Amarin Corporation PLC (AMRN)

North, can you clarify what you mean? The entire premise of the article is based on a case of brand vs. generic. So if there were no generics, there would be no case and no article.

I’m wondering what the headline would say if there were no generics in sight, 18 U.S.C. §1512(c)(2).

Anyone have access to this site? It's behind a paywall:

Don’t stop contacting the people in charge of the asset retail owns and don’t swallow narratives sideways. The BOD composition is a Sarissa devised plan. The first CEO that left had to buy shares to play the con. The old CFO already got compensated for what he had to do in the con. Alex Denner is not a good guy. 
The Slow Ownership Transfer & Governance Reality
After more than three years under Sarissa board influence, the picture is clear.
The approved $50 million share buyback was authorized by the Board in January 2024 and approved by shareholders at the April 2024 AGM, but remains unexecuted. On the commercial side, Amarin publicly supported the HealthyWomen Citizens Petition (Docket FDA-2024-P-1988, filed April 2024) requesting FDA revisions to fenofibrate labeling to highlight the lack of proven cardiovascular outcome benefits. Amarin filed supportive comments in June 2024. The FDA issued revised fenofibrate labeling in October 2025. The Hikma litigation was won at the Federal Circuit under Perkins Coie on June 25, 2024 before being lost 9-0 at the Supreme Court on June 4, 2026. The company executed a 20:1 reverse split in April 2025. Revenue declined from approximately $307 million in 2023 to roughly $214 million in 2025. Headcount was reduced to 80 employees and the sales force was eliminated. Amarin was removed from the NASDAQ Biotechnology Index in December 2025. The stock continues to trade near net cash with minimal value assigned to the remaining business or intellectual property.
The Mechanics
With retail owning ~75%, insiders ~2%, and institutions ~23% (Sarissa ~8% within institutions), retail supplies shares on strength through profit-taking from varying cost bases. A small group of specialist institutions quietly accumulate those shares via dark pools (~40–58% of daily volume) and secondary market purchases. Tactical shorts opportunistically fade the pops. The result is a gradual ownership transfer from retail to institutional hands at depressed prices near net cash.
This low-float (~18.51M), retail-heavy structure with elevated dark pool participation enables the slow, steady transfer at compressed valuations.
Governance Reality
Retail shareholders overwhelmingly rejected Sarissa’s proposals at the last two AGMs, yet the board has shown little responsiveness. Following the rejection of dilution proposals at the May 2026 AGM (the second consecutive year), the Board approved paying non-employee directors supplemental cash compensation of approximately $175,000 each in lieu of equity awards. This comes at a time when the company is generating positive cash flow for the first time in years. The ownership imbalance (insiders ~2%, Sarissa ~8%) gives the board full control with modest economic skin in the game. Management responses on earnings calls about capital returns are evasive and pivot to the Barclays process. IR efforts remain passive despite conference attendance. This structure creates limited incentive for rapid value creation that would primarily benefit the current retail majority.

Yep, you can see that very clearly if you superimpose the charts of AMRN and XBI, except for the last 2 days. We need to clear $21 first before thinking something is afoot.

What is up is bio stocks just had their best month in 3
years up 16 percent.

Something’s up, besides the stock price? AMRN closed at $16.47, after hours I see $16.79. Day range: $15.81–$16.79.

Removal from NASDAQ Biotechnology Index (IBB) & Ongoing Governance Issues
Amarin was officially removed from the NASDAQ Biotechnology Index on December 18, 2025, which directly impacted its weighting in the iShares Biotechnology ETF (IBB).
This removal occurred under the current Sarissa-influenced board, more than two and a half years after they took control. It was driven by the 20:1 reverse split, sustained revenue decline (from ~$307M in 2023 to ~$214M in 2025), low market cap, and reduced liquidity — all outcomes that have contributed to the stock trading near net cash with minimal credit given to the business or IP.
Sarissa’s Original 13D Promise vs Reality
During the 2022–2023 proxy fight, Sarissa heavily criticized the prior board for value destruction and promised to restore shareholder value through better governance and strategic focus. Instead, we have seen continued revenue contraction, drastic headcount reduction to 80 employees, index delisting, and persistent valuation compression.
This is part of the broader problem: high retail ownership (~75%), low insider ownership (1.98%), and Sarissa’s ~8% stake create misaligned incentives. The board maintains control while the large retail base bears the valuation discount and reduced institutional visibility from index removal.
Trading Mechanics Remain Consistent
Retail supplies shares on strength. Specialist institutions quietly accumulate via dark pools (~40–58% of volume). The result is gradual ownership transfer at depressed prices near net cash.
With LR-EtEPA patent progress, potential EMT2 data, Q3 visibility, and the September conference cluster approaching, serious governance pressure may be needed to ensure the Barclays process actually maximizes value for all shareholders — not just the insiders running it.

Great minds think alike

That would be a good scenario. I have more confidence in a BP bringing the new formulation to market.  Although I must be fair and honest and say that from Dec 2019 to March 2020 V’s scripts took off and applaud the company for doing a great job with rollout after label expansion. Unfortunately devastated by a couple of grave errors we all know about.

