Baselode Energy Corp. (OTC: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/bsenf#OTC">BSENF</a>) has reported positive uranium assay results from three drill holes of the 2024 drill program at its Ackio prospect, located in the Athabasca Basin, Northern Saskatchewan. These results highlight the shallow depth and high-grade mineralization that continue to characterize the Ackio prospect.
Notably, drill hole AK24-119 intersected 0.28% U3O8 over 21.0 meters, including a high-grade section of 1.55% U3O8 over 1.5 meters at a depth of 141 meters. While drill hole AK24-118 returned 0.59% U3O8 over 8.5 meters, including 1.25% U3O8 over 1.5 meters at a depth of 153 meters.
CEO James Sykes commented in the press release, &quot;These results strengthen our confidence in Ackio. It&#39;s remarkable that, just over three years after discovering Ackio, we&#39;re still achieving better-than-expected grades and widths.&quot;
Baselode expects further assay results from the remaining 40 drill holes to be released after quality review and approval.
<h2>Looking At The Uranium Sector</h2>
The uranium market has experienced notable growth in recent years. As Kitco wrote on September 25, &quot;Despite recent market corrections, uranium and uranium-related equities have outperformed other asset classes over the long term&quot; with the U3O8 uranium spot price seeing significant rises in the last five years. The long-term fundamentals of the market remained strong, with Kitco noting that &quot;global uranium supply lagging behind demand&quot; could lead to higher prices as utilities are &quot;forced to secure long-term contracts.&quot;
<blockquote class="callOut left">Jeff Clark of The Gold Advisor expressed enthusiasm for the company in an October 3 update, stating that the results from the drill program were better than expected, with high-grade uranium intersected in two keyholes.</blockquote>
Chris Temple of The National Investor similarly commented on September 25, &quot;Uranium and nuclear power are clearly back, with long-term demand increasing, driven by significant developments like the restart of nuclear facilities.&quot;
He observed that the sector appeared to be moving past its consolidation phase. He advised, &quot;Now is the time to rebuild exposure to uranium and nuclear power.&quot;
The Financial Times, also writing on September 25, highlighted the impact of the ongoing geopolitical climate on uranium pricing, stating that &quot;the conversion and enrichment prices are reflecting a much bigger supply squeeze due to the Russia-Ukraine war and other factors.&quot; They also pointed to the increasing prices for nuclear fuel, suggesting that &quot;higher nuclear fuel prices are likely to continue as existing conversion facilities face delays.&quot;
<h2>Baselode&#39;s Catalysts</h2>
The Ackio prospect remains a strong catalyst for Baselode Energy&#39;s growth, as the shallow and high-grade uranium mineralization continues to yield favorable results. Baselode&#39;s exploration strategy focuses on near-surface, basement-hosted uranium, which offers the potential for low-cost extraction.
As highlighted in the company&#39;s investor presentation, the Ackio discovery includes nine uranium pods, with mineralization starting as shallow as 25 meters below the surface. The ongoing drilling campaign, which has completed over 30,000 meters since 2021, further enhances the company&#39;s resource potential. With over US$20 million in the treasury, Baselode is well-funded to continue advancing Ackio and other projects, including the Catharsis project currently in drilling.
<h2>What Third-Party Experts Are Saying</h2>
David Talbot, Managing Director at Red Cloud Securities, noted in a September 17 report that drilling at Ackio has &quot;continued to expand the mineralized footprint at Pods 1, 6, and 7&quot; highlighting that &quot;thirteen holes reported composite intervals of anomalous radioactivity between 11m and 42m in thickness.&quot;
In his report, Talbot rated the stock as a Buy and further projected the potential for &quot;8-10-12 million pounds of U3O8 at a grade of ~0.3% U3O8&quot; which aligns with typical grades found in the southeastern part of the Athabasca Basin.
Additionally, Jeff Clark of The Gold Advisor expressed enthusiasm for the company in an October 3 update, stating that the results from the drill program were better than expected, with high-grade uranium intersected in two keyholes. Clark observed that &quot;the stock popped on the news, on heavy volume, investors obviously liking the results.&quot;
He also pointed out that Baselode&#39;s shallow mineralization at Ackio could make future mining operations more economically viable, noting the project&#39;s competitive advantage compared to deeper deposits elsewhere in the Athabasca Basin.
<h2>Ownership and Share Structure</h2>
According to Refinitiv, Baselode has institutions holding 23.26% with Alps Advisors holding the bulk of it with 17.94%, followed by Vident Investment Advisory LLC at 2.97%. Management and Insiders hold 1.59%. The rest is retail.
The company has a market cap of US$12.63 million, according to Market Watch, with 131.51 free float shares. It trades in the 52-week range between US$0.0778 and US$0.4491.

