Love Employee/iStock via Getty Images Investment Overview Sarepta Therapeutics ( SRPT ) stock made a 35% gain yesterday, rising to a value of $34 per share (market cap of $2.5bn), after the company shared the first clinical results from two of its siRNA programs for neuromuscular diseases, SRP-001, indicated for facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy type 1 ("FSHD1"), and SRP-1003, indicated for myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1). In early trading today, shares are down ~7%. Sarepta's short, interfering RNA ("siRNA") programs were developed using Arrowhead Pharmaceuticals ( ARWR ) targeted RNAi molecule ("TrIM") platform which is, according to Sarepta's 2025 annual report / 10K filing : designed to deliver siRNA to multiple tissue and cell types throughout the body with the goal of initiating the RNA interference mechanism and inducing rapid and durable knockdown of target genes. An overview of the platform is also provided in the slide below, taken from Sarepta's results presentation , shared yesterday: TRiM platform overview (presentation) Overview Of SRP-1001 Results In a press release also shared yesterday Sarepta notes that FSHD is a rare genetic disease that causes progressive weakness of skeletal muscles: caused by abnormal activation of the DUX4 gene on chromosome 4, leading to production of the DUX4 protein, which is toxic to muscle cells and drives muscle degeneration. There are no cures or disease modifying therapies for the condition approved today, the company also notes. SRP-1001 is designed to reduce or "knock down" the production of DUX4 protein in patients' skeletal muscle. Sarepta's Phase 1/2 randomised study involved single and multiple ascending dose ("SAD / MAD") cohorts, and enrolled 56 patients in total, 40 treated with varying doses of SRP-001 (up to a maximum 8.17mg/kg dose), and 10 treated with placebo. Among the highlights from the study shared yesterday, Sarepta noted that: a single dose of SRP-1001 delivers 6-fold greater siRNA muscle conce...

Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell participates in a board meeting at the Federal Reserve on March 19, 2026 in Washington, DC. Kevin Dietsch | Getty Images The Federal Reserve 's Board of Governors urged a judge to reject prosecutors' request that he reconsider his recent decision to block subpoenas issued in a criminal investigation of Chair Jerome Powell over pricey renovations of the central bank's headquarters and his congressional testimony about that. The Fed's lawyers, in a court filing unsealed Thursday, told Judge James Boasberg that the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Columbia failed to come even remotely close to meeting the legal threshold for its motion for reconsideration . "The Motion for Reconsideration ... does not even mention — let alone meet — the demanding legal standard that applies to the extraordinary relief it seeks," the Fed's lawyers wrote in the motion in U.S. District Court in Washington. The attorneys said "reconsideration is warranted only" when there has been a change in the law related to the issues in the case, when there is new evidence, or if "there is a need to correct clear error or prevent manifest injustice." None of those have occurred, the lawyers said. "The Motion [by prosecutors] does not try to clear these high hurdles, resorting instead to mischaracterizations of the Court's opinion ... and the record on which it rests," the lawyers wrote. The Fed's argument was expected, given that the board sought to block the subpoenas to the central bank in the first place, having said that they and the criminal probe were mere pretexts to get Powell to agree to cut interest rates more quickly and more sharply, as President Donald Trump has repeatedly demanded. "Moron at the Fed" Trump, during comments to reporters at the White House on Thursday, called Powell a "moron at the Fed." That echoed similar past scathing remarks Trump has made about the chair, which Boasberg quoted at length in his decision as evidence that, "I...

Thanks for reading Hyperdrive , Bloomberg’s newsletter on the future of the auto world. Volvo Car expects to hear from US authorities on whether it can keep selling in the world’s second-largest auto market in the coming months, according to Chief Executive Officer Hakan Samuelsson. The maker of the XC60 sport utility vehicle expects the US Commerce Department to announce its decision before the summer, the executive said Thursday. Owned by Geely, Volvo is working to avert a potential sales ban of vehicles that include software developed by Chinese-backed companies. “We will of course meet the requirements,” Samuelsson, 75, said in an interview. The US market is so important because sales for Western-linked brands are declining in China, where local manufacturers are taking over on EVs. Volvo operates a factory in South Carolina that shields it from US tariffs. It sold nearly 122,000 cars in the US last year, around 17% of its global total. Samuelsson is also pushing through cost cuts and rejuvenating the Swedish-origin automaker’s lineup. Roughly a year after being brought back as CEO by Geely’s billionaire owner Li Shufu, Samuelsson spoke with Bloomberg News about trade tensions, the impact of the Middle East conflict and prospects in the US. Here are highlights from the conversation that have been edited and condensed for length and clarity: It’s been almost a year since you came back as Volvo CEO. How prepared were you for how quickly tariffs, geopolitics, and regulations would start affecting the industry? Liberation day was actually the day I started. Above all there was a lot of uncertainty in April and May. For business, uncertainty is often worse than the tariffs themselves. So now as things have settled, I think most people feel we can live with it. You’ve shuffled around production in response to the levies. We had talked for quite some time about that we probably need to move more toward making cars where we sell them. Also our factory in Charleston was ...

