Presentation

Matthew Brinckman

All right. Good morning, everyone, and welcome to Masimo's 2025 Investor Day. I'm Matt Brinckman. I recently joined Masimo as Senior Vice President of FP&A and Investor Relations. I've been working very closely with the management team and Eli Kammerman, our VP of Investor Relations, who many of you know very well.

On behalf of the entire Masimo team, I'd like to thank you all for joining us, both here in Irvine and online. We've got an exciting program for you today. But before we get into that, I'll hit a couple of housekeeping items.

So first off, I'll start by reminding everyone that certain statements could involve risks and uncertainties that may cause results to differ materially. Additionally, certain non-GAAP measures will be used throughout the presentation to help investors understand Masimo's business performance. More details on these risks and measures are noted in our recent filings and in the investor presentation today.

Now moving on to the agenda. We're excited to showcase the dynamic lineup of presentations from our executive team. Today, we're going to focus on Masimo's strong foundation, our pathway for expanding Masimo's position as a leader in advanced monitoring, the company's

Bank of Japan faces a policy dilemma as government bond yields keep hitting new highs stocknewsapi
EWJ
Japan's central bank is caught in a bind as soaring government bond yields risk upending its policy normalization process.

The Bank of Japan faces a stark choice: sticking with its policy of raising rates and risking even higher yields and further slowing an already sagging economy, or holding, even cutting rates to support growth that could accelerate inflation further.

Japanese government bonds have been scaling new peaks over the past month. On Thursday, yield on the benchmark 10-year JGBs hit a high of 1.917%, surging to their strongest level since 2007. The 20-year JGB yield reached 2.936%, a level not seen since 1999, while 30-year hit a record high of 3.436%, LSEG data going back to 1999 showed.

Stock Chart IconStock chart icon

Japan abandoned its yield curve control program in March 2024, under which benchmark 10-year bond yields were capped at around 1%, as part of its policy normalization that also saw the country end the world's last negative interest rate regime.

Now, as the country weighs increasing rates at a time when inflation has been rising — it has stayed above the BOJ's 2% target for 43 straight months — the specter of bond yields spiking further looms large.

Anindya Banerjee, head of currency and commodities at Kotak Securities, told CNBC's "Inside India" that if the BOJ reverts back to quantitative easing and YCC to cap bond yields, the yen may also weaken and feed imported inflation, which is already a problem.

Stock Chart IconStock chart icon

Rising bond yields mean higher borrowing costs for Japan, further straining the country's fiscal situation. Asia's second-largest economy already boasts of the world highest debt-to-GDP ratio, standing at almost 230%, according to data from the International Monetary Fund.

Add to that a government that is poised to unleash its largest stimulus package since the pandemic to curb cost of living and prop up the struggling Japanese economy, and the concerns around Japan's ballooning debt become even more stark.

Magdalene Teo, head of fixed income research for Asia at Julius Baer, said that the new debt issuance of 11.7 trillion yen to finance Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi's supplementary budget is 1.7 times larger than that issued under her predecessor Shigeru Ishiba in 2024.

"This highlights the difficulty the government faces in balancing economic stimulus initiatives with maintaining fiscal sustainability," Teo said.

Global implications?In August 2024, an unwinding of yen-funded leveraged carry trades due to a hawkish BOJ rate hike and disappointing macro data from the U.S. saw stocks globally sell-off, with Japan's Nikkei crashing 12.4% to record its worst day since 1987.

Carry trade refers to borrowing in a currency with lower interest rates and investing in high-yielding assets, with the Japanese yen being the predominant currency funding such trades as the country's had a negative interest rates policy.

Now, rising Japanese yields have narrowed that rate differential, fueling concerns about another round of carry trade unwind and repatriation of funds into Japan. However, experts say that a repeat of the 2024 meltdown is unlikely.

"From a global perspective, the narrowing Japan–U.S. yield gap reduces the appeal of yen-funded carry trades, but we do not expect a repeat of the 2024 systemic unwind ... Instead, anticipate episodic volatility and selective deleveraging, particularly if yen strength accelerates funding costs," said Masahiko Loo, senior fixed income strategist at State Street Investment Management.

Loo attributes said structural flows driven by retail allocations from pensions funds, life insurance, and NISA [Nippon Individual Savings Account] anchor foreign holdings, making large-scale repatriation unlikely.

Justin Heng, APAC rates strategist at HSBC, concurred, saying that Japanese investors have shown little sign of repatriating funds, and have remained net buyers of foreign bonds.

From January to October 2025, they purchased 11.7 trillion yen in overseas debt, far outpacing the 4.2 trillion yen bought in all of 2024, according to HSBC. That surge has been driven mainly by trust banks and asset managers benefiting from retail inflows under the Japanese government's tax-exempt investment program.

"We expect the continued decline in hedging cost, as a result of further Fed rate cuts, will also likely encourage Japanese investors to take more foreign bond exposure," Heng said.

Has Chipotle Mexican Grill (CMG) Stock Been Good for Investors? stocknewsapi
CMG
Chipotle is one of the greatest restaurant success stories of all time. But how has its stock been doing?

