IceCure Receives Notice of Patent Allowance in China for a Novel Cryogen Flow Control to Optimize Patient Cryoablation Outcomes stocknewsapi
ICCM
Cryogenic flow control enhances the efficacy and precision of cryoablation procedures

Robust IP portfolio becomes increasingly strategic as global interest in IceCure's  platform and next-generation cryoablation technologies grows following ProSense®'s recent FDA marketing authorization in low-risk breast cancer

, /PRNewswire/ -- IceCure Medical Ltd. (NASDAQ: ICCM) ("IceCure", "IceCure Medical" or the "Company"), developer of minimally-invasive cryoablation technology that destroys tumors by freezing as an option to surgical tumor removal, today announced it received a Notice of Allowance for a patent from the China National Intellectual Property Administration for its invention titled "Cryogen Flow Control" which relates to its next-generation XSense™ cryoablation system and probes.

A patent for this invention has been granted in Japan and is currently pending approval in the European Union, the U.S., and other major markets.

"We believe IceCure's commitment to technology innovation and our drive to make a significant impact on patient outcomes has resulted in our intellectual property portfolio in cryoablation reaching 55 patents granted and allowed across the globe," said Eyal Shamir, IceCure's Chief Executive Officer. "Our cryoablation systems and probes already have regulatory approval in China for indications including breast cancer, and we continue to innovate next-generation liquid nitrogen-based systems including XSense™ to further improve patient outcomes."

The notice of allowance for the patent addresses precise temperature control, which is crucial for efficacy and tissue safety in cryoablation procedures. Cryogenic flow control achieves this by utilizing sensor data to regulate the flow of cryogens, ensuring the desired temperature is reached and maintained at the distal tip of catheters and probes. This optimized cryogenic delivery enhances treatment effectiveness in cryoablation procedures. Advanced cryogen flow control systems may also offer functionalities, such as navigation and mapping support within the patient's anatomy, and be incorporated into a wide range of cryosurgical tools.

The ProSense® Cryoablation System is the first and only medical device to receive U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") marketing authorization for the local treatment of low-risk breast cancer with adjuvant endocrine therapy for women aged 70 and older, including patients who are not suitable for surgical alternatives for breast cancer treatment. A full list of benefits and risks can be found on the Company's website. XSense™ is the Company's next-generation cryoablation system.

About IceCure Medical

IceCure Medical (Nasdaq: ICCM) develops and markets advanced liquid-nitrogen-based cryoablation therapy systems for the destruction of tumors (benign and cancerous) by freezing, with the primary focus areas being breast, kidney, bone and lung cancer. Its minimally invasive technology is a safe and effective option to surgical tumor removal that is easily performed in a relatively short procedure. The Company's flagship ProSense® system is marketed and sold worldwide for the indications cleared and approved to date including in the U.S., Europe, and Asia.

Sabre Corporation Announces Early Participation Results of the Previously Announced Exchange Offers for Certain Senior Secured Debt Securities and Extends the Related Early Exchange Premium through the Expiration Date stocknewsapi
SABR
, /PRNewswire/ -- Sabre Corporation ("Sabre") (Nasdaq: SABR) today announced the initial results of the previously announced exchange offers (each, an "Exchange Offer" and together, the "Exchange Offers") by Sabre GLBL Inc. ("Sabre GLBL"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sabre, to exchange (i) any and all of its outstanding 8.625% Senior Secured Notes due 2027 (the "June 2027 Notes") and 11.250% Senior Secured Notes due 2027 (the "December 2027 Notes" and, together with the June 2027 Notes, the "2027 Notes") and (ii) up to the 2029 Notes Maximum Exchange Amount (as defined below) of its 10.750% Senior Secured Notes due 2029 (the "2029 Notes" and, together with the 2027 Notes, the "Existing Notes" and, each of them, a "series" of Existing Notes) for Sabre GLBL's new 10.750% Senior Secured Notes due 2030 (the "New Notes"), upon the terms and subject to the conditions described in the confidential offering circular, dated as of November 20, 2025, for the Exchange Offers (as it may be amended or supplemented, including by this press release, the "Offering Circular").

The maximum aggregate principal amount of New Notes that Sabre GLBL will issue in the Exchange Offer for the 2029 Notes equals to the 2029 Notes Maximum Exchange Amount as described below.

The maximum aggregate principal amount of New Notes that Sabre GLBL will issue in the Exchange Offer for the 2029 Notes equals to $379 million (as such amount may be amended by Sabre GLBL in its sole discretion, the "2029 Notes Maximum Exchange Amount"), which has been met as of the Early Exchange Date.

Sabre GLBL's obligation to accept for exchange the Existing Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn in each Exchange Offer is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions as described in the Offering Circular, including the consummation of a previously announced financing.

Assuming the satisfaction or waiver by Sabre GLBL (in its sole discretion, subject to applicable law) of such conditions to the Exchange Offers, Sabre GLBL expects to pay the cash consideration and deliver the New Notes in respect of the Existing Notes validly tendered at or prior to the Early Exchange Date on December 8, 2025, unless extended (such date and time, as it may be extended, the "Early Settlement Date"), in aggregate amounts of $244.6 million in cash and $468.6 million in New Notes. Eligible Holders whose Existing Notes are accepted for exchange will be paid the accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Existing Notes to, but not including, the Early Settlement Date. The New Notes will be issued in minimum denominations of $2,000 and $1,000 increments thereof. Sabre GLBL will not accept tenders of Existing Notes for exchange if it would result in less than the minimum denomination of $2,000 principal amount of New Notes being issued to tendering holders.

Since the maximum aggregate principal amount of New Notes to be issued in exchange for all the tendered 2029 Notes would exceed the 2029 Notes Maximum Exchange Amount, the tendered 2029 Notes will be accepted subject to a proration factor of approximately 56.07%. Although the Exchange Offers are scheduled to expire on the Expiration Date), since 2029 Notes have been validly tendered such that the maximum aggregate principal amount of New Notes to be issued in exchange for all such tendered 2029 Notes would exceed the 2029 Notes Maximum Exchange Amount, Sabre GLBL does not expect to accept for exchange any 2029 Notes tendered after the Early Exchange Date.

Any waiver of a condition by Sabre GLBL will not constitute a waiver of any other condition. For avoidance of doubt, the Exchange Offer in respect of one series of Existing Notes is not conditioned on the Exchange Offer in respect of another series of Existing Notes, or vice versa. Sabre GLBL reserves the right to extend, amend or terminate any Exchange Offer for any reason or for no reason.

