Exxon Mobil shares are trading lower after the International Chamber of Commerce Tribunal made a ruling related to its contractual dispute with Hess that favored Chevron.

MEI Pharma, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MEIP#NASDAQ">MEIP</a>) stock is trading higher on Friday, with a session volume of 35.64 million compared to the average volume of 29.8K, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/feature/newsfeed" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">as per data from Benzinga Pro</a>.
The company on Friday entered into a private investment in public equity (PIPE) for the purchase and sale of 29.2 million shares $3.42 per share, for expected aggregate gross proceeds of <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/07/b46490326/mei-pharma-announces-100-000-000-private-placement-to-initiate-litecoin-treasury-strategy-becoming" rel="noreferrer noopener">approximately $100 million</a>.
In connection with the closing of the transaction, MEI will appoint Charlie Lee to its board of directors. Current member Taheer Datoo will resign, and GSR will serve as its digital asset and treasury management advisor to oversee the implementation of its Litecoin Treasury Strategy.
Charlie Lee and GSR acted as lead investors, alongside participation from the Litecoin Foundation, crypto venture capital firms, and infrastructure providers.
The transaction marks a significant milestone in MEI&#8217;s long-term strategic plan.
It establishes MEI as the first and only publicly traded company to adopt Litecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ltc/usd">LTC</a>) as a treasury reserve asset. Litecoin is a peer-to-peer cryptocurrency created by Charlie Lee in October 2011.
Due to its similarities to Bitcoin, Litecoin is often referred to as the &#8220;silver to Bitcoin&#8217;s gold.&#8221;
As one of the longest-running blockchains with 100% uptime since its inception, Litecoin has demonstrated a proven track record of growth and reliability with significant enterprise-grade use cases. By integrating Litecoin into its treasury operations, MEI gains access to a decentralized monetary asset that complements its cash management framework.
MEIP Price Action: MEI Pharma stock is up 31.54% at $5.92 at the last check on Friday.

Why Is MEI Pharma Stock Soaring On Friday?

It&#8217;s a cautious end to the week on Wall Street, as earnings from Netflix Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/reiteration/25/07/46498606/netflixs-blockbuster-profits-overshadowed-by-anemic-engagement">failed to impress investors</a>. 
Meanwhile, continued trade tensions kept investors on the sidelines, preventing further gains in tech-heavy indexes already <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets">sitting near record levels.</a>
The S&amp;P 500 remained pinned near the 6,300 mark, a key level it has failed to decisively break for the past two weeks. 
The Nasdaq 100 edged down to 23,040, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average slipped 250 points, or 0.5%, by midday trading in New York.
According to the Financial Times, President Donald Trump is pushing for a sweeping 15% to 20% minimum tariff on all European Union goods. He is also rejecting any cut to the current 25% duties on EU car imports. Trump has signaled that if no deal is reached by Aug. 1, a 30% blanket tariff on EU imports could be imposed.
Despite the downbeat tone on Wall Street, fresh data on Main Street offered some positive signals. 
The University of Michigan's consumer sentiment index came in at a five-month high for June. One-year inflation expectations fell to 4.4%, down from 5% in the prior month, easing concerns that tariffs are stoking broader price pressures.
In Fed talks, Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller affirmed his support for a July rate cut. He said he may dissent if the Federal Open Market Committee chooses to keep rates unchanged, adding to signs of internal division within the Fed ahead of the July 30 meeting.
In commodities, gold rose 0.4% to $3,360 per ounce as the U.S. dollar weakened
In crypto, Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) fell 1.7% to $117,000 levels. The cryptocurrency is on track for a weekly decline after hitting record highs above $123,000 earlier in the week.

Trading Halt: Halted at 1:15:06 p.m. ET - Trading Halt: Halt News Pending

Schlumberger shares are trading lower after the company reported Q2 financial results, issued expectations for flat-to-low single-digit revenue growth in H2 2025, and stated that tariffs will cost between 20-to-40 basis points of margin in H2. Additionally, Piper Sandler lowered its price target on the stock from $44 to $42.

In a significant reversal and a major boost for the embattled vaping company, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on Thursday authorized the marketing of five JUUL Labs Inc. e-cigarette products, including the JUUL device and its Virginia Tobacco and Menthol flavored JUULpods in both 3% and 5% nicotine concentrations. 
This decision, following an <a href="https://www.fda.gov/tobacco-products/ctp-newsroom/fda-authorizes-marketing-tobacco-and-menthol-flavored-juul-e-cigarette-products">extensive scientific review</a>, permits these products to be legally marketed to adults 21 and older in the U.S., marking a crucial turning point for a company that has faced billions in lawsuits and a near-bankruptcy experience due to its role in the surge of youth vaping.
The FDA determined that the evidence provided by the company, including new information the company submitted in response to a deficiency letter from the FDA, demonstrates that these specific products meet the legal standard set by the 2009 Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act to market new tobacco products in the United States.

