After four years of continuous treatment, Deramiocel-treated patients showed a median change of -0.5 points compared to baseline.
Further, a subgroup analysis of patients with baseline Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction (LVEF) >45% showed an even greater clinical benefit, supporting early intervention with Deramiocel to potentially preserve cardiac function.

Additionally, treatment continued to slow skeletal muscle disease progression, as measured by performance of the upper limb (PUL v2.0), with patients experiencing a smaller average decline in the fourth year (0.6 points) compared to the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/06/g46025161/capricor-therapeutics-announces-positive-4-year-data-from-hope-2-open-label-extension-study-of-der" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">first year (1.8 points)</a>.
Together, these findings suggest that extended treatment with Deramiocel may help attenuate the progression of DMD over time. Deramiocel continues to maintain a favorable safety profile throughout the study.
&#8220;These four-year data reinforce the strength and durability of Deramiocel&#8217;s clinical benefit and favorable safety profile across both cardiac and skeletal muscle function,&#8221; said Linda Marbán, CEO of Capricor Therapeutics. &#8220;With our BLA under priority review and several key regulatory steps now completed, we are executing with focus and urgency as we move toward potential approval.
CAPR Price Action: CAPR stock is down 31.75% at $8.16 at publication on Friday.

Capricor Reports 4-Year Data For Deramiocel, Shows Sustained Benefit In Duchenne Patients

Editor&#8217;s note: This article was updated to correct the details of the ETF.
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">AI-themed ETFs</a> have proliferated in recent years, and many of them loaded with so-called &#8220;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/magnificent-seven">magnificent seven&#8221; tech giants</a>. 
However, not all are designed to endure the next innovation cycle. As the discussion moves from &#8220;what&#8217;s hot&#8221; to &#8220;what stands the test of time,&#8221; a new generation of ETFs is on the rise—those that adapt.
One such fund is the Dan IVES Wedbush AI Revolution ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IVES#NYSE">IVES</a>). The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/new-etfs/25/06/45774136/wedbush-launches-ai-revolution-etf-backed-by-dan-ives-proprietary-tech-picks">ETF, launched on June 4</a>, managed to <a href="https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2025/06/13/3099005/0/en/Dan-IVES-AI-Revolution-ETF-Surpasses-100-Million-AUM-Within-First-Trading-Week-of-Wedbush-Fund-Advisers-Inaugural-Offering.html">pull</a> in $100 million in only five trading days.
IVES &#8220;is built to be disciplined and transparent,&#8221; Wedbush Fund Advisers CIO Cullen Rogers tells Benzinga. &#8220;We don't react to short-term performance or headlines.&#8221;
IVES rebalances quarterly and aligns with revisions to the AI30 model developed by Wedbush&#8217;s Dan Ives, who created the methodology. This frequency steers clear of performance-chasing whiplash from more active managers, while retaining thematic relevance.
The fund &#8220;follows a clear set of rules and reflects the ongoing evolution of Dan's AI30 framework. That combination of research-driven insight alongside a passive index structure gives us the ability to stay focused on the long term,&#8221; Rogers added.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Case Against Static AI ETFs</h2>
Global X Robotics &amp; Artificial Intelligence ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BOTZ#NASDAQ">BOTZ</a>) and ROBO Global Robotics and Automation ETF (ROBO) both have portfolios that lean towards robotics, semiconductors, and infrastructure-heavy hardware. 
BOTZ, for example, has Nvidia (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), Intuitive Surgical (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ISRG#NASDAQ">ISRG</a>), and Keyence (OTCPK: KYCCF) as its leading holdings. 
ROBO has a strong tilt into industrials and health tech.
But these ETFs tend to be afflicted by static index approaches that fail to adjust rapidly to new AI subsectors like inference engines, generative software, or quantum compute.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Inside IVES: A Living Portfolio For A Moving Target</h2>
IVES employs a modified market-cap weighting strategy to keep its biggest bets in check. Yes, it includes the likes of Microsoft (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>), Nvidia, and Amazon (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>). However, it also leaves room for lesser-known high-conviction picks.
&#8220;We intentionally moved away from traditional straight-line market-cap weighting to avoid exactly that issue (overconcentration and valuation risk tied to the magnificent seven stocks). The modified market-cap weighting approach we use helps large-cap leaders hold influence, but it also prevents them from overwhelming the rest of the portfolio. At the same time, it gives room for smaller, high-conviction names to matter,&#8221; said Rogers.
IVES takes a tight, research-driven approach, Rogers explains. 
"This isn't about market timing — it's about giving investors access to the companies actually building and monetizing the AI revolution, in a format that's disciplined and transparent," he adds.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What Happens In A Downturn?</h2>
With valuations across the tech sector under renewed scrutiny, some wonder if AI ETFs are a bubble waiting to pop. Rogers isn't fazed. "Short-term market swings are part of investing, but IVES is built for the long run. What sets the fund apart is its ability to evolve with the AI ecosystem. Not just where it is today, but where it&#8217;s going. That's the advantage of anchoring the portfolio to Dan's ongoing research. As AI matures and new players, platforms, or verticals emerge, the index can adapt," he said.
&#8220;If the center of gravity in AI shifts from semis to inference, or from traditional compute to quantum, Dan's research is positioned to catch that. And our structure is designed to follow it. So even through a downturn, we're confident the fund will stay aligned with the most important parts of the AI value chain as they evolve,&#8221; Rogers emphasized.
Contrast that with holdings such as BOTZ, where old-school industrials and automation stocks constitute a huge percentage of the assets. They&#8217;re exposed to AI, perhaps, but sometimes indirectly and without the agility to change direction quickly.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Investor Takeaway: Adaptive &gt; Aggressive</h2>
For individual investors, the message is straightforward: not to conflate AI exposure with AI relevance. BOTZ funds might have expansive baskets, but that expansiveness tends to be at the expense of thematic integrity and forward-looking design. ROBO still stands for its robotics theme and first-mover appeal, but perhaps it will not be the final say on AI innovation as it extends into software.
IVES, on the other hand, presents a more streamlined style that balances conviction with agility. It&#8217;s not attempting to be everywhere, it&#8217;s trying to be where the AI narrative is really headed.
If the previous cycle of AIs revolved around who could train the largest model, perhaps the next will be a question of who can best monetize it. In that game, flexibility, not merely exposure, may be the ultimate advantage.
As Rogers summarizes: &#8220;IVES isn't a static snapshot, it's a living framework.&#8221;

