$SMMT I looked into recent FDA decisions to see when it was scheduled when the actual decision was delivered from FDA to the company when the company made a public announcement
Before the scheduled deadline - 61.1%
Exactly on the deadline - 36.1%
After the deadline - 2.8%
Here’s some recent actual company readouts and only one was negative, and that was more due to manufacturing capability than the actual drug:
