In September 2024, Aurora Cannabis Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ACB#NASDAQ">ACB</a>) launched a CBD lozenge in collaboration with Vectura Fertin Pharma (now Aspeya, Inc.), a pharmaceutical firm owned by Philip Morris International (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PM#NYSE">PM</a>). The dissolvable product, branded Luo, debuted on Aurora&#8217;s medical platform in Canada.
To some observers, it looked like a stealth alignment between cannabis and Big Tobacco. But according to Aurora CEO Miguel Martin, the story is more nuanced.
"Our relationship really is with Vectura Fertin," said Martin, noting the company now goes by the name Aspeya. "It's a broader health and wellness company, and it's really not so much with PMI, even though they have their own connection."
Aurora's strategy, he says, is grounded in medical science, not brand crossovers.
"We have always had a very conservative, pharmaceutically minded approach," Martin told <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/cannabis">Benzinga</a>. "To be able to partner with someone with [Vectura's] history, and particularly the technology they were bringing to ingestible cannabinoids, was exciting for us."
The companies launched the Luo lozenge in Canada as a physician-authorized product for patients seeking controlled CBD delivery. Aurora handles distribution through its direct-to-patient ecommerce platform. Martin said the partnership has been well-received and could expand in the future.
"This is really about learning and understanding… how that kind of science-based, medical approach is received. And it's been very well received," he said. "Our patients have enjoyed them. Hopefully, there's opportunity for other brand extensions."

When asked whether this represented a deeper alignment with legacy industries, Martin was clear:
"Right now, it's about partnering and working with thoughtful, science-based, medically oriented companies," he said.
Aurora has similar relationships with prescribers, wholesalers and pharmaceutical partners across markets like Germany, Australia and the UK.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">A Pharma-First Cannabis Strategy</h3>
The Luo lozenge deal, combined with Aurora's global medical push and Canada-first manufacturing strategy, fits into a broader vision Martin has reinforced consistently: that cannabis should follow pharmaceutical norms—from delivery methods to regulatory rigor.

"We're experts in medical cannabis," he said. "That's where all of our profitability comes from. If a partnership helps us improve patient outcomes and deliver consistency, we're open to it."
For now, that means dissolvable CBD lozenges backed by pharma-grade R&amp;D. Whether future deals bring Aurora closer to companies like PMI remains to be seen. But Martin insists the priority is patients, not optics.
"If it wasn't additive or accretive to our financials, we wouldn't do it," he said. "We don't chase headlines—we build around what works."

Pradnya Desh, the founder and CEO of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/05/45229632/supio-raises-60m-series-b-with-backing-from-thomson-reuters-ventures-sapphire-ventures-and-mayfield-to-accelerate-ai-adoption-in-legal-industry">legal</a> tech startup Advocat, is entering politics with a bid for Bellevue City Council in Washington state, hoping to bring her tech-rooted problem-solving mindset to local government. Desh, a former U.S. diplomat and attorney, <a href="https://www.electdesh.com/">says</a> she believes that the public sector can benefit from the iterative, builder-style approach that drives startups forward.
According to <a href="https://www.geekwire.com/2025/if-somethings-broken-you-solve-it-why-this-startup-founder-is-running-for-bellevue-city-council/">GeekWire</a>, her platform focuses on improving housing, transportation, social equity, and public safety, with a heavy emphasis on building Bellevue into a leading hub for startups and innovation.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Bellevue's Startup Ecosystem Gets A Tech Insider Candidate</h2>
Desh launched Advocat to provide AI-powered legal tools to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/04/44868492/art-of-the-steal-ross-gerber-says-small-businesses-get-to-go-bankrupt-while-trump-makes-exceptions-for-mag-7-chinese-imports">small businesses</a> priced out of traditional services. Now she's applying the same logic to civic challenges, advocating for smarter processes and more efficient systems, GeekWire reports.
"I want to bring a founder's mindset to government, the kind of thinking that we've used to solve problems," Desh told GeekWire. "Because in tech, if something's broken you don't just wait, you have to solve it. We study a problem, we build, we talk to users, we iterate, and we constantly make it better. And that is missing from government."
She is running against incumbent Councilmember Jared Nieuwenhuis for one of five open seats on the seven-member council, GeekWire says. According to her website, Desh has already secured endorsements from the King County Democrats, 41st Democrats, and several other local leaders.

