The company held $47.2 million in cash and equivalents as of January 31, 2025.

Dell stock is exhibiting a strongly bullish trend. Its share price is trading above its five-day, 20-day and 50-day exponential moving averages. This suggests sustained buying pressure, reinforcing the stock's positive momentum.
The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator at 0.94 further supports the bullish outlook, signaling potential upward movement. Additionally, the 20-day and 50-day simple moving averages (SMA) at $111.04 and $112.98, respectively, are either below or right next to the stock, indicating continued strength in the short- to mid-term.
However, there are some mixed signals. The eight-day SMA at $116.52 creates a bearish signal, suggesting some near-term resistance. The 200-day SMA at $122.99, well above the current price, indicates a longer-term downtrend. This could act as a hurdle for sustained gains.
With a Relative Strength Index (RSI) of 49.90, DELL stock is in neutral territory, suggesting the stock is neither overbought nor oversold. Investors should watch for a break above the 200-day SMA for confirmation of a sustained bullish trend, while any dips toward the 50-day SMA could present buying opportunities.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Dell Analysts See 24% Upside</h2>
Ratings &amp; Consensus Estimates:<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/DELL/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> The consensus analyst rating</a> on Dell stock stands at a Buy currently with a price target of $134.05. The latest analyst ratings from Citigroup, BofA Securities and Morgan Stanley imply a 23.89% upside for Dell stock, with an average price target of $141.
DELL Price Action: Dell stock was trading at $112.85 at the time of publication.

&#8220;In 2024, we unveiled our new corporate growth strategy, shifting our focus from commercializing our COVID-19 vaccine to maximizing the value of our cutting-edge technology platform through pipeline expansion and partnerships for our development-stage vaccine candidates and our Matrix-M adjuvant,&#8221; said&nbsp;John C. Jacobs, President and Chief Executive Officer, Novavax. &#8220;As we look to 2025 and beyond, we believe we are well positioned to potentially create significant value for all stakeholders.&#8221;
Nuvaxovid sales reached $49.8 million, down from $251.5 million a year ago. The company ended 2024 with over&nbsp;$1 billion&nbsp;in cash and accounts receivables.
Novavax has transitioned the lead commercial responsibility of Nuvaxovid to Sanofi SA (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SNY#NASDAQ">SNY</a>) for select markets beginning with the 2025-<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/05/38758287/some-breather-for-novavaxs-covid-19-vaccine-inks-multibillion-dollar-deal-with-sanofi-and-erases-" rel="noreferrer noopener">2026 vaccination season</a>.
Since Novavax is reliant on Sanofi&#8217;s sales forecasts for certain revenue components, these will not be included in the 2025 Revenue Framework at this time.
Novavax expects to achieve adjusted licensing, royalties, and other revenue of between&nbsp;$300 million&nbsp;and $350 million in 2025. Novavax is eligible to receive royalties in the high teens to low twenties percent on Sanofi sales.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Novavax Stock Prediction For 2025</h2>

Shares of Novavax have an average 1-year price target of $19.0, representing an expected upside of 141.41%.
Because of differences in assumptions, analysts can arrive at very different price targets and recommendations.

The street high price target from HC Wainwright &amp; Co. is $19.0, while the street low from HC Wainwright &amp; Co. is $19.0.

On Thursday, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/taiwan" rel="noreferrer noopener">Taiwan Economy Minister</a> Kuo Jyh-huei told Reuters that Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>)&nbsp;would need government permission for overseas joint ventures.
Nonetheless, there are no restrictions on making the most advanced chips overseas other than for China.

