“Catalent, Inc. (NYSE:CTLT), a pharmaceutical contract development and manufacturing organization, declined following a rate-of-change slowdown in its COVID-related revenues along with ongoing near-term cost pressures. We maintain a position, as we believe the long-term value creation opportunity for the company remains intact, driven by its competitive position in biologics, sticky customer relationships and growing demand from biopharma companies for complex dose solutions.”
