Yes, absolutely positively quite possible! A Hikma loss would be more than a legal footnote for Amarin Corporation — it would be a narrative shock. The moment litigation fog lifts, AMRN flips from “distressed battleground stock” to a clean, cash-generating global cardiovascular franchise with stabilized U.S. economics and growing ROW momentum. In that setup, even a credible takeover rumor — not a deal, just interest — is enough to ignite a violent squeeze, given the asymmetric positioning, low float, and years of bearish consensus. Big pharma doesn’t need Vascepa to be perfect; it just needs to be predictable, and a Hikma defeat delivers exactly that. A strategic buyer paying $5–10B for a de-risked, globally scaled CV asset with lifecycle optionality is entirely rational — and the market will front-run that possibility long before any press release hits. In this tape, perception moves faster than fundamentals, and once the bear thesis breaks, price discovery won’t be polite.
