Tingting Ji/iStock via Getty Images Thesis CorMedix Inc. ( CRMD ) stock has been on the downward slope since early January. Shares hit a mid-$6 low in late March and have seen some slight upside into the $7 range. In my previous coverage , I initiated my Sell rating due to CMS reimbursement changes impacting DefenCath pricing. However, I do see some upside coming from the Phase III ReSPECT readout sometime in Q2 '26. In the longer run, this could unlock a $2 billion prophylaxis market for Rezzayo and shift the company toward a sort of higher-margin, speciality hospital model. In the near term, however, the trial readout should serve as a meaningful catalyst, which is why I am choosing to upgrade to a Hold rating until we see that readout. FY25 review Just as a quick recap on earnings . For Q4 '25, the company reported net revenue of about $128.6 million, which was a big jump year-over-year from the $31.2 million we saw back in Q4 '24. We can put the big driver down to about $91.2 million in DefenCath sales and $37.4 million from Melinta’s portfolio. So I think we can say that there’s been a successful market penetration and adoption among outpatient dialysis customers for DefenCath. The Melinta acquisition, on the other hand, contributed a full quarter of revenue for the first time, which was nice to see. However, they missed on EPS expectations with just $0.16 per diluted share, but they also managed to achieve net income of $14.0 million. It’s worth noting that this was supported by deferred tax assets that offset a bit of the tax expense. Adjusted EBITDA actually surged to $77.2 million compared to $15.3 million last year, so for me, this is a sign of decent underlying profitability and efficient cost management, even if we are seeing increased operational expenses. CorMedix Inc. As for FY25, CorMedix’s total revenue hit $311.7 million, with pro forma revenue, which would include a full year of Melinta operations, coming to about $401.3 million. So there’s clearl...
Heavyweight fixture that featured icons such as Kevin Sinfield and Lesley Vainikolo returns after 12-year hiatus It will almost feel as if Super League has stepped back in time on Friday night as the rivalry that defined the competition’s early years returns after a 12-year hiatus, and it will not just be across West Yorkshire that eyes will be on Odsal Stadium for Bradford Bulls’ derby with Leeds...
Heavyweight fixture that featured icons such as Kevin Sinfield and Lesley Vainikolo returns after 12-year hiatus It will almost feel as if Super League has stepped back in time on Friday night as the rivalry that defined the competition’s early years returns after a 12-year hiatus, and it will not just be across West Yorkshire that eyes will be on Odsal Stadium for Bradford Bulls’ derby with Leeds Rhinos. In a small corner of New Zealand, Lesley Vainikolo will interrupt his Saturday morning to watch the return of the derby he starred in for Bradford during the early 2000s, and he will probably not be alone. Dubbed the Volcano thanks to his incredible try-scoring record, with 149 in 152 games for the Bulls , Vainikolo rarely gives interviews these days. But the lure of discussing one of Super League’s biggest fixtures returning was too much to resist. “There is no way I’d miss it,” says the 46-year-old, who is now director of rugby at Wesley College near Auckland, the school that forged the career of Jonah Lomu.

A new book by historian Annette Gordon-Reed explores the former US president’s writings on race throughout his life Thomas Jefferson’s interactions with enslaved people bookend his life. The third US president and a founder of the United States was born into a slave-owning family in a society upon which slavery was the bedrock. A Black woman was probably his earliest nursemaid – evidence shows that his mother did not breastfeed her children, so it is probable that a Black woman was also Jefferson’s wet nurse. His earliest memory, which he relayed to his grandchildren, was of being carried on a pillow via horseback by a man his family enslaved on a 50-mile journey to Tuckahoe, Virginia. Given his status as an enslaver – Jefferson owned more than 610 people in his lifetime – those he held in bondage may have been the last people Jefferon saw before he died. An enslaved man, John Hemmings, built his casket. The omnipresence of slavery in his life and its clear contradictions with regards to his views on liberty, create a point of which much of the existing literature on Jefferson must attempt to make sense. Scholars have long tried to analyze and parse the juxtaposition of bondage and freedom for the former president. But in a new book by Annette Gordon-Reed, a Pulitzer prize-winning historian and a pre-eminent Jefferson scholar, Jefferson speaks for himself. Continue reading...

But these days, the chocolate aisle promises so much more than that: mental clarity , a stronger immune system , PMS relief and even sexual stamina – all in a few squares. Chocolate is hardly the only treat to be reborn as a wellness product. Supermarket shelves now boast chips with added protein , gut-friendly sodas and collagen oatmeal – all part of the fast-growing “functional foods” market, which is expected to reach $586bn globally by 2030.