The company recently reported that it has 16.64 million shares sold short, which is 2.95% of all regular shares that are available for trading.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
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?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">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.
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.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
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?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">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.
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.

What's Driving the Market Sentiment Around BrightSpring Health?

In the current session, the stock is trading at $85.04, after a 0.94% spike. Over the past month, American International Gr Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AIG#NYSE">AIG</a>) stock increased by 3.89%, and in the past year, by 11.56%. With performance like this, long-term shareholders are optimistic but others are more likely to look into the price-to-earnings ratio to see if the stock might be overvalued.

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1750446027_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>A Look at American International Gr P/E Relative to Its Competitors</h3>
The P/E ratio is used by long-term shareholders to assess the company's market performance against aggregate market data, historical earnings, and the industry at large. A lower P/E could indicate that shareholders do not expect the stock to perform better in the future or it could mean that the company is undervalued. 
American International Gr has a lower P/E than the aggregate P/E of 22.88 of the Insurance industry. Ideally, one might believe that the stock might perform worse than its peers, but it's also probable that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1750446027_1.png" alt="Guage" />

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.

'Japan scraps US meeting after Washington demands more defence spending'- Financial Times

BofA Securities analyst Anna Lizzul reiterated the Buy rating on e.l.f. Beauty, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ELF#NYSE">ELF</a>), <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ELF/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">raising the price forecast from $113 to $135.</a>
Lizzul revised the first-quarter sales estimate to +12% from the previous +15%, citing early-quarter softness in scanner data. She also lowered the gross margin forecast to 69% from 70% due to tariff impacts that were not yet offset by price increases scheduled for Aug. 1.
The analyst also projects non-marketing SG&amp;A growth to exceed the rate of sales growth in the first quarter. As a result, the first-quarter EBITDA estimate is reduced to $69 million from $90 million.
Also Read: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/entertainment/25/06/45889752/hollywood-has-a-new-take-on-the-phone-plan-meet-smartless-mobile" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hollywood Has A New Take On The Phone Plan&#8211;Meet SmartLess Mobile</a>
Looking beyond the first quarter, Lizzul sees potential for sales acceleration and gross margin improvement driven by the upcoming price increases, cost savings, and possible supplier concessions.
Lizzul projects e.l.f. Beauty to issue fiscal 2026 guidance in August, which wasn't provided during the fourth-quarter earnings call.
The timing will likely follow greater clarity around tariffs, the Aug. 1 pricing implementation, and the expected closing of the Rhode acquisition.
As fiscal 2026 progresses, the analyst anticipates potential upside to revenue and margin estimates, supported by stronger-than-expected volume resilience, pricing gains, new product launches enhancing price/mix, and the integration of Rhode.
Lizzul noted that the Rhode acquisition positions e.l.f. Beauty in the prestige segment, with the deal expected to close by the end of the second quarter.
The acquisition is projected to be accretive to sales, margins, and earnings within the first year.
Rhode offers strong growth potential, especially in international markets, which currently make up about 20% of its direct-to-consumer sales but account for 74% of its social media following.
The brand is expected to launch first in Sephora stores abroad, helping differentiate it from e.l.f.&#8217;s core offerings, which are not sold at Sephora outside of Mexico.
Price Action: ELF shares are trading lower by 4.07% to $117.26 at last check Friday.

