B. Riley Financial Receives Delinquency Notice From Nasdaq Indicating Co. Is Not In Compliance As A Result Of Delayed 10-K Filling

The stock market took a dive, but <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/03/44132684/cathie-woods-bold-move-8-straight-days-of-buying-beam-therapeutics-as-stock-soars-14">Cathie Wood</a> didn&#8217;t flinch. Instead of retreating, the Ark Invest CEO saw an opportunity and went on a buying spree. According to<a href="https://www.investors.com/news/cathie-wood-ark-invest-coinbase-stock-robinhood-tesla-palantir-amd-coin-hood-tsla-pltr/"> Investor&#8217;s Business Daily</a>, her firm snapped up shares of Tesla (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>), Robinhood (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HOOD#NASDAQ">HOOD</a>), Coinbase (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COIN#NASDAQ">COIN</a>), Palantir Technologies (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NYSE">PLTR</a>), and more on March 10.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Big Bets in a Turbulent Market</h2>
Investor&#8217;s Business Daily said that Ark Invest picked up 79,318 shares of Tesla, valued at $17.62 million based on Monday&#8217;s closing price of $222.15. The firm also acquired 269,864 shares of Robinhood for $9.6 million and 64,358 shares of Coinbase, worth $11.53 million.&nbsp;

</ul>
Other buys included 147,551 shares of Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>) for $14.26 million, 152,253 shares of Palantir at $11.63 million, and 485,005 shares of Beam Therapeutics (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BEAM#NASDAQ">BEAM</a>), valued at $12.46 million.
It&#8217;s a familiar strategy for Wood, who has built a reputation for &#8220;buying the dip.&#8221; She firmly believes in disruptive innovation and has placed some of her biggest bets on Tesla.&nbsp;
Wood thinks part of the recent demand dip for Tesla could result from broader fears about the economy. In a recent<a href="https://www.ark-funds.com/webinars/mar-2025-fund-webinar?utm_medium=email&amp;_hsmi=353364069&amp;utm_content=353364069&amp;utm_source=hs_email"> Ark Invest webinar</a>, she said, &#8220;Now, clearly, the political dynamics of the last few months are hitting demand; we also would suggest that the economic outlook is hitting demand—not just for Tesla—but for all auto manufacturers.&#8221;&nbsp;
Trending: BlackRock is calling 2025 the year of alternative assets. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/masterworks">One firm from NYC has quietly built a group of 60,000+ investors who have all joined in on an alt asset class previously exclusive to billionaires like Bezos and Gates.</a>
Despite the stock&#8217;s 31% decline this year and a growing list of challenges, Wood has maintained a bullish outlook. She told <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-03-25/cathie-wood-sticks-with-tesla-predicts-stock-will-hit-2-600">Bloomberg TV</a> that Tesla&#8217;s price could soar over the next five years.
Tesla has been at the center of controversy for months. Since Elon Musk&#8217;s closer ties with the Trump administration, the electric vehicle company has faced public protests, boycotts, and even vandalism.&nbsp;
Musk&#8217;s role as an advisor to the Department of Government Efficiency has drawn criticism, with some accusing the CEO of shifting the company into politically charged territory.

The turmoil has had financial consequences. Tesla&#8217;s stock has been on a downward trend, while competitors, particularly China&#8217;s BYD, have continued to gain market share. According to <a href="https://edition.cnn.com/2025/03/20/business/even-used-teslas-are-falling-out-of-favor/index.html">CNN</a>, Tesla vehicles&#8217; resale value has also dropped over the past month.
Amid the backlash, President Donald Trump publicly backed Musk. He said on <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/114141854575248527">Truth Social </a>that he would buy a Tesla, calling it a &#8220;show of confidence&#8221; in the company. The move follows a broader effort by Trump&#8217;s administration to support Tesla.&nbsp;
Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, the commerce secretary, encouraged Americans to invest in the company.&nbsp;
&#8220;I think if you want to learn something on this show tonight, buy <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/03/44209579/unprecedented-slide-tesla-sales-plummet-45-in-europe-as-musks-net-worth-dives-5-2b-in-a-week">Tesla</a>. It&#8217;s unbelievable that this guy&#8217;s stock is this cheap. It&#8217;ll never be this cheap again,&#8221; ​he told Fox News on March 19.

