Coupang's Options Frenzy: What You Need to Know

<p><strong>Mainz Biomed N.V.</strong> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MYNZ#NASDAQ">MYNZ</a>) announced a 1-for-40 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/11/g42243811/mainz-biomed-announces-stock-split" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">reverse stock split</a>, effective Dec. 3. The company specializes in the early detection of cancer.</p>
<p>Last month, Mainz Biomed reported a collaborative agreement with <strong>Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc.</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TMO#NYSE">TMO</a>) through its subsidiary Life Technologies Corporation.</p>
<p>The collaboration agreement will enable Mainz Biomed and Thermo Fisher to jointly develop and potentially commercialize Mainz Biomed&#8217;s Next Generation colorectal <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/11/g41900924/mainz-biomed-and-thermo-fisher-scientific-sign-a-collaboration-agreement-for-the-development-of-ne" rel="noreferrer noopener">cancer screening product</a>.</p>
<p>The collaboration will harness Thermo Fisher&#8217;s technologies, instrumentation and information translation systems to enable Mainz Biomed to develop proprietary assays for its mRNA-based next-generation colorectal cancer screening tests.</p>
<p>Mainz Biomed&#8217;s flagship non-invasive test targets the early detection of colorectal cancer and focuses on precancerous lesions, particularly advanced adenomas.</p>
<p>The collaboration will leverage combined capabilities to deliver testing solutions being developed at Mainz Biomed&#8217;s laboratories in Mainz, Germany.</p>
<p><strong>Guido Baechler</strong>, CEO of Mainz Biomed, said: &#8220;This collaboration with Thermo Fisher will be instrumental to our goal to bring to market a home collection colorectal screening tool with highly effective detection of adenomas.&#8221;</p>
<p>In October, Mainz Biomed reported a 4% increase in revenue and a 32% decrease in operational losses for the first half of 2024. These decreases result from the company&#8217;s efforts to reduce costs during the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/10/g41425438/mainz-biomed-reports-mid-year-2024-financial-results-and-provides-corporate-update" rel="noreferrer noopener">first half of the year</a>.</p>
<p>The company announced significant improvements to its ColoAlert&nbsp;product, which is available across Europe and in select international markets.</p>
<p>The company says that the new proprietary buffer used in ColoAlert&nbsp;significantly reduces the necessity for additional sample submissions, thereby decreasing how long it takes patients to obtain their results.</p>
<p>This enhancement enabled ColoAlert&nbsp;to achieve the industry&#8217;s lowest retesting rates, ensuring that screening outcomes are delivered within two to three days of arrival at the laboratory.</p>

<p><strong>Ulta Beauty's</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ULTA#NYSE">ULTA</a>) short percent of float has risen 10.4% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has <strong>2.72 million shares sold short</strong>, which is 7.43% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, <strong>it would take traders 3.31 days to cover their short positions on average.</strong></p>
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
<p>Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.</p>
<p>Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.</p>

<p>As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Ulta Beauty has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.</p>
<h3>Comparing Ulta Beauty's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
<p>Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.</p>
<p>According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Ulta Beauty's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 12.05%, which means the company has <strong>less</strong> short interest than most of its peers.</p>
<p>Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be <strong>bullish</strong> for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze/"><strong>This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</strong></a></p>

Peering Into Ocean Power Techs's Recent Short Interest

<p><strong>Citizens Financial Group's</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CFG#NYSE">CFG</a>) short percent of float has fallen 15.01% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has <strong>12.25 million shares sold short</strong>, which is 3.68% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, <strong>it would take traders 2.63 days to cover their short positions on average.</strong></p>
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
<p>Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.</p>
<p>Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.</p>

Shares of aerospace companies are trading lower amid possible profit-taking following recent strength in the sector.

<p>Shares of <strong>ASML Holding NV</strong> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ASML#NASDAQ">ASML</a>) have gained 5.4% to $717.41 since Monday&#8217;s open as the U.S. unveiled new export controls targeting China's semiconductor sector.</p>
<p>These measures, restricting advanced chipmaking tools and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/artificial-intelligence">AI-related technologies</a>, could realign global supply chains, bolstering ASML's critical role in chip production.</p>
<p>ASML also said on Monday that the company <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42289269/taiwan-semiconductor-supplier-asml-remains-unscathed-from-bidens-latest-semiconductor-embargo-on-china">does not expect</a> the latest semiconductor sanctions on China to affect its business in 2024.</p>
<p><strong>What To Know:</strong> Based in the Netherlands, ASML is the exclusive supplier of extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography systems, the most advanced equipment for manufacturing cutting-edge semiconductors used in applications such as artificial intelligence, high-performance computing and 5G.</p>
<p><strong>Read Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42287319/wall-streets-most-accurate-analysts-give-their-take-on-3-health-care-stocks-with-over-4-dividend-yields">Wall Street&#8217;s Most Accurate Analysts Give Their Take On 3 Health Care Stocks With Over 4% Dividend Yields</a></strong></p>
<p>The company also dominates in deep ultraviolet (DUV) lithography systems, crucial for producing mature and mid-range chips. As the only firm capable of delivering EUV machines, ASML remains a linchpin for chipmakers like <strong>Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co.</strong>, <strong>Intel</strong> and <strong>Samsung Electronics</strong>.</p>
<p>The new sanctions block exports to 140 Chinese entities and broaden the foreign direct product rule, curbing access to critical manufacturing tools. However, agreements between the U.S., the Netherlands, and Japan exempt ASML from significant disruptions, reinforcing its strategic advantage in supplying allied nations. </p>
<p>With China unable to access the most advanced lithography systems, demand for ASML's equipment among non-Chinese manufacturers is expected to grow, especially as the U.S. and its allies ramp up domestic chipmaking capacities.</p>