As the partial government shutdown stretches close to 40 days, fliers across the US encountered some of the longest airport security lines yet, with travelers increasingly seeking out alternatives to planes. Images on social media showed passengers queuing outside Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport early Thursday morning with the facility’s website defaulting to a page advising flyers to arrive at least four hours early for screenings. In Baltimore, one of the security check points was closed, leading to long lines at others sites, the airport said on its website . Houston’s George Bush Intercontinental Airport warned that lines could get even worse as an influx of travelers arrive in the city for several major events, including the NCAA’s March Madness basketball tournament. Two of the Sweet 16 games are scheduled to be played in the city on Thursday. Officials said that wait times for Transportation Security Administration screenings may top four hours. Joshua Rodriguez spent seven hours at Houston’s main airport on Wednesday, four of which were waiting in line at security. If the shutdown continues, he’s opting to drive for vacation getaways rather than take another flight. “If the drive is going to take 12 hours and it took me 12 hours from the moment I got to the airport till I got home then I might as well have driven,” he said. “The flight was supposed to be the quicker option.” TSA officers have been working without pay as a Department of Homeland Security funding stalemate in Washington continues to drag on amid disputes over immigration enforcement policy. Read More: Airport Wait Times Worst in History After 480 Officers Leave On Wednesday more than 3,000 TSA agents had called out, according to DHS data. Atlanta’s main airport had more than 40% of agents absent, among the highest in the US.

Jesse Ventura Claims Trump Staged Assassination Attempt With Wrestling 'Blade Job' On His Own Ear Authored by Steve Watson via modernity.news , Jesse Ventura went full conspiracy mode on Piers Morgan’s show, suggesting President Trump faked the July 13, 2024, assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania, complete with a self-inflicted “blade job” cut to his ear for dramatic effect. The former Minnesota governor and wrestling personality repeatedly questioned the authenticity of the event that left Trump bloodied but defiant, while downplaying the death of Corey Comperatore, the firefighter who was killed shielding his family. Morgan highlighted Trump’s immediate response: standing up and pumping his fist with the call “fight, fight, fight.” “Oh yeah, right, right, right. You ever hear of a blade job?” Ventura replied. Morgan pressed back: “A blade? What, you think it was fake?” “I don’t know. Where’s his scar today?” Ventura said. “ Somebody died, literally, sitting behind him ,” Morgan countered Ventura continued: “ Come on, Piers. You’re gonna tell me this guy’s a big hero now? ” “I thought that day he was, yeah,” Morgan responded. “Yeah, well, then he accomplished what he wanted out of you guys ,” Ventura shot back. Morgan held firm: “No, I think you can be heroic on one day, and he can be less heroic on others. But if you ask me, was he heroic when he got shot? Yeah.” The exchange captured Ventura hedging with repeated “I don’t know” disclaimers even as he pushed the theory that Trump orchestrated the shooting purely for sympathy and electoral gain. Ventura, who once hosted a conspiracy theory television series, appeared uncomfortable when basic facts about the real bullet wound and the dead father were raised. This latest outburst echoes earlier attempts to rewrite the Butler rally. In 2024, a simple photo of Trump’s ear without a bandage triggered leftist conspiracy spirals claiming the injury was exaggerated or nonexistent. By 2025, CNN’s Touré was openly fr...

ardasavasciogullari/iStock via Getty Images As I said in my last macro coverage , President Trump's delayed ultimatum may be a trap for dip buyers. As I'm writing this article, the markets are back in the red, with all sectors down in the premarket session, except energy. History rhymes, and this has been the song all month. Notably, the selloff is broad, beyond large caps! In fact, in the last month, the Russell 2000 ( RTY ) has been down by 6.2%, several points more than the S&P 50 (not 500). For reference, I included the market tape below, as it provides a good read on what has been going on in the past few weeks. Guidance Terminal The selloff today seems to be driven by Iran’s rejection of the U.S.-proposed 15-point plan and its insistence that Tehran will dictate the terms and timing of the war’s conclusion. On the U.S. side, the White House press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, said Trump would hit Iran harder if Tehran did not accept that it had been defeated militarily. At the same time, the U.S. is sending several thousand troops from the 82nd Airborne Division to the Middle East. Yes, yes, yes... I know what the bulls may say: the U.S. is using pressure tactics to force a favorable deal. At least, that is what some analysts think . However, I disagree, and in this piece, I will explain my view on what's likely to happen in the next few days and the implications for the broader markets. To be clear, my view is that there will be a ceasefire agreement in the next few days, followed by a brief rally. However, I argue the excitement will be short-lived and may lead to a double-digit selloff if the conflict escalates again. Based on the options market, I think I am not the only one who thinks so. The Market Is Skeptical Of A Rally Post Ceasefire If you think the market is complacent after Trump's ultimatum delay last Monday, it's because you probably haven't seen what's going on in the options market. Below is a chart representing the open interest (i.e., the numb...