Understood I have a weird feeling as soon as the company knows new formulation is in the books buy back is initiated stock explodes and company is in its last leg of existence before buyout we shall see

It should but I would like to have the information about it from the company to hang my hat on. Waiting for full patent being given and then seeing what the company’s plans for it are.  

Yes but if we get the new formulation won’t that trump everything and be the go to drug????

Of course that is the indication that GV has been approved for and Amarin’s patents invalidated.

Really not much you can say they have been a disaster they fooled everyone. Other than cutting costs they have done nothing and they continue down the same path.

Thanks Capt....."Conclusions: EPA and lira caused synergistic effects on cellular pathways related to endoplasmic reticulum function and cytoprotection in endothelial cells during inflammation. These actions of a GLP-1RA on protein expression when combined with EPA may ENHANCE CV protection."

With millions of patients currently on GLP-1 meds, it seems like EPA is a logical addition to their meds to avoid initial, or further, episodes of CVD.

That's interesting that this was a year ago. Definitely like the scientists that are on the study.

Do you know if there has been any follow-up on this in any way?

Obviously jumping on the GLP-1 gravy train would be huge.

Here I’m having fun with a topic that is way above my Pay-Grade!
https://www.atherosclerosis-journal.com/article/S0021-9150(25)00597-0/fulltext

https://www.linkedin.com/posts/medicalresearch-cardiovascular-cardiovascularrisk-share-7477345307148779520-cxTH/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop&rcm=ACoAAAdDmycBzT_CwLIulyFqANe8SLMF4KH2Odo

Don’t stop contacting the scum Sarissa and his affiliates in value destruction. In March 2023, Sarissa Capital won the proxy contest and took control of Amarin’s board. Many investors bought shares at that time, believing the activist had a credible plan to unlock value.
Here is what actually happened to those shareholders.
The stock price at the time of Sarissa’s proxy victory in March 2023 was approximately $1.65 per share pre-split. After the 1-for-20 reverse split in April 2025, that is equivalent to $33.00 per share on a post-split adjusted basis. The current price in late June 2026 is approximately $16.00.
An investor who bought at the equivalent of $33.00 has now lost 51.5% of their investment.
Over the same period, the S&P 500 delivered a total return of approximately +85% to +90% including dividends. An investor who put $10,000 into Amarin at the proxy win now has roughly $4,850. The same $10,000 invested in the S&P 500 is now worth approximately $18,500 to $19,000. That is an opportunity cost of roughly $13,650 to $14,150 per $10,000 invested, plus the actual loss on the Amarin shares.
From 2022 to 2025, revenue fell from $369.2 million to $214.0 million, a decline of $155.2 million. Over the same period, SG&A was reduced from $228.2 million to $128.4 million, and R&D was reduced from $88.4 million to $32.6 million. Total operating expenses (SG&A + R&D) were cut by approximately $155.6 million — almost exactly matching the decline in revenue.
In other words, the company cut spending almost dollar-for-dollar with the loss in top-line revenue. The business became significantly smaller, but it did not become meaningfully more profitable on an operating basis.
Shareholders approved a $50 million share repurchase program. That program was never meaningfully executed. After retail investors voted down equity compensation plans in consecutive years, the board shifted a portion of pay to all-cash instead.
Since Sarissa took board control in March 2023, the board and C-suite have collectively received more than $12 million in compensation while the company cut operating expenses by $155 million, revenue fell by $155 million, and shareholders who bought at the proxy win lost more than half their investment on a split-adjusted basis.
This is not marginal underperformance. This is a clear and measurable destruction of shareholder capital relative to both the initial promise and the opportunity cost of simply owning the broader market.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

All chips are down on the cancer trial

Seems we have some buyers…finally

It’s bad enough we have feckless Michael Torok on the BOD who is stealing compensation pretending to be a CSG but let’s focus on more Sarissa trash. Meet Dianne Sullivan. Must be a DEI hire. Diane Sullivan: The Director Who Was Supposed to Deliver but Hasn’t
Diane Sullivan was added to Amarin’s board in February 2023 as part of Sarissa Capital’s post-proxy refresh. Her main selling point was her background as Chief Commercial Officer at The Medicines Company (MDCO) during the period leading up to its $9.7 billion sale to Novartis. Sarissa repeatedly pointed to that deal during the proxy fight as proof they knew how to create value in cardiovascular assets.
The implication was clear: Sullivan brought real-world experience in cardiovascular commercialization, payer strategy, and large strategic transactions. Shareholders were told this expertise would help fix Amarin’s commercial problems and unlock value.
Three and a half years later, there is still no visible evidence she has delivered on that promise.
Since she joined:
•  Revenue has continued declining from ~$307 million in 2023 to $214 million in 2025.
•  The $50 million share repurchase program approved by shareholders has seen no meaningful execution.
•  After two consecutive years of shareholders rejecting equity compensation plans, the board simply moved a portion of pay to all-cash, creating new recurring cash burn.
•  Twelve months after hiring Barclays, shareholders have received almost no substantive updates on the strategic review, LREtEPA progress, or EMT2 timelines.
At the May 13, 2026 Annual General Meeting, Diane Sullivan received 37.8% “Against” votes on her re-election. That level of opposition is not normal. It reflects clear and widespread shareholder frustration with the board’s performance.
She continues to collect standard non-executive director compensation while the company she was brought in to help fix has produced declining revenue, negligible capital returns, and minimal strategic transparency. There is still no public evidence of any major commercial initiative, innovative access deal, or value-creating transaction she has led or meaningfully influenced since joining.
Sarissa sold shareholders on the idea that MDCO experience would translate into better execution at Amarin. So far, that has not happened. Retail shareholders, who collectively own the large majority of the company, are left watching the same problems persist under a board that includes directors who were specifically added for their supposed expertise.
At some point, claimed experience has to produce actual results. Three and a half years in, that evidence is still missing.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Another Great Find by DMC8! This study reinforces IPE's pleiotropic profile: not just a TG-lowering agent, but a comprehensive lipoprotein modulator with anti-inflammatory effects. It adds real-world mechanistic support to the REDUCE-IT outcomes.

