<p><strong>Daqo New Energy Corp</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DQ#NYSE">DQ</a>) shares fell 13.2% to $12.85 during Tuesday&#8217;s session after the solar-grade polysilicon producer reported <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/04/n45062964/daqo-new-energy-announces-unaudited-first-quarter-2025-results">worse-than-expected</a> first-quarter results, signaling possible industry struggles.</p>
<p><strong>What To Know:</strong> The company posted an adjusted net loss of 80 cents per ADS, wider than analyst expectations of a 69 cent loss. Revenue dropped 70% year-over-year to $123.9 million, missing the $182.1 million consensus. The sharp decline was driven by lower sales volumes and weak pricing, amid persistent overcapacity and muted demand in the solar PV market.</p>
<p>Gross margin plunged to -65.8% from +17.4% a year ago, with a gross loss of $81.5 million. Polysilicon average selling prices dropped to $4.37/kg, below both production and cash costs. Despite losses, Daqo&#8217;s balance sheet shows $2.15 billion in liquid assets and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/04/n45062964/daqo-new-energy-announces-unaudited-first-quarter-2025-results">no financial debt</a>.</p>
<p>CEO <strong>Xiang Xu</strong> said the company ran at 33% capacity to manage inventory and mitigate low prices. Looking ahead, Daqo expects second-quarter polysilicon output of 25,000–28,000 MT. Management remains confident in long-term prospects, citing cost leadership, new technologies and China&#8217;s push for solar expansion.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy DQ Stock</h2>
<p>Besides going to a brokerage platform to purchase a share &#8211; or fractional share &#8211; of stock, you can also gain access to shares either by buying an exchange traded fund (ETF) that holds the stock itself, or by allocating yourself to a strategy in your 401(k) that would seek to acquire shares in a mutual fund or other instrument. </p>
<p>For example, in Daqo New Energy&#8217;s case, it is in the Information Technology sector. An ETF will likely hold shares in many liquid and large companies that help track that sector, allowing an investor to gain exposure to the trends within that segment.</p>
<p>According to data from&nbsp;<a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro</a>, DQ has a 52-week high of $30.85 and a 52-week low of $12.40.</p>

<p><strong>Sherwin-Williams Co </strong>(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SHW#NYSE">SHW</a>) reported first-quarter financial results before the market open on Tuesday. Here&#8217;s a look at the key metrics <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/04/n45062385/the-sherwin-williams-company-reports-2025-first-quarter-financial-results">from the quarter</a>.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Q1 Revenue:</strong> $5.31 billion, versus <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/earnings">estimates</a> of $5.4 billion</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><strong>Q1 Adjusted EPS:</strong> $2.25, versus estimates of $2.16 per share</li>
</ul>
<p>Sherwin-Williams said total sales declined 1.1% year-over-year. Consumer Brands Group sales fell 6% year-over-year, primarily due to &#8220;soft&#8221; DIY demand in North America. Performance Coating Group sales were down 4.8% in the quarter. Paint Stores Group sales fared better, seeing 1.2% sales growth during the period, primarily driven by selling price increases. </p>
<p>The company returned&nbsp;$552.1 million&nbsp;to shareholders in the first quarter in the form of dividends and repurchases. Sherwin-Williams ended the period with $199.8 million in cash and cash equivalents.</p>
<p>&#8220;In a demand environment that remained choppy as we anticipated, Sherwin-Williams continued to execute our strategy and delivered solid&nbsp;first quarter&nbsp;results driven by gross margin expansion and good cost control,&#8221; said <strong>Heidi Petz</strong>, chair, president and CEO of Sherwin-Williams.</p>
<p><strong>See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/25/04/45061797/us-stock-futures-edge-higher-tuesday-expert-warns-of-perfect-volatility-storm-with-major-earnings-and-economic-data-due-this-week">US Stock Futures Edge Higher Tuesday: Expert Warns Of &#8216;Perfect Volatility Storm&#8217; With Major Earnings And Economic Data Due This Week</a></strong></p>
<p><strong>Guidance:</strong> Sherwin-Williams expects second-quarter revenue to be up or down in the low-single digit percentage range. The company guided for full-year 2025 net sales growth in the low-single digit percentage range. </p>
