Ionis Pharmaceuticals

Ionis Pharmaceuticals is the leading developer of antisense technology to discover and develop novel drugs. Its broad clinical and preclinical pipeline targets a wide variety of diseases, with an emphasis on cardiovascular, metabolic, neurological, and rare diseases. Ionis and Biogen brought Spinraza to market in 2016 as a treatment for spinal muscular atrophy, and Biogen launched ALS drug Qalsody in 2023. Ionis brought two additional drugs to market via its cardiovascular-focused subsidiary Akcea, including ATTR amyloidosis drug Tegsedi (2018) and cardiology drug Waylivra (Europe, 2019). Ionis and AstraZeneca launched polyneuropathy drug Wainua in 2024. Ionis received FDA approval in 2024 for Tryngolza for a rare high-triglyceride syndrome, marking its first independent launch.

The European Union unveiled a €72 billion ($84.13 billion) countermeasures list targeting U.S. exports, including aircraft, automotive products, and bourbon whiskey, following President Donald Trump&#8216;s threat to impose 30% blanket tariffs on EU goods starting August 1.
What Happened: The European Commission&#8217;s 200-page proposal, seen <a href="https://www.politico.eu/article/eu-to-hit-us-aircraft-cars-and-food-in-latest-retaliatory-strike/">by</a> Politico on Monday, marks the bloc&#8217;s second round of trade countermeasures against escalating U.S. tariff threats. Aircraft and aircraft parts represent the largest category at nearly €11 billion ($12.85 billion), potentially delivering a significant impact to Boeing Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>).
Industrial goods comprise €65.7 billion ($76.77 billion) of the targeted exports, while agricultural products account for €6.4 billion. The list includes bourbon whiskey despite intense lobbying from France and Ireland to protect the drinks sector from Trump&#8217;s trade reprisals.
Machinery, automotive products, chemicals, plastics, medical devices, electrical equipment, and industrial goods all fall into multibillion-euro categories. The total represents a reduction from an earlier €95 billion ($111.01 billion) proposal.
The Commission&#8217;s targeting criteria focus on &#8220;rebalancing the playing field&#8221; against U.S. tariffs affecting EU exports, availability of alternative supply sources, and products with high relocation risk, according to the document.

Why It Matters: Trump&#8217;s July 11 letters to Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen outlined the 30% tariff regime, citing trade deficits and market access concerns. The EU correspondence criticized &#8220;non-reciprocal&#8221; trade policies <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/07/46382047/trump-targets-mexico-eu-with-30-tariffs">contributing to substantial U.S. trade deficits</a>.
Trump offered tariff exemptions to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/07/46382047/trump-targets-mexico-eu-with-30-tariffs">firms relocating production to the United States</a>, promising expedited approval processes. The administration warned that attempts to sidestep tariffs through transshipment or retaliatory measures would trigger additional penalties.

TROOPS Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TROO#NASDAQ">TROO</a>) saw a significant dip in its stock value during after-hours trading on Monday.
Check out <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/TROO">how TROOPS Inc. stock is performing here</a>.
What Happened: The Hong Kong–based conglomerate ended the trading day at $1.34, marking a notable 104.58% rise from its previous close. However, the after-hours trading session saw the company&#8217;s stock value drop to $1.01, a decrease of 24.63%.
TROOPS Inc. had recently garnered attention for its strategic entry into the Asian co-working market via a two-stage acquisition deal. TROOPS Inc. saw a surge of 104.58% on Jul 14 after the company&#8217;s subsidiary, Giant Connection Limited, expressed its intention to acquire a 49% stake in WORK, Inc., a co-working space operator based in Taiwan. An option for the vendor to sell the remaining 51% to the purchaser in the future.&nbsp;

