After spending the last couple of weeks discussing the problem , Formula 1's stakeholders have arrived at a number of solutions to the sport's hybrid energy problem. F1 started this year with all-new powertrains with much more powerful electric motors than ever before, but with batteries that can only send full power to those motors for a few seconds a lap. Once exhausted, the power halves until there's more charge in the battery. In qualifying this ruins the show , as the fastest lap is no longer a flat-out one; in the race it can create dangerous speed differentials with other cars that still have charge in their battery. The new rules, which go into effect from the Miami Grand Prix (May 1–3), reduce the maximum energy you can recharge per lap. The battery holds 4 MJ, and in the past few races, each driver has been allowed to recharge and then use up to 8 MJ per lap to power the electric motor that supplements the turbocharged V6 engine. Recharging is done through a mixture of regenerative braking and what the sport calls "super clipping," using the engine to power the electric motor as a generator to charge the battery. The problem is that every kW that gets super-clipped from the engine is a kW that isn't going to the rear wheels, creating speed differentials of up to 70 km/h (43 mph). And without an electric motor at the front axle, the cars can only harvest a few MJ via regenerative braking each lap. Read full article Comments

Andrii Dodonov Shares of Kyverna Therapeutics ( KYTX ) rose on Monday after the company announced long-term follow-up data from a pivotal trial for its lead asset, miv-cel, in generalized myasthenia gravis, an autoimmune neuromuscular disorder. Citing a Feb. 25 data cut, the Emeryville, California-based biotech said that miv-cel in a Phase 2 portion of its registrational KYSA-6 trial led to deeper clinical responses compared to a prior interim analysis. The single-arm trial is designed to evaluate the CAR T-cell therapy in gMG patients, with the 24-week Myasthenia Gravis Activities of Daily Living (MG-ADL) score being one of its primary endpoints and the Quantitative Myasthenia Gravis (QMG) score being a secondary endpoint. According to the company, all patients witnessed reductions in MG-ADL and QMG scores with a clinically meaningful effect from baseline, which indicates a minimum reduction of two points or three points in MG-ADL and QMG scores, respectively. Average reductions of MG-ADL and QMG scores reached 8.5 and 11.3 points in Week 24, respectively, Kyverna ( KYTX ) stated, adding that the results back its Phase 3 portion of the trial, which is designed to measure MG-ADL and QMG scores as co-primary endpoints. As for tolerability, the company noted that miv-cel, a one-time therapy, showed a well-tolerated safety profile, which could support its potential to be administered in outpatient facilities.

Spirit Aviation Holdings Inc. has floated offering the US government an equity stake in the discount carrier to help stave off its potential liquidation, according to people familiar with the matter. The airline is seeking an infusion of cash from the US government during a spike in jet fuel prices, said the people, who asked not to be named given the discussions are confidential. The proposal comes after the White House brokered a deal last year to become one of the biggest shareholders in Intel Corp. in a bid to bolster the investment-grade chipmaker’s domestic initiatives. The Air Current first reported that Spirit is seeking a bailout from the US government. Read more: Spirit Airlines at Risk of Liquidation as Fuel Costs Bite Any proposed bailout is likely to get pushback from competitors that are also struggling with a spike in jet fuel prices during the conflict in the Middle East, some of the people said. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy plans to meet with low-cost airline chief executives this week to discuss their challenges, the people said. The Transportation Department is monitoring the situation surrounding Spirit, a spokesperson said. Spirit representatives didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment. Spirit was poised to exit bankruptcy by this summer after reaching an agreement with creditors on a plan to trim billions of dollars in debt and reduce the cost of its fleet. The carrier filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in August 2025 — the second time it had to do so in under a year. Spirit’s past attempts to merge with other carriers haven’t panned out. Before filing its first bankruptcy, the carrier agreed to be acquired by JetBlue Airways Corp. , but a federal judge blocked the tie-up in 2024 on antitrust grounds. Then, Frontier Group Holdings Inc. and Spirit revived talks to merge in 2025.

Oil prices could rise to $110 per barrel if traffic in the Strait of Hormuz remains disrupted for another month, according to Citigroup. Global crude and product inventory losses from the US war on Iran could rise to an estimated 1.3 billion barrels should the vital shipping route remain blocked for another four weeks, the firm said. Even if a ceasefire extension is signed this week and shipping through the strait, along with production, gradually resumes through May, total global crude and product inventories are expected to decline by roughly 900 million barrels. That consists of 500 million barrels already lost and another 400 million of anticipated losses stemming from ramp-up delays and conflict-related damages. Another two-month disruption of Hormuz, however, could take approximately 1.7 billion barrels offline and push prices to $130 a barrel, according to Citi. But even if the conflict ends this week, Citi predicts global crude and fuel inventories will reach their lowest levels in eight years by the end of June. Rebuilding those stockpiles would likely take more than two years, assuming a rapid return to a one million barrels a day surplus market post-conflict, the firm said. Read More: Hormuz Flows at Standstill as US Vessel Seizure Deepens Risk The bank predicts that a preliminary agreement between Iran and the US will be signed or the ceasefire will be extended this week, and that could turn into a more comprehensive deal. “That said, we remain prepared to pivot toward a more protracted disruption scenario should negotiations falter,” Citigroup analysts led by Max Layton wrote in a note. Oil prices are up 5% to trade above $95 a barrel in New York on Monday after US President Donald Trump said that it’s “highly unlikely” he would extend a ceasefire and that the strait would remain blocked until an agreement is finalized. The on-going energy crisis has triggered an unprecedented supply shock, intensifying inflationary pressures and weighing on worldwide e...

