What's Going On With Pinterest Shares Friday?

The biopharmaceutical sector showed signs of recovery in the third quarter of 2024, fueled by increased investor optimism following the U.S. Federal Reserve&#8217;s interest rate cuts in September. 
According to GlobalData, the top 20 global biopharmaceutical companies <a href="https://www.globaldata.com/media/business-fundamentals/top-20-global-biopharmaceutical-companies-witness-2-growth-in-market-capitalization-in-q3-2024-reveals-globaldata/#:~:text=As%20a%20result%2C%20the%20top,data%20analytics%20and%20research%20company.">saw</a> a 2% rise in their combined market capitalization, reaching $4.3 trillion by the end of September, up from $4.2 trillion in June. 
This rebound highlights the industry&#8217;s potential for growth despite challenges earlier in the year.
Bristol-Myers Squibb &amp; Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BMY#NYSE">BMY</a>) led the market with the largest increase in capitalization, which surged by 24.6% to $105 billion. This was largely driven by advancements in its pipeline, notably the FDA&#8217;s approval of its antipsychotic drug, Cobenfy, for treating <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/09/41064867/schizophrenia-treatment-revolution-fda-approves-bristol-myers-squibb-cobenfy-as-new-class-of-trea">schizophrenia in September 2024</a>. 
Gilead Sciences Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GILD#NASDAQ">GILD</a>) also <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/11/41819570/hiv-drugmaker-gilead-reports-strongest-quarterly-performance-of-2024-analysts-boost">posted impressive growth</a>, rising 22.1% in market value, thanks to the accelerated FDA approval of Livdelzi, a treatment for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/08/40394698/fda-approves-gileads-seladelpar-for-inflammatory-liver-disease-acquired-via-4b-cymabay-deal">primary biliary cholangitis</a>, as well as the approval of its antibody-drug conjugate, Trodelvy, for HR-/HER2- breast cancer in Japan.
Sanofi SA (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SNY#NASDAQ">SNY</a>) experienced a 19.2% jump in market capitalization, largely fueled by its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/10/41541274/sanofi-earns-5b-q3-core-profit-on-strong-dupixent-and-vaccine-sales-raises-2024-forecast">flagship drug Dupixent</a>.

Similarly, AbbVie Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ABBV#NYSE">ABBV</a>) saw a 15.2% increase in its market cap, driven by the continued success of its immunology drugs—Humira, Skyrizi, and Rinvoq—which together generated nearly $7 billion <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/07/39960414/abbvies-q2-earnings-beat-estimates-raises-annual-profit-on-strong-sales-from-newer-immunology-and">in Q2 2024 sales</a>.
Alnylam Pharmaceuticals Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ALNY#NASDAQ">ALNY</a>) joined the top 20 biopharmaceutical companies with a 14.9% rise in its market value, following its RNAi drug vutrisiran's positive results in treating ATTR <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/08/40652720/alnylam-pharmaceuticals-stock-falls-after-detailed-vutrisiran-data-for-a-condition-with-stiff-hea">amyloidosis with cardiomyopathy</a>. 
Roche Holdings AG's (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RHHBY#OTC">RHHBY</a>) market capitalization grew by 13.8%, spurred by the FDA&#8217;s approval of two key products, Ocrevus Zunovo for multiple sclerosis and Tecentriq Hybreza for oncology indications, the latter being the only approved subcutaneous <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/08/40652720/alnylam-pharmaceuticals-stock-falls-after-detailed-vutrisiran-data-for-a-condition-with-stiff-hea">PD-L1 inhibitor available</a>.
On the downside, Wegovy maker Novo Nordisk A/S (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVO#NYSE">NVO</a>) saw an 18.2% drop in its market cap after the FDA rejected its BLA filing for the once-<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/07/39732571/fda-rejects-novo-nordisks-weekly-insulin-requests-information-related-to-manufacturing-process-ty">weekly insulin icodec</a>.
Similarly, Eli Lilly &amp; Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LLY#NYSE">LLY</a>) reported a slight decline of 2.1%, though both companies retained their leadership in diabetes and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/10/41622207/eli-lilly-q3-earnings-mounjaro-sales-more-than-double-takes-2-98-billion-hit-to-profit-cuts-annua">weight loss drugs</a>. 
Merck &amp; Co Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRK#NYSE">MRK</a>) also faced a 8.2% fall in market value, largely due to disappointing sales of its HPV vaccine, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/11/41693101/mercks-gardasil-shot-challenges-to-continue-analysts-optimistic-for-newly-approved-">Gardasil, in China</a>.
&nbsp;"The biopharmaceutical industry is poised for a recovery, fueled by multiple FDA approvals leading to a rebound in companies that have seen declines in market capitalization in previous quarters, such as Gilead Sciences and Bristol-Myers Squibb,&#8221; says GlobalData analyst.

