1️⃣ Recent commercial-launch news drove a short-term run-up
The company announced the U.S. commercial launch of LYMPHIR and a permanent J‑code within the last 48 hours, which materially increased near‑term revenue expectations and explains the multi‑day rally immediately before today.
2️⃣ Dilution and prior financings are still a live counterweight
Multiple financing events, warrants to advisors and increases to the stock‑incentive authorization earlier this year have left meaningful dilution overhang - a common trigger for selling after a news‑driven pop.
3️⃣ Today’s sharp decline looks idiosyncratic, likely profit‑taking or sell‑side re‑pricing
Broad markets and CTOR’s small‑cap biotech peers were largely unchanged, so the intraday drop appears driven by company‑specific flows (selling into the launch/rehabilitation rally, technical selling, or reactions to dilution concerns) rather than a macro shock.
