But Consider The Risk

That said, LNTH isn’t immune to sharp declines. It fell about 48% during the 2018 correction, 56% in the Covid pandemic sell-off, and nearly 45% through the inflation shock. Even with its strengths, LNTH can take big hits when the market turns. Solid fundamentals matter, but steep drops still happen.

But the risk is not limited to major market crashes. Stocks fall even when markets are good – think events like earnings, business updates, outlook changes. Read LNTH Dip Buyer Analyses to see how the stock has recovered from sharp dips in the past.
