The portfolio consists of eight drug candidates originating from Innovent Biologics and four discovery programmes proposed by Pfizer. Credit: Jonathan Weiss / Shutterstock.com. Pfizer and Innovent Biologics have signed a global licensing and collaboration agreement worth up to $10.5bn for the research and development of a portfolio of 12 early-stage cancer medications. The agreement covers antibody-drug conjugates with new payloads and multi-specific antibodies featuring distinct immune-engaging mechanisms. The portfolio consists of eight drug candidates originating from Innovent Biologics and four discovery programmes proposed by Pfizer. Both companies will co-develop and share costs for selected programmes as they progress through clinical development. Innovent Biologics is set to lead development through Phase I using its proprietary discovery capabilities. After this initial stage, Pfizer will assume responsibility for global development activities. Licensing and commercial terms specify that Pfizer will receive exclusive global rights to four of the medicines, along with responsibility for worldwide development costs. For another four drugs, Pfizer will have exclusive rights outside Greater China and will cover most of the development expenses. The remaining four programmes will be co-developed worldwide, with both companies sharing development costs, co-commercialising products in the US and Europe, and dividing profits. Innovent Biologics will maintain rights in Greater China for these co-developed assets. Under the financial agreement, Innovent Biologics will receive an upfront payment of $650m. The company may also be eligible for up to $9.85bn in development, regulatory, and commercial milestone payments. Royalties of up to double-digit percentages on product sales could be paid to Innovent for each licensed product, should regulatory approvals be granted. Profit sharing between the companies will apply to the co-developed and co-commercialised programmes ...

Tesla (TSLA +0.42%) has not performed well this year. The stock is down 1% as of writing, while the S&P 500 has climbed 10%. Although Tesla's first-quarter results released on April 22 were pretty good on the surface -- revenue jumped 16% year over year to $22.4 billion, even amid the electric vehicle (EV) industry losing ground in the U.S. -- investors are concerned about Tesla's runaway spending. The company now projects capex spending for 2026 to be over $25 billion, above its previous guidance of $20 billion. There is skepticism regarding whether Tesla can justify these investments, especially given that the stock trades at 208x forward earnings, a multiple that assumes near-perfect execution. But what if Tesla does show that the spending is warranted? The company might do so by year-end, and if it does, its share price could soar. Here's what investors should know. Will Optimus Gen 3 impress? Tesla commands such high valuation multiples because it is looking to tap into potentially transformative opportunities that could drive substantial long-term growth. The company's work with humanoid robots is an example. Tesla is currently working on the third generation of its robot, Optimus. CEO Musk now expects the reveal of this version to be closer to the start of manufacturing, toward the end of July or August. Musk described Optimus as a general-purpose robot that can learn how to perform a task by observing a demonstration, watching a video, or listening to instructions. If it is nearly as capable as the company expects -- and can be manufactured relatively cheaply at scale -- there could be a huge market for Optimus 3. Some corporations would likely replace part of their workforce with these robots, an option that might be more cost-effective. It could also eventually make its way into the home once it becomes affordable enough. The shift would not happen overnight. It could take years, perhaps over a decade. But all of this remains hypothetical for now. Once we ...

