U.S. stock futures fell on Monday after three consecutive days of decline on Friday. Futures of major benchmark indices were lower in premarket trading.
Stocks decline as investors await the day of incoming reciprocal tariffs on April 2nd. This is termed &#8220;Liberation Day&#8221; by U.S. President Donald Trump.
Goldman Sachs, in its recent note, predicted a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/03/44554304/goldman-sachs-raises-us-recession-risk-to-35-expects-inflation-at-3-5-in-2025-amid-tariff-uncertainties-economist-mohamed-el-erian-highlights-stagflationary-twist">35% recession risk</a> and reciprocal tariffs that average 15% across all U.S. trading partners, although product and country exclusions could whittle the addition to the average U.S. tariff rate down to 9 percentage points.
The stock market ended the month of March and the first quarter on a rough note. As of Friday, the Nasdaq 100 index was 13.24% from its previous high. The S&amp;P 500 was 9.22% lower from its record level, and the Dow Jones was down 7.74% from its 52-week high.

Insights From Analysts:
As the date for &#8220;reciprocal tariffs&#8221; or "Liberation Day," as termed by President Trump, gets closer, Louis Navellier of Navellier &amp; Associates says that there is a lot for investors to be excited about in April.
&#8220;Overall, despite continued tariff distractions, after &#8216;Liberation Day,&#8217; I am expecting economic optimism to rise steadily in the upcoming months. Continued strong corporate earnings and lower interest rates are a powerful one-two punch that is expected to drop kick and propel economic growth dramatically higher,&#8221; he said.
However, Goldman Sachs has increased its U.S. recession probability from 20% to 35% in its recent note.
Christian Mueller-Glissmann, the leading asset allocation researcher at Goldman Sachs, has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44554923/goldman-sachs-warns-us-stocks-are-at-risk-of-further-declines-but-policy-pivot-from-trump-or-fed-could-stoke-reco">warned that the risk of further market correction</a> is still looming in the U.S. &#8220;The equity drawdown probability hasn&#8217;t peaked yet,&#8221; he said.
The factors supporting Goldman Sachs Research's view that the market correction has further to go include:
<ul>
<li>Its model's forecast has signaled heightened risk since January and has yet to indicate a peak in the likelihood of continued declines.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>A weakening macroeconomic backdrop, combined with the equity drawdown, suggests that the market has not yet found a bottom.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>The risk appetite indicator, which measures investor sentiment, remains above the ‘-2' threshold that historically signals a potential market reversal absent policy or economic shifts, indicating that a strong buying opportunity has not yet emerged.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>The Magnificent Seven tech stocks, which play a key role in retail investor confidence, have experienced notable declines, and further weakness in these stocks could weigh on sentiment.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>European and Chinese equities, which are currently outperforming the U.S., have historically led initially but ultimately followed the U.S. during broader market corrections, suggesting that a deeper U.S. downturn could pull global markets lower.</li>
</ul>
Mueller-Glissmann notes a key limitation of his equity drawdown model: it doesn't factor in policy shifts. "If President Trump or the Federal Reserve makes a major policy pivot, markets could recover much faster," he said.

US Stocks Likely To Open Lower After 3-Day Fall: 'Equity Drawdown Probability Hasn't Peaked Yet,' Says Goldman Sachs Analyst

