AMF Suspends Trading of RAPID NUTRITION Shares
The Financial Markets Authority (AMF) has requested the suspension of trading in RAPID NUTRITION shares starting Thursday, February 19, 2026, suspecting a 'pump and dump' type of market manipulation affecting the stock.
Immediate Suspension of Trading
In accordance with market abuse regulations, the AMF has requested Euronext to suspend trading of RAPID NUTRITION shares from the session on Thursday, February 19, 2026, until Friday, March 13, 2026, inclusive, or until an earlier notice is published if market information allows trading to resume. The authority has identified several indicators of a possible 'pump and dump' scheme currently being practiced on the company’s shares. This technique involves approaching investors to entice them with the prospect of a significant price increase, prompting purchases that drive up the stock price. The individuals behind this scheme are not authorized or licensed to recommend these securities and fail to disclose that they hold significant quantities of these shares, which they gradually sell off, thus realizing substantial capital gains.
AMF Urges Caution
The AMF is urging investors to exercise extreme caution regarding purchase recommendations promising high potential gains on RAPID NUTRITION shares. The authority advises investors who have bought shares following aggressive pitches to keep all relevant documents (screenshots, email exchanges, or messages through private messaging services) and to submit them by contacting the Epargne Info Service online or by phone at +33(0)1 53 45 62 00 from Monday to Friday, 9:00 AM to 12:30 PM. The AMF will continue its analysis of this case.