Chamath Palihapitiya Floats &#8216;Industrial Logic&#8217; For Union Of Elon Musk-led Companies: &#8216;This Would Be Pretty Logical&#8217;</a>
The consideration for this acquisition will be paid through convertible notes linked to TROOPS shares, priced at 80% of the lower of the pre-signing closing price or the 60-day average. The deal is contingent on due diligence, regulatory approvals, and the purchaser&#8217;s commitment to develop a 7,000 square foot co-working space in Hong Kong and a dedicated mobile application.
The acquisition news triggered an explosive trading session for TROOPS Inc. with volume surging to over 92.1 million shares — surpassing its average daily volume of 1.66 million, making a staggering 5,521% rise in trading volume.
Why It Matters: TROOPS Inc. has been making significant moves in the market. Earlier in July, the company received a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/07/46234159/troops-inc-receives-hk-404-8m-judgment-from-hong-kong-court-on-june-23-2025-in-hca-9382022-case-comp">HK$404.8M judgment</a> from a Hong Kong court, and the company is considering a U.S. class action. This recent surge in stock value reflects the market&#8217;s response to the company&#8217;s strategic decisions and its potential for growth in the Asian market.
This move marks TROOPS&#8217; strategic expansion into the Asian co-working market, leveraging WORK, Inc.&#8217;s presence in Taiwan and its planned expansion into Hong Kong.
Price Action: TROO shares closed at $1.34 on Monday, before dipping to $1.01 in the after-hours trading.
Benzinga&#8217;s Edge Stock Rankings indicate TROO has a negative trend across all time frames. Here is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-3/#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound">how the stock fares</a> on other parameters.

Yum! Brands Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/YUM#NYSE">YUM</a>) subsidiary KFC announced its &#8220;Kentucky Fried Comeback&#8221; campaign on Monday, launching a comprehensive brand revival strategy amid intensifying competition in the quick-service restaurant sector.
The Louisville-based chain is offering free eight-piece chicken buckets with a minimum $15 online purchase through its digital platforms.
What Happened: KFC President Catherine Tan-Gillespie acknowledged the brand&#8217;s market position challenges, stating the company is &#8220;well aware of the latest fried chicken rankings&#8221; and committed to reclaiming market share through operational improvements and customer feedback integration. 
The campaign represents a strategic pivot for the 75-year-old brand, which has faced declining market share in the competitive fried chicken segment.
The comeback initiative centers on KFC&#8217;s Original Recipe chicken, featuring the proprietary blend of 11 herbs and spices, alongside new menu additions including Kentucky Fried Pickles and $7 Fill Up meals. The company has implemented operational enhancements that have driven improvements in taste and customer satisfaction metrics, according to company statements.
KFC&#8217;s marketing strategy includes reviving Colonel Sanders&#8217; branding with a &#8220;serious&#8221; tone shift across store signage and digital platforms. The campaign features chef Matty Matheson alongside the Colonel character, emphasizing the brand&#8217;s &#8220;obsessive pursuit of the boldest flavor.&#8221;

Why It Matters: Parent company Yum! Brands recently received a Buy rating upgrade from Goldman Sachs with a $167 price target, representing 16% upside potential.

President Donald Trump grew frustrated with Vladimir Putin for shelling Ukrainian cities even after a string of "very pleasant" phone calls in which the Russian leader professed a desire for peace.
What Happened: Speaking in the Oval Office beside NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, Trump unveiled a plan for European allies to buy advanced U.S. weapons, including Patriot air‑defense systems and hand them to Kyiv, <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2025/07/14/trump-presidency-news/">reported</a> The Washington Post. He said the arrangement, under discussion for months, would help Ukraine prevent a full‑bore invasion while sparing American taxpayers.
The president also gave Moscow 50 days to settle, threatening 100% "secondary tariffs" on Russia and on countries that keep buying its oil if the war drags on. A White House aide later <a href="https://edition.cnn.com/2025/07/14/politics/us-ukraine-weapons-trump">clarified</a> to CNN that the penalties would most heavily hit importers in India and China, a measure intended to choke a key Kremlin revenue stream.
"The talk doesn't mean anything,&#8221; Trump told reporters, recalling four calls in which he believed he and Putin had mapped out a cease‑fire. Russian forces nonetheless pressed new missile strikes near Kharkiv and the Donetsk front over the weekend, according to Reuters, killing dozens and widening the front line.