As uncertainties surrounding trade policies, fresh recession fears, and persistent inflation kept the markets on tenterhooks throughout the past week, a handful of small-caps defied the odds by posting significant gains. 
These stocks, all part of the Russell 2000 index, have market caps lower than $2 billion and have rallied between 11% and 60% over the past week, while the broader index witnessed a pullback of 2.5%. Let us explore these stocks and the various factors contributing to their resilience.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">1. Lexicon Pharmaceuticals</h2>
The three-decades-old Lexicon Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LXRX#NASDAQ">LXRX</a>) posted a phenomenal 58% rally last week, after announcing that it was entering into an exclusive licensing agreement with Danish pharma giant, Novo Nordisk (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVO#NYSE">NVO</a>). 
The agreement pertains to Lexicon&#8217;s LX9851, an oral non-incretin development candidate for treating obesity and other metabolic disorders. It provides Novo with exclusive rights to develop, manufacture, and commercialize the drug worldwide.
The deal is set to generate Lexicon up to $1 billion in milestone and royalty payments over the coming years, prompting a quick &#8216;Buy&#8217; rating from Joseph Pantginis of H.C. Wainwright, alongside <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/insights/analyst-ratings/25/03/44542815/what-6-analyst-ratings-have-to-say-about-lexicon-pharmaceuticals">several other analysts</a>.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">3. LightWave Logic </h2>
LightWave Logic (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LWLG#NASDAQ">LWLG</a>) develops photonic devices and electro-optic polymer materials for fiber-optic communications, all of which play a critical role in semiconductor foundries and AI data centers. 
Last week, the company announced its Process Design Kit (PDK) which is now commercially available after already being implemented at two major foundries. This <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/insights/movers/25/03/44547240/12-information-technology-stocks-moving-in-fridays-after-market-session">led the stock to pop 19% on Friday</a>, ending the week up by 10%. A picks-and-shovels play, the stock is expected to maintain momentum as the AI race heats up.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">3. Argan Inc</h2>
Argan Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AGX#NYSE">AGX</a>), a Maryland-based engineering, procurement, and construction company that&#8217;s been around since the early-60s. The stock popped nearly 20% on Friday, ending the week up by 11%, following its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44536628/argan-posts-upbeat-results-joins-kulr-technology-abacus-global-management-w-r-berkley-and-other-big-stocks-moving-higher-on-friday">spectacular fourth-quarter earnings performance</a>.
The company reported $232 million in revenue during the fourth quarter, up 40% year-over-year, and a profit of $31.4 million, or $2.22 per share, up 150% year-over-year, while handily beating analyst estimates.
Argan&#8217;s performance is largely owing to its power industry services business, with revenues growing 65% to $196 million, and contributing to its massive order backlog at $1.4 billion, up 80% from the prior year. The company is riding the demand for natural gas-fired power plants to fuel the endless new AI data centers.

Penny stock Lexicon Pharmaceuticals entered into an exclusive license agreement with Novo Nordisk A/S (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVO#NYSE">NVO</a>) on Friday for LX9851, a first-in-class, oral non-incretin development candidate in obesity and <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/weight-loss" rel="noreferrer noopener">associated metabolic disorders</a>.
Under the terms of the agreement, Novo Nordisk obtains an exclusive, worldwide license to develop, manufacture, and commercialize LX9851 in all indications.

LX9851, discovered and developed by Lexicon, is a potent and selective oral small molecule inhibitor of Acyl-CoA Synthetase 5 (ACSL5)​.
ACSL5 plays a key role in the metabolic pathway, which regulates fat accumulation and energy balance.
Additionally, LX9851 may activate the ileal brake mechanism leading to increased satiety by delaying gastric emptying and suppressing appetite.

Earnings Scheduled For March 6, 2025

Lexicon Pharmaceuticals shares are trading lower after the company announced topline results from its PROGRESS Phase 2b study of pilavapadin. Despite the study not meeting statistical significance in its primary endpoint, the 10 mg dose showed clear clinical benefits over placebo.

Lexicon Pharmaceuticals Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LXRX#NASDAQ">LXRX</a>) shares are trading lower by 42% to 40 cents Monday morning. The company earlier <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/03/g44073239/lexicon-pharmaceuticals-announces-topline-results-from-phase-2b-progress-study-evaluating-pilavapa">announced topline results</a> from its PROGRESS Phase 2b study evaluating pilavapadin (LX9211) for diabetic peripheral neuropathic pain.
What To Know: The study confirmed that a 10 mg daily dose achieved meaningful pain reduction with improved tolerability, making it the optimal dose for Phase 3 trials. Unlike the prior RELIEF-DPN-1 study, PROGRESS eliminated the high initial loading dose, improving patient tolerability while maintaining efficacy.

The company says, despite the study not meeting statistical significance in its primary endpoint, the 10 mg dose showed clear clinical benefits over placebo. Adverse events, primarily dizziness and nausea, were less severe than in previous trials, with the 10 mg dose being well-tolerated. 
Lexicon's CEO, Mike Exton, emphasized pilavapadin's potential to become the first new oral non-opioid treatment for neuropathic pain in 20 years. Full study results will be published in a peer-reviewed journal.
According to data from&nbsp;<a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro</a>, LXRX has a 52-week high of $2.83 and a 52-week low of $0.62.