Fast-casual burrito chain Chipotle (CMG 0.57%) is so well known that it's easy to forget how young the company is. The stock has been publicly traded for fewer than 20 years.

Since its IPO in January 2006, Chipotle's shares have crushed the market with a nearly 3,000% return. But how has it done for more recent investors?

Image source: Getty Images.

One-year return: This isn't what I ordered
In spite of its long-term track record of success, Chipotle's stock has been downright cruel to investors over the past year, with shares down 44.5%, primarily from two big drops that occurred after the company's Q2 and Q3 earnings reports in July and October. Chipotle has been hit with rising food costs as same-store sales growth has been plateauing, and the company is projecting same-store sales will decline in Q4.

While many of the issues Chipotle is facing are hitting the restaurant industry as a whole, that's small consolation for investors, who have missed out on the broader market's 2025 gains. The S&P 500 is up 13.2% for the year, meaning Chipotle shareholders who bought the stock a year ago are losing to the market by 57.7 percentage points.

Three-year return: What goes up...
Essentially, Chipotle's terrible 2025 has erased all of the gains from the previous two years. While the share price is up 5.1% from three years ago, it has risen about 100% between December 2022 and June 2024. It was still up 80% from its December 2022 prices at the start of this year, highlighting just how bad the past year has been for Chipotle.

Even though investors from three years ago haven't lost money, they've missed out on the broader market's massive gains. The S&P 500 is up 67.5% over the past three years, meaning Chipotle investors are still trailing the market's three-year returns by 62.4 percentage points.

Is the picture still dismal for five-year investors?

Five-year return: ...still comes down
Things aren't quite as bad for investors who bought Chipotle stock in December 2020. Their shares have returned 29.3% over the last five years. That's still losing (badly) to the market's 86.5% return, but for much of that time -- between January 2023 and July 2025 -- their investment was outperforming the market:

So, how far back would you have to have bought to be outperforming the market right now? Not too far, actually: about six and a half years. An investment in Chipotle from June 10, 2019, is currently beating the S&P 500, 137.1% to 136.6%. That said, Chipotle stock has been through rough patches before. Between Jan. 1, 2015, and Jan. 1, 2018, shares tumbled 57.8%, but investors who sold then would have missed out on the stock's nearly 500% gain since, which crushed the market's 155.4% return.

Chipotle's stock is an excellent example of how buy-and-hold investing rewards shareholders who hold onto their investments in quality companies over the long term.

US sawmills warn of accelerating closures as tariffs, weak demand squeeze industry stocknewsapi
CUT NAIL WOOD
MANCHESTER, Tenn. – Several US sawmills are struggling to stay open after industry leaders said years of trade uncertainty have drained export markets and tightened margins.

The Hardwood Federation estimates at least one sawmill is going out of business every week. Additionally, the National Hardwood Lumber Association (NHLA) reported that more than 4% of U.S. sawmills have been lost due to closures and consolidations. 

The equipment from those sawmills ends up in a growing pile of auction fliers on Johnny Evans' desk at the Evans Lumber Co. in Manchester, Tennessee. 

However, Evans is desperate to save his sawmill from being auctioned off due to ongoing trade talks. Evans shut his sawmill down the week of Thanksgiving because he wasn't getting enough lumber orders to keep it open. He used the week to make repairs to his equipment, which he said was great, but it doesn't pay the bills.

"It's deathly quiet around here," Evans said. "Usually we run, at least three days a week. That's not just here. It's a lot of our other customers. They've chosen not to receive lumber from us this week."

Evans said a lot of this goes back to trade tensions that began in 2018, during the first Trump Administration. That's when some countries, like China, stopped buying American hardwood in retaliation to President Donald Trump's tariff policies. 

TARIFFS HAVE A SURPRISING EFFECT ON UNEMPLOYMENT AND INFLATION PATTERNS, FED ANALYSIS REVEALS

At the time, the Hardwood Federation reported American lumber was the second-most exported U.S. product to China. When China retaliated, the American lumber exporters lost roughly half their market share to competitors in places like Russia, Thailand and Malaysia. 

Evans said the current trade negotiations between the U.S. and China are intensifying pressure that began years ago. 

"The Vietnamese told us that if until America buys their product, they won't buy our product," Evans said. "Our sales are down, our lumber prices are down, but our expenses are twice as high as what they used to be."

The NHLA said retaliatory tariffs from other countries remain "volatile," creating a ripple effect that influences global hardwood flows by "tightening margins, shifting production hubs, and altering supply chain dynamics across Asia, Europe, and the Americas."

"During the 2017 trade dispute, the hardwood industry experienced significant difficulties, including a 20-25% export decline," Dallin Brooks, NHLA Executive Director, said. "Several companies were forced to shut down, and many others struggled to recover. This year is worse."

In September, President Trump placed a 10% tariff on lumber and a 25% tariff on furniture and cabinets. Two weeks later, more than 450 U.S. sawmills signed a letter penned by the Hardwood Federation, pleading with the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the White House for relief. The letter outlined the hardwood industry's desire for the Trump Administration to prioritize them during upcoming trade negotiations with China. 

