Victor Golmer/iStock Editorial via Getty Images Canadian health officials imposed restrictions on all plasma centers run by Grifols ( GRFS ) after the Spanish company failed multiple regulatory inspections and following fatal adverse reactions in two plasma donors. Regulator Health Canada said on Wednesday that a January inspection conducted at Grifols’ ( GRFS ) Canadian head office in Oakville, Ont., found that the company didn’t accurately evaluate donors’ suitability and lacked properly trained staff. Grifols ( GRFS ), which runs 16 plasma collection centers across Canada, didn’t always comply with operating procedures and thoroughly investigate errors and accidents, a spokesperson for the regulator said, according to CBC. Health Canada had issued noncompliant ratings following inspections at two other Grofols’ ( GRFS ) facilities in Calgary and Regina recently. The fatal adverse reactions of two plasma donors in Winnipeg are still under investigation, the agency said, adding that it has yet to establish a link between plasma collection and deaths, which occurred in October 2025 and January 2026.

BING-JHEN HONG/iStock Editorial via Getty Images Nvidia's ( NVDA ) H100 1-year GPU rental contract pricing has surged almost 40% to $2.35/hour/GPU in March from a low of $1.70/hour/GPU in October 2025, according to SemiAnalysis.

BING-JHEN HONG/iStock Editorial via Getty Images Nvidia's ( NVDA ) H100 1-year GPU rental contract pricing has surged almost 40% to $2.35/hour/GPU in March from a low of $1.70/hour/GPU in October 2025, according to SemiAnalysis. The research firm released its H100 1-year rental contract price index, which was constructed from direct survey data across a pool of over 100 market participants, including Neocloud providers, buyers, and sellers of compute that is captured every month. The researchers said on-demand graphics processing unit, or GPU, rental capacity is sold out across all GPU types — those that have locked up on-demand instances are not willing to relinquish this capacity back into the pool despite recent price hikes. "Customers are fighting to pay $14/hr/GPU for p6-b200 spot instances in AWS, some Neocloud Giants no longer sell single nodes, H100s are getting renewed at the exact same rate they were signed at 2-3 years ago and some H100 contracts are being renewed for 4 years though 2028. Hunting for even 8 nodes (64 GPUs) of H100s or H200s is not easy – half the providers we asked were completely sold out, and most providers will simply respond they have no capacity of Hopper GPUs coming off contract at all, said the researchers. The report added that Nvidia's Blackwell GPU availability is very tight too. The researchers said they are hearing lead times for new Blackwell deployments now extending into June-July due to strong demand for open-weight models and the ongoing surge in inference demand. AI inference is the process where a trained AI model applies its learned patterns to new data to make predictions, generate content, or make decisions. The report said that before late 2025, the prevailing expectation across the ecosystem was that Hopper chips (such as H100 and H200) rental prices would drop considerably as Blackwell deployments ramped up, given the latter’s much lower cost of compute. However, the opposite happened in late 2025. The demand for ...

Dozen people arrive under new deal but legal challenges expected with process criticised for ‘dehumanising process’ A flight carrying people being deported from the US has landed in Uganda, as Donald Trump’s administration pushes on with its strategy of expelling migrants to countries they have no ties to. The deported people would stay in the east African country as “a transition phase for potential onward transmission to other countries”, an unnamed senior Ugandan government official told Reuters.

Six-day stoppage in England next week to go ahead and minister confirms offer of extra training places withdrawn The NHS is bracing for the longest strike yet by resident doctors after last-ditch talks failed, prompting Wes Streeting to accuse the medics of suffering from “delusion”. Many thousands of resident – formerly junior – doctors across England will stage a six-day stoppage over pay and jobs starting at 7am on Tuesday, just after the Easter weekend. A deadline for agreement ended on Thursday. Continue reading...

