Amneal Pharmaceuticals is trading 5.77% up at $19.79 after FDA approval and immediate U.S. launch of generic lanreotide injection.
- FDA approval came September 18, 2026; the launch targets acromegaly and certain neuroendocrine tumors.

- Broader risk-on sentiment, including gains in major indexes, may also be supporting the move.