"We were a victim of retaliation," Dana Lee Cole, Hardwood Federation Executive Director, said. "If enough of their products are getting tariffs coming in here and their markets are declining here, they're going to fight back."

The Hardwood Federations said American hardwood exporters lost half of their market share in China when countries retaliated against President Trump's first round of tariff policies in 2018. U.S. sawmills struggle to regain the markets they lost to p (FOX Business  / Fox News)

Many sawmills are facing another challenge as consumers turn to cheaper composite or synthetic wood look-alike products, often marketed as "luxury" alternatives.

"The two things have come together in a kind of perfect storm to really put a lot of stressors on the industry," Cole said. 

TRUMP'S RECORD TARIFF HAUL MEETS SUPREME COURT REVIEW AS WHITE HOUSE BRACES FOR RULING

Claire Getty said her family’s sawmill in Huntland, Tennessee, has struggled to compete with big-box stores that promote vinyl or plastic flooring as premium products.

"If you're going to go and look for a floor, say, at a big box store, you're going to find over 200 wood-looking options in a luxury vinyl plank, four to five in a solid hardwood product, Getty said. "I truly believe that people today, consumers today want wood, but it is not available."

Getty said the shift to ‘luxury’ wood alternatives has caused major losses that ripple from sawmills to tree farmers.

"We are an industry that's worth saving," Getty said.

How Good Has Starbucks (SBUX) Stock Actually Been? stocknewsapi
SBUX
The company is attempting to turn its fortunes around, but its current strategy feels ineffective.

Is Starbucks (SBUX +2.37%) stock on the dreaded investor naughty list this holiday season?

Its recent share price performance suggests that it is. A string of uninspiring earnings reports has really dampened sentiment on the once-mighty coffee king. If we look back a few months and years, however, the situation might appear a little different.

A fallen Starbucks
No, it doesn't.

Over the past one, three, and five years, Starbucks has notably underperformed the bellwether S&P 500 index. In all three spans, it has not only been beaten by the index but has also fallen in price at double-digit percentage rates. Take a look:

^SPX data by YCharts

Why has this once-hot, fresh cup of coffee gone cold? Much of this is because of good, old-fashioned fundamentals.

In each of the four quarters of fiscal 2025 (which ended Sept. 28), Starbucks not only posted a decline in net income according to generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), but a steep one. Add them all up, and for the full year, the company's GAAP bottom line was $1.86 billion. That's a scary 51% down from the fiscal 2024 result.

There has been top-line growth, yes, but it's skinny. Again for the entirety of fiscal 2025, net revenue inched up by less than 3% to almost $32.2 billion. In retail, though, more emphasis is placed on comparable sales, and on this basis, Starbucks hasn't excelled. Its full-year global "comps" fell by 1%, with its two major markets (the U.S. and China) both suffering declines.

Back to the past
Shortly after Starbucks hired onetime Chipotle Mexican Grill CEO Brian Niccol to lead the company in mid-2024, it launched a turnaround strategy. The "Back to Starbucks" priority initiative was designed to bring more traffic into the stores, hopefully returning the company to its hearty growth days.

In the words of Starbucks, this would center on "enhancing the in-store experience with the return of the condiment bar, writing on cups, more ceramic mugs and a revised code of conduct," plus other measures, including a goal to close customer orders within four minutes.

None of these, it has to be said, felt like business-shaking changes to me at the time. And these days, in my semi-regular visits to Starbucks cafes, the experience feels pretty much the same as it has for years (not counting the unusual disruptions of the COVID-19 pandemic, of course).

Image source: Starbucks.

I don't feel particularly welcome at these outlets, which continue to emit a palpable "get your stuff and go" vibe, despite the typically friendly employees. For the most part, these places are not cozy, and I have little desire to sit down and relax with my hot beverage and snack. If they were, I'd probably be inclined to spend a bit more money, given the increased time spent there.

Starbucks has been reducing its heavy store footprint lately, mainly in its native U.S. Like the ceramic cups and the four-minute maximum, though, I don't think this is solving the problem. Management needs to find ways of inspiring its customers, rather than tweaking the same old, same old. Until there's some indication it can do that, I'd stay away from the stock for now.

Saxena White P.A. Files New Securities Class Action Lawsuit Against Cepton, Inc. and Related Parties, Expanding the Class Period and Claims Asserted stocknewsapi
CPTN
BOCA RATON, Fla., Dec. 03, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Saxena White P.A. has filed a securities class action lawsuit (the “Class Action”) in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California against Cepton, Inc. (“Cepton” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: CPTN), certain Cepton executive officers and directors, and the financial advisor to the special committee of the board (collectively, “Defendants”). The Class Action asserts claims under: (i) Sections 14(a) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), on behalf of public holders of Cepton common stock (the “Unaffiliated Stockholders”) as of November 15, 2024 (the “Record Date”) who were entitled to vote on the “take-private” acquisition (the “Merger”) of the Company by Koito Manufacturing Co., Ltd. (“Koito”); and (ii) Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act, on behalf of all persons and entities (excluding Defendants) who sold Cepton common stock between July 29, 2024 and January 7, 2025, inclusive (the “Class Period”), including those who sold into the Merger and were damaged thereby (together with the Unaffiliated Stockholders, the “Class”).   The Class Action filed by Saxena White is captioned Yueqiang Wang, et al. v. Cepton, Inc., et al., No. 25-cv-10386 (N.D. Cal.).

