Aardvark investors face October 13 deadline to seek lead plaintiff role
A class action lawsuit has been filed against Aardvark Therapeutics, a company whose shares trade on the Nasdaq.
It covers certain investors who bought shares linked to the company’s February 2025 initial public offering or securities from February 13, 2025, through May 14, 2026.
The lawsuit alleges that Aardvark and other defendants misled investors about the safety of ARD-101 and its clinical, regulatory and commercial prospects.
These are allegations, and no class has been certified.
Investors who want to serve as lead plaintiff must ask the court by October 13, 2026.
The lead plaintiff would represent other class members in directing the case.
Investors can also remain absent class members for now, and their ability to share in a possible recovery does not depend on becoming lead plaintiff.
Aardvark Therapeutics investors have until October 13, 2026, to ask a court to appoint them lead plaintiff in a class action.
The lawsuit concerns securities tied to the company’s February 13, 2025 initial public offering and securities purchased through May 14, 2026.
The suit alleges that Aardvark and other defendants misrepresented the safety and prospects of the drug candidate ARD-101.
Rosen Law Firm says a class action lawsuit has already been filed.
The firm says investors may also remain absent class members without seeking the lead plaintiff role.
