Roche For 2025 Expects Mid-Single-Digit Sales Growth And High-Single-Digit Core EPS Growth

A PSA Airlines Bombardier CRJ700 regional jet collided in midair with a Sikorsky H-60 helicopter while it was nearing the runway at Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA) around 9 p.m. local time on Wednesday. The plane, with 60 passengers and four crew members onboard, fell into the Potomac River near the airport after the crash.
All takeoffs and landings were subsequently halted at the airport for the remainder of the evening.
Authorities held a news conference later and informed that the airport would be closed until at least 11 a.m. ET on Thursday.
Mayor of Washington DC, Muriel Bowser said in a statement that both aircraft are in the water. There are three people in the military helicopter, she said.
There are no updates on any survivors as of now. However, authorities also did not provide a death toll from the accident.
President Donald Trump on Thursday termed the air accident near Washington DC involving an American Airlines (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAL#NASDAQ">AAL</a>) plane and another army helicopter on Wednesday night a "bad situation that looks like it should have been prevented."
&#8220;The airplane was on a perfect and routine line of approach to the airport. The helicopter was going straight at the airplane for an extended period of time. It is a CLEAR NIGHT, the lights on the plane were blazing, why didn't the helicopter go up or down, or turn. Why didn't the control tower tell the helicopter what to do instead of asking if they saw the plane. This is a bad situation that looks like it should have been prevented. NOT GOOD!!!,&#8221; Trump said in a post on Truth Social. 
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) said that PSA was operating Flight 5342 for American Airlines, and it had departed from Wichita, Kansas. United States Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth confirmed that the helicopter involved in the accident was an Army UH-60 helicopter from Bravo Company, 12th aviation battalion out of Davison Army Airfield, Fort Belvoir during a training flight. Hegseth added that both the Army and the Department of Defense have launched an investigation into the accident. 
American Airlines CEO Robert Isom said in a statement that it is cooperating with the National Transportation Safety Board&#8217;s investigation into the accident. Isom said that he himself is departing to Washington DC.

Caterpillar Gears Up For Q4 Print; Here Are The Recent Forecast Changes From Wall Street's Most Accurate Analysts

After <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/01/43300596/t-mobile-q4-earnings-beats-estimates-adds-1-9-million-postpaid-customers-targets-6-million-new-customers-in-2025">reporting</a> a &#8220;greatest growth year ever&#8221; as described by its president and CEO, Mike Sievert, T-Mobile US Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TMUS#NASDAQ">TMUS</a>) highlighted how its Starlink Satellite connectivity aided the victims of California wildfires. The company also boasted about its continuing 5G network dominance in the telecom industry.
What Happened: Despite the devastating effects of California wildfires on public infrastructure, T-Mobile&#8217;s network proved remarkably resilient.
CEO Sievert stated during its fourth quarter earnings call that the company activated its innovative Starlink satellite to cellular service on an emergency basis.
This allowed customers in impacted areas to send text messages and receive vital emergency alerts via satellite, even when traditional cell service was disrupted. With the help of TMUS&#8217;s advanced self-optimizing technologies, service was restored to 99% of affected customers within days, added Sievert.

Apart from this, T-Mobile had a banner year in 2024, adding more postpaid phone customers than ever before. This marked the third year in a row that the company added over three million, new postpaid phone subscribers.
The company&#8217;s focus on premium plans also paid off as 60% of new T-Mobile customers opted for it. This drove the average revenue per account to its highest point in over seven years.
&#8220;I promised you that we would not just defend, but we would further extend T-Mobile&#8217;s 5G network leadership for the long haul, and that is exactly what we&#8217;re doing,&#8221; said Sievert.

Why It Matters: &#8220;We captured our highest-ever share of industry net once again this year. And in Q4, for the 12th quarter in a row, we led the industry in broadband growth with 428,000 net additions,&#8221; added the CEO.
T-Mobile exceeded <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/01/43300596/t-mobile-q4-earnings-beats-estimates-adds-1-9-million-postpaid-customers-targets-6-million-new-customers-in-2025">expectations</a> in its latest quarterly earnings, reporting earnings per share of $2.57 and revenue of $21.87 billion, surpassing analyst estimates on both counts. This strong performance represents a significant increase over last year&#8217;s sales from the same quarter of $20.48 billion. &nbsp; 
Looking ahead, T-Mobile anticipates continued growth with projected postpaid net customer additions between 5.5 million and 6 million in the next fiscal.
The company also provided strong financial guidance, forecasting core adjusted EBITDA of $33.1 billion to $33.6 billion, net cash from operations of $26.8 billion to $27.5 billion, and adjusted free cash flow of $17.3 billion to $18.0 billion.
Price Action: TMUS shares closed 6.34% higher on Wednesday and advanced by 0.73% in after-hours to $236.86 per share, outpacing the exchange-traded fund tracking the Nasdaq 100 index Invesco QQQ Trust, Series 1 (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>), which declined 0.19% to $520.83.
According to the 24 analysts <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/TMUS/analyst-ratings">tracked by Benzinga</a>, TMUS has a consensus price target of $228.61 per share with a &#8216;buy&#8217; rating. The highest target price is $280 and the lowest is $160.
The average price target of $238.33 apiece between Benchmark, RBC Capital, and Wells Fargo implies a 0.62% upside.

Litecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ltc/usd">LTC</a>) soared to double-digit gains on Wednesday after the SEC formally acknowledged its exchange-traded fund application.
What happened: The regulator solicited comments on the ETF applied by digital asset trading firm Canary Capital and asked for those to be submitted 21 days after publication in the Federal Register.
"Interested persons are invited to submit written data, views, and arguments concerning the foregoing, including whether the proposed rule change is consistent with the Act," a statement from the filing read.
The development sparked over a 11% increase in LTC, making it the biggest 24-hour gainer among coins valued at $1 billion or more. Its trading volume nearly doubled to $1.19 billion.
Leading ETF analyst Eric Balchunas said the Canary Capital ETF filing was "by far the furthest along checking all the boxes," since <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/07/39992759/ethereum-etfs-debut-on-u-s-exchanges-a-new-era-for-digital-assets">the approval of</a> spot Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>)-based ETFs last year.

Interestingly, the SEC described Litecoin as &#8220;very similar&#8221; to Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>), the first cryptocurrency with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/01/43064882/bitcoin-etfs-outperform-in-first-year-but-solana-xrp-etfs-face-challenges-expert-says">ETF shares</a> trading on Wall Street.
"No single entity owns or operates the Litecoin Network, the infrastructure of which is collectively maintained by a decentralized user base," the SEC noted.
Why It Matters: The SEC acknowledgment comes roughly two weeks after the Nasdaq stock exchange <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/01/43047964/litecoin-surges-12-after-analyst-says-altcoin-most-likely-to-have-next-etf-after-bitcoin-ethereum">submitted a 19b-4 application</a> to list the ETF, which followed Canary Capital's amended S-1 registration application.
