Neuvasq Biotechnologies recently announced the presentation of new preclinical data demonstrating the therapeutic potential of targeting the Wnt co-receptors Gpr124 and Lrp6 to treat vascular retinopathies. This research was delivered at the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology (ARVO) 2026 Annual Meeting in Denver, Colorado. Let’s start with the company. Founded in 2021, Neuvasq is a biotechnology company advancing first-in-class Gpr124- and Reck-targeting antibodies designed to repair neurovascular dysfunction in patients with retinal vascular diseases. Its background: The company is actually a spin-off from the Université libre de Bruxelles by molecular biologist Benoît Vanhollebeke PhD, whose research identified the role of Gpr124 and Reck in mediating Wnt7a/b signaling—specifically in the central nervous system (CNS). Side note: Neuvasq is also working on a second preclinical program focused on Wnt surrogate antibodies for neurological diseases like epilepsy and seizures and dementia. And this novel antibody approach? These next-generation multispecific antibody-based therapies target the Wnt/beta-catenin pathway to support the maintenance and repair of the blood-retina barrier (BRB), with the potential to slow, halt, prevent, or even reverse vision loss in retinal vascular diseases such as: Diabetic macular edema (DME) Wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD) Give me some relevant background on CNS biology. The CNS is a tightly controlled environment where specialized endothelial cells restrict the exchange of substances between the blood and CNS tissue (the brain, neural retina, and spinal cord). Blood-CNS barriers include the BRB enabling normal vision and the blood-brain barrier (BBB) favoring normal neurological function. And the BRB? BRB formation and maintenance are regulated by the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway, and in endothelial cells of the CNS, this pathway is primarily activated by Wnt7a/b and Norrin ligands. Plus: Wnt7a/b signal...

The White House’s decision to take a 9.9% stake in Intel Corp. is looking like very shrewd business indeed. Since the government bought in at $20.47 a share last August , the American chipmaker’s surging stock price has delivered the US a $43 billion return. One of the reasons the investment has so far proved so sound is that the White House has made sure of it. According to The Wall Street Journal, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick personally pushed deals on Intel’s behalf with some of the most lucrative clients you could think of. They include Nvidia Corp., the company at the heart of the AI revolution; SpaceX, which would like to be; and now, reportedly, Apple Inc. — a crown jewel client that would be the firmest stamp of approval yet on the Intel turnaround project. Under the “preliminary” deal, the Journal reported, Intel’s foundry business would handle some of Apple’s chip needs, though for which products has not been confirmed. TF International Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, a longtime observer of Apple’s supply chain, wrote earlier this month that Apple had “kicked off low-end/legacy iPhone, iPad, and Mac” chip manufacturing with Intel. The two companies have worked together before, of course. Intel used to be Apple’s chip supplier for Macs before Apple announced in 2020 that it would fare better by designing its own chips and then having Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC) make them. Analysts point to this move to “Apple Silicon” as foundational to its sustained success with hardware, allowing it to achieve greater cost and performance efficiencies. Consumers feel it when they use Apple products in concert with one another — the vertical integration of hardware and software is what has given Apple its edge. Apple’s preference would have been to keep things humming along like this, but the AI revolution had other ideas. Even with its vast riches and influence, the iPhone maker hasn’t been insulated from choked supply chains. In Apple’s earnings c...

