Tourlite Capital Management made the following regarding Esperion Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ:ESPR) in its fourth quarter 2023 investor letter:
“Esperion Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ:ESPR): Our thesis was driven by a catalyst tied to a significant litigation payout expected in Q1 2024. As the year ended, Esperion’s stock saw substantial appreciation. The $125 million settlement received in January, while falling short of the initial $300 million expectation, extended the business’s cash runway. Due to the stock selling off on the litigation announcement, it resulted in a small detraction from performance in January. As our thesis has played out, we exited our position in January.”
