CRISPR Therapeutics (NASDAQ: CRSP) , a mid-cap biotech company, achieved a major milestone when it earned approval for the first CRISPR-based medicine in 2023. However, the company has significantly underperformed broader equities in the past five years. The stock is bouncing back, though, and it has had momentum over the trailing-12-month period. Things could get even better as CRISPR Therapeutics makes clinical progress throughout the year. With plenty of catalysts ahead, is now a good time to buy the stock? Image source: Getty Images. CRISPR Therapeutics is a gene editing specialist . The company's only approved product, Casgevy -- which it commercializes in partnership with Vertex Pharmaceuticals -- has not yet generated much revenue. But CRISPR Therapeutics has a rich pipeline of exciting candidates across several therapeutic areas. Some of the company's products in development could be breakthroughs in their respective niches, just like Casgevy was in treating sickle cell disease and transfusion-dependent beta-thalassemia.

leekris Spirit Airlines (FLLYQ) jumped 156% as President Donald Trump said he would like to see a buyer for the distressed airline and said he may be open to the government helping out the discount carrier. 'I’d love somebody to buy Spirit,” Trump said Tuesday in an interview with CNBC. "Spirit's in trouble. Maybe the federal government should help that one out." Trump's comments come after a Bloomberg report on Monday that Spirit Aviation Holdings ( FLYYQ ) was looking for an infusion of cash from the U.S. government in a late bid to prevent a full liquidation of the airline. Sources told Bloomberg that an offer has been made to government officials. Spirit Airlines ( FLYYQ ) is currently moving through a second Chapter 11 bankruptcy. The airline company had previously signaled that it expected to emerge from bankruptcy by early summer, and it had reached agreements aimed at keeping the process on track. However, if the airline cannot secure a workable deal with lenders and other stakeholders, liquidation could become a last-resort option to wind down the business and sell off assets. Trump also said he would be against a combination of United Airlines ( UAL ) and American Airlines ( AAL ) after reports last week about a possible combination. "I don't mind mergers," Trump said in the interview. "But with American, it's doing fine and United is doing very well. I know the United people; they are doing very well. I don't like having them merge." American Airlines ( AAL ) announced on Friday that it had not engaged i n discussions with United Airlines ( UAL ) regarding a merger and that it was not interested in such a deal.

Tomsmith585/iStock Unreleased via Getty Images United Parcel Service ( UPS ) and Happy Returns expanded their box-free, label-free Return Bar network to 10K U.S. locations. The expansion reinforces the partnership's standing as the country’s largest consolidated return network. The milestone came after more than 1,700 new sites were added, primarily through partnerships with Annex Brands and PackageHub Business Centers, building on existing relationships with The UPS Store, Staples, and Ulta Beauty ( ULTA ) to give online shoppers more convenient return options and immediate refunds. The expanded network means 79% of the U.S. population now lives within five miles of a Return Bar, and more than a quarter lives within one mile, which UPS ( UPS ) highlights as making returns easier to integrate into routine errands. As part of the returns program, shoppers can bring unpackaged items without labels to participating locations, where associates scan a barcode to verify the return and trigger an instant refund, eliminating the need for boxes, printers, or lengthy in-store processes. "Our Return Bar network is now more than three times the size of the next closest option, significantly expanding access to box-free, label-free returns with immediate refunds. This growth allows us to deliver unmatched convenience to online shoppers across the country," updated Happy Returns CEO David Sobie. Happy Returns is a reverse logistics and technology company that provides end-to-end returns solutions for online retailers and their customers, focused on box-free, label-free in-person drop-offs and streamlined processing of e-commerce returns. Founded in 2015 and headquartered in Santa Monica, California, it operates as a UPS company and works with brands such as Everlane, SHEIN, and REVOLVE to make returns faster, less costly, and more sustainable. UPS ( UPS ) acquired Happy Returns from PayPal in late 2023. More on UPS United Parcel Service: Buying Opportunities After The Selloff Uni...