As a trustee of Bellevue College and a mother of three, Desh told GeekWire that her commitment to the region is both professional and personal. &#8220;I want to see what I can do to help Bellevue now,&#8221; she said.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Big Tech Has Moved In But Infrastructure Still Trails Behind</h2>
Bellevue has become a magnet for major tech companies including Amazon (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), Meta (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>), Zoom (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ZM#NASDAQ">ZM</a>), Shopify (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SHOP#NASDAQ">SHOP</a>), Shein, TikTok parent ByteDance, and Snowflake (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SNOW#NYSE">SNOW</a>), all of which have opened offices in the city. Microsoft (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) also had a significant presence in the area in previous years, GeekWire reports.
Desh believes the city needs to act faster to keep up with the pace of innovation. "We have a lot of the dots, but they're not all connected," she told GeekWire, referring to the region's fragmented approach to infrastructure and economic development.
Desh envisions a more coordinated tech ecosystem that includes better transportation, more affordable housing, and deeper partnerships between local government, founders, and investors, according to her website.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Desh Wants To Help Washington Rival The Bay Area For Startups</h2>
One of Desh's concerns is the recent push for new business taxes in Washington state, which she told GeekWire could drive innovation elsewhere. "We need to solve it in a different way," Desh said, expressing her frustration with policies that she believes contradict efforts to make Washington more attractive to startups.
She told GeekWire she sees her City Council campaign as a launchpad for broader impact, potentially leading to future roles at higher levels of government. For now, she's focused on Bellevue, a city she believes is uniquely positioned to set the tone for tech-centered growth across the Pacific Northwest.

Startup Founder Behind Advocat AI Says 'We Have A Lot Of The Dots, But They're Not All Connected' As She Runs For Bellevue City Council

Tim Chen, Global Head of Strategy at Mantle (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">MNT</a>), addressed retail investors' concerns about fragmented liquidity and gas fee confusion in Layer 2 (L2) ecosystems, emphasizing their growing importance.
In an interview with Benzinga, Chen likened L2s to retailers serving niche markets, arguing they are vital for scaling Ethereum's (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) capabilities but must find meaningful product-market fit to overcome current challenges.
"Think of it as like if Ethereum were wholesalers," said Chen. "You need retailers to go into every nook and cranny, serve every niche." But he cautioned, "The infighting happens when there is not enough activity… when the L2s have no product-market fit."
He acknowledged that infighting among L2s stems from insufficient activity and lack of demand, stating, "The infighting happens when there is not enough activity. The infighting happens when the L2s have no product market fit."
To illustrate, Chen compared poorly positioned L2s to "a retailer trying to sell winter coats in the Caribbean," highlighting the need for demand-driven solutions. 
He cited Mantle's UR Bank, a crypto neobank, as an example of an L2 application driving real-world transactions, noting, "if we can have UR Bank as a global product, and that's processing millions of transactions a day that's being settled on the mantle L2, then passed back to L1 mainnet is being secured there, then the economics will start working, right?"

Chen stressed that L2 ecosystems can resolve retail hesitations by creating products with tangible demand, such as Mantle's infrastructure, which supports $4 billion in treasury assets and $3-4 billion in total value locked on its Mantle Network. 
"I think those concerns are well founded, but can be mitigated once these L2s and ecosystems actually create a product with enough meaningful demand and transaction bumps," he added.
Chen's vision underscores L2s' role in onboarding the next billion users, particularly in emerging markets, by simplifying access through user-friendly interfaces like UR Bank.
As L2 competition intensifies, Chen believes differentiation lies in solving real-world problems, not just technical scalability. 
"That's why for us we're trying to find new product market fit in the real world as opposed to just on chain," he said.