RobsonPL Goldman Sachs said its bullish view on Philip Morris International ( PM ) was reinforced by the company's new report segmentation. The company scrapped its old four-region setup and will now report across the distinct business segments of International Smoke‑Free, International Combustibles, and U.S. The reporting change starts with the Q1 earnings report due out this week, and Philip Morris ( PM ) will recast earnings back to 2023 for comparability. In addition, Philip Morris ( PM ) has pulled certain FX and equity‑comp expense items into a new "Corporate expenses and other" line, slightly shifting segment margins but not total earnings. Analyst Bonnie Herzog thinks the new reporting segmentation will help give investors greater visibility into the sales and earnings growth upside as the company continues to transform into a smoke-free business. The firm sees continued upside in the U.S. for Philip Morris ( PM ), which will ultimately be the company's largest and most profitable market. Herzog and her team updated EPS estimates up slightly on PM while maintaining the Buy rating and 12-month price target of $205. "We continue to see a pathway for strong top- and bottom-line growth over the next several years, given the compounding effect of IQOS and opportunities with ZYN. To put it simply, there aren't many Staples companies right now delivering (and guiding) mid- to high single-digit dollar topline growth, with volume and impressive DD dollar EPS growth," advised Herzog. "Ultimately, PM is transforming into a faster-growing and more profitable business - an earnings compounder with an attractive valuation," she added. Philip Morris ( PM ) will issue its first-quarter earnings report on April 22 before the market opens.

Scott Olson/Getty Images News Bayer ( BAYZF ) ( BAYRY ) is confronting a pivotal moment in its long-running Roundup litigation as thousands of plaintiffs decide whether to accept a proposed $7.5 billion settlement or continue pursuing individual lawsuits, a choice that could shape the company’s future legal exposure, The Wall Street Journal reported Monday. The German pharmaceutical and agriculture group has spent years trying to contain claims that Roundup weedkiller caused cancer, allegations Bayer denies. The company says the product is safe and supported by regulatory reviews. A Missouri judge gave preliminary approval in March to the latest settlement framework, which would raise Bayer’s ( BAYZF ) ( BAYRY ) total Roundup-related costs to roughly $22 billion. For investors, the outcome is significant because Bayer ( BAYZF ) ( BAYRY ) needs broad participation in the settlement to reduce uncertainty that has weighed on its valuation since the 2018 Monsanto acquisition. If too many claimants opt out, Bayer ( BAYZF ) ( BAYRY ) may remain exposed to years of costly litigation, and management has already said it could consider other options, including restructuring measures such as bankruptcy-related strategies. The company is also awaiting a U.S. Supreme Court hearing on April 27 in a case that could narrow future claims. A favorable ruling for Bayer ( BAYZF ) ( BAYRY ) could lead to dismissal of many pending lawsuits and strengthen its negotiating position. Some plaintiffs’ lawyers have criticized the settlement as inadequate, while others argue accepting compensation now may be less risky than trial, where Bayer ( BAYZF ) ( BAYRY ) has won a majority of completed Roundup cases to date.

Tom Williams | CQ-Roll Call, Inc. | Getty Images A White House executive order on psychedelics, signed by President Donald Trump on Saturday, aims to speed up research on drugs like psilocybin, MDMA and ibogaine, helping to legitimize an industry that's long lived largely underground. But it also raises a broader question: Will psychedelics fall victim, like cannabis has, to a slow-moving federal process? The latest executive order comes roughly four months after an effort by President Donald Trump to reschedule cannabis, opening the door to greater research and investment opportunities. But since that directive, progress to reclassify cannabis has largely stalled, with the Drug Enforcement Administration review still ongoing and no final decision on moving marijuana from Schedule I to the lesser Schedule III. The delay reflects how drug policy often slows once it enters interagency review, where scientific evaluation, legal standards and politics meet. "The process has certainly been slow and frustrating for stakeholders when you consider they have spent decades fighting marijuana's outrageous 1970s-era misclassification," said Shawn Hauser, partner at cannabis law firm Vicente LLP. Vicente LLP also serves as legal counsel for the National Compassionate Care Council (NCCC), a coalition of healthcare stakeholders focused on evidence-based cannabis policy. The psychedelics order, however, focuses on research acceleration rather than legalization. It directs agencies like the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to expand clinical trials and "Right to Try" access for patients with serious mental health conditions, while leaving drug scheduling unchanged. AtaiBeckley is among a number of psychedeli...