In addition, Sabre announced that Sabre GLBL will refinance certain of its existing senior secured term loans (the "Refinanced Term Loans") into two tranches in an aggregate amount of $375 million (including any premium to be paid in the form of new debt) pursuant to an amendment (the "Term Loan Refinancing Amendment") to Sabre GLBL's existing credit agreement. The Term Loan Refinancing Amendment will, among other things, extend the maturity of the Refinanced Term Loans to July 30, 2029 and modify the pricing on the Refinanced Term Loans to SOFR + CSA + 625 bps. This refinancing is expected to close on December 8, 2025, subject to customary closing conditions.

The Exchange Offers are being made only to holders of Existing Notes that have certified, by submitting an instruction to the clearing system, that they are either (i) "qualified institutional buyers" as defined in Rule 144A ("Rule 144A") under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") or (ii) are located outside the United States and are not "U.S. persons" as defined in Rule 902 under the Securities Act (such holders, "Eligible Holders"). Only Eligible Holders are authorized to receive or review the Offering Circular or to participate in the Exchange Offers. Non-U.S. persons may also be subject to additional eligibility criteria.

BofA Securities is serving as Sole Dealer Manager for the Exchange Offers. Perella Weinberg Partners is serving as Capital Markets Advisor to Sabre.

The complete terms and conditions of the Exchange Offers are set forth in the Offering Circular.  The Offering Circular contains important information and Eligible Holders are encouraged to read it in its entirety.  The Offering Circular will only be distributed to Eligible Holders who complete and return an eligibility form confirming that they are either a "qualified institutional buyer" under Rule 144A or not a "U.S. person" under Regulation S under the Securities Act for purposes of applicable securities laws.  Holders of Existing Notes who desire to complete an eligibility form should either visit www.dfking.com/sabre or request instructions by sending an e-mail to [email protected] or by calling D.F. King & Co., Inc., the information and exchange agent for the Exchange Offers, at (toll-free) (800) 578-5378 or (banks and brokers) (646) 981-1288.

None of Sabre, Sabre Holdings, Sabre GLBL, their affiliates, their respective boards of directors and stockholders, the Exchange Agent or Computershare Trust Company, N.A., as trustee for the Existing Notes and New Notes, are making any recommendation as to whether holders should tender any Existing Notes in response to the Exchange Offers. Holders must make their own decision as to whether to tender any of their Existing Notes, and, if so, the principal amount of Existing Notes to tender.

The conference is being held December 8-10, 2025, at the Mayflower Hotel in Washington, D.C.

This data is from SOTA-P-CARDIA, a prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial that exclusively enrolled patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and was conducted by Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York City. 

“This data, in addition to data recently presented at HCMS and AHA on sotagliflozin’s impact on cardiac remodeling and effects on MACE, provide additional evidence of sotagliflozin’s differentiated benefits compared to SGLT2 inhibitors,” said Craig Granowitz, M.D., Ph.D., Lexicon’s senior vice president and chief medical officer.

(“Scanary”), an Israeli deep-tech developer of 3D imaging, electromagnetic, AI-powered threat detection systems. This transaction marks the Company’s strategic entry into the fast-growing global homeland-security sector.

Under the Agreement, Scanary grants KeepZone the right to market and distribute Scanary’s groundbreaking AI-radar screening systems, capable of scanning up to 25,000 people per hour in open spaces without requiring them to stop. The system removes the need for traditional checkpoints and physical pat-downs, delivering seamless, real-time threat detection in under two seconds using advanced 3D imaging and AI that automatically disregards phones, keys, and other harmless objects. It is ideally suited for airports, stadiums, transit hubs, critical infrastructure, sensitive facilities, and major events – precisely the venues where demand for frictionless, high-throughput security is surging.

According to Global Market Insights report, the security scanning equipment market was valued at over $11.4 billion in 2022, with over 1 million security-scanning units dispatched, and is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of over 7% between 2023 and 2032.

Key terms of the definitive agreement include:

Exclusive distribution rights for the systems in Canada, Germany, and the United Arab Emirates for an initial 24-month period, automatically extendable for an additional 24-month period upon achieving a cumulative purchase target of 20 systems; andNon-exclusive distribution rights in Spain and Italy. Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, in consideration for these exclusive rights, KeepZone agreed to make a one-time payment of $1 million to Scanary, payable in five equal monthly installments of $200,000, with each installment due at the end of each calendar month following the execution of the Agreement. Scanary will provide one free demonstration unit and technical support for pre-sales activities. The payment is fully repayable to KeepZone through periodic revenue payments of 10% of Scanary’s profits from sales outside the exclusive territories, in accordance with the terms of the Agreement.

Ginkgo Bioworks Selected by PNNL to Deliver a Modular, High‑Throughput Phenotyping Platform for DOE's M2PC stocknewsapi
DNA
, /PRNewswire/ -- Ginkgo Bioworks (NYSE: DNA) today announced it has been awarded by the Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory (EMSL) at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) a four-year, up to $47M contract to co-design, build, and integrate a High‑Throughput Automated Phenotyping Platform (HTP‑APP) in support of the Microbial Molecular Phenotyping Capability (M2PC). The platform, selected through a competitive procurement process, is intended to enable the Department of Energy's (DOE) Office of Science, Biological and Environmental Research program to generate rich, reproducible microbial and microbiome data that ensure the U.S. remains at the forefront of the bioeconomy, safeguarding economic, societal, and national security benefits while maintaining global leadership in biotechnology innovation.

Drawing on Ginkgo Automation's dynamic Catalyst scheduling software and modular Reconfigurable Automation Carts (RACs), the HTP‑APP is designed to automate end‑to‑end workflows—from media and cultivation to sample preparation and multimodal analytics—while supporting BSL‑2 operations, remote planning and execution, and laboratory integration. This modular approach is expected to help PNNL adapt the platform as scientific needs evolve, add new methods or instrumentation, and maintain high uptime in a user‑facility environment. Conceptual design elements include a RAC‑based architecture with function‑oriented "pods," integrated transport, and software‑enabled interleaving of diverse protocols.

"Our team is excited to contract and collaborate with PNNL again to build a new capability we believe will expand access to high‑quality biological phenotyping at scale. By combining modular automation with flexible software and managed support, we aim to help researchers generate the datasets that modern AI methods need," said Will Serber, General Manager of Ginkgo Automation.

"The recent AI Action Plan from President Trump called for investment in AI-enabled cloud laboratories to accelerate U.S. scientific innovation. This new project is a powerful example of how Ginkgo's AI-enabled cloud lab technology can help keep the American bioeconomy competitive globally," added Jason Kelly, CEO of Ginkgo Bioworks.