The CHMP opinion was based on resmetirom&#8217;s favorable profile, including the positive results from the pivotal&nbsp;Phase 3 MAESTRO-NASH trial, which achieved both fibrosis reduction and MASH resolution primary endpoints.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted accelerated approval in March 2024 for Rezdiffra in conjunction with diet and exercise for the treatment of adults with noncirrhotic MASH with moderate to <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/03/37751655/fda-conditionally-approves-madrigal-pharmaceuticals-resmetirom-as-first-treatment-for-fatty-liver" rel="noreferrer noopener">advanced liver fibrosis</a>.
Continued approval for this indication may be contingent upon verification and description of clinical benefit in ongoing confirmatory trials.
In May, Madrigal Pharmaceuticals announced two-year results from the open-label compensated MASH cirrhosis (F4c) arm of the Phase 3 MAESTRO-NAFLD-1 <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/05/g45335059/madrigal-announces-new-clinical-data-demonstrating-rezdiffra-resmetirom-significantly-improved-mul" rel="noreferrer noopener">trial of Rezdiffra</a>.
Patients (n=122) in the study achieved significant improvements from baseline in liver stiffness, liver fat, fibrosis biomarkers, liver volume and risk scores for clinically significant portal hypertension (CSPH).
MAESTRO-NAFLD-1 included an open-label active treatment arm of patients with compensated MASH cirrhosis.
Among patients with CSPH at baseline, 65% moved into lower-risk categories by year two (42% to no/low CSPH and 23% to probable CSPH). Among patients with probable CSPH at baseline, 57% moved into the no/low CSPH category as compared to 14% who moved into the CSPH category by year two.
Improvement in CSPH risk was statistically significant compared to baseline.
As previously reported, patients achieved a mean 6.7 kPa reduction in liver stiffness at two years, statistically significant compared to baseline. In a responder analysis examining ≥25% improvement or worsening of liver stiffness, 51% of patients achieved improvement.
An improvement of this magnitude has been associated with reduced progression to end-stage liver disease.
Rezdiffra helped 35% of patients achieve liver stiffness measurements consistent with F3 fibrosis, suggesting reversal of cirrhosis.
The company generated first-quarter 2025 net revenues of $137.3 million. No product sales were recognized during the comparable <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/05/g45129596/madrigal-pharmaceuticals-reports-first-quarter-2025-financial-results-and-provides-corporate-updat" rel="noreferrer noopener">prior year period</a>.

European Advisory Panel Backs Conditional Approval For Madrigal's Fatty Liver Disease Drug

<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/chip-stocks" rel="noreferrer noopener">Semiconductor chip stocks</a>, including Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), Broadcom Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>), Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>), Intel Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>), Arm Holdings (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARM#NASDAQ">ARM</a>), Marvell Tech (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRVL#NASDAQ">MRVL</a>), are trading lower on Friday.
The fall comes amid reports indicating Washinton&#8217;s plans to end waivers for chipmakers to send American technology to China, the Wall Street Journal <a target="_blank" href="https://www.wsj.com/world/china/u-s-prepares-action-targeting-allies-chip-plants-in-china-10ab18a8" rel="noreferrer noopener">reported</a> Friday, citing unnamed sources familiar with the matter.
The stock movement bears testimony to the interconnectivity of the semiconductor ecosystem, which includes semiconductor companies and suppliers of materials, equipment, and specialized services.
So far, chipmakers Samsung Electronics (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SSNLF#OTC">SSNLF</a>),&nbsp;SK Hynix, and Taiwan Semiconductor could ship American chip-making equipment to their factories in China without applying for a separate license.

Jeffrey Kessler, head of the Commerce Department, told the chipmakers about Washington&#8217;s plans to cancel those waivers, WSJ reported. They said Kessler described the action as part of the Trump administration&#8217;s crackdown on critical U.S. technology going to China.
Last week, President&nbsp;Donald Trump&nbsp;confirmed&nbsp;the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45924007/arm-ceo-warns-chip-sanctions-on-china-are-counterproductive-for-usa" rel="noreferrer noopener">China trade deal</a> after two days of negotiations in London. The U.S. said it will continue applying 55% tariffs on selected Chinese imports, while China will impose a 10% tariff rate on U.S. goods.
Earlier, Arm CEO&nbsp;Rene Haas&nbsp;had condemned the&nbsp;U.S. sanctions on&nbsp;China in tandem with&nbsp;Nvidia chief Jensen Huang, citing the compromise of overall technological advances and impact on consumers and companies.
Haas discussed the repercussions of restricting access to technology in the ecosystem&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-06-12/arm-ceo-sides-with-nvidia-against-us-export-limits-on-china?srnd=phx-technology&amp;sref=TBDibEcD" rel="noreferrer noopener">to</a> Bloomberg last week at the Founders Forum Global conference in Oxford.
Haas said Chinese competitors have evolved, citing Huawei Tech as an example.&nbsp;The Trump administration blacklisted Huawei in 2019, citing national security threats.
In April, the Trump administration imposed sanctions on exports of data center processors to Chinese customers, which cost Nvidia about $8 billion in Chinese revenue during its second fiscal quarter.
Price Action: NVDA stock traded lower by 1.03% to $144 at the last check Friday. AVGO is down 1.05%. ARM is down 0.80%.
