ImmunoPrecise Antibodies shares are trading higher on possible continued strength after the company announced on Tuesday its AI-discovered dengue vaccine is safe and triggers an immune response.

Vor Biopharma Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VOR#NASDAQ">VOR</a>) saw its stock climb Thursday following a strategic licensing agreement and a major capital raise to support its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/movers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">push into autoimmune therapies</a>.
The developments mark a pivotal evolution for the Cambridge-based biotech, which was originally launched by PureTech Health plc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PRTC#NASDAQ">PRTC</a>).
Vor Bio signed an exclusive global licensing deal with RemeGen Co., Ltd., giving it rights outside Greater China to develop and commercialize telitacicept, a dual-action fusion protein already approved in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/06/b46108474/puretech-founded-entity-vor-bio-announces-exclusive-global-license-agreement-with-remegen-for-late" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">China for multiple autoimmune disorders</a>.

Under the agreement, Vor will pay $125 million upfront, $45 million in cash, and $80 million in stock warrants, along with potential milestone payments exceeding $4 billion and tiered royalties.
Alongside the licensing news, Vor announced on Wednesday a private placement in public equity, which is expected to raise roughly <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/06/g46104566/vor-bio-announces-175-million-private-placement" rel="noreferrer noopener">$175 million in gross proceeds</a>.
The financing involves the issuance of 700 million pre-funded warrants at $0.25 each, with shares exercisable at $0.0001 upon shareholder approval. The transaction is anticipated to close on June 27, pending standard conditions.
On Thursday, Wedbush analyst David Nierengarten reiterated a Neutral rating on the company, and maintained <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/VOR/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">a&nbsp;40 cents&nbsp;price forecast</a>.
Meanwhile, biotech veteran Jean-Paul Kress, M.D. has stepped in as CEO and Chairman of the company, replacing Dr. Robert Ang, who will stay on as a strategic advisor through October.
Kress brings decades of executive experience, including past roles at MorphoSys, Syntimmune, and current board service at Sanofi (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SNY#NASDAQ">SNY</a>).
He expressed enthusiasm for leading Vor through its transition into a leading autoimmune innovator. As of May 8, PureTech held a 2.1% beneficial ownership stake in Vor Bio, reflecting its founding role in the company.
According to&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://pro.benzinga.com/?gspk=YWRhbWVja2VydDUzMzY&amp;gsxid=zBMR4PKmcgBw" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga Pro</a>, VOR stock has lost over 30% in the past year.
Price Action: VOR shares are trading higher by 112.8% to $1.18&nbsp;at last check Thursday.

Nano Labs shares are trading lower after the company announced a $50 million offering of Class A ordinary stock and warrants.

Shares of QuantumScape Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QS#NYSE">QS</a>) are surging again on Thursday, building on Wednesday&#8217;s gains, following a major production announcement.
What To Know: The stock is continuing its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/06/46098476/quantumscape-stock-is-soaring-wednesday-heres-why">upward momentum</a> Thursday morning after the company revealed the successful integration of its advanced Cobra separator process into its baseline cell production. As of mid-morning, the stock was trading at $6.73, a notable increase from its previous close.
This key manufacturing milestone is a critical step for the solid-state battery developer as it aims for large-scale commercialization. The Cobra process is designed to enable faster, more energy-efficient production of the company&#8217;s proprietary ceramic separators, a core component of its lithium-metal battery technology.
Dr. Siva Sivaram, CEO of QuantumScape, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/06/b46083543/quantumscape-achieves-major-milestone-cobra-separator-process-enters-baseline-production">highlighted</a> the significance of the development, stating, &#8220;By significantly improving throughput and shrinking the equipment footprint, Cobra gives us a powerful path forward for commercializing our next-generation battery technology.&#8221;

Per QuantumScape, the new process features a 25-fold improvement in heat treatment speed compared to the prior-generation &#8220;Raptor&#8221; process. 
This leap in manufacturing efficiency is crucial for the company&#8217;s goal of establishing a scalable gigafactory production line and is seen by investors as a positive sign for the future of its innovative battery technology.
Analyst Ratings: Following the strong two-day surge, QuantumScape&#8217;s stock is now trading <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/QS/analyst-ratings">well above</a> the most recent price targets set by analysts from firms like Baird and Goldman Sachs. 
Notably, there have not been any public analyst rating or price target revisions since the company&#8217;s pivotal Cobra process announcement sparked the rally earlier this week.
Price Action: According to data from <a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro</a>, QS shares are trading higher by 18.6% to $6.73 Thursday morning. The stock has a 52-week high of $9.52 and a 52-week low of $3.40.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy QS Stock</h2>
Besides going to a brokerage platform to purchase a share &#8211; or fractional share &#8211; of stock, you can also gain access to shares either by buying an exchange traded fund (ETF) that holds the stock itself, or by allocating yourself to a strategy in your 401(k) that would seek to acquire shares in a mutual fund or other instrument. 
For example, in QuantumScape&#8217;s case, it is in the Consumer Discretionary sector. An ETF will likely hold shares in many liquid and large companies that help track that sector, allowing an investor to gain exposure to the trends within that segment.

Wells Fargo analyst Alec Brondolo downgraded The Trade Desk from an Overweight rating to an Equal-Weight rating and lowered the price target <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/price-target/25/06/46115022/tesla-to-rally-around-45-here-are-10-top-analyst-forecasts-for-thursday">from $74 to $68</a>.

<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.

According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, SBA Communications's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 5.18%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.

In the current session, the stock is trading at $168.70, after a 0.49% spike. Over the past month, TE Connectivity Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TEL#NYSE">TEL</a>) stock increased by 4.82%, and in the past year, by 12.56%. With performance like this, long-term shareholders are optimistic but others are more likely to look into the price-to-earnings ratio to see if the stock might be overvalued.

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1750953636_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>TE Connectivity 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 91.49 in the Electronic Equipment, Instruments &amp; Components industry, TE Connectivity Inc. has a lower P/E ratio of 36.49. 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/2025/1750953636_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In summary, while the price-to-earnings ratio is a valuable tool for investors to evaluate a company's market performance, it should be used with caution. A low P/E ratio can be an indication of undervaluation, but it can also suggest weak growth prospects or financial instability. Moreover, the P/E ratio is just one of many metrics that investors should consider when making investment decisions, and it should be evaluated alongside other financial ratios, industry trends, and qualitative factors. By taking a comprehensive approach to analyzing a company's financial health, investors can make well-informed decisions that are more likely to lead to successful outcomes.