Marijuana Stock Movers For April 4, 2025

This week, the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/cannabis-industry">cannabis industry</a> saw a flurry of activity, from strategic mergers and robust financial reports to product launches and key regulatory developments.
Major players are repositioning themselves through acquisitions and leadership transitions while innovative products and partnerships are driving growth in consumer markets. Meanwhile, legal and policy debates continue to shape the future of cannabis regulation both domestically and abroad.
Here's a comprehensive roundup of the top news shaping the cannabis landscape.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Corporate Moves And Financial Results</h2>
Organigram Global Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OGI#NASDAQ">OGI</a>) made headlines with its acquisition of Collective Project Limited for an upfront C$6.2 million, with additional contingent payments that could bring the total consideration up to C$24 million. The deal marks Organigram's first commercial entry into the fast-growing hemp‑derived THC beverage market in the U.S. and accelerates its move into Canada's emerging cannabis beverage category. CEO Beena Goldenberg explained, "The acquisition of Collective Project marks yet another strategic milestone towards Organigram's global leadership ambitions."
Canopy Growth Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CGC#NASDAQ">CGC</a>) announced an optional early prepayment on its senior secured term loan—settling $100 million at a discounted price of $97.5 million. CFO Judy Hong stated, "Canopy has further improved its balance sheet with this early prepayment by reducing our overall debt position as well as lowering annual interest costs." This transaction ensures that the company has no material debt until September 2027.
Grown Rogue International Inc. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GRUSF#OTC">GRUSF</a>) reported strong fourth‑quarter and full‑year 2024 results with revenue increasing 16% to $27.0 million and adjusted EBITDA rising 27% compared to the previous period. The company, which received licensing approval in New Jersey and expanded its Michigan operations, sees continued growth in competitive markets despite pricing pressures. CEO Obie Strickler emphasized the team's relentless focus on cost controls and yield improvements.
AYR Wellness Inc. (OTCQX:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AYRWF#OTCQX">AYRWF</a>) announced a leadership transition with Steven M. Cohen stepping down as Interim CEO and Scott Davido taking over the role. "We appreciate Steven's willingness to stay on as an advisor as we continue to execute on our strategic initiatives," said Chairman Louis Karger. Cohen added, "I have appreciated the opportunity to lead AYR over the past few months and I do so with the utmost confidence that AYR is in the right hands."
Other significant updates include:
<ul>
<li>MediPharm Labs Corp. (OTCQB:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MEDIF#OTCQB">MEDIF</a>) posted a robust 2024 with net revenue up 27% to $42 million and gross profit improving to $12.8 million. The company also achieved an 81% improvement in its adjusted EBITDA loss.</li>
<li>IM Cannabis Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IMCC#NASDAQ">IMCC</a>) reported a 25% increase in Q4 revenue, a return to profit on adjusted EBITDA and robust performance driven by accelerated growth in its German operations.</li>
<li>Chicago Atlantic BDC, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LIEN#NASDAQ">LIEN</a>), formerly Silver Spike Investment Corp., delivered its first earnings report after completing a strategic acquisition of a diversified loan portfolio, with net investment income of $8.0 million and a NAV per share of $13.20.</li>
<li>Innocan Pharma Corporation (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INNPF#OTC">INNPF</a>) revealed that its full‑year 2024 revenues surged by 114.6% to US$29.4 million, while its gross profit increased by 118.6% to US$26.2 million.</li>
<li>Jones Soda Co. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JSDA#NASDAQ">JSDA</a>) reported Q4 revenue falling to $2.8 million and a net loss of $4.6 million, driven by a $1.2 million inventory write‑off and declining sales volumes.</li>
<li>Rubicon Organics Inc. (OTCQX:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ROMJF#OTCQX">ROMJF</a>) celebrated record high net revenue of $48.7 million in 2024, achieving an adjusted EBITDA gain of $4.0 million and securing a $10 million credit facility to support expansion plans.</li>
</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Product Launches And Brand Expansions</h2>
Consumer offerings continue to expand in Illinois. Grön (The Mother of All Edibles), founded by Christine Apple, launched its cannabis‑infused edibles—including Sugar‑Coated Pearls, MEGAs and Chocolate Mini Bars—exclusively at Curaleaf dispensaries beginning in April 2025. "We are thrilled to finally bring our products to the millions of cannabis consumers in Illinois," said Apple.
Meanwhile, MariMed Inc. (CSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRMD#CSE">MRMD</a>, OTCQX:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRMD#OTCQX">MRMD</a>) introduced its Nature's Heritage line, featuring premium cannabis flower, pre‑rolls and vapes. The launch follows the opening of its Mt. Vernon, Illinois cultivation facility and marks the brand's debut in the state, with products now available in approximately 82% of Illinois dispensaries.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Legal, Regulatory And Policy Developments</h2>
Recent legal and regulatory developments continue to drive debate. In regulatory news, the U.S. Supreme Court sided with a trucker who was fired after testing positive for THC—allegedly after consuming a hemp‑derived CBD product. The decision, reported by <a href="https://www.marijuanamoment.net/supreme-court-sides-with-trucker-who-was-fired-over-thc-test-following-use-of-cbd-product/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Marijuana Moment</a>, allows the trucker to seek triple damages under a federal anti‑racketeering law.
On the policy front, extensive analysis of the federal cannabis rescheduling debate reveals that moving cannabis from Schedule I to Schedule III would offer only modest benefits while leaving longstanding racial disparities and federal–state conflicts unresolved. A <a href="https://www.yalelawjournal.org/forum/decriminalizing-cannabis?utm_source=www.cultivated.news&amp;utm_medium=newsletter&amp;utm_campaign=states-that-will-lead-legal-weed-according-to-an-economist&amp;_bhlid=785740b498442d4fe25a0f0dc08d20cf6613e6d3" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Yale Law Journal forum article</a> argues for decriminalization and deregulation instead of rescheduling.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Federal Policy And Administration Developments</h2>
A recent article by <a href="https://www.marijuanamoment.net/marijuana-rescheduling-isnt-on-the-white-houses-new-list-of-top-drug-policy-priorities-under-the-trump-administration/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Marijuana Moment</a> highlights that cannabis rescheduling is not among the Trump administration's top drug policy priorities. Instead, the administration is focusing on combating drug trafficking and the opioid crisis. While Trump had previously voiced support for cannabis rescheduling and medical cannabis legalization during his 2024 campaign, his current policy priorities emphasize enforcement against substances such as fentanyl, methamphetamines and heroin. This shift underscores the challenges and federal-state conflicts that continue to shape cannabis policy in the U.S.