The Class Action complaint expands the class period and claims asserted in a related action against Cepton and certain of its executive officers captioned: Kabula v. Cepton, Inc., et al., No. 4:25-cv-8571 (N.D. Cal. filed Oct. 7, 2025) (the “Kabula Action”). Specifically, the Class Action expands the class period pled from July 29, 2024 through January 6, 2025 in the Kabula Action, to July 29, 2024 through January 7, 2025 in the Class Action on behalf of all persons and entities that sold Cepton common stock, including those who sold into the Merger. Additionally, the Class Action asserts previously unpled claims under Sections 14(a) and 20(a) on behalf of Cepton holders entitled to vote on the Merger.  

Pursuant to the notice published on October 7, 2025 in connection with the filing of the Kabula Action, and as required by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (PSLRA), investors wishing to serve as lead plaintiff are required to file a motion for appointment as lead plaintiff by no later than December 8, 2025. Saxena White’s filing of the Class Action does not alter the lead plaintiff deadline.

Based in San Jose, California, Cepton provides high-performance, mass-market lidar technologies to enhance safety and enable autonomy across the automotive and smart infrastructure markets.   As of July 2023, Koito, a Japanese automotive-lighting company, had invested $200 million in Cepton. In return, it received common and preferred shares equal to 30.1% of Cepton’s voting power. Koito also held two of the seven seats on Cepton’s Board of Directors (the “Board”).  

Before the Merger, from June 2023 through October 2023, Cepton received three inquiries from third-party companies regarding potential acquisition transactions. Notably, on October 3, 2023, a prospective acquirer—identified in the Proxy (defined herein) as “Party C”—submitted a credible proposal that the Board elected not to pursue. Yet, the Proxy provided only vague references to this credible third-party bid and failed to disclose that Party C’s proposal valued Cepton at more than twice the Merger price ultimately approved by the Unaffiliated Stockholders.  

In July 2024—only days before the Merger’s approval by the special committee charged with evaluating the transaction (the “Special Committee”)—Cepton received a new production award that internal projections estimated would generate approximately $40 million in revenue over three years. However, Defendant Jun Pei—Cepton’s President, Chief Executive Officer, and Chairman of the Board from February 2022 through the closing of the Merger—failed to disclose this award to the Board. Consequently, the fairness opinion issued by Cepton’s financial advisor, Craig-Hallum Capital Group LLC (“Craig-Hallum”), did not incorporate the value of this award into its assessment of the Merger price.  

On July 29, 2024, Cepton and Koito entered into an agreement and plan of merger. Pursuant to the Merger, Koito would acquire all of the outstanding Cepton common stock in an all-cash transaction at $3.17 per share, and, as a result, Cepton would be taken private and remain a subsidiary of Koito. Prior to the shareholder vote, Defendants issued a Preliminary Proxy Statement on September 25, 2024, an Amended Preliminary Proxy Statement on November 13, 2024, a Definitive Proxy Statement on November 21, 2024, additional definitive proxy soliciting materials (the “Definitive Proxy Statement Supplement”) on December 12, 2024 (together, the “Proxy”), and a Final Amended Definitive Proxy Statement on January 7, 2025.

The Class Action alleges that, during the Class Period, Defendants authorized the filing of materially false and misleading Proxy statements, in addition to other SEC filings, that failed to provide all material information related the Merger, in violation of the Exchange Act. Specifically, Defendants failed to disclose to investors that: (1) Cepton had received a credible third-party proposal valuing Cepton at more than double the Merger price; (2) the Board failed to explore the third-party proposal and concealed its terms when recommending that Unaffiliated Shareholders approve the Merger; (3) Defendant Pei had concealed the fact that Cepton received a new production award days before the Special Committee approved the Merger, resulting in the failure of Craig-Hallum’s fairness opinion to account for the award in its valuation of Cepton; (4) due to the foregoing, the offer of $3.17 per share as consideration for the Merger substantially shortchanged the true value of Cepton common stock; and (5) in turn, Unaffiliated Shareholders were deprived of crucial information when considering whether to vote in favor of the Merger, and Cepton shareholders sold their shares at a price materially below the true value of Cepton common stock.

The Merger was authorized and approved by a shareholder vote during the virtual special meeting held on December 20, 2024. Later, the Merger closed on January 7, 2025.   The material misstatements and omissions of material facts in the Proxy prevented Plaintiffs and other Unaffiliated Stockholders from properly evaluating the Merger and caused them to accept Merger consideration that failed to adequately value Cepton common stock. Likewise, the material misstatements and omissions of material facts in the Proxy and related SEC filings caused Cepton shareholders to sell their stock at a price that failed to adequately reflect the true value of Cepton common stock.

