PM Images/DigitalVision via Getty Images Thesis Kymera Therapeutics ( KYMR ) just reported a 4Q25 GAAP EPS of -$0.97, a figure that missed the consensus by about $0.18. Revenue came in at just $2.9 million for the quarter, down about 60.8% year-over-year, and also missed consensus estimates by about $11.9 million. The revenue shortfall reflects lower collaboration revenue compared with the prior year period. Now, despite the miss here, the stock hasn't taken too much of a downturn, since for Kymera the aim here is pipeline progression, and in that sense the company is now more capitalized than ever going into 2026. They hold about $1.6 billion in cash, and with the upcoming milestones this year, investors are hoping for some positive results to help with more upward stock momentum. FY25 financials Kymera's collaboration revenue for FY25 actually declined year-over-year, coming in at about $39.2 million versus $47.1 million a year ago. I think we can put this drop mainly down to being timing-related, and it goes to show how revenue is recognised under partnership agreements rather than a deterioration in partner interest. You see, in 2025, most of the recognised collaboration revenue came from Gilead, whereas back in 2024, revenue was driven by Sanofi. As you know, these revenues are milestone/activity-based, so they can fluctuate depending on program progress, but also with accounting treatment rather than actual product sales. Now, since Kymera is still a clinical-stage company without commercial products, collaboration revenue isn't really stable yet or even a recurring revenue stream. So we should view it more as a supplement to its balance sheet rather than a core driver of financial performance. Kymera Therapeutics, Inc. Elsewhere, research and development expenses increased a lot, now up to $316.6 million in 2025 from $240.2 million in 2024. A result of pretty aggressive investment in advancing its pipeline into mid-stage clinical trials. The increase is also ...

Advanced deterrence As geopolitical tensions escalate around the world, France is stepping up to strengthen its defense capabilities. The country will expand its nuclear arsenal and could provide for the weapons' deployment to allies as needed, President Emmanuel Macron announced, signaling a major doctrine change. Nuke defense: "To be free, therefore, one must be feared, and to be feared, one must be powerful. This increase in our arsenal is proof of that," Macron declared. France will also stop disclosing how many nukes it possesses. Macron also called for an advanced deterrence approach in Europe, which would initially offer partners the opportunity to participate in deterrence exercises. "This could also involve signaling, including beyond our immediate borders, or the conventional participation of allied forces in our nuclear activities. Finally, it could provide for the deployment, as needed, of strategic force elements to our allies," he said. Calling on allies: The UK, Germany, Poland, the Netherlands, Belgium, Greece, Sweden, and Denmark will join France in this effort. "Discussions are also underway with several other countries and will continue in the coming weeks and months," Macron said. As part of this push, France and Germany set up a high-ranking nuclear steering group and will take the first concrete steps towards cooperation this year. Th...

Burner accounts on social media sites can increasingly be analyzed to identify the pseudonymous users who post to them using AI in research that has far-reaching consequences for privacy on the Internet, researchers said. The finding, from a recently published research paper , is based on results of experiments correlating specific individuals with accounts or posts across more than one social media platform. The success rate was far greater than existing classical deanonymization work that relied on humans assembling structured data sets suitable for algorithmic matching or manual work by skilled investigators. Recall—that is, how many users were successfully deanonymized—was as high as 68 percent. Precision—meaning the rate of guesses that correctly identify the user—was up to 90 percent. I know what you posted last year The findings have the potential to upend pseudonymity, an imperfect but often sufficient privacy measure used by many people to post queries and participate in sometimes sensitive public discussions while making it hard for others to positively identify the speakers. The ability to cheaply and quickly identify the people behind such obscured accounts opens them up to doxxing, stalking, and the assembly of detailed marketing profiles that track where speakers live, what they do for a living, and other personal information. This pseudonymity measure no longer holds. Read full article Comments

Many American wars begin with the assumption that brute force will lead to a swift and decisive victory. While the US military is highly effective at conventional deterrence, it has consistently struggled to defeat adversaries employing asymmetric tactics. In conflicts such as Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan and Yemen, Washington repeatedly underestimated its adversaries by assessing their strength based on their ability to fight conventionally. Iran represents the most dangerous iteration of asymmetric warfare: a state that has developed over more than 45 years to survive US power without direct confrontation. US President Donald Trump now risks revealing the same American vulnerabilities as before: reliance on doctrines and technologies that cannot read or adapt to the changing battlespace, which now includes Iran targeting US assets and bases in the region Take Millennium Challenge 2002, one of the largest pre-Iraq-invasion war game simulations. Here, the US faced an adversary in the Persian Gulf using asymmetric low-tech warfare. US battle formations constituted a naval fleet of 19 ships, including an aircraft carrier, similar to Trump’s armada, which consists of about 20 ships, including two aircraft carriers. Advertisement Documents released by the US National Security Agency found that within 10 minutes of starting the Millennium Challenge operation, Lieutenant General Paul Van Riper, commander of the “red team”, sank the US aircraft carrier and defeated the “blue team”, representing the US forces. However, the commanders paused the war game, “refloated” the sunken ships and resumed the exercises as if the red team’s victory hadn’t occurred. They changed the scenario by restricting the red team’s ability to conduct asymmetric warfare, forcing them to fight on America’s terms, which led to a predetermined US victory. Van Riper’s strategy involved avoiding the interception of electronic and phone communications by using couriers to carry sensitive messages and lante...

