This Biotech Has a June 30 FDA Catalyst. A Fund Just Cut Its Stake by $7 Million

HighVista Strategies sold 238,243 shares of Viridian Therapeutics (worth ~$7.08 million) in Q1 2026, reducing its position by $8.97 million when accounting for stock price movements. The sale may reflect profit-taking ahead of the company's June 30 FDA decision on its lead therapy veligrotug. Despite recent stock volatility following Phase 3 data that beat expectations, Viridian remains positioned as a potential commercial player in the thyroid eye disease market with its subcutaneous candidate elegrobart.