If you: (1) held Cepton common stock as of the Record Date and were damaged thereby, or (2) sold Cepton common stock during the Class Period, including into the Merger, and were damaged thereby, you are a member of the “Class” and may be able to seek appointment as lead plaintiff. If you wish to apply to be lead plaintiff, a motion on your behalf must be filed with the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California no later than December 8, 2025. The lead plaintiff is a court-appointed representative for absent members of the Class. You do not need to seek appointment as lead plaintiff to share in any Class recovery in the Class Action. If you are a Class member and there is a recovery for the Class, you can share in that recovery as an absent Class member.

You may contact Marco A. Dueñas ([email protected]), a Senior Attorney at Saxena White P.A., to discuss your rights regarding the appointment of lead plaintiff or your interest in the Class Action. You also may retain counsel of your choice to represent you in the Class Action. You may obtain a copy of the Complaint and inquire about actively joining the Class Action at www.saxenawhite.com.

Nokia partners with Bharti Airtel to unlock 5G capabilities for developers and enterprises via network APIs

Partnership enables third-party developers to leverage Airtel's pan-India network assets through Nokia’s Network as Code platform. 4 December 2025
Espoo, Finland – Nokia today announced a collaboration with Bharti Airtel to make the operator's network capabilities available to third-party developers through Nokia's Network as Code platform with developer portal. This strategic partnership will provide developers and enterprises alike access to Airtel's extensive pan-India network assets, creating new monetization opportunities and innovative use cases that will span multiple industry verticals.

Following successful trials, Airtel’s network APIs will be available on a subscription basis to an established ecosystem of developers, system integrators and enterprises using Nokia's Network as Code platform. This will enable the developer community to seamlessly build advanced solutions leveraging the Airtel network’s robust capabilities such as AI, 5G, edge computing and more.

Network APIs, which allow operators to virtualize parts of their networks and provide tailored data and features to developers, are changing the game. This technology is set to play a pivotal role in shaping the future of network capabilities while unlocking significant new revenue opportunities.

“At Airtel, we are always working toward bringing the ecosystem together to collaborate for future-ready innovations. In line with this commitment, we are happy to partner with Nokia today for network APIs and enable the ecosystem to leverage our network capabilities for automation and building secure and innovative digital services,” said Sharat Sinha, CEO, Airtel Business.

“Our partnership with Airtel represents a significant step in expanding the Network as Code ecosystem. It demonstrates our commitment to helping telecommunications providers monetize their network investments while fostering innovation in the developer community,” said Arvind Khurana, Head of Cloud and Network Services, India, Nokia

Nokia’s Network as Code platform bridges the gap between developers and networks, enabling application innovation while accelerating digital transformation. It provides developers with standardized access to network functions, without having to navigate any of the underlying network technologies. It connects multiple API ecosystems and offers operators the broadest range of network exposure options, paired with robust multi-tier API security and simplified access to network functionalities.

The global ecosystem of Nokia’s Network as Code platform has grown to more than 60 partners, including telecommunications providers, AI and data center customers, Communications Platform as a Service (CPaaS) platform providers, systems integrators and vertical independent software vendors.

Great. Thank you, everybody, for joining. My name is Mark Delaney, and I lead coverage of the U.S. auto and industrial tech sector at Goldman Sachs. I'm very pleased to have Belden joining us for this session. With us from Belden, we have Ashish Chand, the President and CEO of the company; and Jeremy Parks, the CFO. I appreciate you both coming again this year.

Ashish Chand
President, CEO & Director

Thanks, Mark. Good morning, and it's always exciting to be here at this event.

Question-and-Answer Session

Mark Delaney
Goldman Sachs Group, Inc., Research Division

I thought maybe we could start talking about the evolution of the company's portfolio and there's been a shift in your time as CEO, Ashish, to be more of a solutions provider rather than just individual point products.

Maybe talk a little bit about what it means to be a solutions provider and how these solutions are driving value for your customers.

Ashish Chand
President, CEO & Director

Yes. So if you think about all our customers across verticals, they were using networks with some kind of KPI in mind, and they had an outcome they had to get to.

For example, in a power transmission and distribution company, it was about finding the fault faster if they had a fault in the network, right, or to increase productivity.

And we realized that as long as we were a component supplier, we would not really address that problem directly. But by combining hardware

Oil and Natural Gas Technical Analysis: Geopolitical Risks vs. Bearish Fundamentals stocknewsapi
BNO DBO GUSH IEO OIH OIL PXJ UCO USO XOP
By

:

Published: Dec 4, 2025, 03:22 GMT+00:00

Oil and natural gas prices remain influenced by geopolitical tensions and technical breakouts, but weak fundamentals and oversupply continue to limit sustained upside.

Oil prices show uncertainty below $60 as Ukraine strikes Russia’s Druzhba pipeline, raising concerns about potential supply disruptions. Although the pipeline operator confirmed that flows to Hungary and Slovakia remain unaffected, the market reacted to the geopolitical risk. The perception of heightened tensions provided short-term support for prices. Brent crude oil (BCO) increased to $62.80, while WTI crude oil (CL) reached $59.10.

The stalled peace talks between the U.S. and Russia increase the likelihood of a short-term rebound in oil prices. Traders had previously anticipated a breakthrough that could lead to the lifting of sanctions on Russian oil. However, with no progress reported and uncertainty still lingering, expectations of an imminent supply return have diminished.