Mantle's Tim Chen Explains Why Layer 2 Ecosystems Are Critical Despite Retail Hesitation

With Wall Street shut for Juneteenth, global investors turned their eyes to the escalating conflict between Israel and Iran, triggering a sharp oil price rally and pulling European stocks <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/european-markets">to multi-week lows.</a>
West Texas Intermediate crude futures climbed past $76.50 per barrel on Thursday, marking their highest level since January. Investors responded to rising geopolitical risk after Tel Aviv said it targeted Iranian nuclear sites in retaliatory strikes, prompting fears of a broader regional conflict.
The tension grew after <a href="https://www.wsj.com/politics/national-security/trump-privately-approved-attack-plans-for-iran-but-has-withheld-final-order-4563c526">The Wall Street Journal</a> reported President Donald Trump had approved U.S. military plans for Iran but held back from issuing a final order. Trump responded on Truth Social, saying, "The Wall Street Journal has No Idea what my thoughts are concerning Iran!"
The potential for a U.S. military entry into the conflict has revived fears of shipping disruptions through the Strait of Hormuz, a chokepoint through which roughly 20% of global oil supply flows.

Adding to bullish oil momentum, the U.S. Energy Information Administration reported on Wednesday a staggering 11.5-million-barrel draw in crude inventories for the week ending June 13. This marks the largest weekly decline in a year, reflecting surging demand and high refinery throughput amid the peak summer fuel season.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">European Equities Tumble As Risk-Off Mode Deepens</h3>
European equities ended Thursday's session with sharp losses as investors reduced risk exposure amid geopolitical instability and energy concerns.
Italy's FTSE MIB index fell 1.59% to 38,793, touching a six-week low. 
The Euro Stoxx 50 dropped 1.38% to 5,197, while France's CAC 40 and Spain's IBEX 35 slid 1.38% and 1.36%, respectively. 
Germany's DAX closed 1.17% lower at 23,047.
Investors are bracing for Friday's diplomatic meeting between European Union leaders and Iran in Switzerland.
Monetary policy responses were mixed across Europe on Thursday.
The Swiss National Bank reduced its policy rate by 25 basis points to 0%, marking the first time borrowing costs returned to zero since negative rates ended in late 2022. The rate cut, widely expected by markets, aims to support domestic growth amid a cooling economy.
Norway's central bank also trimmed rates, aligning with a broader shift among smaller European economies facing sluggish momentum.
Meanwhile, the Bank of England kept its main interest rate unchanged at 4.25%. Six of nine Monetary Policy Committee members voted to maintain rates, while three pushed for a 25 basis point cut, reflecting growing pressure to ease financial conditions.
Despite, the broader risk-off mood, futures on gold – as tracked by the SPDR Gold Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GLD#NYSE">GLD</a>) – remained steady at $3,365 per ounce. 
In currency markets, the dollar gained slightly, with the U.S. dollar index rising 0.3% to 99.10 levels, extending its weekly rally.

Elgen is a market-leading designer and manufacturer of HVAC parts and components, ductwork and structural framing primarily used in commercial buildings throughout North America. Recurring demand for maintenance, repair and remodel of existing HVAC installations is a key driver of volume and customer spend in these markets.
Joe Hayek, president and chief executive officer, Worthington Enterprises, said, "The addition of Elgen aligns closely with our strategy to build and acquire businesses with leadership positions in niche markets. Elgen's manufacturing processes, go-to-market strategies and end markets mirror ours, creating meaningful opportunities for synergies and growth.

Its sales strategy features direct sales to contractors and strategic distributor partnerships that broaden reach into niche markets. The company's distribution model allows for superior customer service and flexibility in best-in-class lead times for specialty (non-standard) products that are frequently needed by contractors installing on tight timelines.
Jimmy Bowes, president, Building Products, Worthington Enterprises, added, "Elgen's HVAC componentry and recurring revenue through maintenance, repair and remodel are a natural fit with our products for the building envelope.