Why It Matters: The shift marks Trump's sharpest break yet with Moscow after months of criticism that he slow‑walked aid. Last week he complained that he was &#8220;not happy with President Putin at all" before stating that he was <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/07/46360686/trump-to-make-a-major-statement-on-russia-on-monday-amid-escalating-ukraine-conflict-im-disappointed">preparing a "major statement"</a> on Russia ahead of Monday's meeting.
European capitals welcomed the weapons pool. Germany, Britain and Canada signaled they will join the purchase plan, Reuters said. Kyiv likewise applauded the move but urged Washington not to freeze direct shipments after Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/07/46361438/trump-says-i-dont-know-who-paused-ukraine-weapon-shipments-hegseth-did-not-inform-the-white-house-report">decision to pause deliveries</a> without notifying the White House rattled frontline commanders.
Trump argued that pairing weapon transfers with economic pain would compel Putin. "I use trade for a lot of things," Trump said. "But it's great for settling wars."

Sales of EVs and Plug-In Hybrid vehicles around the globe experienced a surge in June amid increased adoption of electric vehicles in multiple regions throughout the globe.
What Happened: EV sales jumped 24% year-on-year in June, with strong adoption in China as well as the European market, Reuters reported on Tuesday, citing data from market research firm Rho Motion.
However, EV sales were down 1% in the U.S. and would struggle to gain momentum this year due to President Donald Trump axing incentives aimed at EV adoption through the new spending bill, an expert cited in the report suggests.&nbsp;
The report also shows EV sales slowing down in Canada, marking the first time that North American sales were behind regions like Southeast Asia, as well as South and Central American countries.
Why It Matters: The news comes as the UK recently announced it was investing over $84 million towards <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46387992/uk-commits-84-million-to-charging-infrastructure-plans-944-million-subsidy-package-tesla-may-be-left-out">improving charging infrastructure</a> in the country, as well as working on a subsidy package worth more than $940 million to boost EV adoption.
However, in the U.S., Trump's budget cuts have posed a hurdle for EV sales as the government has officially axed the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46289556/trumps-tax-bill-axes-the-7500-ev-credit-heres-how-you-can-still-claim-it"> $7,500 EV credit</a> in the country amid a push for ICE-powered vehicles.&nbsp;
The administration has also relaxed CAFE or Corporate Average Fuel Economy norms, which <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46385263/tesla-rival-rivian-could-lose-a-major-revenue-stream-due-to-a">could pose a challenge</a> for EV makers' revenue. Sluggish Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) sales have also pushed Panasonic Holdings Corp (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PCRFF#OTC">PCRFF</a>) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PCRHY#OTC">PCRHY</a>) to delay plans to ramp up EV <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46362407/tesla-sales-slump-prompts-panasonic-to-delay-4-billion-us-battery-plant-expansion-report">battery production in the U.S</a>.

Electric Vehicle Sales Soar Worldwide In June: US Falls Behind Amid Trump's Incentive Rollbacks: Report

