Last month, U.S. District Judge Jesse Furman of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York dismissed a $6.4 billion lawsuit against issuer Bristol-Myers Squibb &amp; Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BMY#NYSE">BMY</a>).
The plaintiff, UMB Bank, had not been properly <a href="https://www.milbank.com/a/web/r333FErFizuVNYcVKYmE5F/law360-bristol-myers-win-offers-lessons-for-debt-security-holders.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">appointed</a> as the trustee for the securities and therefore lacked standing to sue on behalf of the directing holders.
The issue undermined the lawsuit, filed 17 months after Bristol Myers acquired Celgene for $80.3 billion in 2019.

UMB Bank NA filed suit against Bristol-Myers in 2021. The firm alleges that the company intentionally slow-rolled the approval process for a cancer drug to dodge paying $6.4 billion owed to former Celgene shareholders under a contingent value rights agreement.
On Thursday, Bristol Myers Squibb was again hit with a $6.7 billion lawsuit. The company allegedly delayed federal approval for three drugs to avoid paying former Celgene shareholders.
The case, filed by UMB Bank, claims the delay cost &#8220;contingent value rights&#8221; (CVR) holders an extra $9 per share in cash. The drugs involved include the cancer treatment Breyanzi.
In the third quarter of 2024, Breyanzi generated sales of $224 million, up from <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/10/41655052/bristol-myers-squibb-boosts-2024-outlook-on-strong-demand-for-blood-thinner-med-new-drugs-drive-q" rel="noreferrer noopener">$92 million a year ago</a>.
Per Reuters, UMB resolved the appointment issue. The bank is now confirmed as trustee, allowing it to proceed with the lawsuit. The estimated liability has increased from $6.4 billion to $6.7 billion.
Price Action: BMY stock is down 0.19% at $58.39 during the premarket session at last check Friday.

<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/41884428/warren-buffetts-166-billion-warning-to-wall-street-has-hit-a-fever-pitch-and-the-financial-world-cant-afford-to-ignore-it">Warren Buffett's</a> investment strategy is a case study in bold and safe play. Nearly $99 billion is pegged on two iconic names: Apple and Coca-Cola. Through Berkshire Hathaway, Buffett has channeled a whopping half of his equity holdings into Apple alone and he's held tight to his Coca-Cola shares since the late 1980s.&nbsp;
Don't Miss:
<ul>
<li>Deloitte's fastest-growing software company partners with Amazon, Walmart &amp; Target –<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/mode-mobile-2"> You can still get 4,000 of its pre-IPO shares for just $1,000</a></li>
<li>This Adobe-backed AI marketing startup went from a $5 to $85 million valuation working with brands like L'Oréal, Hasbro, and Sweetgreen in just three years –<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/rad-ai"> here's how there's a limited time opportunity to invest at $1,000 for only $0.50/share before closing date.</a></li>
</ul>
His strategy here is simple but powerful – backing companies with brand strength and consistent financials. Apple's stock, for instance, surged 31% this year and many see this as Buffett's savviest move yet. Some say it's his "crown jewel," lauding his foresight in spotting a tech company that's proven as resilient as it is profitable.
But as with any big bet, Buffett's heavy reliance on Apple has sparked some chatter. Skeptics say putting so many eggs in one tech basket could be risky. With tech stocks, there's always the threat of shifting consumer trends, not to mention the occasional market shake-up.&nbsp;
Trending: The global games market is projected to generate $272B by the end of the year —<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/gameflip"> for $0.55/share, this VC-backed startup with a 7M+ userbase gives investors easy access to this asset market.</a>
And while Apple has shown impressive gains this year, the latest numbers hint at a slight cooling. In the last fiscal year, Apple's total revenue dipped by 0.8% – a small shift but enough to raise eyebrows. Still, Morgan Stanley analyst Erik Woodring believes Apple has room to climb, setting a price target of $273, which would mark a 20% rise from current levels.
Apple's pivot toward services is holding it steady. Though iPhone sales may ebb and flow, Apple's revenues from the App Store, streaming and cloud services have grown by 23% over the past few years.&nbsp;
Services have also helped Apple boost its profit margins, going from 43.3% in 2022 to 46.2% in 2024, catching Wall Street's attention. These margins and the cash flow from services make Apple's high share prices easier to swallow, especially as it could mean bigger dividends for shareholders.
Trending: Maker of the $60,000 foldable home has 3 factory buildings, 600+ houses built, and big plans to solve housing —<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/boxabl"> you can become an investor for $0.80 per share today.</a>
Then there's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/07/40046044/grant-cardone-says-buffett-made-508-million-as-an-investor-in-coca-cola-last-year-the-ceo-made-5">Coca-Cola</a>, which stands out as Buffett's textbook choice. It's familiar, steady and beloved worldwide. His initial investment in Coca-Cola in the late ‘80s has since grown to a $27.67 billion stake and despite recent bumps – like a 12% drop from September's peak – investors still see value here.&nbsp;
Morgan Stanley's Dara Mohsenian predicts Coca-Cola could climb to $76 a share, marking a potential 19% increase. Investors love Coca-Cola for its dependable growth and steady dividend payouts. Coca-Cola just raised its dividend for the 62nd consecutive year, offering a 3% yield – a rarity in today's market.&nbsp;
Unlike the roller-coaster nature of tech, Coca-Cola's simpler, time-tested business model gives it a stability that's hard to beat. The company's revenue ticked up, with a 5.0% rise in the first nine months of 2024 alone and management projects 10% organic sales growth for the year – proof of the brand's staying power.

$99 Billion Bet: Warren Buffett Invests Heavily In 2 Stocks Expected To Jump 19% And 20%, Wall Street Analysts Predict

Kulicke and Soffa Industries Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KLIC#NASDAQ">KLIC</a>) shares were rising in early trading on Friday, after <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/KLIC">shedding more than 5% this week</a>.
While reporting earnings, the company announced an order for fluxless TCB from "the world&#8217;s leading foundry," which could be chipmaker Taiwan Semiconductor Mfg. Co. Ltd. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>), according to Needham.
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/60ed6112b473c600014bf1c9/charles-shi">Analyst </a><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/60ed6112b473c600014bf1c9/charles-shi">Charles Shi</a> upgraded the rating for Kulicke and Soffa Industries from Hold to Buy, while establishing a price target of $55.
The Kulicke and Soffa Industries Thesis: Given in order, the company expects TCB revenues to grow by 40%-50% year-on-year in 2025, Shi said in the upgrade note.

Kulicke and Soffa Industries is expected to generate TCB revenues of around $55 million in 2024, which could now reach as much as $80 million next year, "beating our $70MM estimate by about $10MM," he added.
Rival ASMPT is likely to have failed the TCB qualification at Taiwan Semiconductor and its management said during the third-quarter earnings call that TCB evaluation at the leading foundry "may take another year," the analyst stated.
"To us, the fact that KLIC is already qualified and shipping while ASMPT still has not closed the evaluation means that KLIC has won," he further wrote.
KLIC Price Action: Shares of Kulicke and Soffa Industries rose by 2% to $46.52 at the time of publication on Friday.
