Once part of Novartis, Sandoz spun off and went public in October 2023. Generics, including small molecules and complex injectables, make up roughly 75% of Sandoz's total sales, and the firm has a significant presence in Europe, the United States, and other key international markets. Sandoz generates its remaining sales from biosimilars and is among leaders in the space. Sandoz launched Europe's first biosimilar, Omnitrope, in 2006 as well as the first US biosimilar, Zarxio, in 2015. It currently has eight commercialized biosimilars in a number of markets and has over 20 assets in its pipeline.

European leaders have doubled down on their support for Volodymyr Zelenskyy after the Ukrainian president's meeting with Trump ended in bitter disagreement.
Trump and Vice President JD Vance criticized Zelenskyy in the White House&#8217;s Oval Office, pointing out that Zelenskyy did not appreciate American military support. Their differences played out live on TV on Friday.
European leaders called on the Ukrainian leader to "be strong, be brave, be fearless." The European Union's top diplomat, Kaja Kallas, said it's "clear that the free world needs a new leader" after the unusually explosive meeting.
European support for Zelenskyy has exposed a significant divide with Washington as the Russo-Ukraine war enters its fourth year. Trump wants a peace treaty negotiated with Russian President Vladimir Putin and for Europe to do more than express emotional support for Ukraine.

"The excessively emotional and hypocritical outcry from Europe over Ukraine has become unbearable," Velina Tchakarova, a Geopolitical Strategist, wrote on X on Sunday. "These empty platitudes are crafted to provoke the right emotional reactions rather than to drive meaningful action."
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">US-Ukraine Divide Deepens Despite European Support for Zelenskyy</h2>
The divide between Trump and Zelenskyy has undermined US efforts for a peace agreement. Trump wanted a minerals' deal that he thought would have economically bound the US and Ukraine together "for a generation."
It involved critical minerals, investment, and commitments from the UK and France to put "boots on the ground," White House National Security Advisor Mike Waltz said on Monday during an interview with Fox News.
The White House viewed the agreement as a step toward &#8220;ending the war and stopping the destruction,&#8221; Waltz said.
But the last 10 minutes of the nearly 45-minute White House meeting derailed the deal, undermining ties between the two countries. Trump was frustrated and angry because it's unclear if Zelenskyy "truly wants to stop the fighting," Waltz said.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Zelenskyy Reiterates Need for US Security Guarantee</h2>
The Ukrainian president had urged in the White House meeting skepticism about Russian President Vladimir Putin's commitment to diplomacy. He called for US security commitments, while wearing military-style black sweatshirt, adorned with the Ukrainian trident.
"What should have been a photo opportunity before a substantive discussion became a disaster that has weakened Ukraine at this critical juncture," Andrew A. Michta, a senior fellow at Atlantic Council&#8217;s Scowcroft Center for Strategy and Security, wrote on X.
"It is unlikely that the Trump administration will now engage with Zelensky as their interlocutor."
Zelenskyy reiterated his message about a US security guarantee on Monday.
"Everyone is united on the main issue – for peace to be real, we need real security guarantees," Zelenskyy said on X. "We understand the importance of America, and we are grateful for all the support we've received from the United States."
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">European Leaders Support Ukraine With Aid Pledges, Peace Plan</h2>
After being asked to leave the White House, Zelenskyy flew to London. He met British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, who pledged a loan of £2.26 billion for military supplies backed by profits from frozen Russian assets.
Starmer then held a Ukraine summit on Sunday with 16 leaders and representatives from NATO and the EU. He tried to rally his European counterparts to support Ukraine and emphasized the need for a &#8220;just and lasting peace&#8221; that ensures Ukraine's sovereignty.
"We are doubling down," Starmer said at the summit's end. He also announced a $2 billion in British export financing for Ukraine to purchase air defense missiles manufactured in Belfast.
However, European policymakers criticized Trump's position on Ukraine before the meeting. Trump has accused Zelenskyy of starting the war and being a "dictator without elections."
Friedrich Merz, the leader of Germany's Christian Democratic Union and likely next Chancellor <a href="https://europeancapitalinsights.substack.com/p/germany-merz-confronts-tense-us-ties?r=3nmatg">after elections on February 23</a>, said that Trump's statements were "shocking." They amounted to "a classic case of switching the perpetrator with the victim," he said.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">UK, France Working Together On Ukraine Peace Deal</h2>
Starmer used the summit as part of a broader effort to bridge the gap between Europe and the US. He wanted to salvage what had seemed like the start of a peace process before Friday's spat.
Starmer said he worked with French President Emmanuel Macron on a comprehensive peace plan to implement an immediate cessation of hostilities to facilitate negotiations. They want to unite nations committed to providing military support, including deploying peacekeeping forces, to uphold any peace agreement.
So far, though, Europe has struggled to develop a coherent Ukraine policy. Zelenskyy <a target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.dw.com/de/selenskyj-warnt-vor-m%C3%B6glichen-russischen-angriffen-in-europa/a-71621341">called </a>Europe "to come together and act in such a way that no one can say no to Europe, boss it around or treat it like a weakling.&#8221;
"But what has Europe actually accomplished?," Jeroen Blokland, founder of the Netherlands-based Blokland Smart Multi-Asset Fund, asked on <a target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://x.com/jsblokland/status/1895834033495376351">X</a>. "This war has dragged on for more than three years, and during that time, European politicians have failed to bring the parties involved to the negotiating table in any meaningful way."
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">US Officials See Zelenskyy As Obstacle to Peace</h2>
Before the fallout at the White House, Starmer and Macron had pushed a European-led peace agreement.
On February 24, Macron stressed in Washington the necessity of US security reassurances for Ukraine. He said that France and the UK were considering a plan to deploy troops to Ukraine, which Russia has opposed.
According to the proposal, the US would provide air cover, intelligence and logistics to deter Russia from launching another invasion. Germany called the idea "premature." Poland is opposed to the deployment of troops to Ukraine.
Any deal will ultimately rely on Zelenskyy.
"Zelensky's supporters in the West should be urging him to seek a diplomatic off-ramp," David Sacks, tech founder and White House A. &amp; Crypto Czar, wrote on <a href="https://x.com/DavidSacks/status/1895971755648233940" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">X</a>. "Certainly they should stop catering to his unrealistic and maximalist demands."