Welcome to Bloomberg’s AI Today newsletter. Every weekday we’ll break down artificial intelligence’s threats and opportunities for businesses, workers, finance and economies. Sign up now if you’re not already on the list. Up first Every detail of how Pope XIV dropped his first encyclical on artificial intelligence was designed for maximum impact. For one, letters to bishops aren’t usually the length of a novella, nor are encyclicals typically presented in person. For the first time, 1.4 billion Catholics could watch the pope’s televised address, produced with a backdrop including videos of the Industrial Revolution, the era his namesake Leo navigated. But he was aiming his “Magnifica Humanitas” instead at decision makers from tech titans to governments. If one were to distill the 42,300-word document — which reads more like a prescriptive policy paper — into one word, it would be: disarm. Teased out over several days and weeks, the Vatican built up momentum ahead of the big, leak-less reveal. There was just a sense that the pope would be calling on the world’s leaders to step up regulation of rapidly-evolving technology that’s reshaping lives in ways difficult to predict, or adapt to quickly enough. The surprise was more in what form the warning would take. Would it be chiding in tone? No. Leo’s approach, which revealed his facility for math and algorithms, wasn’t that of a Luddite opposing progress. “Technology in and of itself is not a solution to humanity’s problems just as it is not inherently evil,” he wrote. “In practice, however, technology is never neutral, because it takes on the characteristics of those who devise, finance, regulate and use it.” Yes, he called for the protection of workers whose jobs could become obsolete. And he sounded the alarm on the proliferation of disturbing AI-generated images that are damaging children. Most notably, he was clear that the monopoly over AI had to be broken up. “When such power is concentrated in the hands of a few,...

primeimages/iStock via Getty Images By James Picerno Market volatility doesn’t just rattle markets - it rattles investors, which in turn exposes behavioral risk. When markets lurch and headlines turn chaotic, that’s when dormant biases like loss aversion , herding , and overconfidence can surge to the surface and quietly steer investors toward costly decisions. In a previous essay , we outlined several steps for reviewing your portfolio strategy when market volatility spikes. That discussion assumed a rational, cool‑headed investor - an assumption that may be too generous at times, especially during market downturns. As a complement, let’s consider the behavioral dimension during periods of market turbulence, focusing on the key risks to be aware of. There are many behavioral-related hazards, but five stand out as especially dangerous during market corrections and bear markets. Maintaining discipline during elevated financial stress - and resisting emotionally driven decisions that can derail long‑term goals - is never easy, but it’s always essential. The research is clear: the costliest mistakes happen when emotions masquerade as insight. In that sense, volatility doesn’t cause those errors - it reveals them. It’s also fair to say that behavioral risk in investing is a persistent challenge. Markets evolve, but human nature is remarkably consistent, as a recent study suggests (" Behavioral Finance in the Sphere of Investment "). The analysis reviewed 30 studies published between 2020 and 2025 that examined behavioral finance and its influence on investment choices. “The results indicate that investor psychology continues to play a dominant role in financial decision-making, with biases shaping investment behaviors across different economic and technological contexts,” the authors report. The first step in playing defense is recognizing the behavioral traps that can surface in turbulent periods. Here are five to keep on your radar. Loss Aversion (The Pain of Drastic ...

During the depths of the Great Recession in 2009, Warren Buffett said: "Every decade or so, dark clouds will fill the economic skies, and they will briefly rain gold. When downpours of that sort occur, it's imperative that we rush outdoors carrying washtubs, not teaspoons." In other words, market crashes should be seen as great opportunities to buy the best stocks at discounted prices. If that happens, I'd scoop up more shares of Walmart (WMT 0.88%), Realty Income (O 0.14%), and Philip Morris International (PM +0.28%) without any hesitation. Walmart is an evergreen retailer Walmart, the world's largest brick-and-mortar retailer with over 10,800 stores and clubs across 19 countries, has raised its dividend for 53 consecutive years. Its forward yield of 0.8% might seem low today, partly because its stock has soared 155% over the past five years, but it has consistently raised its payout through wars, recessions, and other economic downturns.

Walmart also expanded overseas, opened more Sam's Club stores to compete against Costco, and even launched its own advertising business across its physical stores, mobile app, and connected TVs. All of those efforts kept Walmart relevant as the retail sector faced seismic shifts in consumer spending and other existential challenges.

See the stocks » So when the market drops across the board, it's a fantastic buying opportunity. And I can't say if we're approaching another major dip or not, but what I can tell you are the three stocks you should consider scooping up the next time the market sinks like a rock. 1. The hardware kingpin Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) needs no introduction. The company was perhaps the stock market story of 2025 when it broke past the $5 trillion valuation mark late last year. The company controls about 92% of the graphics processing unit (GPU) market as of the end of 2025. Its closest rivals, Advanced Micro Devices and Intel, hold single digit shares of that market. All of Wall Street watches with bated breath every time Nvidia releases earnings and it's still growing at an explosive rate. As of the its latest report (Q3 2025), the company's quarterly revenue grew 62% year over year to $57 billion and its diluted earnings per share (EPS) shot up 67%. Nvidia has built a tech hardware empire that is so fundamentally strong that it would be worth a look if the broader market drags it down to discount prices. 2. The world's general store Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) is another company I'm sure you've heard of. And even though it slightly missed earnings expectations for Q4 2025, all that d...

