On November 4, 2016, Alexion cancelled an appearance at the Credit Suisse Healthcare Conference. The Company also failed to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q with the SEC within two days of its earnings announcement on October 27, 2016. On November 9, 2016, Alexion announced that the Company would not be able to timely file its financial and operating results for the quarter ended September 30, 2016. When this news was announced, shares of Alexion fell in value, causing investors harm.

If you suffered a loss in Alexion you have until January 17, 2017 to request that the Court appoint you as lead plaintiff. Your ability to share in any recovery doesn't require that you serve as a lead plaintiff.