Verizon and Accenture Partner to Expand Cybersecurity Services and Strengthen Business Protections

F5 Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FFIV#NASDAQ">FFIV</a>) has announced an expansion of its partnership with NVIDIA Corp., introducing the integration of BIG-IP Next Cloud-Native Network Functions (CNFs) on NVIDIA BlueField-3 Data Processing Units (DPUs).
The partnership focuses on deploying F5&#8217;s network infrastructure solutions such as edge firewalls, DNS, and DDoS protection through lightweight, cloud-native functions powered by NVIDIA&#8217;s BlueField-3 DPUs.
By placing CNFs at the edge, the arrangement aims to bring applications closer to end-users, reducing latency and boosting performance in industries reliant on real-time decision-making.
&#8220;Customers are seeking cost-effective ways to bring the benefits of&nbsp;unified application delivery and security&nbsp;to emerging AI infrastructures, driving continued collaboration between F5 and NVIDIA,&#8221; said Ahmed Guetari, VP and GM, Service Provider at F5.

&#8220;In particular, service providers see the edge as an area of rising interest, in that data ingest and inferencing no longer must take place at a centralized location or cloud environment, opening up myriad options to add intelligence and automation capabilities to networks while enhancing performance for users.&#8221;
It also tackles the challenge of scaling AI across distributed environments, especially where legacy systems fall short of handling AI workloads&#8217; computational requirements.
F5&#8217;s Application Delivery and Security Platform plays a crucial role in powering the majority of Tier-1 telecom networks globally, supporting both mobile and fixed-line services.
The new infrastructure, powered by F5&#8217;s CNFs and NVIDIA&#8217;s hardware acceleration, will also strengthen security features like firewall protection and DDoS mitigation, while enhancing connectivity for both AI workloads and traditional RAN services.
F5 BIG-IP Next CNFs deployed on NVIDIA BlueField-3 DPUs are expected to be available by June 2025.
Price Action: FFIV shares traded lower by 0.49% at $291.01 last check Monday.