When it comes to automotive bragging rights, a good Nürburgring Nordschleife lap time is right up there with the best of them. And today, those bragging rights belong to Ford. The automaker revealed that its GT Mk IV, an evolution of the mid-engined supercar it created in 2016, is now the fastest production car to ever lap the 12.9-mile (20.8-km) race track in Germany, with a time of 6 minutes, 15...
When it comes to automotive bragging rights, a good Nürburgring Nordschleife lap time is right up there with the best of them. And today, those bragging rights belong to Ford. The automaker revealed that its GT Mk IV, an evolution of the mid-engined supercar it created in 2016, is now the fastest production car to ever lap the 12.9-mile (20.8-km) race track in Germany, with a time of 6 minutes, 15.997 seconds set by Frédéric Vervisch. The century-old racetrack in Germany's Eifel region was built during the Great Depression as a way to create jobs but also to provide Germany's car industry with a place to test its products. In addition to races, it was—and remains—open to the public for leisure driving. Well, for some definition of leisure: The place isn't known as the Green Hell for nothing, with hundreds of feet of elevation change across 12.9 miles (20.8 km) and between 73–170 corners, depending how you count them. After years of driving it online, I got my first laps there last summer and can report that in real life, it is bumpy and narrow, and I'd need another hundred laps or so before I started to feel properly comfortable.

You may hear the phrase "multibagger" a lot in the investment community. Essentially, each time a stock doubles, it gets "one bag," pulling from baseball terminology. A multibagger indicates multiple increases from the base investment amount. So, whenever you hear about a multibagger stock, it's one that has immense upside.

You may hear the phrase "multibagger" a lot in the investment community. Essentially, each time a stock doubles, it gets "one bag," pulling from baseball terminology. A multibagger indicates multiple increases from the base investment amount. So, whenever you hear about a multibagger stock, it's one that has immense upside. One stock that I think has multibagger potential is Nebius Group (NASDAQ: NBIS) . Nebius is a neocloud company that specializes in artificial intelligence-first cloud infrastructure.

核心观点:结合特朗普最新演讲内容,我们认为特朗普或通过最后一波对伊朗高烈度的军事打击,以宣布本次“史诗狂怒”行动取得“彻底胜利”,从而正当化其最后撤军的TACO行为。同时特朗普也在将霍尔木兹海峡问题的矛盾转移至伊朗与其他国家之间,以掩盖自身挑起冲突的政治责任。但由于“先升级再降级”的路径仍无法解决霍尔木兹海峡的通航问题,因此市场短期内或将延续之前的“紧货币”交易路径。若伊朗方面未来对美伊直接会谈做出积极表态,双方开始就和平协议进行实质性磋商,则市场情绪或因此出现显著改善,令当前“紧货币”交易路径反转。 特朗普再度发表全国演讲,表示未来两到三周内对伊进行猛烈打击。北京时间4月2日上午9:00,美国总统特朗普于白宫就对伊朗的军事行动发表全国演说。此次演讲为3月3日以来特朗普第二次就对伊军事行动发表正式演讲。特朗普在演讲中表示对伊朗军事打击的核心目标已经“接近完成(near completion)”,并将在未来两到三周内再度对伊朗进行“严厉打击(hit them extremely hard over the next two to three weeks)”。此外,特朗普还表示美国几乎不从霍尔木兹海峡进口石油,因此其他依赖进口能源的国家应该自己去“夺取并保护(take it and protect it)”霍尔木兹海峡。当冲突结束时,海峡便会“自动开放”(when this conflictis over,the Strait will open up naturally)。由于特朗普表示将再度对伊朗进行军事打击,且并未给出霍尔木兹海峡问题的具体解决方案,演讲结束后原油价格大涨,市场再度交易“紧货币”,带动美债利率上行,黄金价格回落。 结合本次演讲和近期特朗普的公开言论,我们认为,特朗普正在为TACO做准备,其或在正式撤军前通过最后一波军事打击以“宣布胜利”,并将霍尔木兹海峡问题的矛盾转移至伊朗与其他国家之间,具体来看: 特朗普或派出地面部队攻击伊朗后迅速“撤军”。从本届特朗普政府的外交战略来看,我们不难发现其对伊朗的军事行动实际上是不符合其“美国优先”和“在中东避免陷入无休止战争”的外交战略思想(详见报告《从委内瑞拉事件看特朗普“唐罗主义”下的外交战略重心转变》)。特朗普对伊朗发动袭击,本质上是希望复刻在委内瑞拉的“成功案例”,通过斩首行动促使伊朗在核谈判问题上做出让...