<p>Sherwin-Williams also expects full-year adjusted earnings of $11.65 to $12.05 per share versus estimates of $11.90 per share, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>.</p>
<p>&#8220;We continue to expect demand softness to persist in several end markets well into the second half of the year. Regarding current tariffs, it&#8217;s important to remember that the largest portion of our revenue is in&nbsp;the United States, and the majority of our raw materials are sourced in the regions where we manufacture. In a macro-economic environment that remains turbulent, we are focused on being a source of stability and reliability for our customers, providing them with differentiated solutions that increase their productivity and profitability,&#8221; Petz said.</p>
<p><strong>SHW Price Action:</strong> <a href="http://benzinga.com/quote/SHW">Sherwin-Williams shares</a> were up 5.46% at $350.33 at the time of publication Tuesday, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>.</p>

<p>The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on Tuesday approved <strong>Abeona Therapeutics Inc.&#8217;s </strong>(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ABEO#NASDAQ">ABEO</a>) Zevaskyn (prademagene zamikeracel) gene-modified cellular sheets, also known as pz-cel, as the first and only autologous cell-based gene therapy for wounds in adult and pediatric patients with recessive dystrophic <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/health-care" rel="noreferrer noopener">epidermolysis bullosa (RDEB)</a>.</p>
<p>RDEB is&nbsp;a severe, genetically inherited skin disorder characterized by blistering and skin fragility, often presenting at birth.</p>
<p>Zevaskyn is the only FDA-approved product to treat RDEB wounds <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/04/g45061116/u-s-fda-approves-zevaskyn-prademagene-zamikeracel-the-first-and-only-cell-based-gene-therapy-for-p" rel="noreferrer noopener">with a single application</a>.</p>
<p>Zevaskyn consists of a patient&#8217;s skin cells (keratinocytes) genetically modified to produce functional Type VII collagen. Zevaskyn sheets are surgically applied to the patient&#8217;s wounded areas. In a single application, up to 12 credit card-sized sheets can be combined to cover large areas or applied to multiple distinct wounds, allowing for significant coverage of affected body areas.</p>
<p><strong><em>Also Read: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/25/03/44356786/incytes-new-treatment-for-chronic-skin-disease-shows-promising-results-in-latest-clinical-trials-" rel="noreferrer noopener">Incyte&#8217;s New Treatment for Chronic Skin Disease Shows Promising Results In Latest Clinical Trials, Stock Falls</a></em></strong></p>
<p>Zevaskyn is expected to be available beginning in the third quarter of 2025 through Zevaskyn Qualified Treatment Centers.</p>
<p>The FDA approval is based on the pivotal Phase 3 VIITAL study, which met its two co-primary efficacy endpoints, demonstrating statistically significant healing of 50% or more from baseline in large chronic RDEB wounds and pain reduction from baseline as assessed by the Wong-Baker FACES scale, as evaluated at six months after treatment.</p>
<p>Across 43 large and chronic wounds treated with a single application of Zevaskyn, 81% of wounds showed 50% or more healing (P&lt;0.0001) as evaluated at six months, compared to 16% in 43 matched control wounds treated with standard-of-care.</p>
<p>The most common adverse events were observed in fewer than 5% of patients, including procedural pain and itch.</p>
<p>The Phase 1/2a study of Zevaskyn, which involved 38 chronic wounds across seven patients, showed that a single surgical application of Zevaskyn was associated with long-term improvement at treated sites over a median follow-up of 6.9 years, ranging from 4 to 8 years.</p>
<p>Last April, the FDA issued a Complete Response Letter (CRL) in response to the company&#8217;s Biologics License Application (BLA) for <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/04/38380100/fda-rejects-approval-of-abeona-therapeutics-skin-disorder-treatment-shares-sink" rel="noreferrer noopener">pz-cel for RDEB</a>.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The FDA noted that certain additional information&nbsp;was needed&nbsp;to&nbsp;satisfy Chemistry Manufacturing and Controls (CMC) requirements.&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Price Action:</strong> ABEO stock is up 2.34% at $5.46 at the last check Tuesday.</p>