This Week In Cannabis: Trump Policy Updates, Corporate Moves, Regulatory Shifts And Product Innovations

'Meta Plans Nearly $1 Billion Data Center Project In Wisconsin' - Bloomberg

Global markets plunged in the first week of the new quarter after President Donald Trump announced sweeping new tariffs on Wednesday—an event <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44616760/donald-trump-sets-reciprocal-tariffs-on-key-trade-partners-in-historic-policy-shock">he dubbed "Liberation Day."</a>
Trump unveiled a set of retaliatory tariffs with differentiated rates depending on the trading partner. The announcement sparked backlash from analysts, who criticized the methodology and raised fears of retaliation <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44647999/trumps-tariff-war-could-take-us-tech-industry-back-a-decade-while-china-steam-rolls-ahead-analyst-says">from global trade partners.</a>
China, the country with which the U.S. has the largest trade deficit, was hit with a steep 34% tariff, prompting Beijing to respond with similar countermeasures by the end of the week. The escalation marked the beginning of a new global trade war between the world's two largest economies.
Other key trading partners were also targeted: the European Union faced a 20% tariff, Japan 24%, and India 26%. Canada and Mexico were spared, as long as their exports complied with USMCA provisions.
The surprise severity of the measures sent shockwaves through markets, surpassing even the most pessimistic forecasts. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/04/44645518/strong-jobs-report-offers-hope-but-will-it-be-enough-to-counter-tariff-turmoil">A strong March jobs report</a> offered little reassurance to investors, who remain focused on the looming economic fallout from rising tariffs.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Trillions Of Wealth Evaporates As Stocks Crash </h3>
Trillions of dollars in market value were wiped <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/04/44631916/wall-street-wipes-out-2-trillion-apple-eyes-worst-day-since-covid-19-pandemic-oil-plummets-whats-driving-markets-thursday">out from Wall Street</a>. 
The S&amp;P 500 Index recorded its worst weekly decline since March 2020, when markets were devastated by the onset of COVID-19 lockdowns.
With the S&amp;P 500 plunging 10.5% over Thursday and Friday, this marks only the fourth time such a sharp two-day drawdown has occurred in modern market history—joining October 1987, September 2008, March 2020, and now April 2025.
The Nasdaq 100 plunged more than 20% from its February all-time high, officially <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/04/44647678/nasdaq-100-enters-bear-market-dow-in-correction-territory-as-traders-anxiously-await-powell-remarks">entering bear market territory.</a>
Mega-cap tech stocks led the rout, with Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) posting its worst two-day drop since October 2008. 
Financial stocks also suffered steep losses, with double-digit declines across JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>), Citigroup Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/C#NYSE">C</a>), Bank of America Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAC#NYSE">BAC</a>), and others.
Oil prices bore the brunt of the sell-off. Crude dropped 10% on the week, hitting a four-year low, pressured by weakening demand expectations and a surprise announcement from OPEC+. The cartel disclosed plans for a larger-than-expected production hike starting in May, raising fears of an oversupply in global energy markets.
On Friday, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell failed to soothe market concerns, reiterating "no hurry" on interest rate cuts and highlighting that the new <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/04/44648681/powell-cites-tariff-driven-inflation-risks-shrugs-off-trumps-call-for-perfect-time-to-cut-rates">tariffs could fuel inflation.</a>
Meanwhile, Trump continued to publicly pressure the central bank, stating that now is the "perfect time" to lower interest rates.
Also on Friday, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent defended the tariff plan, attributing the roots of the market collapse instead to China's DeepSeek AI breakthrough.