Taiwan Semiconductor Faces Government Scrutiny on Overseas Ventures Amid Intel Stake Rumors

Katherine Doherty of Bloomberg recently wrote a wonderful and yet frightening article titled, "Wall Street Enters Darker Age with Most Stock Trading Hidden" (1)
Here are the first few paragraphs of the article……. "Here's a surprising new fact about the world's largest and most-liquid public equity market: Most of the activity on it isn't public anymore.
For the first time on record, the majority of all trading in US stocks is now consistently occurring outside the country's exchanges, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
This off-exchange activity — which happens internally at major firms or on alternative platforms known as dark pools — is on course to account for a record 51.8% of traded volume in January. Barring an unexpected dip, it will be the fifth monthly record in a row, and the third month running that hidden trades make up more than half of all volume."
My firm, <a href="http://lcmcapital.com">LCM Capital Management</a>, thinks this should scare anyone who buys and sells stocks, ETFs, or other securities on our exchanges and believes that they are getting the best price. I know for a fact that the "dark-web" is not a good place to be, so I cannot imagine trading in "dark pools" is good for us either, unless of course you are a large institution.
The article states that, "the number of off-exchange venues known as alternative-trading systems, or ATS, offer an alternative, anonymous way to process trades and has been growing." That does not sound very positive to us. "These ATS use different mechanisms to match buyers and sellers without the desired price being displayed on a public exchange, or automated auctions where parties express the value they are willing to buy or sell stocks for. Using off-exchange venues helps institutional investors limit information leaking to the market and adversely affecting prices." This strikes us as a polite way of saying this is being done for the betterment of the big guys at the expense of the little guys.
Joe Saluzzi of Themis Trading. said "The bigger institutions seem to have a better experience where they can command more value." Hmmm, I know myself and our clients would sure like a better experience and more value when we are buying or selling stocks, how about you?
We are a federally Registered Investment Advisor (RIA) regulated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), which is tasked with protecting investors &#8211; and to their credit, they've made efforts when it comes to the ATS. However, according to the article some of their proposals have been stymied with only a few watered-down ones passing.&nbsp; This leads us to wonder if the game is rigged if our regulators can't seem to break-in.
The Head of Strategic Operations and Public Policy at NASDAQ, Chuck Mack, says, "the worry is that the move toward off-exchange could ultimately make pricing less efficient and drive-up costs for investors and issuers." I feel comfortable telling Chuck, remove the word "could" because it "will," and once again, be at the expense of the little guy.
If you have read any of our previous blogs, you know LCM Capital Management despises these firms and big institutions and why trading the market is a fool's game. We believe the system is rigged and Ms. Doherty's article is telling you as much.
So, what's an investor to do?
<ul>
<li>Remember investing is not a game and investing is not synonymous with trading. We have just explained to you that the playing field is not level and from the looks of it, only getting worse. </li>
<li>Control what you can control, namely, your fees, your investment taxes and avoid owning actively traded mutual funds (our next blog will explain to you why that is). Keep in mind, one should invest for the long-term and turn off or mute the talking heads on financial cable TV stations – they know no more than you or LCM Capital Management. </li>
<li>Be skeptical of anyone promising to "beat the market" through stock picking or active trading strategies. The reality is, if the institutions with all their resources are pulling the strings behind the scenes, then the average investor has even less of a chance of consistently winning. </li>
<li>Focus on strategies that do not rely on playing Wall Street's game. Broad diversification, disciplined rebalancing, and tax-efficient investing will serve you far better than trying to outmaneuver an industry that increasingly relies on shrouded exchanges.</li>
</ul>
There is a better way!

Vital Farms's Options Frenzy: What You Need to Know

<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/25/02/43827291/exclusive-will-trumps-tariffs-hurt-or-help-stock-market-59-say-this">Tariffs</a>, elevated mortgage rates, and the cost of maintaining a home amid soaring insurance and energy costs have caused pessimism amongst the home builders tasked with adding housing inventory.
The information comes from the National Association of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43246599/bofa-downgrades-dr-horton-and-smith-douglas-citing-cost-pressures-and-weak-roe-outlook">Home Builders</a><a href="https://www.nahb.org/news-and-economics/housing-economics/indices/housing-market-index"> NAHB</a>/Wells Fargo Housing Market Index, which tracks builders&#8217; confidence in single-family homes based on a monthly survey. February marked the lowest confidence level in five months.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Tariffs</h2>
According to NAHB,<a href="https://www.nahb.org/advocacy/top-priorities/material-costs/how-tariffs-impact-home-building"> 7%</a> of all goods used in new residential construction originate from a foreign nation. &#8220;With 32% of appliances and 30% of softwood lumber coming from international trade, uncertainty over the scale and scope of tariffs has builders further concerned about costs,&#8221; NAHB Chief Economist Robert Dietz said on its website.