Michael Derrer Fuchs/iStock Editorial via Getty Images When Delta Air Lines ( DAL ) reports its Q1 on April 8, investor attention will likely be captivated by two recent headlines. Rising fuel costs and shutdown-related airport strains. In its business update in mid-March, DAL reported that it is positioned strongly to navigate the current unfavorable environment. It even raised its revenue guidance for the upcoming quarter. I’ll be watching results to see if DAL can live up to its raised bar. So far, investors like what they see. Shares are outperforming the sector and are still performing fairly well YTD despite the unfavorable operating environment. Seeking Alpha - 1-YR Share Price Performance Of DAL Compared To Peers There appears to be consensus bullishness on DAL across the analyst communities. However, I am taking a more "N eutral" view, and I see shares fairly valued ahead of its Q1 release. DAL Stock Key Metrics At about 10x forward earnings, I view DAL as fairly priced, both to historical averages and relative to the peer set. The stock’s recent outperformance has also earned DAL a slight premium to the group. Seeking Alpha - DAL Valuation Metrics I view DAL as reasonably priced in other measures as well. This includes its enterprise value to forward EBITDA, which currently sits around 6.5x. That’s right in line with where I would expect it to trade. Seeking Alpha - Valuation Metrics Of DAL Compared To Peers Though the valuation appears adequately priced on the surface, the vast majority of analysts covering the stock see further room for DAL to run. On Wall Street, for example, analysts see shares fairly valued at around the $80/share mark. This would represent nearly 20% upside potential from current trading levels. Seeking Alpha - Average Price Target Of DAL Stock Sentiment is similarly bullish within the Seeking Alpha (“SA”) analyst community. I believe DAL does have a few catalysts to get here, including rising consumer and corporate demand fundamenta...

US lawmakers unveiled legislation that seeks to crack down on exports of chipmaking tools to China, especially from allies including the Netherlands and Japan, in a bipartisan effort to help Washington further constrain Beijing’s technology ambitions. The draft bill, introduced in the House on Thursday, would strengthen existing restrictions on semiconductor manufacturing equipment sales from firms like ASML Holding NV and Tokyo Electron Ltd . A companion version is expected to be released in the Senate later this month, according to people familiar with the matter. The goal is to subject these companies to the same, tougher curbs their American rivals currently face. That includes banning their engineers from maintaining and repairing tools at certain facilities in China, which US persons are already barred from doing — one of most animating issues of export control debates. The bill would also introduce new controls that affect both foreign and US firms — namely Applied Materials Inc. , Lam Research Corp. and KLA Corp. Tools from these companies, along with ASML and Tokyo Electron, are essential to make everything from Nvidia Corp. ’s AI chips to simpler components that go into all types of electronics. For years, the US has worked with Japan and the Netherlands to stop China from getting the best gear, which has been a major chokepoint for the Asian country’s AI chip production. But China hawks in Washington have long thought the rules could be more effective. The bill — dubbed the Multilateral Alignment of Technology Controls on Hardware, or MATCH, Act — aims to “ensure that America and our allies move in lockstep to close these gaps, defend our technological edge, and safeguard the supply chains that power everything from our weapons systems to our critical infrastructure,” Representative Michael Baumgartner , who’s leading the House version, said in a statement. Senator Pete Ricketts , who’s spearheading the companion bill, added that the legislation would hel...

President Trump, as soon as Thursday, may announce new tariffs on pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies that have yet to sign "most favored nation" deals with the federal government to provide cheaper medicines to Americans.

President Trump, as soon as Thursday, may announce new tariffs on pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies that have yet to sign "most favored nation" deals with the federal government to provide cheaper medicines to Americans. Bloomberg , the first to report the potential development, said that companies that haven't signed an agreement or aren't in negotiations will be subject to a 100% levy. The new tariffs are the result of a Commerce Department Section 232 Trade Expansion Act investigation which can lead to tariffs or restrictions on imported items to protect national security. A draft of the plan viewed by Endpoints News provides some additional details: Pharmas that onshore manufacturing to the US will be hit with a 20% rate and would last four years; and if a company is impacted by more than one tariff, the lower rate will be implemented. The pharma and biotech news website also said that products originating from some countries would only face a 15% tariff: the EU, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, South Korea, and Japan. The document also states that the UK would receive a 10% tariff that could eventually disappear, depending on pricing negotiations. Also, active pharmaceutical ingredients produced in the US but manufactured into drugs outside the country would not face tariffs if they are eventually sold in the US. Most major pharmaceutical companies have already signed MFN deals with the Trump administration. Regeneron Pharmaceuticals ( REGN ) is one that has yet to. In March, the Midsized Biotech Alliance of America, which just launched in October, issued a statement opposing the president's "most favored nation" policy which it referred to as "importing foreign price controls." The organization's members include Acadia Pharmaceuticals ( ACAD ), Alnylam Pharmaceuticals ( ALNY ), BioMarin Pharmaceutical ( BMRN ), Exelixis ( EXEL ), Incyte ( INCY ), and Madrigal Pharmaceuticals ( MDGL ).