However, short-term gains remain limited due to weak underlying fundamentals. Concerns over global oversupply and sluggish demand continue to weigh on the market. Fitch Ratings recently lowered its 2025–2027 oil price outlook, citing expectations that production growth will outpace consumption. While geopolitical risks may provide temporary support, the broader downtrend is likely to persist unless there is a meaningful recovery in demand.

WTI Crude Oil (CL) Technical Analysis
WTI Oil Daily Chart – Consolidation at Long-Term Support
The daily chart for WTI crude oil indicates that the price is consolidating within a long-term support zone, spanning the $55 to $60 region. However, the strong rejection at the 50-day and 200-day SMAs suggests that oil prices remain under bearish pressure.

As long as the price stays below the $60 level, the possibility of a further decline toward the $55 area remains high. On the other hand, a decisive break above the $65–$68 zone would increase the likelihood of a strong move toward the $70 region. The RSI is also fluctuating below the mid-level, which further reinforces the negative pressure on oil prices.

WTI Oil 4-Hour Chart – Negative Price Action
The 4-hour chart for WTI crude oil shows that the price is consolidating below the red dotted trendline. As long as the price stays below $62, the likelihood of a strong drop in oil prices remains high.

The prolonged consolidation below the $70 and $65 regions over the past few months has created a tight trading range for oil prices. This sustained price action increases the probability of continued downside pressure in the oil market.

Natural Gas (NG) Technical Analysis
Natural Gas Daily Chart – Bullish Momentum
The daily chart for natural gas (NG) indicates that the price has broken above the red-shaded area around the $4.90 level. This breakout signals a potential for a continued strong upside move. Bullish price action has emerged from the long-term support level near $2.50. This development supports the likelihood of upward momentum in the days to come.

However, the RSI is currently hovering in the overbought zone. This signals that a short‑term pullback or slower consolidation may occur before the next leg higher. The immediate strong support remains near the $4.50 level.

Natural Gas 4-Hour Chart – Bullish Momentum
The 4-hour chart for natural gas shows that the price has broken above the $4.70 level after forming a bullish price structure above the $4.10 region. Multiple reversals from the $2.60 support zone have signaled a strong base for natural gas prices. A breakout above the black dotted trendline near $3.50 confirms sustained bullish momentum. These developments indicate further upside potential for natural gas in the coming days.

US Dollar Index (DXY) Technical Analysis
US Dollar Daily Chart – Bearish Pressure
The daily chart for the U.S. Dollar Index shows a continued decline below the 99 level. This move followed a failed attempt to break above the 100.50 resistance. The price has also dropped below the 50-day SMA. This breakdown increases the likelihood of a deeper move toward the 96.50 level. Additionally, the RSI remains below the mid-level, reinforcing short-term bearish pressure on the dollar.

US Dollar 4-Hour Chart – Negative Price Action
The chart for the U.S. Dollar Index shows that the index has broken below the 99 level. This level served as the neckline of a double top pattern. The formation of the double top near 100.50 suggests strong bearish pressure. This pattern increases the likelihood of continued downside toward the 98 level. A confirmed break below 98 would reinforce the bearish outlook and open the path for a further decline toward the 96.50 region.

DXCM DEADLINE: ROSEN, SKILLED INVESTOR COUNSEL, Encourages DexCom, Inc. Investors to Secure Counsel Before Important Deadline in Securities Class Action - DXCM stocknewsapi
DXCM
December 03, 2025 10:37 PM EST | Source: The Rosen Law Firm PA
New York, New York--(Newsfile Corp. - December 3, 2025) - WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of securities of DexCom, Inc. (NASDAQ: DXCM) between July 26, 2024 and September 17, 2025, both dates inclusive (the "Class Period") of the important December 29, 2025 lead plaintiff deadline.

SO WHAT: If you purchased DexCom securities during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement.

WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the DexCom class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=28133 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for information on the class action. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than December 29, 2025. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.

WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources, or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually litigate securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved, at that time, the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs' Bar. Many of the firm's attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.

DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, throughout the Class Period, defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) DexCom had made material design changes to the G6 and G7 continuous glucose monitoring ("CGM") systems that were unauthorized by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the "FDA"); (2) the foregoing design changes rendered the G6 and G7 less reliable than their prior iterations, presenting a material health risk to users relying on those devices for accurate glucose readings; (3) accordingly, defendants' purported enhancements to the G7, as well as the device's reliability, accuracy, and functionality, were overstated; (4) Defendants downplayed the true scope and severity of the issues and health risks posed by adulterated G7 devices; (5) all the foregoing subjected DexCom to an increased risk of heightened regulatory scrutiny and enforcement action, as well as significant legal, reputational, and financial harm; and (6) as a result, defendants' public statements were materially false and/or misleading at all relevant times. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

To join the DexCom class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=28133 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for information on the class action.

No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor's ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs' Bar. Many of the firm's attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.

DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, throughout the Class Period, defendants made materially false and misleading statements regarding Cepton's business, operations, and compliance policies. Specifically, defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Cepton had received a credible third-party bid valuing Cepton at more than double the Koito Acquisition (Cepton's merger with Koita Manufacturing Co., Ltd.); (2) Cepton's Board of Directors failed to meaningfully explore the foregoing offer and failed to disclose its terms when recommending that Cepton's shareholders approve the Koito Acquisition; (3) consequently, Cepton's shareholders were deprived of the opportunity to meaningfully consider whether to accept or reject the Koito Acquisition; and (4) as a result, defendants' public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.

No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor's ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

ROSEN, SKILLED INVESTOR COUNSEL, Encourages Skye Bioscience, Inc. Investors to Secure Counsel Before Important Deadline in Securities Class Action - SKYE stocknewsapi
SKYE
December 03, 2025 11:10 PM EST | Source: The Rosen Law Firm PA
New York, New York--(Newsfile Corp. - December 3, 2025) - WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of securities of Skye Bioscience, Inc. (NASDAQ: SKYE) between November 4, 2024 and October 3, 2025, both dates inclusive (the "Class Period"), of the important January 16, 2026 lead plaintiff deadline.

SO WHAT: If you purchased Skye securities during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement.

WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the Skye class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=48064 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for information on the class action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than January 16, 2026. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.

WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources, or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually litigate securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm achieved, at that time, the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs' Bar. Many of the firm's attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.

DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, throughout the Class Period, defendants made materially false and misleading statements regarding Skye's business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) nimacimab was less effective than defendants had led investors to believe; (2) accordingly, nimacimab's clinical, regulatory, and commercial prospects were overstated; and (3) as a result, defendants' public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

To join the Skye Bioscience class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=48064 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for information on the class action.

Thank you for standing by, and welcome to the 4DMedical Investor Webinar. [Operator Instructions]

Andreas Fouras
Founder, MD, CEO & Director

Hey everybody. Really, thank you so much for joining this call. I'm incredibly appreciative of your interest. I hope you can bear with me. My voice is pretty hoarse. I've literally had hundreds and hundreds of conversations with doctors over the last 3 days talking about CT:VQ at the RSNA conference. And it also doesn't help that it's currently below freezing here in Chicago where the whole place is covered in snow.

Let's get into it. Here is, of course, important notices. For those of you who are really new to the business, to 4DX, we are a structural and functional imaging software company. We take CT scans and add significant value to those to help the whole range of doctors, radiologists, lung doctors, surgeons. We have about 130 folks across our team with a key focus of our U.S. team being on our market and the rest of the team being in Australia. And we have -- we're excited. We now have 9 FDA-cleared devices as of early September when we got CT:VQ cleared by the FDA.

So this is our portfolio. One of the key things that we've learned over the last few years, in particular, since getting CT LVAS to market and the acquisition, which -- and this information led to the acquisition of Imbio, that there is really significant value in being a full-service offering. There's significant value that when our hospital signs

Citigroup Inc., Research Division

So welcome to those in the room and those listening online. I'm Yigal Nochomovitz. I'm covering Zymeworks since the beginning, at least since the beginning as a public company, which goes back quite a number of years. And so there's been a lot of advances with your pipeline. You had some, of course, excellent data recently with your partner, Jazz, which we can briefly talk about.

But before we get to that, let's talk about the big news, which is the change in strategy or evolution in strategy, maybe is a better word, to move to this royalty-based model. So kind of talk about the evolution of that, why you decided to do that now? What are the advantages both from a financial perspective as well as from just a pipeline and a portfolio prioritization perspective as to why you decided to do that now? And we'd love to hear how you're thinking about it.

Kenneth Galbraith
Chairman of the Board, CEO & President

That's great. No, thanks for that. Now I know how we're going to fill up 40 minutes of time. No, yes. I mean I wouldn't call it really a pivot or something drastic.

ROSEN, REGARDED INVESTOR COUNSEL, Encourages Avantor, Inc. Investors to Secure Counsel Before Important Deadline in Securities Class Action - AVTR stocknewsapi

December 03, 2025 9:30 PM EST | Source: The Rosen Law Firm PA
New York, New York--(Newsfile Corp. - December 3, 2025) - WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of common stock of Avantor, Inc. (NYSE: AVTR) between March 5, 2024 and October 28, 2025, both dates inclusive (the "Class Period"), of the important December 29, 2025 lead plaintiff deadline.

SO WHAT: If you purchased Avantor common stock during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement.

WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the Avantor class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=47303 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for information on the class action. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than December 29, 2025. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.

WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources, or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually litigate securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved, at that time, the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs' Bar. Many of the firm's attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.

DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, defendants misrepresented and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Avantor's competitive positioning was weaker than defendants had publicly represented; (2) Avantor was experiencing negative effects from increased competition; and (3) as a result, defendants' representations about Avantor's business, operations, and prospects were materially false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

To join the Avantor class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=47303 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for information on the class action.

No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor's ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

Is Elon Musk's Pay Package Really $1 Trillion? And What Could It Mean for Tesla's Stock? stocknewsapi
TSLA
Tesla stock could fall if Musk fails to get the company to reach these milestones.

It's almost the end of 2025, which means it's time for the annual corporate holiday party season, and performance reviews. Many companies conduct annual reviews for employees at the end of the calendar year, and electric carmaker Tesla (TSLA +4.17%) is no exception.