NAHB Chairman Carl Harris<a href="https://www.nahb.org/-/media/NAHB/advocacy/docs/letter-to-president-potential-tariffs-013125.pdf?rev=4f33c6137e9846b1866e4692241d2a1d&amp;hash=C2AEFB98FFB519145B3C4DF50296B2B8"> sent a letter</a> to President Donald Trump urging him to exempt &#8220;critical construction materials&#8221; from his tariff policies.
&#8220;Imposing additional tariffs on these imports will lead to higher material costs, which will ultimately be passed on to home buyers in the form of increased housing prices,&#8221; he said in the letter dated Jan. 31.
<a href="https://www.corelogic.com/intelligence/will-trump-tariffs-harm-home-affordability/#framing-affordability">CoreLogic</a>, a real-estate data company, estimates that the higher costs of building materials could add between $17,000 and $22,000 to the cost of building an averagely priced newly constructed home, which is currently about $422,000.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Interest Rates</h2>
Lower interest rates could have made the Trump tariffs easier to digest. However, despite optimism last year for a series of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43319060/first-rate-cut-in-june-if-at-all-in-2025-economist-says-as-federal-reserve-holds-rates-steady">interest rate cuts</a>, stubborn inflation has caused the Fed to keep rates where they are, which is currently just below 7%, too high to move the needle on home buying.&nbsp;
&#8220;It will take people longer to buy homes as they wrestle with affordability,&#8221; Holden Lewis, home and mortgage expert at NerdWallet told<a href="https://www.marketwatch.com/picks/mortgage-rates-will-pull-back-4-pros-predict-where-mortgage-rates-will-go-in-february-2025-5e015a1c"> MarketWatch</a>. &#8220;As homes linger on the market, the inventory of for-sale homes will keep rising. This increase in supply will diminish upward pressure on prices. Home prices will rise this spring, but not as swiftly as they rose in the past.&#8221;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Insurance</h2>
Compounding the effect of tariffs and interest rates is the soaring cost of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/02/43728496/with-insurance-maintenance-costs-and-rising-home-prices-suze-orman-says-its-ok-to-just-rent">homeowners insurance</a>, particularly in disaster-prone states, as most recently seen with the LA wildfires. According to<a href="https://home.treasury.gov/system/files/311/Analyses_of_US_Homeowners_Insurance_Markets_2018-2022_Climate-Related_Risks_and_Other_Factors_0.pdf"> figures</a> released by the US Treasury Department for 2018-2022, insurance premiums have risen sharply across the country, with people living in the greatest climate-driven risks experiencing the steepest rises. Those in the top 20% of riskiest places for such perils paid, on average, 82% more than those in the 20% lowest climate risk zip codes.&nbsp;
This year,<a href="https://www.bankrate.com/insurance/homeowners-insurance/homeowners-insurance-cost/"> Bankrate</a> showed that the national average cost of home insurance is $2,258 per year for a policy with a $300,000 dwelling limit. —amounting to about $188 per month, a<a href="https://www.cnbc.com/select/homeowners-insurance-skyrocketing-how-to-lower-premium/"> marked increase</a> on the preceding two years.
The<a href="https://www.wsj.com/economy/housing/home-insurance-property-tax-vs-mortgage-cost-43ab76ed"> Wall Street Journal</a> calculated that insurance and taxes make up more than half of the monthly mortgage payment for 9% of single-family mortgages, up from less than 4% at the end of 2014. Adding tariffs and increased construction and home prices to the mix makes homeownership more difficult than ever for many Americans.