<p>Investors can gain exposure to ASML by investing in the <strong>Invesco QQQ Trust, Series 1</strong> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ASML#NASDAQ">ASML</a>) and the <strong>VanEck Semiconductor ETF</strong> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMH#NASDAQ">SMH</a>).</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Is ASML A Good Stock To Buy?</h2>
<p>An investor can make a few decisions when deciding whether a stock is a good buy. In addition to valuation metrics and price action which you can find on Benzinga's quote pages  &#8211; like <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ASML">ASML Holding</a>&#8216;s page for example &#8211; there are factors like whether or not a company pays a dividend or buys a large portion of its stock each quarter.</p>
<p>These are known as capital allocation programs. ASML Holding does pay a dividend, which yields 0.85% per year as of the closing price on Dec. 3, 2024. Feel free to search Benzinga's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/dividends">dividend calendar</a> for the next company that is due to pay a dividend and determine what kind of yield you can earn for holding a share of the company.</p>
<p>For example, if you're looking to earn an annualized return of 13.81%, you'll need to buy a share of PIMCO Dynamic Income by the Dec. 12, 2024. Once done, you can expect to receive a nominal payout of $0.22 on Jan. 2, 2025.</p>
<p>Buyback programs are obviously different and highly variable. A company can approve a buyback program and purchase shares as it sees fit over the course of time in which the buyback was authorized. Looking through the latest news on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ASML">ASML Holding</a> will often yield whether or not the company has approved a buyback program recently. Buyback programs usually serve as a support for share prices, serving as a backstop for demand.</p>
<p>According to data from&nbsp;<a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro</a>, ASML has a 52-week high of $1,110.09 and a 52-week low of $645.45.</p>

What's Going On With ASML Stock This Week?

<p>Federal Reserve Governor <strong>Adriana Kugler</strong> said on Tuesday that inflation &#8220;appears to be on a sustainable path&#8221; but indicated that challenges still persist, adding that monetary &#8220;policy is not <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/interest-rates">on a preset course.&#8221;</a></p>
<p>Speaking at the Detroit Economic Club, Kugler described recent inflation readings as encouraging. Personal consumption expenditures rose 2.3% over the past year, and core PCE—the Fed&#8217;s favorite inflation gauge—increased 2.8%.</p>
<p>&#8220;I am encouraged that inflation expectations appear to remain well anchored,&#8221; she said. </p>
<p>&#8220;I viewed the elevated inflation readings as partly stemming from seasonal and one-off factors not fully accounted for in the data,&#8221; she added.</p>
<p>Kugler highlighted the Fed's recent interest rate cuts in September and November as steps toward a more neutral monetary policy stance. </p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Labor Market Shows Signs Of Cooling</strong>, Yet Hurricanes And Strikes Disrupt Statistics</h3>
<p>Kugler said monthly payroll gains have slowed, from an average of 260,000 in the first quarter to below 200,000 by midyear. </p>
<p>The unemployment rate has risen from 3.7% in January to 4.1% in October, which she described as &#8220;near the level I judge as roughly consistent with our maximum-employment mandate.&#8221;</p>
<p>Disruptions in October's employment report, including hurricanes and strikes, accounted for 100,000 to 120,000 missing jobs, with a rebound expected in the months ahead.</p>
<p>&#8220;Will see some bounce back,&#8221; she said in response to a question about the upcoming November jobs report, set to be released this Friday</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Economic Growth, Low Inflation Fueled By Productivity Gains</strong></h3>
<p>Kugler said 2024 economic growth has outpaced expectations, with GDP growth nearly doubling earlier forecasts. She attributed this to two key supply-side factors: a surge in immigration earlier in the year and higher productivity growth.</p>
<p>Revisions in September revealed that productivity growth since 2020 has averaged 1.9% annually, compared to 1.4% in the five years prior. </p>
<p>&#8220;Emerging technologies, most notably artificial intelligence, may also be starting to contribute to enhanced productivity,&#8221; she said. </p>
<p>Kugler highlighted this significant development, saying it boosts the economy's capacity for growth without overheating.</p>
<p>&#8220;My speculation was that higher productivity was a possible explanation for the unusual combination of strong economic output, a cooling labor market, and declining inflation,&#8221; she added. </p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Outlook: Risks And Flexibility</strong></h3>
<p>Kugler said she will continue to assess incoming data to determine the appropriate policy course, emphasizing that the Fed's decisions are not on a preset path. </p>
<p>She said the Fed remains vigilant for potential risks, including slowing immigration, trade policy changes, and negative supply shocks that could impact economic growth and inflation.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Market Reactions</h3>
<p>Interest rate futures saw little movement after Kugler&#8217;s remarks, with market-implied odds showing a 74% probability of a 25-basis-point rate cut at the Fed&#8217;s Dec. 18 meeting, as per the CME FedWatch tool.</p>
<p>The U.S. Dollar Index—as tracked by the <strong>Invesco DB USD Index Bullish Fund ETF</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UUP#NYSE">UUP</a>)—slightly weakened, extending session losses to negative 0.3%.</p>
<p>Large-cap U.S. stocks remained broadly flat for the day, with the <strong>S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) hovering at $603.30. </p>