Bristol-Myers Squibb Leads Biopharma Recovery With Almost 25% Growth In Market Cap, But Novo Nordisk And Lilly Suffer Market Setbacks

The cannabis market is facing heightened volatility <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/11/41782344/tilray-trulieve-and-other-cannabis-stocks-nosediving-as-industry-faces-new-wave-of-political-unc">post-election</a> as investor concerns mount over political uncertainty and the fallout from Florida's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/11/41775201/cannabis-reform-stumbles-in-2024-elections-a-state-by-state-breakdown-as-stocks-take-a-hit">failed legalization vote</a>, leading to significant selloffs in top U.S. and Canadian cannabis stocks. Adult-use legalization was also <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/11/41775201/cannabis-reform-stumbles-in-2024-elections-a-state-by-state-breakdown-as-stocks-take-a-hit">rejected</a> in North Dakota and South Dakota.
Given this setup, investors might be asking: was the post-elections selloff an overreaction or a rational market adjustment?
Experts analysts from Viridian Capital Advisors weighed in on the debate.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Market Meltdown: Was The Sell-Off Justified?</h3>
In the wake of Florida&#8217;s failed ballot vote for adult-use cannabis, the market cap of 31 publicly traded cannabis companies fell by $2.6 billion from Friday, November 1 to Wednesday, November 6.
Florida&#8217;s medical cannabis market alone is projected to reach $2.1 billion in sales by 2024. 
If adult-use legalization had passed, it could have effectively doubled sales, adding another $2.1 billion. 
Applying a conservative 30% EBITDA margin to these potential sales would yield an EBITDA loss of $630 million. 
Using a 5x multiple, also considered conservative, the projected decline in market cap would be around $3.15 billion — suggesting that the $2.6 billion markdown might not have been as exaggerated as it seems.
However, there's a caveat: not all companies on the list have operations in Florida, though 81% of the market cap is held by firms actively operating there. 
A greater concern is the broader impact on the industry's growth narrative.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Some Earnings Added Pessimism</h3>
For <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/author/viridian-capital-advisors">Viridian Capital Advisors</a>, in addition to the disappointing ballot results, earnings reports from major players including Trulieve (OTCQX:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TCNNF#OTCQX">TCNNF</a>), TerrAscend (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TRSSF#OTC">TRSSF</a>), Curaleaf (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CURLF#OTC">CURLF</a>), <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/11/41808095/the-cannabist-co-q3-revenue-declines-8-completes-5m-asset-sale-exits-florida-market-amid-restruc">Cannabist</a> (OTCQX:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CBSTF#OTCQX">CBSTF</a>) and GTI (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GTBIF#OTC">GTBIF</a>) have compounded concerns.
The results revealed significant misses, even against lowered expectations. 
Aggregate revenues for these companies are projected to be down 0.4% year-over-year and 1.1% sequentially. The decline in EBITDA is 2.2% year-over-year and 4.2% sequentially.
The failed vote has undeniably stretched the industry's growth timeline, leaving investors to weigh <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/11/41823267/cannabis-stocks-is-it-time-to-buy-the-dip-after-elections-and-legalization-setbacks">potential catalysts </a>against a stark present reality.

Barclays analyst Adrienne Yih downgraded Bath &amp; Body Works Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BBWI#NYSE">BBWI</a>) from Equal-Weight to Underweight and lowered the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/BBWI/analyst-ratings">price target from $31 to $28</a>. The stock fell after the rerating.
Yih cited concerns over supply and demand risks that could negatively impact the company over the next 12 to 15 months.
While the guidance for the second half of 2024 has been adjusted to lower expectations, the analyst anticipates continued pressure in 2025 with potential declines in sales and contracting margins.
Her analysis points to rising inventory levels that are not aligned with the pace of sales recovery, suggesting that promotional activity is indicative of weaker consumer demand.
The downgrading decision comes amid signs of a deteriorating U.S. consumer environment, coupled with negative trends observed in the beauty segment, including data from competitors like Estée Lauder (EL), Coty (COTY), and Ulta Beauty (ULTA).
Yih highlights three main catalysts for Bath &amp; Body Works that could further weigh on its stock performance. The first catalyst involves promotional activities that might lead customers to stockpile products, particularly in categories like candles and body care, impacting future sales momentum.
The second catalyst is the heightened inventory risk, which could result in negative gross margin inflection, as seen in the third quarter of 2024. The company has shown negative growth in sales-to-inventory ratios for two consecutive quarters, raising concerns about margin sustainability.
The third catalyst involves the need for Bath &amp; Body Works to invest in premium product offerings to shift away from its heavily promotional strategy, which could support long-term brand elevation but also entail additional costs.
Yih's revised financial outlook reflects cautious estimates for the upcoming fiscal periods. For the fourth quarter of 2024, she forecasts revenue between $1.205 billion and $1.215 billion, factoring in a contribution from the company's recent promotional strategies.
The analyst has also lowered her earnings estimates for fiscal years 2024, 2025, and 2026, citing risks of continued sales decline and gross margin pressure. Earnings per share (EPS) projections have been adjusted to $3.11 for 2024, $3.24 for 2025, and $3.51 for 2026, down from her previous estimates of $3.13, $3.55, and $3.92, respectively.
Consequently, the price target has been reduced, applying a price-to-earnings multiple of 8x based on the 2026 EPS estimate.
Yih also notes that Bath &amp; Body Works faces significant competitive pressures and must navigate rising costs and changing consumer preferences, particularly as the market shows a growing inclination towards health-conscious and &#8220;clean&#8221; product offerings.
While the company has made strides in reformulating products to meet higher standards, there remains an opportunity to further elevate its product line, especially in the candle segment.
She suggests that a shift towards more organic and premium ingredients could help the brand achieve &#8220;clean brand&#8221; status, which aligns with evolving consumer trends. Despite the risks, Bath &amp; Body Works&#8217; robust business model, with high initial margins and strong free cash flow, could mitigate some challenges, although Yih warns that 2025 may still prove difficult for the company.
Price Action: BBWI stock is down 5.68% to $29.95 at the last check on Friday.