European Gas Storage Can't Survive 3 More Months Of Hormuz Authored by Alex Kimani via OilPrice.com, Europe risks a major gas storage shortfall if disruptions through the Strait of Hormuz continue for another 1–3 months, with inventories still far below normal seasonal levels. LNG supply disruptions, strong Asian demand, and distorted gas pricing have made refilling storage unusually difficult and expensive across the EU. Equinor warns prolonged disruptions could push Dutch TTF gas prices toward €90/MWh, forcing industrial demand destruction and fuel switching across Europe. Europe could face a critical shortfall in natural gas stocks if shipping disruptions through the Strait of Hormuz persist for another 1-3 months, senior executives at Norwegian energy giant, Equinor ASA (NYSE:EQNR), have warned. Europe entered the current summer refill season with severely depleted gas reserves, with gas stores only 28% full following a prolonged winter. Europe’s storage levels are currently at 35-37%, significantly below the 50% seasonal norm, increasing the risk that the continent will miss its usual 90% target at the beginning of the next winter heating season. The European Union requires member states to maintain robust storage fill levels, typically targeting an 80% to 90% capacity by early winter. A combination of factors has made filling Europe's largest storage hubs a daunting task heading into the latter half of the year. First off, heavy withdrawals during winter, driven by peak household heating, coupled with a spike in industrial power demand, depressed natural gas storage levels in Northwest Europe to below 30%, roughly double the EU's overall storage deficit . Gas levels in the Netherlands, Germany, and France fell to critically low levels before spring even began: Dutch reserves plunged to just 5.8% by the end of winter, marking the lowest level in a decade; storage levels in Germany dipped to ~20% while those in France hovered around 27% by the time spring kicked...

As has become the norm, the artificial intelligence (AI) chip giant Nvidia (NVDA 1.86%) recently reported strong earnings for the first quarter of its fiscal 2027. The company reported adjusted earnings and revenue ahead of Wall Street estimates and also provided a current-quarter revenue outlook well ahead of analysts' expectations. However, the unexpected part of the quarter came when Nvidia Chief Executive Officer Jensen Huang, on the earnings conference call, announced that the company is making a big move in central processing units (CPU) and is expecting a strong year of revenue from the division, as well as a new total addressable market. Did Nvidia just say "checkmate" to Intel and Advanced Micro Devices? CPUs are now a big part of the AI story, and Nvidia isn't sitting on its laurels In recent years, one of the big parts of the AI story, particularly as it relates to Nvidia, has been graphics processing units (GPUs), chips that are vital for training large language models (LLMs) and which are deployed in data centers specifically designed to run AI solutions. GPUs have parallel processing capabilities and can therefore process much more data and consider many more solutions to a problem than CPUs. Nobody makes GPUs better than Nvidia, which has at least 80% of the market. Furthermore, Nvidia's software layer for its GPUs, called CUDA (compute unified device architecture), was released in 2006, and Nvidia has built a strong ecosystem many companies and developers have become accustomed to. This makes switching away from this operating system difficult and is part of the reason Nvidia currently has such a strong competitive moat.