If you're looking for some negotiating power in your own pay-raise negotiations, you could point out that, on Nov. 5, 2025, Tesla shareholders approved a pay raise that gives Elon Musk, Tesla's leader and CEO, a total potential package of $1 trillion. That's a one with 12 zeroes. Hopefully, your boss will see much less extra money for you as a no-brainer in comparison.

But is the trillion-dollar Tesla headline figure accurate? Below are some details, and what it could mean for Tesla investors down the road.

Today's Change

Current Price

447.14

The details
The gist of the pay package is outlined in an SEC filing first released on Sept. 17, 2025. In a nutshell, Musk can receive nearly 424 million shares of Tesla as a dozen progressive performance milestones are met over the next decade. Meeting each of the milestones would result in Musk earning 35.2 million shares on 12 different occasions.

At the time of this writing, Tesla's share price is around $420, making the value of 424 million shares $178 billion as I write this. It's hardly peanuts, but that's well short of the $1 trillion figure. Another key detail is that Tesla's market capitalization will need to reach $8.5 trillion for milestone 12 to be met.

Using Tesla's current shares outstanding (3.5 billion) and the market cap target suggests a share price of about $2,400. That's nearly 6 times the current share price, which is extremely ambitious. (Note that 424 million shares multiplied by $2,400 gets you to over $1 trillion.)

Before I talk about the feasibility of the growth targets set out by the company and shareholders, let's review some of these performance milestones. The first is a straightforward car delivery target: Tesla must deliver 20 million vehicles. For context, in 2024, Tesla delivered 1.8 million vehicles and it has delivered an estimated 7.8 million vehicles since its founding.

The second milestone is for Tesla to achieve 10 million Full Self-Driving (FSD) subscriptions. Tesla doesn't currently say how many subscriptions it has, but one estimate is that 12% of its current fleet of 7.8 million vehicles has a subscription. This works out to 936,000 subscriptions. A tenfold increase is an aggressive growth target.

Image source: Tesla.

Milestones three and four relate to robots and robotaxis. Tesla must sell 1 million robots and have 1 million robotaxis "in operation" to meet this target. The remaining eight milestones relate to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) targets -- a widely used measure of profits -- which means they are profitability targets for Tesla as a whole. The first target is $50 billion in EBITDA, and the peak EBITDA target is $400 billion. Total Tesla EBITDA was $11 billion over the past 12 months, so for it to jump almost fivefold to hit the low end of the target is also very ambitious.

Piece of cake, right? Well...

Snap back to reality
At this point, investors might be feeling the pull of gravity on these ambitious growth targets for Musk to get his $1 trillion payday. There's no question that Musk's pay structure aligns his interests with shareholders, but are the targets feasible? It's not clear, and one big concern is that the stock could plummet if these lofty expectations aren't met. My biggest hang-ups are that the Optimus humanoid robots (announced at the company's Artificial Intelligence Day event in 2021 and what I assume are the bots in the projections) are still being tested and are only prototypes. Robotaxis are also off to a slow start in Austin and the San Francisco Bay Area, though Musk has wildly ambitious goals for around 1,500 robotaxis in those areas by the end of 2025.

Tesla's existing electric vehicle (EV) business is more straightforward because it is firmly established and has solid growth prospects. But success is far from assured -- Chinese EVs are quite advanced and expanding rapidly in China and across the globe. BYD, Li Auto, and XPeng are growing at a much faster rate these days. And the domestic incumbents are making inroads, as evidenced by the popularity and affordability of General Motors' Chevy Equinox.

Analysts project Tesla will grow sales nearly 15% this year to $110 billion, and earnings per share will reach $2.27, for a forward price-to-earnings ratio of 185. That earnings multiple is a bit rich for my blood given the competitive climate in EVs and concern that robots and self-driving cars might not reach their commercial potential. Musk could defy gravity and reach these lofty goals, but I would not recommend betting on it.

All right. Good afternoon, everyone. My name is Cory Kasimov, one of the senior biotech analysts here at Evercore. It's my pleasure to host this next discussion with Summit Therapeutics.

So we have Dave and Allen on stage now. We might have Bob and Maky jumping in here in the midst of this. And so in case that happens, don't be surprised. We fortunately have a little bit more time for this discussion. I'm sure you guys are excited about that. It's obviously been a very, very busy year for the company.

So I mean, Dave, maybe I'll turn it over to you to kick things off by reviewing kind of the company's accomplishments thus far in 2025 and kind of act as a level set for our conversation.

Dave Gancarz
Chief Business & Strategy Officer

Sure. Thanks, Cory, and I appreciate you hosting us and appreciate the invitation to the event. So we have accomplished quite a bit in 2025, and I think I would level set with speaking a little bit on the background of ivonescimab.

So importantly, there are 14 Phase III clinical trials that have been launched either by our partners at Akeso or by Summit on the global stage. So 4 global Phase IIIs in addition to 10 that are being currently run in China. That results in about 3,000 patients who -- over 3,000 patients who have been administered ivonescimab in a clinical setting. And I believe our partners at Akeso