Trump Tariffs Trigger Wall Street Bloodbath, S&P 500 Notches Worst Weekly Drop Since 2020: This Week In Markets

Several exemptions exist among President Donald Trump&#8216;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44621408/market-access-has-a-price-trump-unveils-list-of-tariffs-countries-targeted" target="_blank" rel="noopener">broad tariffs</a>, which were announced on Wednesday. 
The biopharma industry has historically been shielded from tariffs, including during Trump&#8217;s first term. Given its significant manufacturing presence in Europe, investors had feared global tariffs could disrupt the sector.
Morningstar <a href="https://www.morningstar.com/stocks/biopharma-industry-exempt-global-10-tariff-we-still-see-margin-tax-rate-risks" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reports</a> that with the U.S. importing approximately $200 billion in pharmaceuticals in 2024, a 10% tariff could have cost the industry $20 billion, with some of the largest firms facing annual tariffs of up to $1 billion.

Goldman Sachs expects continued volatility in the biotechnology sector (XBI and S&amp;P 500 are down about 14% and 7% year-to-date, respectively), driven by broader economic <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/04/44631606/trumps-tariff-exemptions-include-semiconductors-pharmaceuticals-oil-and-more" rel="noreferrer noopener">uncertainty and unclear healthcare policy</a>.
Analyst Salveen Richter has analyzed geographic exposure and tax rates for individual companies and sees Vertex Pharmaceuticals Incorporated (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VRTX#NASDAQ">VRTX</a>) and Alnylam Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ALNY#NASDAQ">ALNY</a>) in the strongest position, followed by Gilead Sciences Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GILD#NASDAQ">GILD</a>), Amgen Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMGN#NASDAQ">AMGN</a>) and Biogen Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BIIB#NASDAQ">BIIB</a>).
Regeneron Pharmaceuticals Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/REGN#NASDAQ">REGN</a>) raises some concerns due to its significant presence in Ireland. If tariffs are applied, they would likely increase the cost of goods sold since companies often import ingredients or finished products into the U.S.
Analyst Richter adds that <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/AMGN" rel="noreferrer noopener">Amgen</a>, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ALNY" rel="noreferrer noopener">Alnylam</a>, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/BIIB" rel="noreferrer noopener">Biogen</a>, and <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/REGN" rel="noreferrer noopener">Regeneron</a> are the least exposed to Medicaid risk.
Goldman Sachs said Friday that it&#8217;s been hard to measure the exact impact of potential tariffs on U.S. biopharma due to limited public data on where drugs are made.
Their analysis shows limited manufacturing exposure to Canada, Mexico and China. Pharmaceuticals from Canada and Mexico are also likely exempt under the USMCA trade deal. However, some companies do rely heavily on manufacturing in the EU.
If tariffs are placed on drugs made outside the U.S. and kept in place, they could raise manufacturing costs. Companies often import ingredients or finished products before selling them in the U.S. Some manufacturers are reportedly speeding up shipments from Europe out of concern that tariffs may apply to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/25/03/44440233/pharmaceutical-firms-say-uk-investment-is-unlikely-unless-payment-levy-is-adressed" target="_blank" rel="noopener">those products,</a><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/25/03/44440233/pharmaceutical-firms-say-uk-investment-is-unlikely-unless-payment-levy-is-adressed" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> too</a>.
Goldman Sachs is also watching for exceptions or phased rollouts, pointing to a similar eight-year grace period in the Biosecure Act.
Still, the analyst writes that biopharma companies are generally resilient due to their high profit margins and globally spread operations.
Companies that produce small-molecule drugs might handle a U.S. manufacturing shift better than those making biologics since small molecules require less complex production.
Senator Ron Wyden has raised concerns about Pfizer Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PFE#NYSE">PFE</a>) and Merck &amp; Co Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRK#NYSE">MRK</a>) using offshore setups to reduce U.S. taxes.

