Lowey Dannenberg, P.C. Announces Filing of Securities Class Action Lawsuit Against Bellus Health Inc. on Behalf of Investors Who Acquired Shares from September 19, 2019 to July 5, 2020 and Encourages Investors to Inquire About the Lead Plaintiff Position Before the May 17, 2021 Lead Plaintiff Deadline

Lowey Dannenberg P.C., a preeminent law firm in obtaining redress for consumers and investors, announces the filing of a securities class action in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York on behalf of investors who purchased or otherwise acquired common stock of Bellus Health, Inc. ("Bellus" or "Company") (NASDAQ: BLU) from September 19, 2019 through July 5, 2020, inclusive (the "Class Period"). The class action alleges violations of federal securities laws.

Bellus is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company whose lead product is BLU-493, which is being developed for the treatment of chronic cough and other afferent hypersensitization related disorders.

The Complaint alleges Bellus made false and misleading statements in its registration statement and prospectus (the "Offering") and in subsequent public statements throughout the Class Period and failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company's business. Specifically, Bellus and its senior officers (1) deceived the investing public about the efficacy of BLU-493, which created a high risk that the drug would not receive FDA approval of Phase 2 trials, and would fall further behind the industry leaders in developing a FDA-approved treatment; (2) created artificial demand for the Bellus common shares sold in the Offering, that enabled the Company to receive approximately $70 million. and (3) caused Plaintiff and the Class to purchase the Company's publicly traded common stock at artificially inflated prices through July 5, 2020.

If you wish to serve as Lead Plaintiff for the Class, you must file a motion with the Court no later than May 17, 2021. Any member of the proposed Class may serve as the Lead Plaintiff through counsel of their choice.

If you have suffered a net loss from investment in Bellus' initial public offering of common stock effective as of September 5, 2019, or through purchases in the secondary market through July 5, 2020, you may obtain additional information about this lawsuit and your ability to become a Lead Plaintiff by contacting David Harrison at dharrison@lowey.com or at 914-733-7228 or Christian Levis at clevis@lowey.com or at 914-733-7220.

5 Small Biotech ETFs to Watch (Updated 2024)

Thanks to exchange-traded funds (ETFs), investors don’t have to be tied to one specific stock. Biotech ETFs allow market participants to gain leverage in multiple biotech companies via one investment vehicle.

The life science sector can certainly be risky, and ETFs are a good way to enter more safely than by investing in standalone stocks. A key advantage is that even if one company in the ETF takes a hit, the impact will be less direct.

Below the Investing News Network takes a look at five small biotech ETFs for investors to consider. They were selected using ETFdb.com, and their total assets under management (AUM) were under US$100 million as of March 8, 2024. All other figures were also current as of that date. Read on to learn more about these investment vehicles.

5 Biggest Biotechnology ETFs in 2024

Investing in the biotech industry can be a long road to gains given the sector’s volatility.

Even with a good understanding of the system, no one can predict which treatment, device or therapy will give the biggest return, making biotech exchange-traded funds (ETFs) a more secure option than individual biotech stocks.

An ETF is a relatively safe investment route that can minimize losses while offering exposure to multiple companies instead of focusing on the gains and losses of a single biotech stock. With that in mind, here’s a brief look at the five top biotechnology ETFs by total assets. Data was sourced from ETFdb.com on March 1, 2024, and all data was current as of that time.