M2PC is focused on delivering a predictive understanding of complex biological systems relevant to DOE's mission. The planned platform is intended to (i) increase throughput and reproducibility of phenotyping campaigns across diverse microbes and consortia, (ii) capture multimodal analytical measurements suitable for AI/ML, and (iii) provide a sustainable, expandable foundation for future instrumentation and workflows at PNNL's EMSL.

More information about RACs and Catalyst automation software can be found here or at automation.ginkgo.bio.

Planned platform highlights

Modularity and expandability: RAC‑based hardware that can be reconfigured or scaled as needs change; software "digital twin" tools to model throughput and identify bottlenecks.
End‑to‑end workflow coverage: Media prep, cultivation (including photosynthetic workflows), sample prep, and multimodal analytics (e.g., plate readers, imaging, flow cytometry, and LC/GC‑MS modalities) designed to support high‑quality, multimodal data generation.
Operations and reliability: Designed for cloud lab-ready remote monitoring and safe recovery, with training and managed support to help maximize uptime in a national user‑facility setting.

Should Franklin U.S. Low Volatility High Dividend Index ETF (LVHD) Be on Your Investing Radar? stocknewsapi
LVHD
If you're interested in broad exposure to the Large Cap Value segment of the US equity market, look no further than the Franklin U.S. Low Volatility High Dividend Index ETF (LVHD - Free Report) , a passively managed exchange traded fund launched on December 28, 2015.

The fund is sponsored by Franklin Templeton Investments. It has amassed assets over $574.57 million, making it one of the average sized ETFs attempting to match the Large Cap Value segment of the US equity market.

Why Large Cap ValueCompanies that find themselves in the large cap category typically have a market capitalization above $10 billion. Considered a more stable option, large cap companies boast more predictable cash flows and are less volatile than their mid and small cap counterparts.

While value stocks have lower than average price-to-earnings and price-to-book ratios, they also have lower than average sales and earnings growth rates. When you look at long-term performance, value stocks have outperformed growth stocks in nearly all markets. But in strong bull markets, growth stocks are more likely to be winners.

CostsCost is an important factor in selecting the right ETF, and cheaper funds can significantly outperform their more expensive counterparts if all other fundamentals are the same.

Annual operating expenses for this ETF are 0.27%, putting it on par with most peer products in the space.

It has a 12-month trailing dividend yield of 3.31%.

Sector Exposure and Top HoldingsETFs offer a diversified exposure and thus minimize single stock risk but it is still important to delve into a fund's holdings before investing. Most ETFs are very transparent products and many disclose their holdings on a daily basis.

This ETF has heaviest allocation to the Utilities sector -- about 24.5% of the portfolio. Consumer Staples and Real Estate round out the top three.

Looking at individual holdings, Cisco Systems Inc (CSCO) accounts for about 2.8% of total assets, followed by Chevron Corp (CVX) and American Electric Power (AEP).

The top 10 holdings account for about 26.17% of total assets under management.

Performance and RiskLVHD seeks to match the performance of the QS Low Volatility High Dividend Index before fees and expenses. The QS Low Volatility High Dividend Index provides stable income through investment in stocks of profitable U.S. companies with relatively high dividend yields, lower price and earnings volatility.

The ETF has gained about 7.31% so far this year and was up about 2.54% in the last one year (as of 12/05/2025). In the past 52-week period, it has traded between $37.37 and $41.55.

The ETF has a beta of 0.65 and standard deviation of 12.17% for the trailing three-year period. With about 121 holdings, it effectively diversifies company-specific risk.

AlternativesFranklin U.S. Low Volatility High Dividend Index ETF carries a Zacks ETF Rank of 3 (Hold), which is based on expected asset class return, expense ratio, and momentum, among other factors. Thus, LVHD is a sufficient option for those seeking exposure to the Style Box - Large Cap Value area of the market. Investors might also want to consider some other ETF options in the space.

The Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF (SCHD) and the Vanguard Value ETF (VTV) track a similar index. While Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF has $71.34 billion in assets, Vanguard Value ETF has $155.38 billion. SCHD has an expense ratio of 0.06% and VTV charges 0.04%.

Bottom-LineRetail and institutional investors increasingly turn to passively managed ETFs because they offer low costs, transparency, flexibility, and tax efficiency; these kind of funds are also excellent vehicles for long term investors.

Is Invesco Water Resources ETF (PHO) a Strong ETF Right Now? stocknewsapi
PHO
Making its debut on 12/06/2005, smart beta exchange traded fund Invesco Water Resources ETF (PHO - Free Report) provides investors broad exposure to the Industrials ETFs category of the market.

What Are Smart Beta ETFs?Products that are based on market cap weighted indexes, which are strategies designed to reflect a specific market segment or the market as a whole, have traditionally dominated the ETF industry.

A good option for investors who believe in market efficiency, market cap weighted indexes offer a low-cost, convenient, and transparent way of replicating market returns.

There are some investors, though, who think it's possible to beat the market with great stock selection; this group likely invests in another class of funds known as smart beta, which track non-cap weighted strategies.

Based on specific fundamental characteristics, or a combination of such, these indexes attempt to pick stocks that have a better chance of risk-return performance.

Even though this space provides many choices to investors--think one of the simplest methodologies like equal-weighting and more complicated ones like fundamental and volatility/momentum based weighting--not all have been able to deliver first-rate results.

Fund Sponsor & IndexPHO is managed by Invesco, and this fund has amassed over $2.15 billion, which makes it one of the larger ETFs in the Industrials ETFs. Before fees and expenses, PHO seeks to match the performance of the NASDAQ OMX US Water Index.

The NASDAQ OMX US Water Index tracks the performance of US exchange-listed companies that create products designed to conserve and purify water for homes, businesses and industries.

Cost & Other ExpensesCost is an important factor in selecting the right ETF, and cheaper funds can significantly outperform their more expensive cousins if all other fundamentals are the same.

Operating expenses on an annual basis are 0.59% for PHO, making it on par with most peer products in the space.

The fund has a 12-month trailing dividend yield of 0.54%.

Sector Exposure and Top HoldingsWhile ETFs offer diversified exposure, which minimizes single stock risk, a deep look into a fund's holdings is a valuable exercise. And, most ETFs are very transparent products that disclose their holdings on a daily basis.

This ETF has heaviest allocation in the Industrials sector - about 56.9% of the portfolio. Utilities and Information Technology round out the top three.

Looking at individual holdings, Waters Corp (WAT) accounts for about 9.89% of total assets, followed by Ferguson Enterprises Inc (FERG) and Ecolab Inc (ECL).

The top 10 holdings account for about 60.22% of total assets under management.