JHVEPhoto/iStock Editorial via Getty Images Stryker ( SYK ) shares ended a seven-day decline on Thursday after Bloomberg reported that the U.S. MedTech firm has restored most of its manufacturing operations following a cyberattack that disrupted its global systems earlier this month. “Manufacturing capability is quickly ramping with most of our sites and critical lines restored." Stryker ( SYK ) said in an emailed statement. Shares of the surgical equipment maker fell sharply on Mar. 11 after news of the cyberattack for which Handala, a pro-Palestinian hacking group, claimed responsibility. The incident disrupted its information systems and business applications, running on Microsoft’s ( MSFT ) Windows operating systems, impacting order processing, manufacturing, and shipping. Healthcare providers were forced to delay surgical procedures involving Stryker ( SYK ) products as the company struggled to fulfill orders. Michigan-based Stryker ( SYK ), with a nearly 56,000-strong global workforce, is a leading manufacturer of surgical robots, orthopedic equipment, and implants.

andresr/E+ via Getty Images PDD Holdings Inc. ( PDD ) missed earnings and revenue estimates on Thursday amid growing competition in the Chinese e-Commerce market and heavy investments into its core business. Nonetheless, PDD Holdings, which is also known as Pinduoduo in China, expanded its business, especially in Transaction Services which consolidates results from Temu, PDD Holdings' highly successful shopping platform for foreign buyers. Further, PDD Holdings is focused on utilizing AI in its e-Commerce segment which has the potential to boost engagement and conversions in the long term. While the Chinese e-Commerce market is competitive and Pinduoduo fell short of analyst expectations in Q4'25, the company is very profitable and has an opportunity to drastically ramp up its operating income in FY 2026. I like the investment setup for PDD Holdings, especially the firm’s low valuation based off of earnings, and continue to recommend Pinduoduo as a strong buy for investors seeing the long-term growth potential of the Chinese retail market. Data by YCharts Previous Rating I rated shares of PDD Holdings a strong buy in my last work -- My Top E-Com Pick For 2026 -- due to strong growth projections for the Chinese economy for 2026 as well as robust core earnings power of the Pinduoduo e-Commerce platform. In the fourth quarter, PDD Holdings grew its Transaction Services segment almost 4X faster than its Online Marketing Services. PDD Holdings remains a compelling growth play on China's growth, especially in the retail segment, and I see a very favorable investment setup given Pinduoduo's low valuation factor. Pinduoduo Missed Q4'25 Estimates PDD Holdings missed top and bottom line estimates by a considerable margin on Wednesday: the e-Commerce platform reported non-GAAP earnings of $2.56 per share, falling short of the average prediction by $0.49 per share, mainly due to higher investments. Revenues reached $17.96B, missing the top-line expectation by $155.8M. Seeking A...

Meituan released its fourth-quarter and full-year 2025 earnings report on the evening of March 26. Photo: VCG Chinese food delivery giant Meituan swung to a staggering net loss of 23.4 billion yuan ($3.4 billion) in 2025, reversing a profit from the previous year as a blistering domestic price war and aggressive overseas expansion took a heavy toll on its bottom line. The results highlight the rising cost of defending market share in China’s crowded delivery market and the risks Chinese internet companies face as they push into new markets for growth.

bymuratdeniz Chewy ( CHWY ) and Constellation Energy ( CEG ) represent notable positive shifts, with analysts citing mispriced growth and renewed buying opportunities following recent market corrections. IWA Research and Blake Winiecki highlight improving fundamentals and long-term power demand as key drivers for these optimistic outlooks. On the other hand, Micron ( MU ) and Concentrix ( CNXC ) have faced downgrades as analysts become more cautious about current valuations. Upgrades Chewy ( CHWY ): Upgrade Hold to Buy by IWA Research . The analyst believes the stock is significantly mispriced relative to its improving fundamentals and strong guidance for 2026. “I’m upgrading Chewy to a Buy, with the stock now trading at a significant discount and offering a great margin of safety, standing to benefit from several macro tailwinds and a solid financial position.” Constellation Energy Corporation ( CEG ): Upgrade to Buy by Blake Winiecki . Despite recent price volatility, the analyst views the company as a dominant player in the nuclear sector perfectly positioned for the AI-driven data center expansion. “I think the time has returned again as a buy scenario for CEG. Some fundamentals are still lagging a bit, and that would be my biggest concern for the moment. But the stock has corrected over 25% from its high this past fall and is surrounded by a plethora of promising and exciting news, including the recent possible NVDA partnership, as well as some secured long-term contracts with other huge data center players.” Downgrades Concentrix Corporation ( CNXC ): Downgrade to Hold by Agar Capital . The analyst notes that while the stock appears cheap, the company faces significant execution risks and margin pressure during its transition to AI-driven solutions. “I am not suggesting that CNXC inherently deserves to be worth significantly more than its current valuation. Instead, I am arguing that at these multiples, the marketplace has already incorporated an extreme degre...