alexsl Analyst Oliver Rodzianko upgraded Eli Lilly ( LLY ) to a Buy, pointing to the sustained growth potential of its obesity drug portfolio, while Luca Socci assigned a buy rating to Union Pacific ( UNP ), citing the company’s industry-leading efficiency and strong return on invested capital. In contrast, the technology and streaming sectors have seen cautious shifts, with downgrades for Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. ( AMD ) and Netflix, Inc. ( NFLX ). JR Research lowered AMD to a hold due to a high valuation that offers little room for disappointment relative to peers. Justin Purohit also downgraded Netflix to a hold, following a quarterly report that left investors concerned about the company’s murky subscriber outlook. Upgrades Eli Lilly and Company ( LLY ): Upgrade Hold to Buy by Oliver Rodzianko . The stock is positioned for significant growth driven by the continued success of obesity treatments Mounjaro and Zepbound, with supply chain improvements and a robust pipeline expected to bolster the company’s long-term competitive moat. “I like the setup of LLY stock at this juncture. The valuation looks rich in absolute terms, but relative to the underlying earnings growth, the entry point looks strong indeed.” Union Pacific ( UNP ): Buy Rating by Luca Socci . The railroad operator maintains a competitive edge through industry-leading efficiency and favorable volume trends in its grain and coal divisions, with a low operating ratio and strong ROIC supporting a positive long-term outlook despite near-term fuel cost headwinds. “While in Q1 we will see a fuel cost explosion, if UNP's fuel efficiency stays this low or even improves, we will have another strong signal of the company's internal efficiency...For sure, on a pullback to $230, the stock would be trading at a fwd PE of 18.3, which would make the entry point quite interesting.” Downgrades Advanced Micro Devices ( AMD ): Downgrade Buy to Hold by JR Research .

U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) speaks to members of the media as the Trump Cabinet briefs members of Congress on Iran at the U.S. Capitol on March 3, 2026 in Washington, DC. Anna Moneymaker | Getty Images Senate Republicans on Tuesday released the text of a budget resolution to fully fund two controversial immigration enforcement agencies at the heart of the ongoing Department of Homeland Security shutdown through the end of President Donald Trump 's term. The resolution seeks to fund the two DHS divisions — Immigration and Customs Enforcement , and Customs and Border Protection — without having to rely on votes from Democratic senators to do so. Opposition from Democrats to funding ICE and CBP first triggered the partial shutdown of DHS and has kept it going. The Senate could take a preliminary vote on the measure as early as Tuesday afternoon. The resolution, which directs the Senate's Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs and Judiciary committees to draft final immigration enforcement bills, sets a cap of $70 billion for each committee. Trump has set a June 1 deadline for passage of a final bill to fund the two divisions.

Michael Vi/iStock Editorial via Getty Images I'm revising Xero's ( XROLF ) (XRO.AX) rating from "Hold" to "Buy." My take is that AI-related disruption risks for XROLF are overstated. Its alliance with Anthropic ( ANTHRO ) and the read-throughs from a UBS Group ( UBS ) survey have given me reasons to be optimistic. My prior April 6, 2025, piece outlined my mixed opinion of the company's forthcoming full-year financial release and its venture into the U nited States. Xero-Anthropic Tie- U p Is A Favorable Development Last month, the firm issued an announcement disclosing "a multi-year deal" between its "global small business platform and Anthropic, the company behind Claude." Details Of The Claude-Xero Integration March 27, 2026, Press Release I've identified multiple positives pertaining to the two entities' co-operation. At its earlier Feb 3 analyst call , the group noted that "new (artificial intelligence) distribution channels" could drive a "4x TAM expansion for SaaS companies" like itself, citing Gartner's projections. I share this bullishness. Previously, investors were worried that small business operators would choose AI chatbots over legacy platforms for their accounting needs. I'm sure there are many who are put off by the steep learning curve associated with traditional software. In my view, the ANTHRO-Xero collaboration could help XROLF make its solutions more user-friendly. I see it generating additional revenues by penetrating these underserved segments via Claude. Also, XROLF's value proposition is likely to be enhanced by the incorporation of "Claude's advanced reasoning" into its own AI agent called "Just Ask Xero/JAX" as highlighted above. The enterprise indicated at the early-Feb briefing that its existing "AI-enabled chat and self-service tools are already saving an average of 22 hours per month" for customers. I can imagine JAX becoming even more productive by leveraging Claude.ai. The XROLF-ANTHRO combination offers a potent mix of high-quality ...

While the Hue Go is currently listed for $175.99 , the new Govee Table Lamp Classic has launched at $79.99 . Assuming you're okay with never using it outside, Govee's alternative may be the better buy. Govee's cordless lamp is a bit brighter producing up to 500 lumens of light compared to just 370 lumens from Hue's. However, being dimmer allows the Hue lamp to run for up to 48 hours without external power, while the Govee's 4,800mAh battery will only last for up to 30 hours with colored lighting, or up to … Read the full story at The Verge.