Performance and RiskYear-to-date, the Invesco Water Resources ETF has added roughly 10.21% so far, and it's up approximately 0.64% over the last 12 months (as of 12/05/2025). PHO has traded between $58.13 $74.61 in this past 52-week period.

The fund has a beta of 1.05 and standard deviation of 16.36% for the trailing three-year period, which makes PHO a medium risk choice in this particular space. With about 39 holdings, it has more concentrated exposure than peers .

AlternativesInvesco Water Resources ETF is a reasonable option for investors seeking to outperform the Industrials ETFs segment of the market. However, there are other ETFs in the space which investors could consider.

Invesco S&P Global Water Index ETF (CGW) tracks S&P GLOBAL WATER INDEX and the First Trust Water ETF (FIW) tracks ISE Clean Edge Water Index. Invesco S&P Global Water Index ETF has $1 billion in assets, First Trust Water ETF has $1.94 billion. CGW has an expense ratio of 0.59% and FIW changes 0.51%.

Investors looking for cheaper and lower-risk options should consider traditional market cap weighted ETFs that aim to match the returns of the Industrials ETFs

Is FlexShares International Quality Dividend ETF (IQDF) a Strong ETF Right Now? stocknewsapi
IQDF
A smart beta exchange traded fund, the FlexShares International Quality Dividend ETF (IQDF - Free Report) debuted on 04/12/2013, and offers broad exposure to the World ETFs category of the market.

What Are Smart Beta ETFs?The ETF industry has traditionally been dominated by products based on market capitalization weighted indexes that are designed to represent the market or a particular segment of the market.

A good option for investors who believe in market efficiency, market cap weighted indexes offer a low-cost, convenient, and transparent way of replicating market returns.

On the other hand, some investors who believe that it is possible to beat the market by superior stock selection opt to invest in another class of funds that track non-cap weighted strategies--popularly known as smart beta.

This kind of index follows this same mindset, as it attempts to pick stocks that have better chances of risk-return performance; non-cap weighted strategies base selection on certain fundamental characteristics, or a mix of such characteristics.

Methodologies like equal-weighting, one of the simplest options out there, fundamental weighting, and volatility/momentum based weighting are all choices offered to investors in this space, but not all of them can deliver superior returns.

Fund Sponsor & IndexThe fund is managed by Flexshares. IQDF has been able to amass assets over $899.69 million, making it one of the larger ETFs in the World ETFs. Before fees and expenses, IQDF seeks to match the performance of the Northern Trust International Quality Dividend Index.

The Northern Trust International Quality Dividend Index is designed to provide exposure to a high-quality income-oriented portfolio of long-only international securities issued by non-U.S.-based companies, with an emphasis on long-term capital growth and a targeted overall beta that is similar to that of the Northern Trust International Large Cap Index.

Cost & Other ExpensesCost is an important factor in selecting the right ETF, and cheaper funds can significantly outperform their more expensive cousins if all other fundamentals are the same.

With one of the cheaper products in the space, this ETF has annual operating expenses of 0.47%.

The fund has a 12-month trailing dividend yield of 5.91%.

Sector Exposure and Top HoldingsMost ETFs are very transparent products, and disclose their holdings on a daily basis. ETFs also offer diversified exposure, which minimizes single stock risk, though it's still important for investors to research a fund's holdings.

Looking at individual holdings, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co Ltd Common accounts for about 3.11% of total assets, followed by Bhp Group Ltd Common Stock Aud 0 (BHP) and Novartis Ag Common Stock Chf 0.49 (NOVN).

Its top 10 holdings account for approximately 18.45% of IQDF's total assets under management.

Performance and RiskThe ETF return is roughly 32.15% and it's up approximately 27.46% so far this year and in the past one year (as of 12/05/2025), respectively. IQDF has traded between $22.10 and $29.93 during this last 52-week period.

The fund has a beta of 0.70 and standard deviation of 13.65% for the trailing three-year period, which makes IQDF a medium risk choice in this particular space. With about 283 holdings, it effectively diversifies company-specific risk .

AlternativesFlexShares International Quality Dividend ETF is a reasonable option for investors seeking to outperform the World ETFs segment of the market. However, there are other ETFs in the space which investors could consider.

FlexShares International Quality Dividend Dynamic ETF(IQDY) tracks Northern Trust International Quality Dividend Dynamic Index The fund has $86.76 million in assets. IQDY has an expense ratio of 0.47%.

For UnitedHealth's stock, the Medical Care Ratio (MCR) serves as the most significant factor influencing core profitability. The unexpected rise in MCR from around 82% in 2022 to an anticipated 88% in 2025 has already provoked a substantial correction in stock prices. As we look towards 2026, a crucial question persists: Can UNH stabilize and ultimately reverse this concerning trend in MCR?

The implications are monumental. With UNH's premium revenue forecasted to surpass $340 billion in 2026, every single basis point (0.01%) change in MCR results in over $34 million in pre-tax earnings impact. The distinction between successfully stabilizing and ongoing decline could represent billions in profit fluctuations and a movement exceeding $100 per share. Below, we explore three possible MCR scenarios for 2026 and their consequences for Adjusted EPS and share price.

That said, if you are looking for an upside with less volatility than holding an individual stock, consider the High Quality Portfolio. It has consistently outperformed its benchmark—a mix of the S&P 500, Russell, and S&P MidCap indexes—and has achieved returns surpassing 105% since its inception. Why is this the case? As a collective, HQ Portfolio stocks have delivered better returns with less risk compared to the benchmark index; it is less volatile, as evidenced by HQ Portfolio performance metrics.

Key Assumptions for 2026 AnalysisTo focus on the MCR impact, we have laid out the following baseline assumptions for the UnitedHealthcare (UHC) segment and the overall company:

2026 Premium Revenue: Approximately $345 billion (estimated UHC segment size)2025 Baseline MCR: Approximately 88% (the elevated level from which 2026 will either improve, stabilize, or further deteriorate)2025 Baseline EPS: Approximately $16.25 (the depressed earnings floor established in 2025)Optum Earnings: Optum generates about 15% operating earnings growth from the revised 2025 base, counterbalancing current pressures and stabilizing its contributionsShare Count: Approximately 940 million sharesScenario 1: Base Case – The Stabilization (MCR = 88.0%)This scenario anticipates UNH effectively implementing premium increases and cost controls that halt any further MCR expansion at the elevated 2025 level, although utilization remains high.