Nicholas Wealth has launched the Nicholas Crypto Income ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BLOX#NYSE">BLOX</a>), a fund that aims to deliver access to the broader cryptocurrency universe with the addition of an options-based approach intended to generate a stream of income. The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">ETF was launched</a> on Wednesday and is the newest entrant in the firm&#8217;s growing roster under the XFUNDS brand.
As an actively managed product, BLOX stands out from traditional crypto-themed funds in that it combines three specific components. The first is an equity portfolio that targets companies involved in the digital asset value chain — from cryptocurrency miners to trading platforms, blockchain infrastructure providers, and companies with large crypto holdings on their balance sheets.
Also Read: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/new-etfs/25/06/46007611/roundhills-new-etfs-offer-weekly-income-from-amazon-meta-netflix-and-more">Roundhill&#8217;s New ETFs Offer Weekly Income From Amazon, Meta, Netflix, And More</a>
The second component provides direct exposure to digital currencies by way of U.S.-listed ETFs and exchange-traded products tracking Bitcoin and Ethereum. This strategy provides regulated market access and offers flexibility to include other crypto-linked instruments as new vehicles emerge.
What distinguishes BLOX, though, is its options overlay approach, which is designed to actively manage both risk and income opportunity. Instead of depending mainly on price appreciation, the fund aims to produce income by selling put spreads on its crypto component and selectively writing covered calls or other put spreads on its equity portfolio. In contrast to much conventional options-based income funds that limit upside through call spreads, BLOX&#8217;s structure permits more exposure to market appreciation.
David Nicholas, XFUNDS by Nicholas Wealth CEO, said the fund is created to tackle the double challenges investors encounter in digital asset markets — high volatility and missing consistent income. 
The fund seems ideally suited for financial planners and income-driven investors seeking to tap the crypto economy in a more conventional investment format. It will likely be of interest particularly to clients with lower risk tolerance or who are in need of retirement-friendly solutions in an asset class commonly considered volatile.
BLOX complements Nicholas Wealth&#8217;s expanding ETF line-up, which also comprises the Nicholas Fixed Income Alternative ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FIAX#NYSE">FIAX</a>), a 2022-introduced fund that leverages Treasury exposure and option premiums, and the Nicholas Global Equity and Income ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GIAX#NYSE">GIAX</a>), launched in 2024 to combine global equity exposure with index-based option strategies.
By combining digital asset exposure, diversification of equity, and a specified-income overlay, BLOX can be a new point of entry into the cryptocurrency market, especially for investors who have stayed on the sidelines because of the asset class&#8217;s intrinsic volatility and absence of yield.

NOV's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NOV#NYSE">NOV</a>) short percent of float has risen 7.39% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 28.09 million shares sold short, which is 16.28% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 8.45 days to cover their short positions on average.
<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.

Peering Into NOV's Recent Short Interest

<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.

Is the Market Bullish or Bearish on Abercrombie & Fitch?

In the current market session, ConocoPhillips Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COP#NYSE">COP</a>) share price is at $94.09, after a 1.48% decrease. Over the past month, the stock increased by 8.91%, but over the past year, it actually decreased by 15.75%. With good short-term performance like this, and questionable long-term performance, long-term shareholders might want to start looking into the company's price-to-earnings ratio.

