Xponential Fitness exploring sale after investor pressure mounts. April 7, 2026 1/3 free articles used this month. The board of the Club Pilates and Pure Barre parent has hired Jefferies to evaluate strategic alternatives, including a potential sale or merger. Xponential Fitness' board says it's exploring a sale, an announcement that follows weeks of shareholder pressure. In March, Houston-based Voss Capital - the company's biggest shareholder, controlling 19.3% of outstanding shares - issued an open letter urging the board to hire independent financial advisors and explore a full sale. Kanen Wealth Management, which owns roughly 4% of Xponential's shares, followed with its own public demand on April 1. The boutique fitness franchisor operates five brands within its portfolio, Club Pilates, Pure Barre, YogaSix, BFT and StretchLab, down from 11 brands around two years ago. Xponential has tapped Jefferies LLC as its financial advisor for the review, during which the board's independent directors will evaluate a range of potential alternatives, including a sale, merger or other strategic or financial transaction, the company said. The board has also appointed Nicole Parent Haughey, a former Fortune 50 executive and founder of Halsey Loganberry Growth Advisors, as an independent director. Jair Clarke, Chelsea A. Grayson and Bruce Haase have stepped down from the board. CEO Mike Nuzzo, who took the helm last August, succeeding Mark King, said the company would continue executing its strategy while the review proceeds.
Jefferies has analysed potential 100% tariffs on certain pharmaceutical imports following reports that the Trump administration is preparing new levies under a Section 232 investigation. The tariffs would apply to companies without White House deals, whilst imports from countries with trade agreements would be capped at negotiated terms. The investment bank believes generic drugs will likely remain exempt, as tariffs on generics could trigger drug shortages due to thin margins and supply chain disruptions. Among Indian pharmaceutical companies, Sun Pharma faces the highest exposure, with innovative medicines comprising roughly 20% of its revenue. However, Jefferies expects tariffs on Sun Pharma's innovative products to be capped at 15%, as key manufacturing locations South Korea and the EU have negotiated that rate.
Lexicon Pharmaceuticals has closed a $32 million public offering, selling 32 million shares at $1.30 each, alongside a private placement including preferred stock. The Nasdaq-traded biotech aims to fund late-stage programmes for neuropathic pain and cardiometabolic diseases as cash reserves fell to $125.2 million by end-2025. The company's pilavapadin candidate for neuropathic pain is licensed to Novo Nordisk under a deal worth up to $1 billion in milestones plus royalties. A recent trial initiation triggered a $10 million payment. Lexicon also plans to file an NDA in 2026 for sotagliflozin in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. The stock dipped approximately 2% post-announcement due to dilution concerns. Fourth-quarter 2025 revenues are projected at $3.14 million, down 88% year-over-year.