To <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/03/44533852/what-would-buffett-do-with-markets-inches-away-from-the-extreme-fear-zone-is-it-finally-time-to-be-greedy">paraphrase</a> legendary investor Warren Buffett, a market participant should acquire shares of good companies that find themselves in temporarily bad circumstances. 
Under this framework, consumer technology giant Apple Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) ought to rank as a tremendous buying opportunity amid the Wall Street bloodbath. Long-term data suggests that it is indeed an opportunity — but as a trader, timing matters.
Following the close of the midweek session, President Donald Trump announced <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44613907/tariff-shock-incoming-as-trump-prepares-sweeping-trade-duties-what-traders-need-to-know">sweeping new trade tariffs</a>, an event he termed "Liberation Day." The initiative is a symbolic push to tackle the ballooning U.S. trade deficit <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/tariffs">with major global partners</a>. Unfortunately, the levies were steeper than analysts expected, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/04/44631916/wall-street-wipes-out-2-trillion-apple-eyes-worst-day-since-covid-19-pandemic-oil-plummets-whats-driving-markets-thursday">sending shockwaves through global markets</a> on Thursday.
Even as the Street digested the news and the broader implications, one day of extreme volatility wasn't enough, with Friday being subjected to another crimson tide. Prominent <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/market-summary/25/04/44643100/us-stocks-likely-to-open-lower-after-the-worst-selloff-since-2020-tariff-announcement-was-100-smoot-hawley-disguised-as-thoughtful-policy-says-expert">experts voiced their displeasure</a> at the tariffs, warning about severe consequences stemming from decelerated economic activity.
Still, amid the social media uproar, there was one point that stood out. Creative Planning Chief Market Strategist Charlie Bilello remarked that while the VIX or the so-called fear index reached its highest closing level since August 2024, the S&amp;P 500 has historically delivered "higher than average" returns following significant surges in volatility.
Since Apple stock is a benchmark security — leveraging a tremendous influence on both the tech ecosystem and the wider equities space — it stands to reason that its present volatility is a long-term buying opportunity. After all, one wouldn't naturally expect a giant like Apple to be permanently deflated.
From a patient investor's perspective, the red ink serves as a potential time machine — a chance to hop on the train that was previously missed. But from a trader's perspective, diving into Applr stock now may not be the most prudent decision.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">The Death Cross in AAPL Stock is Warning First, Then Opportunity</h1>
To be sure, opportunistic traders will find it difficult to avoid reacting greedily to the hemorrhaging. Adding to the contrarian fervor, Apple stock is on the absolute cusp of printing the dreaded <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/technicals/25/04/44629335/apple-stock-slammed-by-trump-tariffs-is-a-death-cross-next">death cross</a> — a technical sign when a security's 50-day moving average crosses below its 200 DMA.
On paper, the death cross represents a warning, marking the beginning of a serious downcycle or even an outright bear market. For many investors, it may symbolize the last chance to exit shares or take protective measures through advanced options strategies before further volatility erupts.
On the other hand, there's also the contrarian thought process that when the death cross flashes, much (if not most) of the bad news has already been baked in. Therefore, it's possible, if not likely, that the technical indicator could be a buying signal.
Here's the thing about Apple stock: while its death cross statistically represents a compelling buying opportunity, in the near term, the indicator should be interpreted at face value.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/04150515/AAPL-stock-death-cross-returns-1024x576.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-858378" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/04150515/AAPL-stock-death-cross-returns-1024x576.jpg 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/04150515/AAPL-stock-death-cross-returns-300x169.jpg 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/04150515/AAPL-stock-death-cross-returns-768x432.jpg 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/04150515/AAPL-stock-death-cross-returns.jpg 1280w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Image by author</figcaption></figure>
More specifically, over the past decade, Apple stock printed five death crosses. Sure enough, three months to one year removed from this negative intersection, Apple has swung higher across these time intervals four out of five times (or 80%). However, at the one-month mark following the death cross, Apple has only risen one time — meaning that the failure rate pops to 80%.
From a statistical wide angle, it's difficult to analyze how Apple stock will respond given that extreme volatility is rare. Right now, the equity is on the verge of losing about 12% in the trailing five sessions. The last time Apple lost double-digit percentage points in a one-week period was in April 2016.
Pulling up a historical chart, one can see that the volatile event that took place a decade ago took several months to recover. And that's the lesson the death cross is broadcasting: yes, it is a buying opportunity but not right now.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Switch Hitting for the Agnostic Trader</h1>
Being a successful trader requires not being married to a specific direction and that's the opportunity available in Apple stock. With the current flashing of the death cross likely to result in near-term volatility, aggressive traders may first want to consider the 195/190 bear put spread for the options chain expiring May 2.
The above transaction involves buying the $195 put (at a time-of-writing ask of $1,225) and simultaneously selling the $190 put (at a bid of $970). Subsequently, the proceeds from the short put partially offset the debit paid for the long put, resulting in a net cash outlay of $255.
Should Apple fall to or below the short strike price at expiration, the maximum reward is the difference between the strike prices (multiplied by 100 shares) minus the cash outlay or $245 (a payout of 96%). This trade plays off the fact that the average one-month loss (assuming only the negative scenario) following the death cross is 1.06%.
For long-side traders, patience may be required. One compelling idea that stands out is the 215/220 bull call spread for the options chain expiring July 18. This trade plays on the rebound effect of the death cross while also respecting the time component. Executing this trade requires buying the $215 call and simultaneously selling the $220 call, with the aim that Apple will hit this latter price at expiration.