<h2>More on AZN&#39;s Latest Agreement</h2>
Per the deal, AZN will make an upfront payment of $100 million to CSPC. The company is also entitled to pay up to $1.92 billion for further development and commercialization milestones plus tiered royalties to CSPC.
Per the latest agreement with CSPC, AstraZeneca will gain access to the latter&#39;s pre-clinical candidate, YS2302018, an oral Lp(a) disruptor, and develop the same for various cardiovascular diseases. The company will develop YS2302018 alone or in combination studies, including with the oral small molecule PCSK9 inhibitor, AZD0780.
Discovered by CSPC, YS2302018 has been shown to effectively prevent the formation of Lp(a), a form of low-density lipoprotein&nbsp;that plays a key role in transporting cholesterol in the bloodstream.
Per the company, the addition of YS2302018 to AZN&#39;s cardiovascular pipeline might help patients to more effectively manage their dyslipidaemia and cardiometabolic diseases.
<h2>AZN&#39;s Airsupra Meet Goal in BATURA Study</h2>
In a separate press release, AstraZeneca announced positive data from the phase IIIb BATURA study, which evaluated its pressurized metered-dose inhaler (pMDI), Airsupra (albuterol/budesonide).
Data from the study showed that treatment with Airsupra led to a statistically significant and clinically meaningful reduction in the risk of a severe exacerbation when used as an as-needed rescue medication in response to symptoms versus as-needed albuterol in patients with intermittent or mild persistent asthma. This was the primary endpoint of the BATURA study.
Airsupra is approved for as-needed treatment or prevention of bronchoconstriction and to reduce the risk of exacerbations in people with asthma aged 18 years and above in the United States. It is the first and only anti-inflammatory rescue medication for the given condition.

<h2>About Rocket Companies</h2>
Rocket Companies is a financial services company that was originally founded as Rock Financial in 1985 and is currently based in Detroit. Rocket Companies offers a wide array of services and products but is best known for its Rocket Mortgage business. The company's mortgage lending operations are split between its direct-to-consumer lending, which sees borrowers accessing the company's lending arm directly through either its mobile app or website, and its partner network where mortgage brokers and other firms use Rocket's origination process to offer loans to their customers. The company has rapidly gained market share in recent years and is now the largest mortgage originator in the U.S. as well as the servicer for more than 2 million loans.