Are You Prepared for Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs) as a Married Couple?
Retirement should be about enjoying your hard-earned savings, not worrying about surprise tax bills. But if you and your spouse have tax-deferred accounts like IRAs or 401(k)s, you may need to be prepared for Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs). Getting this wrong could mean paying unnecessary taxes—or worse, facing steep IRS penalties.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">When Do RMDs Start for Married Couples?</h3>
The IRS requires individuals to begin RMDs from most retirement accounts at age 73 (or 75 for those born in 1960 or later, under the SECURE 2.0 Act). But if you&#8217;re married, does that rule apply to both of you at the same time?
The short answer: No. Each spouse&#8217;s RMDs are calculated separately based on their own accounts and birthdates.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">RMD Rules for Married Couples—What You Need to Know</h3>
<ul>
<li>If both spouses have their own IRAs or 401(k)s and have reached RMD age, each must take RMDs based on their respective balances and IRS life expectancy factors.</li>
<li>If only one spouse has reached RMD age while the other has not, only the older spouse is required to take withdrawals.</li>
<li>If you are the sole beneficiary of your spouse's IRA and they pass away, special spousal rollover options may allow you to delay or adjust distributions to minimize taxes.</li>
</ul>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Does a Younger Spouse Change Your RMDs?</h3>
When your spouse is more than 10 years younger, yes! If your spouse is over 10 years younger than you and is listed as your sole primary beneficiary. In that case, the IRS may allow you to use a different life expectancy table to calculate RMDs. This can lower your withdrawal amount, helping you potentially keep more money in retirement instead of losing it to taxes.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Avoiding Common RMD Mistakes</h3>
<ol>
<li>Missing Your RMD Deadline – Forgetting to take your RMD results in a 25% penalty on the amount you should have withdrawn.</li>
<li>Not Considering Tax Impact – RMDs count as taxable income, potentially pushing you into a higher tax bracket.</li>
<li>Taking the Wrong Amount – Each spouse must calculate and withdraw their own RMDs. You cannot combine withdrawals to meet requirements.</li>
</ol>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">How RMDs Impact Your Taxable Income</h3>
RMDs are considered ordinary income, which means they are taxed at your regular income tax rate. This additional income may push you into a higher tax bracket, potentially increasing the amount you owe to the IRS. For example, if your other sources of income—such as Social Security, pensions, or investment earnings—already place you near the threshold of a higher tax bracket, adding RMDs could result in a significantly larger tax bill. Additionally, a higher taxable income can trigger extra costs, such as increased Medicare premiums (IRMAA surcharges) and higher taxes on your Social Security benefits. Strategic tax planning may be able to better help mitigate these effects and potentially keep more of your money working for you. Groups like Oxford <a href="https://oxfordadvisorygroup.com/">Advisory </a>Group focus on RMDs and retirement tax and may be a resource for further information on your situation.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">How Much Will Your RMDs Cost You in Taxes?</h3>
Many retirees are shocked by the tax impact of RMDs. The good news? Smart planning may help you better understand how to potentially minimize taxes and keep more of your money.

Viehbacher, "Biogen")) announced today that the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) of Australia has confirmed the initial decision to decline the approval of humanized anti-soluble aggregated amyloid-beta (Aβ) monoclonal antibody lecanemab (generic name) as a treatment for early Alzheimer's disease (AD) (mild cognitive impairment due to AD and mild AD dementia). In October 2024, the TGA made the decision not to register lecanemab in Australia for the treatment of patients with early AD. In December 2024, Eisai requested reconsideration of the decision, proposing to the TGA the same apolipoprotein E4 (ApoE4) noncarrier and heterozygote indication that was agreed by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) and European Medicines Agency (EMA). In the course of the reconsideration of the initial decision, the TGA proposed an alternative narrow therapeutic indication only for ApoE4 noncarriers as an increasing number of ApoE4 alleles is a potential risk factor for ARIA. They did not agree that safety has been established for ApoE4 heterozygotes. Eisai proposed alternative indications, one of which was to maintain the ApoE4 noncarrier and heterozygote indication, but with heterozygotes treated in specialist centers and supervised by physicians with expertise in treatment of AD and monitoring for ARIA; however, the TGA rejected our proposal.

<h3>Comparing Nomad Foods P/E Against Its Peers</h3>
The P/E ratio measures the current share price to the company's EPS. It is used by long-term investors to analyze the company's current performance against it's past earnings, historical data and aggregate market data for the industry or the indices, such as S&amp;P 500. A higher P/E indicates that investors expect the company to perform better in the future, and the stock is probably overvalued, but not necessarily. It also could indicate that investors are willing to pay a higher share price currently, because they expect the company to perform better in the upcoming quarters. This leads investors to also remain optimistic about rising dividends in the future. 
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of the 24.4 in the Food Products industry, Nomad Foods Inc. has a lower P/E ratio of 14.53. Shareholders might be inclined to think that the stock might perform worse than it's industry peers. It's also possible that the stock is undervalued.

In summary, while the price-to-earnings ratio is a valuable tool for investors to evaluate a company's market performance, it should be used with caution. A low P/E ratio can be an indication of undervaluation, but it can also suggest weak growth prospects or financial instability. Moreover, the P/E ratio is just one of many metrics that investors should consider when making investment decisions, and it should be evaluated alongside other financial ratios, industry trends, and qualitative factors. By taking a comprehensive approach to analyzing a company's financial health, investors can make well-informed decisions that are more likely to lead to successful outcomes.