If he were VP of Marketing at Amarin, he'd be fired by Sarissa for...doing too much marketing. He really needs to limit it to a few obligatory LinkedIn posts on National Heart Day and an occasional re-hash of a 7 year-old study. He really needs to pace himself. 🤣 😕 My Captain,
Why are you not VP of Mkt.!!??

Agreed...If John Thero could do it...so can Sarissa!

You are correct. I had Ai create it.

I agree Monk.  The only negative with Capt’s post is that that graphic isn’t coming from Amarin, as far as I know, but willing to stand corrected

My Captain,
Why are you not VP of Mkt.!!??
Toasting you with a very cold Kolsch, my favorite Summer beer .

COMING SOON:
LR-EtEPA converts Amarin from a declining commercial-stage company with expiring IP into a clinical-stage platform company with a commercially-validated asset, 17 years of new IP protection, and four high-value clinical indications in the CV and Oncology Spaces.

This is a trial that we’ve followed for several years. It was designed to focus on change in marine omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) levels (especially EPA) in colorectal tissue (biopsies) and possibly blood/red blood cell membranes.

The main findings relating to CRC are:
Tissue Incorporation: Treatment significantly increased EPA (and total marine omega-3) levels in colorectal mucosa/tissue. This confirms that oral IPE achieves biologically relevant concentrations in the target tissue (colon/rectum), where anti-inflammatory, anti-proliferative, and pro-resolving effects of EPA could theoretically act.

This aligns with EPA's known pleiotropic mechanisms (anti-inflammatory via resolvins/protectins, membrane fluidity changes, etc.

Results are encouraging and supportive of the EMT2 for CRC liver metastases trial that is testing clinical outcomes like recurrence/survival with EPA. NCT03428477. (This one will be a Game Changer).

It’s the EPA Stupid!

Sarissa Conference Precedent, Q3 Turnaround Visibility & Path to Potential Q4 Activity
Sarissa Conference Precedent & Amarin Outlook
In prior Sarissa-influenced deals (especially The Medicines Company / Novartis), management used major healthcare conferences for one-on-one meetings with potential buyers while the formal banker process ran in parallel. SC14D9 filings confirm conferences were leveraged for clinical data presentations and strategic discussions.
For Amarin, presenting the “Q3 2026 turnaround story” as a cleaned-up, repurposed drug + franchise ahead of any potential Q4 2026 process makes the September 2026 conference cluster the logical next step. This includes:
•  Morgan Stanley Global Healthcare Conference (Sept 14–16, New York)
•  Cantor Global Healthcare Conference (late September, typically late Sept)
•  H.C. Wainwright Global Investment Conference (mid-to-late September)
These events would allow presentation of updated Q3 financials, operational progress, and direct access to buy-side and strategic/corporate development teams while Barclays continues the formal review.
Buy-Side vs Sell-Side Analyst Dynamics
Sell-side analysts (JP Morgan – Jessica Fye, Goldman Sachs – Paul Choi, Leerink – Roanna Ruiz) maintain conservative public targets around $12.50, reflecting revenue pressure and execution risks. Buy-side analysts, working internally for hedge funds and institutions, perform proprietary analysis and make actual capital decisions. The wide gap is evident in independent models such as Simply Wall St’s DCF (~$91.66, 82.6% undervalued at current levels), which assumes stronger long-term recovery from the restructured model, Recordati royalties, and LR-EtEPA IP. This contrast contributes to the persistent valuation compression near net cash.
Catalysts Ahead
•  LR-EtEPA patent next action (late July–September 2026 following June 3 response)
•  Potential EMT2 data (likely July 2026 or shortly thereafter)
•  Q2 earnings & CC
•  Barclays strategic review updates
Trading Mechanics
Retail (~75% ownership) supplies shares on strength (profit-taking from varying cost bases). Specialist institutions absorb those shares quietly via dark pools and secondary market purchases. Shorts opportunistically fade the pops in this low-float environment as retail slowly exits and institutions acquire. The result is gradual ownership transfer from retail to institutional hands at depressed prices near net cash.
Governance friction and the ownership imbalance continue to weigh on the valuation.
