Argenx launches $77 cash tender to acquire Forte Biosciences

Aug 6, 2026, 7:51 AM EDT1 sourcesAI-analyzed
Why it may matterVerify against the original reporting

The cash premium and clear path to a completed merger reduce execution risk for Forte holders and move ARGX closer to expanding its immunology portfolio; near-term price movements will hinge on tender progress and regulatory clearance, with a potential longer-term lift if FB102 integration adds value.
