Thicha Satapitanon/iStock via Getty Images The last time I wrote about Voyager Therapeutics ( VYGR ), it was with a Seeking Alpha article entitled " Voyager: Anti-Tau Antibody Differentiation For AD Treatment Could Boost Prospects ." With respect to this article, I mentioned that the company was set to provide an update with respect to safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetic [PK] data from its phase 1 single-ascending dose [SAD] study using its anti-tau monoclonal antibody VY7523 for the treatment of patients with Alzheimer's Disease [AD]. I rated the stock as a "Strong Buy," and I'm going to keep this rating for now. Why is that? Well, there are several reasons why I'm going to maintain this rating for it. The first reason is because the company achieved what it needed to do with respect to its initial safety/PK data. More about this below, but the gist of it is that there were no serious adverse events [SAEs] reported at all, first and foremost. Secondly, the pharmacokinetic profile necessary to move on to the phase 1 multiple-ascending dose [MAD] portion of the phase 1 study using VY7523 to treat actual patients with AD was able to happen because of what was achieved in the final safety/PK outcome. The third reason is because the company has not yet released any actual data on the mode of action for this drug to treat these patients. Thus, it's too early for me to downgrade the stock yet, as key data has yet to be released. This is where a major catalyst comes into play, which is that the company is expected to release tau positron emission tomography [PET] imaging data from the phase 1b MAD study using this drug to treat these patients in the second half of 2026. This is going to be the major inflection point; thus, without seeing this first, I don't believe a downgrade is yet in order. In addition, the company mentions in its Q4 and full-year 2025 financial report that it intends to release third-party data based on the advancement of VY7523 to treat AD patie...

Poland’s largest lender PKO Bank Polski SA is speeding up its evaluation of opening a branch in Hungary after a pro-European opposition secured a landslide victory. Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban conceded defeat in Sunday’s election after 16 years in power. The historic win by Peter Magyar’s Tisza party is seen helping unblock access to EU financing, which has been partly frozen by Brussels due to rule-of-law breaches by Orban’s administration. “Following the election, we hope for a more predictable regulatory environment,” PKO Chief Executive Officer Szymon Midera told Bloomberg News in Warsaw on Monday. The state-controlled bank plans to double its European branch network to keep up with local companies expanding beyond their home market, the CEO said earlier this year.

CHUNYIP WONG/iStock via Getty Images KKR's ( KKR ) Japan real estate management subsidiary, KJRM Holdings, plans expansion in purchases of properties that Japanese companies want to sell off—a market the firm estimates at ¥450T, or $2.8T. "Corporate demand to sell real estate is very strong due partly to shareholder activists and that will likely be the case for three to five years," according to KJRM Holdings’ president, Naoki Suzuki said in an interview, the Japan Times reported. "The trend of companies selling off their real estate holdings to improve capital efficiency will continue." The U.S.-based investment firm is positioning its Japan-focused property platform to capture a growing wave of disposals as local corporations face mounting pressure. Suzuki added that more than half of the properties acquired in recent years by KJRM-managed real estate investment trusts and private funds were sourced from corporate divestments. The Japanese unit is focusing on inflation‑resistant, high‑cash‑flow properties in major cities such as Tokyo, Osaka, and Nagoya, betting that higher rents can offset rising interest rates and borrowing costs.

Morning, I’m Louise Moon from Bloomberg UK’s breaking news team, bringing you up to speed on today’s top business stories. War in Iran may derail a recovery in British living standards , hitting incomes and business confidence. Not just a blow to households, but also to Keir Starmer’s promise of boosting living standards over the parliamentary term. The Resolution Foundation think tank has warned of a 0.6% drop in income this financial year for a typical UK household, based on forecasts for energy prices. It had expected a 0.9% rise. That equates to being £500 worse off. Meanwhile, Deloitte’s survey of finance chiefs found the conflict has pushed business confidence to the lowest since the early stages of the pandemic, six years ago. While that thankfully doesn’t seem to have reached the wider labour market yet, the threat is a setback to personal finances that have been steadily recovering since the inflation shock caused by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022. “For those in the middle and toward the top of the income distribution, even the thin growth they had been expecting has tipped into negative territory,” said Resolution Foundation chief economist James Smith.