<a href="https://www.cnn.com/2024/11/08/politics/biden-administration-american-military-contractors-deploy-ukraine/index.html">https://www.cnn.com/2024/11/08/politics/biden-administration-american-military-contractors-deploy-ukraine/index.html</a>
&nbsp;
The Biden administration has lifted a de facto ban on American military contractors deploying to <a href="https://www.cnn.com/world/europe/ukraine">Ukraine</a> to help the country's military maintain and repair US-provided weapons systems, particularly F16 fighter jets and Patriot air defense systems, an official with direct knowledge of the plan told CNN.
The new policy, approved earlier this month before the election, would allow the Pentagon to provide contracts to American companies for work inside Ukraine for the first time since <a href="https://www.cnn.com/world/europe/russia">Russia</a> invaded in 2022. Officials said they hope it will speed up the maintenance and repairs of weapons systems being used by the Ukrainian military.
It is not clear whether Donald Trump will keep the policy in place when he takes office in January. Trump has said he hopes to end the war between Ukraine and Russia "within 24 hours" of returning to power.
"In order to help Ukraine repair and maintain military equipment provided by the US and its allies, DoD (Department of Defense) is soliciting bids for a small number of contractors who will help Ukraine maintain the assistance we've already provided," a defense official said.
"These contractors will be located far from the front lines and they will not be fighting Russian forces. They will help Ukrainian Armed Forces rapidly repair and maintain US provided equipment as needed so it can be quickly returned to the front lines."
The defense official confirmed that the US is moving forward with the plan because several of the systems the US has provided Ukraine, particularly F-16s and Patriots, "require specific technical expertise to maintain."
The shift marks another significant change <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2024/06/20/politics/ukraine-us-air-defense-capabilities/index.html">in the Biden administration's Ukraine policy</a>, as the US looks for ways to give Ukraine's military an upper hand against Russia. The Pentagon is expected to start listing the contracts online soon, the official said.
Over the last two years, Biden has insisted that all Americans, and particularly US troops, stay far away from the Ukrainian frontlines. The White House has been determined to limit both the danger to Americans and the perception, particularly by Russia, that the US military is engaged in combat there. The State Department has explicitly warned Americans against traveling to Ukraine since 2022.
As a result, US-provided military equipment that has sustained significant damage in combat has had to be transported out of the country to Poland, Romania, or other NATO countries for repairs, a process which takes time. US troops have also been available to help the Ukrainians with more routine maintenance and logistics, but only from afar via video chat or secure phone—an arrangement that has come with inherent limitations, since US troops and contractors are not able to work directly on the systems.
Allowing experienced, US government-funded American contractors to maintain a presence in Ukraine means they will be able to help fix damaged, high-value equipment much faster, officials have told CNN. One advanced system that officials say will likely require regular maintenance is the F-16 fighter jet, which Ukraine received earlier this year.
Companies bidding for the contracts would be required to develop robust risk mitigation plans to reduce threats to their employees, officials told CNN.
"The Department made this decision after careful risk assessment and in coordination with interagency stakeholders," the defense official said. "Each US contractor, organization or company will be responsible for the safety and security of their employees and will be required to include risk mitigation plans as part of their bids."
Current and former officials familiar said the policy change will not result in the kind of major American contractor presence that existed in Iraq and Afghanistan. Instead, it would likely result in anywhere from a few dozen to a couple hundred contractors working in Ukraine at a time.
"It is worth noting that there already are a wide array of American companies who have personnel in Ukraine fulfilling contracts for the Ukrainian government, so this will not lead to a substantial increase of employees of US companies working on the ground in Ukraine," the defense official said.