The CNN Money Fear and Greed index showed an improvement in the overall market sentiment, while the index remained in the &#8220;Extreme Greed&#8221; zone on Monday.
U.S. stocks settled mixed on Monday, with the Dow Jones index recording gains during the session following President Donald Trump&#8216;s weekend announcement of a sweeping 30% tariff on all imports from the European Union and Mexico, set to take effect August 1.
Investor sentiment was further clouded by inflation concerns ahead of Tuesday&#8217;s consumer price index release. Economists anticipate an annual rise from 2.4% to 2.7%, suggesting that companies may be starting to pass on higher import costs to consumers.
Fastenal Company (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FAST#NASDAQ">FAST</a>) reported better-than-expected second-quarter earnings. Shares of Daré Bioscience, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DARE#NASDAQ">DARE</a>) jumped around 23% on Monday after the company announced interim safety and efficacy results from its ongoing Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating the contraceptive effectiveness, safety and acceptability of Ovaprene.
Most sectors on the S&amp;P 500 closed on a positive note, with financial, communication services and real estate stocks recording the biggest gains on Monday. However, energy and materials stocks bucked the overall market trend, closing the session lower.
The Dow Jones closed higher by 88 points to 44,459.65 on Monday. The S&amp;P 500 rose 0.14% to 6,268.56, while the Nasdaq Composite gained 0.27% at 20,640.33 during Monday's session.
Investors are awaiting earnings results from JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>), Wells Fargo &amp; Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WFC#NYSE">WFC</a>) and Citigroup Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/C#NYSE">C</a>) today.
What is CNN Business Fear &amp; Greed Index?
At a current reading of 76.4, the index remained in the &#8220;Extreme Greed&#8221; zone on Monday, versus a prior reading of 75.6.
The Fear &amp; Greed Index is a measure of the current market sentiment. It is based on the premise that higher fear exerts pressure on stock prices, while higher greed has the opposite effect. The index is calculated based on seven equal-weighted indicators. The index ranges from 0 to 100, where 0 represents maximum fear and 100 signals maximum greediness.

Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) is under growing pressure from investors to overhaul its artificial intelligence strategy, after a sharp decline in its share price this year.
Check out the current price of AAPL stock here.
What Happened: Apple has lost approximately $630 billion in market value in 2025, with investors increasingly frustrated over the company's perceived lag in AI innovation, Bloomberg reported <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-07-14/apple-faces-calls-to-reboot-ai-strategy-with-shares-slumping">on</a> Monday.
Investors are now urging Apple to depart from its conservative M&amp;A approach and consider substantial acquisitions in the AI space.
&#8220;Historically, Apple does not do big mergers and acquisitions,&#8221; said Atif Malik, an analyst at Citigroup Inc., noting that Apple's last major deal was its $3 billion acquisition of Beats in 2014. However, he believes investor sentiment would improve if Apple were to buy or take a significant stake in a well-established AI company.

Apple&#8217;s shares have plummeted by 14.45% this year, while its competitors, such as Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>), are thriving due to their substantial investments in AI.
The company's lack of compelling AI features within its device ecosystem has become a major sticking point for investors.
Why It Matters: In February 2025, it was reported that Apple and Meta are in a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/02/43759759/apple-and-meta-in-race-to-develop-ai-powered-humanoid-robots">race to develop AI-powered humanoid robots</a>.
Investor frustration deepened last month following the underwhelming Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC). Critics noted the absence of major AI updates, particularly a delayed Siri overhaul. Bloomberg's Mark Gurman described the event's AI showing as "startlingly minimal."
Last month, Apple&#8217;s Worldwide Developers Conference ended up being underwhelming, leading to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/06/45892008/apples-ai-future-in-question-stock-falls-after-wwdc-2025-event">investor concerns</a>. The market's response indicated that the minor updates and postponed revamp of Siri didn't resonate well. Bloomberg's Mark Gurman described the absence of "any real new AI features" as "startling."
Despite having the resources, Apple has been hesitant to make significant acquisitions in the AI space. That may soon change, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46041473/apple-eyes-perplexity-ai-acquisition-while-facing-shareholder-lawsuit-over-exaggerated-ai-progress-report">with internal discussions underway</a> regarding a potential acquisition of AI search startup Perplexity AI.
Apple&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46382991/apples-leadership-shake-up-metas-new-hire-and-the-anticipated-iphone-fold-this-week-in-appleverse">recent leadership changes</a> have also sparked discussions about the company&#8217;s future direction.
Price Action: Apple closed Monday at $208.62, down 1.20%, and fell further to $208.01 in after-hours trading, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a>.