Roche Holdings AG (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RHHBY#OTC">RHHBY</a>) on Thursday presented new data at the AD/PD 2025 International Conference on Alzheimer&#8217;s <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/health-care" rel="noreferrer noopener">and Parkinson&#8217;s Diseases</a>.
Highlights included presentations from the ongoing trontinemab Phase 1b/2a Brainshuttle AD study, which <a target="_blank" href="https://www.roche.com/media/releases/med-cor-2025-04-03" rel="noreferrer noopener">demonstrated</a> dose-dependent rapid amyloid depletion from the brain and the potential of the Elecsys pTau181 plasma test to rule out amyloid pathology.

<ul>
<li>Preliminary results for trontinemab from 114 participants in the 1.8 or 3.6 mg/kg suggest a rapid and deep, dose-dependent reduction of amyloid plaques in the brain as measured by amyloid positron emission tomography (PET).</li>
<li>Amyloid plaques are extracellular deposits of aggregated amyloid beta peptides (Aβ) that are a hallmark of Alzheimer&#8217;s disease, disrupting brain function and contributing to cognitive decline.</li>
<li>Trontinemab reduced amyloid levels below the 24 centiloid threshold in 81% of participants (n=21/26) in the 3.6 mg/kg dose group after 28 weeks.</li>
<li>These data were reinforced by early and significant reductions in fluid biomarkers of Alzheimer&#8217;s disease, including total tau, phosphorylated Tau (pTau)181, pTau217, and neurogranin measured in cerebrospinal fluid and plasma.</li>
</ul>
Trontinemab continues to show a favorable safety and tolerability profile. Amyloid-related imaging abnormalities-edema/effusion (ARIA-E) were observed in &lt;5% (n=3/114) of participants (blinded data), which were radiographically mild, and there was one case associated with mild symptoms.
Trontinemab is currently being studied in the Phase Ib/IIa Brainshuttle AD study assessing the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of trontinemab in participants with Alzheimer&#8217;s disease.
Roche also announced that it would initiate a Phase 3 program for trontinemab, which is expected later this year.
Results from 604 participants in a multicentre study of Roche&#8217;s Elecsys pTau181 plasma test were presented, demonstrating its potential to accurately rule out amyloid pathology, a hallmark of Alzheimer&#8217;s disease, in people with cognitive impairment.
Roche anticipates tests being available in Europe by late 2025, with the U.S. following.
Price Action: RHHBY stock closed lower by 4.37% to $37.65 on Friday.