UHC MCR: 88.0% – Indicates stabilization with no year-over-year improvement from 2025. The company's 2026 premiums are appropriately priced to reflect the elevated utilization experienced in 2025, preventing additional deterioration while achieving no significant improvement in the cost structure.
Adjusted EPS: $17.00 – This shows approximately 5% EPS growth from the 2025 floor of $16.25, fueled by premium growth and the anticipated Optum recovery, but without any MCR relief leading to margin expansion.Forward P/E Multiple: 16x – 18x – The market reluctantly acknowledges that earnings have hit their lowest point and further deterioration has been avoided, but remains cautious due to the persistently elevated MCR and lack of margin improvement. The multiple remains near current depressed levels.Projected Share Price: $270 – $305 – A slight stabilization with limited upside, reflecting investor concerns that UNH is now permanently operating at lower margins without clear visibility for improvement.Scenario 2: Upside Case – The Recovery (MCR = 85.0%)This scenario posits that UNH effectively implements its utilization management strategy while profiting from the normalization of delayed post-pandemic care, achieving significant margin restoration.

UHC MCR: 85.0% – Indicates substantial improvement through a 300 basis point (3.0%) reduction from the 2025 level of 88.0%. This is attained through aggressive management of care, enhanced prior authorization processes, effective premium rate strategies, and a natural decline in pent-up demand as post-pandemic utilization trends normalize.EPS Impact from MCR: $6.36 Boost – A 300 basis point decline in MCR on $345 billion in premiums translates to about $10.35 billion pre-tax, or roughly $6.36 in after-tax EPS gains (assuming ~38.5% tax rate).Adjusted EPS: $23.35 – Calculated as the base case EPS of $17.00 plus the MCR-driven boost of $6.36, positioning EPS significantly above the pre-crisis trend and showcasing UNH's capability to adapt and recover.Forward P/E Multiple: 22x – 24x – The market rewards the notable recovery and margin restoration, perceiving it as confirmation that the 2025 crisis was transient and management has regained control. The premium valuation multiple approaches historical averages.Projected Share Price: $515 – $560 – A robust rally pushing the stock back towards previous highs as investor confidence fully returns and UNH illustrates it can operate profitably even in a higher-utilization climate.Scenario 3: Downside Case – Continued Deterioration (MCR = 90.5%)This scenario suggests that the utilization surge indicates a structural change rather than a temporary occurrence, with regulatory pressures and competitive factors inhibiting adequate premium increases while costs continue to rise.

UHC MCR: 90.5% – Signifies further deterioration with a 250 basis point (2.5%) rise from the 2025 level of 88.0%, demonstrating UNH's complete failure to control rising costs as Medicare Advantage utilization, hospital pricing pressures, and regulatory constraints combine to bring about a profitability crisis.EPS Impact from MCR: $5.30 Loss – A 250 basis point increase in MCR on $345 billion in premiums equates to approximately $8.63 billion in pre-tax losses, or about $5.30 in after-tax EPS decline (assuming ~38.5% tax rate).Adjusted EPS: $11.70 – Computed as the base case EPS of $17.00 minus the MCR-driven loss of $5.30, yielding a sharply negative year-over-year EPS growth of about -28% and raising critical concerns about the UHC business model.Forward P/E Multiple: 12x – 14x – The valuation multiple declines significantly as UNH is increasingly seen as a distressed insurer faced with a structural profitability crisis and no clear pathway to recovery. The company trades at a substantial discount compared to historical levels and peer insurers.Projected Share Price: $140 – $165 – A severe additional decline prompted by cascading negative earnings adjustments, potential dividend cut worries, and a total exit from any growth premium. The stock nears levels not seen in over a decade.The Bottom LineThe potential gap between the Upside and Downside scenarios for UNH in 2026 exceeds an extraordinary $400+ per share, entirely driven by a 550 basis point (5.5%) shift in the Medical Care Ratio from 85.0% to 90.5%. This extreme sensitivity highlights a fundamental shift in how investors should approach UNH.

UNH is no longer a “set-it-and-forget-it” investment. The stock has effectively transformed into a leveraged wager on the company's ability to bounce back from the 88% MCR crisis of 2025. Any earnings surprises in 2026 will be immensely magnified by the highly sensitive P/E multiple, establishing MCR as the only metric that genuinely matters for the foreseeable future.

The critical question for investors: Is the 88% MCR of 2025 the new norm that UNH must learn to navigate, or was it a fleeting spike that can be rectified through operational discipline and normalization of post-pandemic utilization trends? The resolution of this question will dictate whether UNH trades at $150 or $550 by the end of 2026.

Remember, investing in a single stock without thorough analysis can be hazardous. Consider the Trefis Reinforced Value (RV) Portfolio, which has outperformed its all-cap stocks benchmark (a mix of the S&P 500, S&P mid-cap, and Russell 2000 indices) in delivering strong returns for investors. Why is this the case? The quarterly rebalanced composition of large-, mid-, and small-cap RV Portfolio stocks offered a responsive strategy to maximize favorable market conditions while reducing losses when markets decline, as outlined in RV Portfolio performance metrics.

Netflix agrees blockbuster $72bn deal for Warner Bros studios stocknewsapi
NFLX WBD
Netflix has agreed a $72bn (£54bn) deal to secure Warner Bros Discovery's film and TV studios and supercharge its library through rights to top franchises including Harry Potter and Game of Thrones.

It had been reported that the US streaming giant was in exclusive talks over the deal following a bidding war for the assets.

Paramount Skydance and Comcast, the ultimate owner of Sky News, were the rival suitors.

While Netflix has agreed a $27.75 per share price with WBD, the deal is set to attract scrutiny from competition regulators, particularly in the United States.

Further drama could come in the form of a complaint by Paramount, which had previously made a bid for the whole company, surrounding the bidding process, according to CNBC.

Entertainment news provider Variety has also reported that major studios fear an institutional crisis for Hollywood unless the move is blocked.

The deal, which the companies expected to complete in 2027, does not include WBD's cable networks including CNN and TNT sports channels.

Ted Sarandos, the co-chief executive of Netflix, said: "By combining Warner Bros’ incredible library of shows and movies - from timeless classics like Casablanca and Citizen Kane to modern favorites like Harry Potter and Friends - with our culture-defining titles like Stranger Things, KPop Demon Hunters and Squid Game, we'll be able to do that even better.

"Together, we can give audiences more of what they love and help define the next century of storytelling."

Netflix is buying Warner Bros., adding HBO and major franchises like "Harry Potter" to its content slate.
Netflix said the deal has an equity value of $72 billion, its biggest ever acquisition.
The deal boosts Netflix's studio power, expanding its production capacity and theatrical output.

Netflix is making the biggest acquisition in its history — and one of the largest ever in entertainment — announcing Friday that it has struck a deal to acquire Warner Bros. from Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) for an equity value of $72 billion.