Douglas Rissing/iStock via Getty Images The United States has now crossed a line that no developed economy in world history has ever crossed and survived intact. In just the past decade, our national debt has doubled. Not grown modestly. Not increased in line with GDP. Doubled. And that is merely the headline federal debt number. When you add in private debt - corporate, household, municipal, bank - the United States now sits atop over $100 trillion in total outstanding obligations. In fact, total business debt alone has skyrocketed to $22 trillion, or 70% of GDP - the same percentage that ushered in the Global Financial Crisis in 2008. That alone should terrify any rational investor. Oh, and then there’s the unfunded liabilities, which add another $80 trillion to the dung pile. We are therefore staring at a debt structure of nearly $180 trillion, in an economy with a GDP of $32 trillion. This is not a debt “problem.” This is a debt supernova. And it is now colliding with a very dangerous force: rising interest rates. For decades, politicians and central bankers assured us that debt didn’t matter because rates would remain permanently low. They built an entire economic model on the fantasy that inflation was dead, productivity was eternal, and the bond market would always tolerate unlimited deficits. That delusion has now been shattered. When you have over $100 trillion in total debt, a mere 1% increase in interest rates means an additional $1 trillion in annual interest expense. That is not a rounding error. That is not a budgetary nuisance. That is a black hole for economic growth. This is what insolvency looks like. And when insolvency meets inflation, interest rates do not drift higher - they can explode. The most dangerous misconception on Wall Street today is that the United States can continue to run multi-trillion-dollar deficits without consequence because “there is no alternative to owning Treasuries.” That argument has now collapsed. For years, Japan and ...

The company announced the plan at the opening forum of the 20th Shenzhen International Financial Expo. Credit: Tencent. Tencent has launched an inbound payment upgrade programme aimed at simplifying digital payments for international visitors in China. The company announced the plan at the opening forum of the 20th Shenzhen International Financial Expo. The event included the Shenzhen Municipal Financial Regulatory Bureau, the People’s Bank of China Shenzhen Branch, and PayPal World. Tencent said the goal is to make “digital payments more accessible” for overseas travellers, as Shenzhen is expected to host APEC meetings this year. Tencent’s programme, called the “2026 Inbound Payment Service Upgrade Initiative”, focuses on three areas, including new wallet partnerships, tax refund processing, and changes to international bank card support in Weixin Pay (WeChat Pay). The central element of the initiative is a new collaboration between TenPay Global, Tencent’s cross-border payments platform, and PayPal World. Under the partnership, PayPal users will be able to pay at Weixin Pay merchants in China using QR codes. Tencent said the feature will launch first for PayPal users in the US, with other markets planned in later phases. PayPal World SVP and PayPal Middle East and Africa GM Otto Williams said: “China is home to one of the world’s most sophisticated digital payment ecosystems, and for international travelers, the ability to pay seamlessly is integral to the experience of being here. “Through PayPal World’s partnership with TenPay Global, we are committed to ensuring that international visitor can enjoy frictionless payments, using a wallet they already know and trust. We are proud of what our teams have built together and we look forward to welcoming our users into this experience soon.” Additionally, Weixin Pay’s “Pay with Your Home E-Wallet” capability has been upgraded through China’s unified cross-border QR-code gateway. Tencent said the upgrade now includes pa...

Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images News The U.S. was left strategically vulnerable due to decades of bipartisan policy failures and the Trump administration is working to turn the tide, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is expected to say in a speech on Friday, Axios reported. Bessent's speech titled "While America Slept" will argue that this has been an era of dangerous complacency and deteriorating manufacturing strength in the U.S., a Treasury official told Axios . The U.S. industrial base has become vulnerable as Washington excessively prioritized efficiency over resilience, the official will say. Bessent will note that hollowed-out productive capacity in semiconductors, rare earths, defense and medicines is a strategic failure exposed by the COVID-19 pandemic and the Ukraine war. The Trump administration will continue developing "trusted partner" supply chains with allies despite diplomatic strains over tariffs, the Iran war and other friction points, Bessent will say . He is scheduled to speak at the Reagan National Economic Forum in California on Friday. Other speakers at the event include JPMorgan Chase ( JPM ) CEO Jamie Dimon and SEC Chair Paul Atkins.

Japan used the equivalent of a record ¥11.73 trillion ($73.6 billion) over the past month to support the yen after the currency slid past 160 per dollar, according to Finance Ministry data confirming the government’s first market intervention since 2024.

