transparency notification from Bank of America Corporation under Belgian disclosure rules, following a reduction in Bank of America’s economic exposure to the company. The notification showed that, as of March 10, 2026, Bank of America and its affiliates had fallen below the 5% threshold of Galapagos’ voting rights, holding a combined 3.91% through 421,092 shares and 2,158,293 equivalent financial instruments out of 65,897,071 outstanding shares.

The move reflects a shift in a major financial institution’s position in Galapagos but leaves Bank of America with a non-negligible, though no longer notifiable, stake in the biotech group. While the filing does not alter Galapagos’ operational outlook, it provides investors with increased visibility on the company’s evolving shareholder base and the level of institutional interest in its equity.

The most recent analyst rating on (GLPG) stock is a Sell with a $22.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Galapagos stock, see the GLPG Stock Forecast page.