Satoshi Nakamoto, Bitcoin's (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) mysterious creator, is estimated to be worth a lot more money now that the leading cryptocurrency is on fire.
What Happened: As of this writing, the wallet linked to Satoshi owned about $128.67 billion in Bitcoin, <a href="https://intel.arkm.com/explorer/entity/satoshi-nakamoto">according </a>to blockchain analytics firm Arkham, up from a little over $119 billion a week ago.
Had Satoshi been ranked on the Forbes' Real-Time Billionaires <a href="https://www.forbes.com/real-time-billionaires/#716aba393d78">list</a>, they would be the 11th-richest person in the world today.&nbsp;
Notably, Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates was ranked below Satoshi, having an estimated wealth of $117.2 billion, while legendary investor Warren Buffett was just above at $142 billion.
It is collectively believed that Satoshi owns <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/who-is-satoshi-nakamoto">roughly 1.1 million Bitcoin</a>, making up 5.5% of the coin&#8217;s circulating supply.

Why It Matters: The jump in fortunes follows Bitcoin's blazing rally that has pushed the world's most valued <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/25/07/46407297/bitcoin-retraces-from-highs-ahead-of-cpi-report-ethereum-gains-and-dogecoin-falls-analyst-says-135000-140000-isnt-hopium-but-one-clean-breakout-away">digital asset past $123,000</a>
Nakamoto's real identity has been a subject of intense speculation since the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/who-is-satoshi-nakamoto">inception</a> of Bitcoin in 2009. Several personalities, including early Bitcoin developers Peter Todd and Len Sassaman, as well as Twitter founder Jack Dorsey, have been <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43803016/is-jack-dorsey-the-mysterious-satoshi-nakamoto-vanecks-matthew-sigel-points-key-evidence-linking-twitter-founder-to">linked </a>to the mysterious personality throughout the years.

Jim Cramer believes that Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) is poised to get a significant boost with the U.S. government assuring <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46407517/nvidia-resumes-h20-shipments-to-china-as-jensen-huang-meets-trump-beijing-officials-fully-compliant-rtx-pro-aims-to-bridge-ai-cold-war">licenses for the sale of its H20 chips</a> or general processing units to China, a move that could considerably impact market sentiment.
Check out the current price of <a href="https://benzinga.com/quote/nvda">NVDA stock here</a>.
What Happened: This development follows a period where U.S. export curbs, initiated in April, had effectively halted H20 chip sales to Beijing, despite the chips being designed to bypass earlier controls.
The news has drawn immediate and enthusiastic reactions from market commentators. Cramer, host of CNBC&#8217;s &#8220;Mad Money,&#8221; took to X and said, &#8220;This Nvidia news, so huge, could turn the Nasdaq futures around.&#8221;

During the time of writing this article, Nvidia shares were up 4.28% on Robinhood. 
Similarly, Nigam Arora, known for his market analysis, posted that &#8220;More bullishness in stock futures on $nvda getting permission to sell H20 chips to China for AI.&#8221;

Nvidia confirmed the breakthrough in a statement Tuesday, expressing hopes to &#8220;start deliveries soon.&#8221;
This turnaround comes after extensive lobbying efforts by Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, including a meeting last week with U.S. President Donald Trump, where Huang reiterated Nvidia&#8217;s commitment to American job creation and AI leadership. Cramer also appreciated Huang for his efforts to turn this around.

The potential change in U.S. stance also aligns with a preliminary trade framework agreed upon last month between Washington and Beijing, which included the easing of tech export curbs.

He added that this, combined with upcoming export control-compliant RTX PRO AI chips, should act as a &#8220;fresh growth catalyst.&#8221;
Meanwhile, NVDA stock ended 0.52% lower at $164.07 apiece on Monday. The stock has advanced 18.62% on a year-to-date basis and 27.74% over a year.