For months, there has been talk that Silicon Valley’s billionaire class was recruiting a candidate to take on Representative Ro Khanna. Early Tuesday morning, that candidate made it official. Ethan Agarwal (pictured above), a 40-year-old tech entrepreneur with no political background, told TechCrunch on Monday evening that he is running for California’s 17th congressional district. That process is likely to set up what may become one of the most lavishly funded primary challenges of the 2026 cycle. The race puts a spotlight on Khanna, a 49-year-old Democrat widely seen as a possible 2028 presidential candidate, who has publicly backed a one-time wealth tax in California. His endorsement has infuriated some of the state’s richest founders and investors, but Khanna has doubled down, introducing national legislation with Senator Bernie Sanders that would impose a 5% annual wealth tax on all Americans worth $1 billion or more — a proposal their offices estimate would raise $4.4 trillion over a decade. There’s a certain irony to the situation. Agarwal is a graduate of Wharton and spent three years at McKinsey before founding audio fitness company Aaptiv, which he sold in 2021. He most recently co-founded financial services startup Coterie, backed by Andreessen Horowitz. When Khanna first ran for this same seat in 2014, he was the tech-backed outsider, with tech names like Marc Andreessen, Sheryl Sandberg and Eric Schmidt supporting him. He challenged popular Democratic incumbent Mike Honda, lost that attempt, but came back in 2016 to win. Critics at the time called Khanna an owned man. A decade later, the same charge will surely be leveled at the person trying to unseat him. What follows is an edited version of our conversation with Agarwal.

Sakibul Hasan/iStock via Getty Images Introduction If there’s one thing I have often mentioned, it’s that I am more afraid of missing stock market upside than going through one of the market’s sell-offs. Or to put it differently, I feel much safer in stocks than in cash. It’s not even close, to be honest. One reason is the long-term purchasing power loss of fiat currencies. The chart below is for the U.S. dollar, but it obviously applies to other currencies as well (even more to the ones with higher long-term inflation rates). Since the early 2000s, the value of the dollar (purchasing power) has dropped by roughly 50%, which is rather subdued, as inflation was mostly subdued during the past 25-ish years. Periods like the 1960s and 1970s were worse. Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis That’s why I'm so glad to see that investing has become much more popular in recent years. I’m not talking about people trading crypto, but the ones investing in index ETFs and other vehicles that allow them to grow their capital without the need to become financial professionals. As we can see below, the total AUM (assets under management) of U.S. ETFs has risen to $14 trillion going into this year. JPMorgan Although $14 trillion is already a mind-blowing number, what excited me is the fact that total AUM has grown by 22% per year since 2019. Even active ETFs are booming, as these have grown by 56% per year during this period. During the pandemic, total ETF AUM was just $4 trillion. Currently, NVIDIA ( NVDA ) has a higher market cap than the total U.S. ETF AUM back then. Here’s what BlackRock ( BLK ) said at a recent conference: We had $530 billion of organic asset growth in iShares last year, finished No. 1 across the world. But we're still opening up new use cases for ETFs in fixed income, in active ETFs, in nonlinear ETFs that incorporate options in terms of covered call writing or puts and calls that are structured note replacements. And I think of kind of the growth of ETFs around t...

Eka Jaya Permana/iStock via Getty Images Investment Approach Fidelity® Limited Term Bond ETF is a shorter-duration investment-grade bond strategy, which is focused primarily on U.S. corporate credit. The fund's primary benchmark is the Bloomberg U.S. 1-5 Year Government/Credit Bond Index. However, given the fund's focus on credit, it also has a secondary, composite benchmark, which consists of 70% Bloomberg U.S. 1-5 Year Credit Bond Index, 20% Bloomberg U.S. 1-5 Year Government Bond Index and 10% ICE BofA 1-5 Year BB-B U.S. Cash Pay High Yield Constrained Index. The composition differed in periods prior to February 28, 2024. Utilizing a team-based investment process, the fund relies on experienced portfolio managers, research analysts and traders.

Robust governance and risk management, consisting of extensive quantitative modeling, formal and informal portfolio reviews, and proprietary tools, support the identification of both opportunities and risks. Taxable Bond Market Review U.S. taxable investment-grade bonds advanced 1.10% in the fourth quarter of 2025, as measured by the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index. This result capped a year of elevated volatility, yet one in which the bond market posted gains in all four quarters. For the full year, the Aggregate index rose 7.30%, its best annual result since 2020. Quarterly performance was fueled by a combination of elevated starting yields and price appreciation, as bond prices rose amid falling interest rates and investor demand, supported by stable fundamentals. The U.S. Federal Reserve, after resuming the monetary easing program it had paused from January until September of this year, followed through with additional policy rate reductions in October and December.