The cash-and-stock deal, which has a total enterprise value of $82.7 billion, will bring together Netflix's world-dominant streaming platform with Warner Bros.' century-old studio, HBO, HBO Max, and some of the most iconic franchises in film and television—from "Harry Potter" and "Game of Thrones" to "Casablanca," "The Big Bang Theory," and the entire DC Universe.

The acquisition is expected to close after WBD spins off its Global Networks division into a separate publicly traded company, Discovery Global, a process expected to happen in the third quarter of 2026.

'Our mission has always been to entertain the world'Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos said the merger strengthens the company's core mission.

He called Warner Bros.' catalog "incredible" and said that bringing together classics such as "Casablanca" and "Citizen Kane" with Netflix hits like "Stranger Things," "KPop Demon Hunters," and "Squid Game" will allow the company to entertain the world "even better."

Sarandos said this merger will let Netflix give audiences "more of what they love" while helping shape the next century of global storytelling.

Netflix plans to preserve Warner Bros.' existing operations, including its theatrical release pipeline — a notable commitment at a time when traditional studios are fighting to maintain the role of theaters in a streaming-first world.

Why Netflix wants this dealWarner Bros. grants Netflix access to some of the most recognizable titles in modern entertainment, including enduring sitcoms like "Friends" and "The Big Bang Theory," as well as prestige television from HBO and cinematic landmarks such as "The Wizard of Oz" and "Casablanca."

The deal also significantly expands Netflix's production capabilities in the US and establishes the company as a more powerful theatrical pipeline.

While Netflix built its empire on original programming, it has long lacked the kind of multigenerational IP that powers its rivals, such as Disney.

If regulators approve the deal, Netflix subscribers are likely to see a much wider selection of premium content integrated directly into the platform.

Industry ImpactNetflix expects the acquisition to deliver $2-3 billion in annual cost savings by the third year and to become accretive to earnings by the second year.

The combination could fuel another wave of consolidation as legacy media companies struggle to compete with tech-backed giants that now own both distribution platforms and vast libraries of IP.

WBD shareholders will receive $23.25 in cash per share and $4.501 in Netflix stock, subject to a collar. The agreement values WBD at $27.75 per share.

Before the acquisition closes, WBD will spin off Discovery Global — a company that will house CNN, TNT Sports, Discovery Channel, Discovery+, and Bleacher Report.

Regulators are expected to scrutinize the deal closely. It still requires approval from the Department of Justice, the Federal Trade Commission, and WBD shareholders.

This is a breaking story. Please check back for updates.

Gold News: Gold Analysis Shows Bulls Defending $4192.36 Ahead of PCE and FOMC stocknewsapi
AAAU BAR DBP DGL GLD GLDM IAU OUNZ SGOL UGL
A softer dollar near a five-week low has helped gold hold a bid, and ongoing expectations for another 25-bp rate cut next week have limited downside interest. The combination has kept buyers comfortable defending $4192.36, even as Treasury yields firmed on Thursday.

Gold Price Holds Above Key Zone as PCE Inflation Expected to Reheat
Today’s report is expected to show PCE inflation rising 2.8% year-over-year in September, up from 2.7% in August, which would be the hottest reading since April 2024. Core PCE is forecast to rise 2.9%, matching August and marking the 55th consecutive month above the Fed’s 2% target. Much of the recent firming has been tied to tariff-driven cost pressures that retailers have passed along to consumers. Even so, inflation remains well off its 2022 peak, and many forecasters expect it to stay above target for years.

The report was delayed by the government shutdown, but it now arrives at a critical moment. Despite stickier inflation, the Fed has already cut rates at its last two meetings, and policymakers continue to signal concern about the cooling labor market. That tension—high inflation but softening jobs—has left traders confident the Fed will cut again next week.

Rate-Cut Expectations Offset Firm Yields
Private payrolls fell by 32,000 in November, while jobless claims dropped to 191,000, a move distorted by the holiday week but still reinforcing expectations for policy easing. Futures markets are pricing nearly 90% confidence in a quarter-point cut. That bias has outweighed Thursday’s rise in yields, with the 10-year at 4.102%, the 30-year at 4.761%, and the 2-year at 3.523%.

Intensity Therapeutics Granted 180-Day Extension to Regain Compliance with Nasdaq's Minimum Bid Price Requirement stocknewsapi
INTS
, /PRNewswire/ -- Intensity Therapeutics, Inc. ("Intensity" or "the Company") (Nasdaq: INTS), a late-stage clinical biotechnology company focused on the discovery and development of novel intratumoral cancer therapies that are designed to kill tumors and increase immune system recognition of cancers using its proprietary non-covalent conjugation technology, today announced that it has been granted a 180 calendar day extension from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") to regain compliance with the Nasdaq's minimum $1.00 bid price requirement set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the "Rule") for continued listing on Nasdaq (the "Minimum Bid Price Requirement"), following the expiration of the initial 180 calendar day period to regain compliance on December 3, 2025, which was initially granted on June 6, 2025. The Company now has until June 1, 2026 to meet the Minimum Bid Price Requirement set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2).

The notification has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company's shares of common stock, which will continue to trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol "INTS." To regain compliance with the Rule, the Company must maintain a closing bid price of at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of ten (10) consecutive business days on or prior to the 180-day extension period, or June 1, 2026. The Company intends to actively monitor the closing bid price of its common stock between now and the end of the extension period and intends to take all appropriate actions to cure the deficiency and regain compliance with the Rule prior to the end of the compliance period.

About Intensity Therapeutics

Intensity is a late-stage clinical biotechnology company whose novel engineered chemistry enables aqueous cytotoxic-containing drug formulations to mix and saturate a tumor's dense, high-fat, pressurized environment following direct intratumoral injection. As a result of the saturation, Intensity's clinical trials have demonstrated the ability of INT230-6 to kill tumors and elicit an adaptive immune response within days of injection, representing a new approach to cancer cell death that holds the potential to shift the treatment paradigm and turn many deadly cancers into chronic diseases even for malignancies that do not respond to conventional immunotherapy. Intensity has completed two clinical studies and enrolled over 200 patients using INT230-6; a Phase 1/2 dose escalation study in metastatic cancers including sarcomas (NCT03058289), and a Phase 2 randomized control clinical trial in locally advanced breast cancer (the "INVINCIBLE-2 Study") (NCT04781725) in women without undergoing chemotherapy prior to their surgery. The Company initiated a Phase 3 trial in soft tissue sarcoma (the "INVINCIBLE-3 Study") (NCT06263231), testing INT230-6 as second or third line monotherapy compared to the standard of care ("SOC") with overall survival as an endpoint. Intensity also initiated a Phase 2 study (the "INVINCIBLE-4 Study") (NCT06358573) in collaboration with the Swiss Cancer Group, formerly the Swiss Group for Clinical Cancer Research SAKK, as part of a Phase 2/3 program evaluating INT230-6 followed by the SOC immunochemotherapy and the SOC alone for patients with presurgical triple-negative breast cancer. Pathological complete response ("pCR") is the endpoint.