Japan used the equivalent of a record ¥11.73 trillion ($73.6 billion) over the past month to support the yen after the currency slid past 160 per dollar, according to Finance Ministry data confirming the government’s first market intervention since 2024. The ministry disclosed figures Friday for the month from April 28 to May 27, a period marked by several spikes in the yen. While authorities have until now refrained from confirming any intervention, a person familiar said there was such action on April 30, and there was speculation of further rounds of yen-buying in subsequent days. The total came in larger than expected. Calculations based on central bank flow data had pointed to spending of as much as ¥10.08 trillion after two rounds of action. The bigger number suggests the ministry had a tougher time propping up the yen and may fuel speculation that that multiple rounds of intervention took place. “This raises the possibility that stealth intervention was conducted in the 158.50–159.50 yen range,” said Rinto Maruyama , senior FX and rates strategist at SMBC Nikko Securities Inc. “This would likely be interpreted as a failure to halt the yen’s depreciation despite stealth intervention, likely strengthening arguments regarding the limitations of unilateral intervention.” Traders will need to wait until early August for more precise information on action undertaken, when the ministry releases figures for the second quarter detailing the exact timing and size of operations on a day-by-day basis. The April 30 action came two days after the Bank of Japan held its policy settings steady. The operation resembled a pattern seen in April 2024, when the BOJ’s end-of-month stand-pat decision weakened the currency and prompted the government to step into the market. The operations underscore the authorities’ determination to prevent a further slide in the yen. The currency has remained under pressure from the wide US-Japan interest rate differential and mounting inflation c...

Some elderly landlords in Hong Kong have said they cannot afford renovations costing as much as HK$400,000 (US$51,060) to ensure their subdivided flats comply with new regulations and they may be forced to take units that rent for HK$3,000 a month off the market. At a media session on Friday, four landlords owning subdivided flats in Sham Shui Po and Yau Ma Tei said they had registered for the government’s grace period under the Basic Housing Unit Ordinance but were struggling to meet the new compliance requirements. They presented a range of estimates from contractors – all much higher than the range of HK$25,000 to HK$51,000 per flat the Housing Bureau presented last week. Advertisement One landlord, an 81-year-old retired newspaper vendor, said she faced costs as high as HK$400,000 to upgrade her 800 sq ft flat, which was divided into four units. When asked about the range cited by the bureau, Wing-tse said she wondered how it could be so low. Advertisement “I hope the government can assist me in finding a better quotation if they know these renovation contractors,” she said.

The world's 30 most valuable soccer teams are worth an average of $2.66 billion, according to CNBC's Official Global Soccer Team Valuations 2026. This number puts soccer's average team value behind that of the National Football League, whose average team is worth $7.65 billion , the National Basketball Association, at an average of $5.52 billion , and Major League Baseball, at $2.95 billion , and puts it ahead of the National Hockey League, at $2.2 billion , according to CNBC's official team valuations. Teams at the top of CNBC's soccer rankings are global brands that collect big piles of cash from tickets, sponsorships and broadcasting rights. Teams that make strong runs in the Union of European Football Associations Champions League — an annual competition for the Continent's best teams — also rake in a lot of money. Last year, Paris Saint-Germain earned 144.4 million euros (US$156 million) by winning the league, according to UEFA. PSG's value is up 16% from last year, to $5.3 billion, enough for seventh place on CNBC's list. On May 30, PSG and Arsenal, ranked eighth on CNBC's list at $4.8 billion, will face off in the Champions League final in Budapest. Both teams have already secured huge payouts from participating in the tournament, with the winner standing to make an additional 6.5 million euros (US$7.55 million, based on current exchange rates), according to UEFA. Real Madrid, the most valuable soccer team for the second consecutive year, is now worth $7.5 billion, 12% more than last year. The Spanish side reported $1.26 billion in revenue for the 2024-25 season, the most ever for a soccer team and just $10 million less than the revenue of the NFL's Dallas Cowboys for the 2024 season. The Cowboys are the top revenue team in any sport, according to CNBC's team valuation database. Real Madrid sits atop soccer's financial pantheon thanks in part to its wild success on the pitch: It has won a record 36 La Liga titles and a record 15 Champions League trophies. The...
