Dmitry Vinogradov Immunic ( IMUX ) shares rose on Tuesday after Guggenheim launched its coverage with a Buy recommendation and a $7 target, citing the potential of its lead asset, vidofludimus calcium, designed to treat multiple sclerosis, a disorder of the central nervous system. Analyst Yatin Suneja argued that vidofludimus has a dual mechanism of action targeting two key unmet needs of relapsing and progressive MS: relapse-associated worsening and progression independent of relapse activity (PIRA). Suneja added that two large Phase 2 trials for vidofludimus in RMS and PMS have clinically de-risked the candidate, which he said also indicated a placebo-like safety profile with no liver toxicity, infection, or monitoring burdens. The analyst projects nearly $1B and $2B in peak global sales for vidofludimus in RMS and PPMS, respectively. He argued that Immunic ( IMUX ), with a roughly $800M market cap, has sizable upside potential if Vido’s "differentiated efficacy and best-in-disease safety" are confirmed in late-stage trials.

The final nine months of Mullin's term will now be filled by Armstrong, who is prohibited from running for a full term this fall under Oklahoma law. Stitt said the appointment is in line with the Trump administration's goals in energy policy, and Armstrong focused on permitting reform, the cost of energy, and infrastructure in his first remarks following his selection, saying the U.S. is "falling behind on being the leaders of infrastructure. It is critical to our country's competitiveness in the long term."

Aleksandra Malysheva/iStock via Getty Images Circle Internet ( CRCL ) slid 18% in Tuesday midday trading after a media report indicated that the latest version of the Clarity Act in Congress narrowly limits rewards on stablecoins. The legislation is critical for Circle as it operates a platform, network, and market infrastructure for stablecoin and blockchain applications. The company's digital assets and services business includes USDC ( USDC-USD ), EURC, and USYC. The legislation, intended to flesh out the GENIUS Act that was passed last year, has been stalled, in part, by the clash between the banking and crypto industries over stablecoin yields. Banks staunchly oppose rewards tied to stablecoins, arguing that they'll suffer massive deposit drawdowns, reducing their ability to lend. The latest draft of the Clarity Act would allow stablecoin rewards programs on a narrow basis, as long as they don't resemble interest from bank deposits, CoinDesk reported on Tuesday, citing a person familiar with the current draft. The revised section of the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act is a compromise that would allow rewards on users' stablecoin activities, but not balances, the report said. Another sticking point is the final approach to decentralized finance oversight, an area of concern for Democrats who want to ensure it contains rigorous measures to prevent DeFi from being used to finance illicit activities. Democrats are also demanding a ban on senior government officials profiting personally from the crypto industry, CoinDesk said .

The company behind a $4.75 billion data-center cooling deal said demand for its services will keep growing even if the buildout of artificial intelligence infrastructure slows down. Ecolab Inc. , which agreed last week to buy CoolIT Systems Inc. from funds managed by KKR & Co., expects revenue in its data center business to keep growing at least 20% a year “for the foreseeable future,” said Josh Magnuson , the company’s general manager for global water solutions. That’s because demand for computing power keeps going up and older facilities will need to be overhauled to meet the needs of newer chip models, he said. The AI boom has fueled huge investments in infrastructure and boosted valuations of some tech companies into the trillions of dollars. While the technology is improving and gaining traction with businesses and consumers, it’s still unclear what the return on investment will be. “If there’s an AI bubble or not, I don’t think it matters,” Magnuson said in an interview at Bloomberg’s Chicago office. “Whether it’s a AI bubble or a lot of little bubbles that pop, the overall demand curve is going to continue to move forward regardless.” Data centers are the fastest-growing business for Ecolab, a $74 billion company that helps customers optimize their water use across a variety of industries. The deal for CoolIT is the company’s biggest in over a decade. The purchase price is more than 17 times what KKR paid just three years ago — a premium that highlights surging demand for cooling systems in data centers. Read More: Bubble or Bonanza? Where AI Goes From Here: Explainer St. Paul, Minnesota-based Ecolab is positioning itself as a global leader in liquid cooling, which is steadily replacing air-powered systems as the technology of choice for data centers because it’s more energy efficient. While just 5% of data centers now use liquid cooling, Magnuson expects that to increase over the next decade because newer chips require more power and can’t be kept cool enoug...

There are, of course, crunch playoffs for the Geopolitics World Cup – if anyone actually wants to be there – in Europe and over in Mexico. But for the rest, this is a chance to rip up the rulebook and play whoever the hell they like. Those heading to North America in the summer have to keep things semi-serious. England have got Wembley friendlies against Uruguay and Japan. Fine. Brazil are in the USA USA USA to play France and Croatia. Check. The defending champions, Argentina, had their Finalissima against Spain in Qatar cancelled because of the threat of rogue missiles and have scheduled friendlies against anyone that was available, namely Mauritania (115th in the world) and Zambia (a lofty 91st). Spain clearly had a better agent and have booked Serbia and Egypt. But these are a mere sideshow to the Fifa Series 2026, a set of village fetes dotted across the globe, pitting nations from different continents against each other in four-team tournaments.

GarryKillian/iStock via Getty Images Germany’s proposal to build a €10 billion ($11.6 billion) military satellite network is drawing criticism from European lawmakers who worry it could duplicate existing efforts and weaken broader defense coordination across the EU, Reuters reported Tuesday. The initiative, involving companies such as Rheinmetall ( RNMBF )( RNMBY ), OHB ( OHBTF ) and Airbus ( EADSF ) ( EADSY ), would operate separately from the EU’s IRIS² program, a €10.6 billion project designed to create a shared satellite communications system for member states. While Berlin argues its system would meet specific military needs, critics say running parallel networks risks inefficiency and fragmentation. Germany’s plan envisions a constellation of about 100 low-Earth-orbit satellites focused on secure military communications. By comparison, IRIS² aims to deploy nearly 300 satellites by 2029, combining defense and commercial uses. Analysts note both systems would resemble SpaceX’s ( SPACE ) Starshield model, though still far smaller than Starlink’s global network. The debate highlights a broader tension between national sovereignty and collective European defense goals. Some lawmakers warn that separate systems could lead to higher costs and reduced strategic impact, particularly as Europe reassesses its security posture amid shifting U.S. support and ongoing geopolitical threats. Questions are also being raised about affordability and efficiency. Critics argue that taxpayers could end up funding overlapping capabilities, while smaller standalone systems may struggle with coverage and scalability. Supporters of Germany’s approach counter that redundancy is essential in modern warfare, where satellites are increasingly vulnerable to disruption or attack. They also argue that a nationally controlled system would provide greater reliability for defense operations. Meanwhile, the EU continues to promote IRIS² as a way to pool resources and accelerate technological deve...

Savusia Konstantin Epic Games, the maker of the popular Fortnite game, said Tuesday it is laying off over 1,000 employees, citing a downturn in engagement of its flagship title. Impacted employees will receive a severance package that includes at least four months of base pay, with more based on tenure, the company said. "This layoff, together with over $500 million of identified cost savings in contracting, marketing, and closing some open roles, puts us in a more stable place," the company said in an email to employees. The company noted that slower growth, weaker spending, and tougher cost economics are also among reasons for slashing the workforce and specifically highlighted that the cuts weren't AI-related.
