On May 12, 2025, Liquidia Corporation announced that United Therapeutics Corporation filed a complaint against them on May 9, 2025, in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina. The complaint alleges infringement of U.S. Patent No. 11,357,782 and seeks to prevent Liquidia from commercializing YUTREPIA™ if it receives FDA approval. Despite the litigation, the FDA’s ability to take final action on the New Drug Application for YUTREPIA by the PDUFA goal date of May 24, 2025, remains unaffected. Liquidia’s CEO, Dr. Roger Jeffs, expressed determination to defend patient access to alternative therapies, highlighting past successes in invalidating similar patent claims.

Spark’s Take on LQDA Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, LQDA is a Neutral.

Liquidia Technologies is currently facing significant financial challenges, with declining revenues and high leverage posing risks. However, the company’s strong liquidity position and strategic initiatives, including the potential launch of YUTREPIA, offer some positive outlook. Technical analysis indicates upward stock momentum, but unprofitability and lack of dividend yield affect its valuation negatively. Mixed earnings call sentiment reflects both strategic advancements and financial difficulties.