The Latest Analyst Ratings For Rocket Companies

Investors may be worried about the future of the computer and technology sector, especially now that the former darling in the space, NVIDIA Co., is threatening to go into a correction in potentially the coming months. However, recent economic data suggests that there are other names in the space that are still worth taking another look into.
These stocks share the same characteristics that the manufacturing PMI index reported in its latest issue, so the odds are in favor of bulls in MicroStrategy Inc. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/mstr#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>), SAP (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/sap#NYSE">SAP</a>), and even PTC Inc. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ptc#NASDAQ">PTC</a>). These names would expose investors to the potential bull runs that could be seen in the cryptocurrency space as interest rate cuts work their way through Bitcoin and give it a run higher.
More than that, finance is now relying on software applications and increased technology implementation in daily operations, and this portfolio aligns investors with that rising demand trend as well. Not to mention the artificial intelligence capabilities needed in the product development and visualization space. Here are some of the fundamental and technical factors that place the odds in favor of these companies this cycle.
<h2>Key Fundamental Drivers Fueling the Computer Software Industry</h2>
The main drivers in the manufacturing PMI index are new orders, production, and inventories. Both new orders and output moved significantly over the last report, with inventories contracting aggressively, which signals upcoming demand across the sector.
But not all industries are made equal. The computer and electronics industries share the same dynamics, meaning investors can expect to see added and accelerating demand in the space. Even then, not all stocks are made equal, so ideally, those with premium forward P/E valuations and above-average earnings per share (EPS) growth will make for better candidates.
<h2>Long Candidate #1: MicroStrategy&#39;s Bitcoin</h2>
The last time the Federal Reserve (the Fed) cut interest rates, the price of Bitcoin more than doubled. This time, history could repeat itself, which is why MicroStrategy is increasing its balance sheet Bitcoin holdings so that the stock&#39;s book value will rise with it.
Even though the stock trades at 82% of its 52-week high, Wall Street analysts still believe it could reach a new high before the year ends. Benchmark leads the way with a price target set at $215 a share for MicroStrategy stock, which calls for a net upside of 30% from where the stock trades today.
Moreover, bearish traders have been forced to cover their short positions over the past quarter. MicroStrategy&#39;s short interest fell from $5.3 billion last quarter to $3.6 billion today, with a 2.9% contraction in the past month alone. Replacing these bears were some institutional buyers that were added recently.
Leading the buying were those at Park Avenue Securities, boosting their holdings by over 1,000% as of October 2024, bringing their net investment to $1.2 million today.
<h2>Long Candidate #2: Banks Need SAP</h2>
The financial sector is now increasingly dependent on technology and software for operations and risk management processes, and SAP stock is a major provider of these processes.
Since the stock has traded up to 95% of its 52-week high, investors can start to see the market reward the name with bullish momentum.
As of September 2024, analysts at Barclays decided to boost their price target on SAP stock to $252 a share and keep their &quot;Overweight&quot; ratings. To prove these analysts right, the stock would need to rally by 14.5% from its current level.
Wall Street analysts think that there will be additional demand for SAP&#39;s services in the coming months, so they forecast up to 52.7% EPS growth for the next 12 months. Based on these expectations, the market is now willing to pay a 34.5x forward P/E ratio over the industry&#39;s average of 28.4x.
<h2>Long Candidate #3: Labor Costs Aided By PTC&#39;s AI</h2>
Now that inflation is pushing the price of everything higher, especially labor, some companies may look to artificial intelligence to help them lower their costs and expand their margins and net profits. This is where the PTC expertise comes into play.
The stock is currently trading at 92% of its 52-week high, making for another bullish momentum play favoring investors. Based on the consensus price target, current analyst ratings suggest the stock could have a valuation as high as $200.2 a share, or a 12% upside from today&#39;s stock price.
With Wall Street EPS growth forecasts set at 19.8% for the next 12 months, investors now can see why the market is willing to pay a premium forward P/E valuation of up to 30.0x over the industry&#39;s average, as stocks that tend to grow above peers command these higher multiples.

Massive Potential: 3 Tech Stocks Positioned for Breakout Success

After a 14-year wait, Red Dead Redemption and Undead Nightmare, are officially <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/gaming">heading to PC. </a>
Take-Two Interactive Software Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TTWO#NASDAQ">TTWO</a>) Rockstar Games confirmed that both titles will launch on Oct. 29, 2024, across Steam, the Epic Games Store and the Rockstar Store.

"For the first time in its storied legacy, John Marston's beloved journey can be experienced on PC in stunning, new detail," Rockstar <a href="https://www.rockstargames.com/newswire/article/o3314a19koo147/red-dead-redemption-and-undead-nightmare-coming-to-pc-october-29">said.</a>
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">New Features Tailored For PC Gamers</h1>
The PC port, developed by Double Eleven, who also worked on the 2023 PS4 and Nintendo Switch versions, is packed with enhancements. 
The game will feature native 4K resolution, up to 144Hz on compatible hardware, ultrawide and super ultrawide monitor support, HDR10, and full keyboard and mouse functionality. Additionally, Rockstar included Nvidia DLSS 3.7 and AMD FSR 3.0 upscaling technologies, making the experience even smoother for players on modern hardware.
Another upgrade is the inclusion of adjustable draw distances and shadow quality settings, offering players more customization to suit their systems. Nvidia DLSS Frame Generation, a feature designed to boost performance by increasing frame rates, will also be part of the package.
Despite these improvements, the PC version will only include the complete single-player campaigns for both Red Dead Redemption and Undead Nightmare. Multiplayer content, a popular feature in other Rockstar titles, will not be part of this release.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">System Requirements For Red Dead Redemption PC</h1>
To run the game, players need at least the following specs:
<ul>
<li>Minimum: Intel Core i5-4670 / AMD FX-9590 processor, 8 GB RAM, Nvidia GeForce RTX 960 / AMD Radeon R7 360 graphics, and 12 GB of available storage.</li>
<li>Recommended: Intel Core i5-8500 / AMD Ryzen 5 3500X processor, Nvidia RTX 2070 / AMD RX 5700 XT graphics, with an SSD for optimal performance.</li>
</ul>
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Pricing Still A Mystery</h1>
While pricing information has yet to be revealed, the community is buzzing with excitement. PC players have long felt sidelined by Rockstar's staggered approach to platform releases. 
Rockstar has previously delayed PC versions of games, such as Grand Theft Auto 5, which arrived on PC a year after its console debut. The same situation seems likely with Grand Theft Auto 6, for which no PC version has been announced yet.
The release of Red Dead Redemption on PC has sparked questions about what Rockstar has planned for future updates across other platforms. Players are speculating whether Red Dead Redemption 2 will see enhanced features on the upcoming PS5 Pro, particularly regarding 60fps and 4K resolution modes.