INT230-6, Intensity's lead proprietary investigational product candidate, is designed for direct intratumoral injection. INT230-6 was discovered using Intensity's proprietary DfuseRx℠ technology platform. The drug consists of two proven, potent anti-cancer agents, cisplatin and vinblastine sulfate, and a diffusion and cell penetration enhancer molecule ("SHAO") that facilitates the dispersion of potent cytotoxic drugs throughout tumors, allowing the active agents to diffuse into cancer cells. These agents remain in the tumor, resulting in a favorable safety profile. In addition to local disease control and direct tumor killing, INT230-6 causes a release of a bolus of neoantigens specific to the malignancy, leading to immune system engagement and systemic anti-tumor effects. Importantly, these effects are mediated without immunosuppression, which often occurs with systemic chemotherapy.

Serve Robotics Expands in South Florida, Launching Autonomous Deliveries in Fort Lauderdale with Uber Eats stocknewsapi
SERV
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., Dec. 05, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Serve Robotics Inc. (Nasdaq: SERV), a leading autonomous sidewalk delivery company, today announced the expansion of its service into Fort Lauderdale, marking a significant extension of its growing footprint in South Florida. The company has existing operations in Miami, and the addition of Fort Lauderdale strengthens Serve’s presence across one of the nation’s most active and rapidly growing delivery markets.

Fort Lauderdale customers in Downtown and Las Olas Boulevard neighborhoods may now have their restaurant orders delivered by Serve’s AI-powered sidewalk robots through Uber Eats (NYSE: UBER). The expansion brings more sustainable, reliable, and cost-efficient delivery options to restaurants and consumers across the region. 

“South Florida has proven to be an incredible market for autonomous delivery,” said Dr. Ali Kashani, Co-Founder and CEO of Serve Robotics. “Building on our success in Miami, the expansion to Fort Lauderdale allows us to serve more communities, support more restaurant partners, and continue scaling our low-emissions delivery network across the region.”

“We’re excited to expand autonomous delivery operations in South Florida with Serve,” said Aaron Emrich, Global Head of Autonomous Delivery at Uber Eats. “Fort Lauderdale’s vibrant restaurant scene, and tech-forward community make it an ideal market to deepen our collaboration and bring more innovative delivery options to customers.”

Serve worked closely with local partners, businesses, and city stakeholders to ensure a smooth rollout in Fort Lauderdale, aligning with the city’s goals around innovation, mobility, and sustainability. Serve is entering a restaurant market that continues to grow and is known for its mix of beloved local institutions, chef-driven concepts, and a steady influx of new culinary talent. From laid-back coastal eateries to buzzy dining destinations the city offers an ideal environment for autonomous delivery to enhance convenience and support restaurant partners. Fort Lauderdale’s vibrant food culture provides a strong foundation for meaningful partnerships and seamless customer experiences, as Serve continues building its footprint across South Florida.

The Fort Lauderdale launch supports Serve’s broader expansion strategy as it moves toward deploying 2,000 delivery robots across the U.S. by year end in partnership with Uber Eats. This milestone builds on Serve’s successful rollouts in Los Angeles, Chicago, Miami, Dallas–Fort Worth, and Atlanta.

Serve Robotics develops advanced, AI-powered, low-emissions sidewalk delivery robots that endeavor to make delivery sustainable and economical. Spun off from Uber in 2021 as an independent company, Serve has completed well over 100,000 deliveries for enterprise partners such as Uber Eats and 7-Eleven.

Anyway, we're going to talk about 2026 and the 2026 outlook. For the mines, well, first of all, it's the first full year with Somincor and Zinkgruvan included. So we now have them part of our -- all of our guidance initiatives. We have higher grades in the open pits, and we'll come back into more of the details around that. We also have increased milled volume in several of our mines. We have in Aitik expansion due to less diorite. In Garpenberg, we have gotten an extended permit. This permit can still be appealed, but we

How to Send USDC on Base Without Paying Gas Fees cryptonews
USDC
Now, Base, a popular Layer 2 network, is making it easier to send USDC with zero gas fees.
Powered by x402, this solution allows users to transfer USDC without needing any ETH in their wallet, opening the door for faster and cheaper payments.

Simple Transfers to Multiple Platforms
With this new feature, sending USDC on Base is more flexible than ever. Users can send funds to familiar platforms like ENS, BaseName, or even Farcaster usernames. These services let people link a human-readable name to their crypto wallet, making transfers as easy as sending an email. For beginners, this removes the usual complexity of copying long, confusing wallet addresses.

Real-world adoption shows the appeal of such simplicity. In 2025, daily transfers of USDC on Ethereum Layer 2s surpassed 3.5 million transactions according to L2Beat, demonstrating strong demand for low-cost, fast transactions. By removing the need to hold ETH for gas, Base reduces friction for everyday users and investors, letting them focus on sending and receiving funds rather than worrying about fees or network congestion.

✨ Transfer USDC on 🔵 Base WITHOUT GAS FEES 🤯

Send to any:

– ens

– basename

– farcaster username

⚡ Powered by x402. Your wallet doesn’t need to hold any ETH! https://t.co/0mVV5gidfT pic.twitter.com/OuzThBMRM1

— apoorv.eth (@apoorveth) November 6, 2025

The technology behind these transfers is x402, a protocol designed to cover gas fees while ensuring smooth, secure transactions. Instead of requiring users to pay ETH to complete a transaction, x402 allows wallets to operate with just USDC. This is particularly useful for newcomers to crypto who may not yet own ETH or want to avoid managing multiple tokens.

Powermax Announces Plans for Phase 1 Exploration Program for the Pinard Project stocknewsapi
PWMXF
December 05, 2025 6:00 AM EST | Source: Powermax Minerals Inc.
Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - December 5, 2025) - Powermax Minerals Inc. (CSE: PMAX) (OTCQB: PWMXF) (FWB: T23) ("Powermax" or the "Company") is pleased to announce its plans for Phase 1 exploration program for its recently optioned Pinard Project (the "Project"). The Phase 1 program has been designed to integrate historical data with new fieldwork to advance target generation and prioritize areas for follow-up exploration.

The Pinard REE Property is located in northern Ontario, Canada, roughly 70 km north-northeast of the town of Kapuskasing, and is defined by 255 contiguous mining claims spanning a total of 5178 ha. The mining claims and patents can be easily accessed via all-weather access road.