This Is What Whales Are Betting On Devon Energy

<p><a href="https://investorplace.com">InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice &amp; Trading Tips</a></p>
<p><strong>Macrogenics&nbsp;</strong>(NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/mgnx-stock-quote/"><strong>MGNX</strong></a>) stock is dropping on Wednesday as the biopharmaceutical company prepares to <a href="https://www.nasdaq.com/press-release/macrogenics-provides-vobramitamab-duocarmazine-update-2024-07-30">discontinue a clinical trial</a> of vobramitamab duocarmazine.</p>



<p>This is the company&rsquo;s candidate for metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). The company has decided to no longer move forward with its TAMARACK Phase 2 study for patients who could have received additional doses.</p>



<p>Macrogenics&nbsp;is making this decision due to the primary endpoint of its study already being met. This suggestion came from the Independent Data Monitoring Committee (IDMC) of the clinical trial. It will present this data in a poster presentation in September.</p>



<p>Scott Koenig, M.D., Ph.D., president and CEO of&nbsp;MacroGenics, said the following about the news.</p>




<p>&ldquo;Patient safety is our top priority, and having reached the study&rsquo;s primary endpoint, we decided to discontinue additional dosing for the remaining TAMARACK participants who had not yet completed treatment. We expect to have the data necessary to determine next steps for the vobra duo program later this year and will provide further updates on an investor call following our ESMO presentation.&rdquo;</p>




<h2>How This Affects MGNX Stock</h2>



<p>Investors aren&rsquo;t reacting well to this news with shares of MGNX stock falling 28.2% as of Wednesday morning. The stock was also down 48.3% year-to-date when markets closed on Tuesday.</p>

Why is Macrogenics (MGNX) Stock Down 28% Today?

<p><a href="https://investorplace.com">InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice &amp; Trading Tips</a></p>
<p><strong>FibroGen&nbsp;</strong>(NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/fgen-stock-quote/"><strong>FGEN</strong></a>) stock is falling hard on Wednesday after the biopharmaceutical company <a href="https://www.nasdaq.com/press-release/fibrogen-announces-topline-results-two-late-stage-pamrevlumab-pancreatic-cancer">reported results from failed clinical trials</a>.</p>



<p>The first failed clinical trial covers the treatment of metastatic pancreatic cancer with pamrevlumab. FibroGen&nbsp;said that this didn&rsquo;t meet its primary endpoint of overall survival. This was determined based on the protocol pre-specified Bayesian statistical analysis.</p>



<p>The second failed study covered the use of pamrevlumab&nbsp;combined with gemcitabine + nab-paclitaxel to treat unresectable pancreatic cancer. Yet again, the clinical trial failed to reach its primary endpoint of overall survival.</p>



<p>These are major blows to FibroGen&nbsp;as these weren&rsquo;t early clinical trials. The metastatic pancreatic cancer trial was in the Phase 2/3 range while the unresectable pancreatic cancer one was a Phase 3 study.</p>



<p>FibroGen&nbsp;CEO Thane Wettig said the following about the clinical trial results.</p>




<p>&ldquo;We are deeply disappointed that the pamrevlumab arm in the Precision Promise trial and the LAPIS trial did not meet the primary endpoint of overall survival. We were hopeful that pamrevlumab could bring meaningful innovation to pancreatic cancer patients in desperate need of new therapies.&rdquo;</p>




<h2>What&rsquo;s Next for FGEN Stock</h2>



<p>Considering the results of these clinical trials, FibroGen&nbsp;is immediately going to go into cost-saving mode. That includes the termination of the pamrevlumab program. This will reduce its total headcount by 75%.</p>



<p>FGEN stock is down 44.4% as of Wednesday morning.</p>