Red Dead Redemption Finally Comes To PC: Everything You Need To Know

AMN Healthcare Services, Inc. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/amn#NYSE">AMN</a>) launched an innovative technology suite, WorkWise, last Wednesday. The suite is expected to unify the company&#39;s technologies into one single technology offering.
Per AMN Healthcare, WorkWise has been designed to streamline workforce processes by combining the capabilities of quantifying staffing demand with predictive scheduling, automated workforce management and enhanced clinician engagement using AI technology. The technology suite will likely empower healthcare systems to efficiently source the appropriate talent, while effectively managing costs.
The latest launch is expected to significantly boost AMN Healthcare&#39;s Technology and Workforce Solutions business and solidify its foothold in the healthcare space.
<h2>Likely Trend of AMN Stock Following the News</h2>
Following the announcement on Oct. 2, shares of the company moved nearly 2.8% south to $38.64 at yesterday&#39;s close.
Historically, the company has gained a high level of synergies from its product launches. Although the latest launch is likely to be beneficial for AMN&#39;s top-line growth going forward, the stock declined overall since the announcement despite a slight gain yesterday.
AMN Healthcare currently has a market capitalization of $1.47 billion. It has an earnings yield of 8.3%, higher than the industry&#39;s 3.6%. In the last reported quarter, AMN delivered an earnings surprise of 30.7%.
<h2>Significance of the Launch of AMN Healthcare&#39;s WorkWise</h2>
Per AMN Healthcare, WorkWise is completely integrated with healthcare organizations&#39; internal systems. This is expected to enable hospitals to optimize personnel for any type of job (permanent, per diem, contract), sourcing from internal and external talent, to reduce costs and predict staffing needs with greater precision. The solution will likely leverage automation and data analysis to provide insights and build engaged talent networks for effective workforce management and increased speed-to-fill for staffing needs.
AMN Healthcare&#39;s management believes that WorkWise will be an integrated solution with multiple capabilities that can work together to address complex workforce challenges in the healthcare industry. It is expected to provide a full end-to-end solution for hospitals and healthcare systems, which is built to adapt and evolve with their needs.
<h2>Industry Prospects in Favor of AMN</h2>
Per a report by Grand View Research, the global healthcare workforce management system market was valued at $1.9 billion in 2023 and is anticipated to witness a CAGR of 13.2% between 2024 and 2030. Factors like the shift toward value-based reimbursements and the increasing adoption of telehealth technologies and AI-driven analytics are likely to drive the market.
Given the market potential, the latest launch will likely provide a significant impetus to AMN Healthcare&#39;s business.
<h2>AMN Healthcare&#39;s Notable Launches</h2>
In August, AMN Healthcare launched Strategic Partnership Solutions. It aims to transform language access programs in healthcare organizations by providing comprehensive language services and strategic support to organizations.
In July, AMN Healthcare introduced a new teletherapy platform, Televate. Per the company, it has been designed to increase access to therapy services for students nationwide.
<h2>AMN&#39;s Share Price Performance</h2>
Shares of the company have lost 50.7% in the past year against the industry&#39;s 7.5% rise and the S&amp;P 500&#39;s 30.9% growth.