The Pinard Intrusive Complex is an alkalic to peralkalic igneous body, comprising syenitic to granitic phases consistent with other alkaline plutonic systems in the southern Archean Superior Province. Alkaline complexes of this type commonly form in extensional tectonic environments, including rift zones or deep-seated fault structures. Although the Kapuskasing Structural Zone is dominated by exhumed high-grade Archean basement, several alkaline intrusions including Pinard occur within its broader influence. Regionally, the Pinard Complex shares tectonomagmatic similarities with the nearby Clay-Howells Alkaline Complex, located approximately 20 km to the southwest, which hosts a known niobium-REE mineralized system.

The Proposed Phase 1 program at the Property will consist of the following components:

Desktop Data Compilation & GIS Modeling

Powermax plans to complete a comprehensive compilation and analysis of all available historical geological, geophysical, and geochemical datasets. These datasets would be integrated into a modern GIS-based exploration platform to refine exploration targets using advanced spatial analysis and radiometric interpretation techniques.

Field Prospecting & Geological Mapping

Systematic field prospecting and detailed geological mapping will be conducted across priority target areas to identify and characterize pegmatite zones, mineralized structures, lithological contacts, and alteration patterns.

Geochemical Sampling

The Phase 1 program will include multi-media geochemical sampling, including:

Rock sampling of outcrops and mineralized occurrencesSoil sampling across defined target gridsStream sediment sampling within key drainage catchmentsSampling results will be used to vector toward areas of potential mineralization and refine exploration targets.

Radiometric Surveys

Handheld scintillometer surveys will be conducted across target areas to detect radiometric anomalies and associated pathfinder elements in support of target delineation.

Airborne Geophysical Survey

Powermax is planning a high-resolution helicopter-borne magnetic and gamma-ray spectrometric survey over key portions of the Project area. The airborne survey is expected to assist in identifying structural trends, lithological boundaries, and radiometric anomalies associated with prospective mineralization.

"The Phase 1 program at Pinard is designed to rapidly advance our technical understanding of the Project by combining historical datasets with modern exploration techniques," said Paul Gorman, CEO of Powermax. "This systematic approach will allow us to efficiently identify and prioritize high-quality targets for follow-up work."

The Phase 1 exploration program is intended to integrate historical and newly acquired field data to generate and rank priority targets for subsequent advanced exploration programs, including trenching and potential drilling.

Why Is Ripple's (XRP) Price Down Today? cryptonews
XRP
XRP has lost the most value from the larger-cap alts.

Although most of the cryptocurrency market has turned red today after BTC’s failed breakout attempt at $94,000, Ripple’s native token has dropped the most, which is somewhat surprising given the impressive inflows into the spot XRP ETFs in the US.

However, other developments around the overall XRP ecosystem might have increased the immediate selling pressure. One of them is the behavior of whales, which have continued to dispose of large quantities of the token.

Although they offloaded more than 1.4 billion coins in the span of roughly a month, as reported in early November, they have not changed their tune and continue to do so. The latest selling spree came earlier this week, in which 140,000,000 tokens were “sold or redistributed,” according to Ali Martinez.

Another plausible reason could be the reduced demand for the spot XRP ETFs. As reported earlier this week, the financial vehicles linked to Ripple’s token outperformed the counterparties for BTC, ETH, and SOL since their inception in mid-November but the amount of inflows has been gradually declining.

They are still in the green as their impressive streak continues, but the total net inflows for December 4 was just $12.84 million, which is nowhere near the records of $243 million (November 14), $164 million (November 24), and $118 million (November 20).

The latest rejection at $2.20 and the subsequent retracement to the current levels of $2.07 have turned the crowd’s sentiment as well. Santiment noted earlier that the social media FUD surrounding XRP has reached its most intense level since October.

However, this could actually be a bullish sign for the asset as the last time this happened its price skyrocketed by more than 20% in the span of just a few days.

BlackRock's IBIT Faces Record Outflow Run as Bitcoin Struggles to Reclaim Bull Trend cryptonews
BTC
Another $113 million exited on Thursday, putting the fund on track for a sixth week in the red, its longest streak since debuting in early 2024.Updated Dec 5, 2025, 10:57 a.m. Published Dec 5, 2025, 10:53 a.m.

BlackRock’s flagship Bitcoin ETF is seeing its heaviest redemption cycle since launch, with more than $2.7 billion pulled over the past five weeks as institutional flows continue to unwind into year-end.

The iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), which ballooned into a $71 billion vehicle during Bitcoin’s run to record highs, has now logged five straight weeks of outflows through Nov. 28, Bloomberg data shows.

STORY CONTINUES BELOW

Another $113 million exited on Thursday, putting the fund on track for a sixth week in the red, its longest streak since debuting in early 2024.

(SoSoValue)

The withdrawals mirror the broader shift in crypto positioning since October’s liquidation shock, when leveraged wipeouts erased over a trillion dollars in digital-asset market value and pushed Bitcoin into a confirmed bear phase.

IBIT was the largest single conduit for institutional inflows earlier this year, but that bid has reversed as fund managers cut exposure ahead of bonus season and macro uncertainty picks up.

Bitcoin has recovered to the low $92,000s this week, yet flows remain negative. Analysts say that matters more for directionality than short-term price action. Glassnode noted that the outflow cycle marks a clear break from the steady accumulation regime that underpinned BTC’s climb into October, describing the current trend as a cooling in fresh capital allocation rather than a structural exit.

Bitcoin remains down about 27% from its all-time high set in early October, and IBIT’s flow data is increasingly viewed as a proxy for broader U.S. demand.

Kaskela Law LLC Announces Shareholder Class Action Lawsuit Filed Against Comerica Inc. (NYSE: CMA) and Encourages CMA Shareholders Who Think the Buyout Price Undervalues Their CMA Shares to Promptly Contact the Firm to Discuss Their No-Cost Legal Rights and Options stocknewsapi
CMA
, /PRNewswire/ -- Kaskela Law LLC announces that a shareholder class action lawsuit has been filed against Comerica Inc. (NYSE: CMA) in connection with the company's proposed acquisition by Fifth Third Bancorp. 

Is the buyout price too low?

As detailed in the complaint, after an activist investor called for his termination, Comerica's CEO "raced to find a friendly white knight that could provide him with a lucrative post-closing role" and contacted Fifth Third Bancorp to encourage its CEO to make a proposal to acquire Comerica.  The complaint further details how Comerica's board of directors has "improperly locked up the merger through preclusive deal protections" in an attempt to ensure that no superior bid emerges for Comerica.