M. Suhail/iStock Editorial via Getty Images Advance Auto Parts ( AAP ) reported earnings recently with a clear top and bottom line beat. Since I last reported on it here on Seeking Alpha, A dvance Auto Parts: Balance Sheet Stress And Market Share Losses , the stock had underperformed the S&P 500 by nearly 15% coming into the report date and that's just since April 21, only a month of trading. With results coming in better against low expectations, the stock clawed nearly all of that back, finishing the day up over 14%. What I think this earnings report did was really highlight just how negative the investment community is on Advance Auto, and rightly so in my opinion, as shorts got squeezed. I think the path from here is tougher for the company, especially as QTD trends sound rather uncertain and there are questions as to why guidance was not raised despite the magnitude of the beat. Key Takeaways The company beat on both top and bottom line. Sales came in at $2.6 billion versus street at $2.57 billion and adjusted EPS beat at $0.77 versus street at $0.44. Sales results were the best in quite some time. Comp store sales were up 3.5%, driven by mid-single digit growth in Pro and low-single digit growth in DIY. It is not surprising to see Pro outperform DIY as this is generally the case for the industry right now given consumer wallet pressures and price pass through on the Pro side still annualizing as a result of tariffs last year. These sales results were able to happen even as the company had a 2 point headwind from $51 million of liquidation sales y/y. The quarter was aided by weather, particularly the Northeast storms. Given that auto aftermarket is focused on break/fix types of use cases, heavy storms that are above seasonal norms can cause significantly more volume. Guidance was maintained on the top line with revenue at $8.48-$8.57 billion. Comp store sales naturally remained constant with this reaffirmed revenue guide at 1-2% for the year.

AAPL CEO shift: Can Ternus close Apple’s innovation gap? Apple is handing the keys to its $4.55 trillion machine to a hardware chief. Tim Cook will step down as CEO on Sept. 1, become Executive Chairman, and John Ternus, senior vice president of hardware engineering, will take over. Apple shares barely budged on the news, trading around $308.82 as of May 26. That’s a vote of confidence in the handoff—and a reminder that the market expects continuity. But with WWDC weeks away and a new chief set to shape the next decade, investors want more than stability. They want a plan to close the innovation gap. Market reaction and the Cook premium Apple has been here before. The company staged a disciplined succession process, teed up Cook in 2011, and then scaled to heights no tech firm had touched. Under Cook, revenue quadrupled to more than $416 billion by fiscal 2025, and the market cap swelled from roughly $350 billion to over $4 trillion. The stock’s muted response to his exit timeline suggests the Cook premium is already in the price—investors see continuity in his Executive Chairman role, an experienced bench, and a culture that prizes methodical execution over drama. But continuity cuts both ways. The multiple on AAPL reflects immense cash generation and the iPhone-Services flywheel. For it to expand, Apple needs a credible update to its growth story that isn’t just richer services attached to a flat device base. The innovation gap investors are betting on Apple’s challenge isn’t that it stopped shipping products. It’s that the bar is higher now. AirPods and Apple Watch created multibillion-dollar franchises. Vision Pro is a high-end stake in spatial computing. Yet none has reset the company’s growth curve like the iPhone did. Meanwhile, the broader market—turbocharged by AI narratives—has rewarded companies that look like they’re inventing the future in public. Apple’s strategy has favored deferred gratification: patient development cycles, vertical integration, and ...

(RTTNews) - German stocks fell on Tuesday as oil prices rose amid fresh strikes by the U.S. military against Iranian targets. Fears of possible interest rate hikes by the European Central Bank next month hurt as well. The U.S. conducted 'self-defense strikes' on Iranian missile launch sites and boats near the Strait of Hormuz, clouding the outlook for an interim deal between Washington and Tehran. Meanwhile, Israeli military has begun a wave of strikes against Hezbollah in the Bekaa Vally in the east of Lebanon and other parts of the country following an announcement by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that his country will intensify its attacks on Hezbollah. Defense forces across the Gulf are on high alert as Iran pressed ahead with waves of missile and drone attacks on the UAE, Kuwait and Bahrain. The ECB should raise interest rates in June even if there's a quick resolution to the Middle East conflict, ECB Executive Board member Isabel Schnabel said today. "Even if the war ended today, a lot of damage has already been done to energy infrastructure and global supply chains," she said in an interview published on the ECB's website. Germany's benchmark DAX, which fell to 25,174.75 earlier, was down 139.93 points or 0.55% at 25,254.00 nearly half an hour past noon. Scout24 and MTU Aero Engines dropped 2.5% and 2.3%, respectively. Merck drifted down 1.7%. Bayer, Infineon Technologies, Siemens Energy, Siemens Healthineers, Siemens, Adidas and SAP lost 1%-1.5%.