&#8220;Regarding these specific products, the applicant submitted robust data, including a two-year longitudinal cohort study, demonstrating high rates of adults completely switching from cigarettes to either the tobacco- or menthol-flavored JUUL products,&#8221; FDA said in a statement on Thursday.
The approval permits these specific e-cigarette products to be legally marketed in the U.S. to adults 21 and older. Juul was clouded with several lawsuits that claimed that Juul and Altria Group Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MO#NYSE">MO</a>) misled consumers, especially young people, about how addictive and risky their products were.
Juul agreed to pay $255 million as part of the settlement, and Altria paid $45.5 million. A federal judge in California approved the release of nearly $202 million in early October, after deducting taxes and other costs. The money is being split among <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/10/41516090/social-media-reacts-as-juul-users-get-compensation-through-venmo-after-300m-class-action-settlements" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">842,000 approved claims</a>.
Citing Goldman Sachs analysis, the Wall Street Journal <a href="https://www.wsj.com/business/fda-authorizes-juul-e-cigarettes-6ad37963" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">reported</a> Juul is now the No. 3 e-cigarette brand in the U.S., after Vuse and Geek Bar. Juul represents about 18% of e-cigarette sales in U.S. stores.
Juul was once <a target="_blank" href="https://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/juul-continue-selling-tobacco-menthol-cigarettes-fda-123836275" rel="noreferrer noopener">worth</a> more than $13 billion, and its compact, stylish e-cigarettes changed how people saw and used vaping devices. But the company later had to cut hundreds of jobs and spend billions settling lawsuits related to its part in the surge of youth vaping.
In 2022, Juul was on the brink of bankruptcy amid a dispute with the FDA over whether its products could <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/large-cap/22/11/29678913/juul-shelves-bankruptcy-preparations-with-new-cash-infusion-cuts-third-of-its-workforce" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">remain on the U.S. market</a>. In March 2023, parent company Altria Group divested Juul, recording a loss <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/large-cap/23/03/31492174/juul-is-divested-altria-now-focuses-on-development-efforts-for-smoke-free-products-updates-2028-go" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">of at least $12.5 billion</a>.

12 Information Technology Stocks Moving In Friday's Intraday Session

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>) stock traded lower Friday after its Thursday gains following upbeat quarterly results.
CFO Wendell Huang told Bloomberg that the contract chipmaker plans to stay cautious with spending in 2025 while accelerating global expansion to meet booming AI chip demand.
The company may invest up to $42 billion in capex this year, but is closely watching macro and foreign exchange risks, especially sharp currency swings that threaten margins.

The key Nvidia (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) and Apple (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) supplier is fast-tracking its Arizona projects, aiming to begin production at a second plant by 2027 and potentially advancing a third due to customer demand.
Huang said the company expects up to 30% of its advanced 2nm capacity from Arizona eventually.
Meanwhile, Taiwan Semiconductor continues to review hedging strategies to navigate currency volatility, which Huang called a significant uncertainty.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Earnings</h2>
Taiwan Semiconductor reported <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/earnings/25/07/46462634/nvidia-supplier-taiwan-semiconductor-on-a-roll-profit-explodes-with-strong-margin-growth" rel="noreferrer noopener">strong second-quarter results</a>, beating expectations on revenue, profit, and margins, driven by surging AI chip demand.
The company posted quarterly revenue of $30.07 billion, up 44% year-over-year in USD terms and 38.6% in New Taiwanese dollars, topping guidance and driven by advanced 3nm and 5nm chip technologies.
Net income jumped 61% year over year to $2.47 per share, while gross margin expanded to 58.6% and operating margin hit 49.6%.
High-performance computing and smartphone chips contributed 87% of revenue, with North America accounting for 75% of total sales.
For the third quarter, it expects revenue between $31.8 billion and $33 billion, with gross margins of 55.5%–57.5%. It cites strong demand for its cutting-edge process nodes.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Analyst Opinion</h2>
Needham analyst Charles Shi maintained a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/TSM/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">Buy rating on</a> Taiwan Semiconductor with a price forecast of $270.
Shi commented that the chipmaker delivered another strong beat-and-raise quarter, raising the fiscal 2025 revenue growth outlook from 24-26% to ~30%.
The analyst highlighted that following a substantial 18% sequential growth in the second quarter (vs. 13% sequential guidance), Taiwan Semiconductor noted another 8% sequential growth in the third quarter (vs. prior implied guidance of ~flat sequential growth).
The company remains cautious on macro uncertainties and implied guidance for the fourth quarter represents a high-single-digit decline sequentially.
It hints that they are working on 2026 pricing increases, potentially offsetting foreign exchange induced gross margin dilutions, he told.
Taiwan Semiconductor has not received a signal from Nvidia to resume H20 production but sees substantial AI upside due to access to China, Shi noted.
As per the analyst, it signals continued CapEx growth in the future but hints at lower capital intensity in the future.
Shi projected third-quarter revenue of $32.4 billion (prior $29.3 billion) and EPADS of $2.65 (prior $2.40).
Price Action:&nbsp;TSM stock is trading lower by 0.37% to $244.70 at last check Friday.
