The AMF confirms the resumption of trading in Rapid Nutrition shares
Please note that the French version of this press release was published on 10 April 2026.
As indicated in its press release of 13 March 2026, and after having informed investors of its suspicions of possible price manipulation, the Autorité des Marchés Financiers confirms that trading in Rapid Nutrition shares will resume on Monday, 13 April 2026. It is calling on investors to remain vigilant in view of the risks of price manipulation surrounding this share.
In accordance with the regulations on financial markets and market abuse, the AMF asked Euronext to suspend trading in Rapid Nutrition shares at the end of the trading session on 18 February 2026 and until 13 March 2026, extended until 10 April inclusive, due to suspicions of market abuse affecting the company's shares, as the AMF had noted several indicators of a possible ongoing “pump and dump” practice (see box) aimed at artificially raising the share price before causing its slump, exposing investors to significant losses.
This suspension period has now ended and the AMF confirms that trading in the shares will resume from Monday, 13 April 2026. Orders that were in the Euronext order book on 19 February have been purged by Euronext.
The AMF calls on investors to remain extremely vigilant about possible manipulation aimed at eliciting purchases in order to artificially drive prices up.
The AMF’s analytical work is still ongoing and it invites investors who may have bought shares as a result of aggressive sales pitches or promotional communications to keep all the documents at their disposal (screenshots of these items) and to forward them to the AMF by contacting the Epargne Info Service platform online or by telephone on +33(0)1 53 45 62 00 from Monday to Friday, 9am to 12.30pm (cost of a local call).
The "pump and dump" technique is a practice that consists of approaching investors and luring them with a promise that a share has strong upside potential, which they need to seize quickly. The purchases generated in this way boost the share price and trading volumes, and support the pitch of this person who generates further purchases, thereby maintaining buying pressure on the share. In addition to the fact that this person does not have any authorisation or approval to recommend these shares for purchase, they deliberately fail to point out to their contacts that they hold often large quantities of these shares, which they sell as the possibility arises, thereby making high capital gains. As soon as the sale is completed and the buying pressure ceases, the share price falls sharply, causing significant prejudice to investors, who find themselves with large positions bought at a high price.
