NEW YORK, May 04, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — From a closing price of $15.43 on February 26, 2026, Hercules Capital, Inc. (NYSE: HTGC) shares plummeted to $14.21 the following day, erasing $1.22 per share in value after a corrective report exposed what the lawsuit alleges is fundamental weakness in the Company’s operations.

The market’s swift reaction stripped $1.22 from each share of HTGC.<\/p>\n