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1750352422_0_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>ConocoPhillips P/E Compared to Competitors</h3>
The P/E ratio measures the current share price to the company's EPS. It is used by long-term investors to analyze the company's current performance against it's past earnings, historical data and aggregate market data for the industry or the indices, such as S&amp;P 500. A higher P/E indicates that investors expect the company to perform better in the future, and the stock is probably overvalued, but not necessarily. It also could indicate that investors are willing to pay a higher share price currently, because they expect the company to perform better in the upcoming quarters. This leads investors to also remain optimistic about rising dividends in the future. 
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of the 21.34 in the Oil, Gas &amp; Consumable Fuels industry, ConocoPhillips Inc. has a lower P/E ratio of 12.1. Shareholders might be inclined to think that the stock might perform worse than it's industry peers. It's also possible that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1750352422_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In conclusion, the price-to-earnings ratio is a useful metric for analyzing a company's market performance, but it has its limitations. While a lower P/E can indicate that a company is undervalued, it can also suggest that shareholders do not expect future growth. Additionally, the P/E ratio should not be used in isolation, as other factors such as industry trends and business cycles can also impact a company's stock price. Therefore, investors should use the P/E ratio in conjunction with other financial metrics and qualitative analysis to make informed investment decisions.

Price Over Earnings Overview: ConocoPhillips

The clean industrial transition is on a positive trajectory, but still requires considerable funding to reach its full potential – the latest report by the Mission Possible Partnership (MPP) shows. While facing headwinds like geopolitical risks and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/commodities">commodity volatility</a>, eight projects reached Final Investment Decision (FID) over the last six months. The total number of operational or fully committed clean industrial facilities worldwide now stands at 134.
"Despite the geopolitical and macroeconomic uncertainties, momentum continues to build," MPP CEO Faustine Delasalle wrote in the <a href="https://www.missionpossiblepartnership.org/tracker-insights/jun-25/">report's foreword.</a> "This is in no small part because many companies and governments understand clean industry is an economic opportunity, not just a climate imperative."
MPP's latest Global Project Tracker identifies a total of 826 industrial decarbonization projects worldwide. Of these, 692 have been announced, 65 have secured financing and passed FID, and 69 are already operational.
The report notes that the most significant progress has occurred in the chemicals and fuels sectors, particularly in hydrogen, ammonia, and methanol, while hard-to-abate materials sectors, such as steel and cement, remain more challenging due to price competitiveness and technological maturity.
The report notes the growing importance of the so-called "New Industrial Sunbelt." The term refers to a group of emerging economies like Brazil, India, Oman, Egypt, South Africa, but also Australia, all strategically positioned to lead the industry due to high renewable energy potential, abundant land availability, and improving policies.
These countries now account for nearly one-third of all announced clean industrial projects and about 25% of those that have reached FID. Their role is seen as essential to the future of globally distributed, low-emission industrial production.
Still, MPP is clear about challenges ahead, highlighting three persistent barriers: heightened trade tensions and global macroeconomic uncertainty, unclear or shifting government policy frameworks, especially concerning tax credits and carbon border mechanisms, and a glut of capacity in conventional commodities like grey steel and basic chemicals, which continues to suppress market prices and delay green investment.
As many as 700 projects remain in pre-FID status, representing an estimated $1.6 trillion in capital investment opportunity. Among these are several high-profile initiatives now facing delays or reevaluation. These include Fortescue's (OTCQX:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FSUGY#OTCQX">FSUGY</a>)&nbsp; Gibson Island green hydrogen plant in Australia and ArcelorMittal's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MT#NYSE">MT</a>) flagship green steel project in Europe.
Yet, MPP remains optimistic, identifying three critical drivers of enabling successful project advancement. These include declining costs of renewable energy and clean industrial technologies, stronger demand-side measures such as procurement mandates and offtake agreements, and coordinated supply-side policies to de-risk capital investment.

Jared Kushner is married to Trump&#8217;s daughter, Ivanka Trump. Therefore, Oscar Health has an indirect connection to the Trump family through Joshua Kushner&#8217;s familial relationship.

Why It Matters: Technical analysis of Oscar Health paints a largely bullish picture for the stock. According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a>, its price of $18.77 apiece is higher than the short and long-term simple daily moving averages.
Its momentum indicator, MACD, was also bullish as the MACD line was at 0.40, above the signal line of 0.12 and a positive histogram value of 0.28. This meant that the stock&#8217;s 12-day exponential moving average was trading above the 26-day EMA.
However, the relative strength index of 70.94 meant that the stock was overbought and the prices could correct.
