Upexi Taps SOL Big Brain and Arthur Hayes to Strengthen Solana Focus cryptonews
SOL
TLDR

Upexi has appointed SOL Big Brain, a Solana investor, to its advisory committee.
The company now has Arthur Hayes, co-founder of BitMEX, on its advisory team.
Upexi’s Solana strategy includes holding over 2 million SOL tokens, valued at approximately $410 million.
The company stakes most of its Solana holdings to earn an 8% yield for investors.
Upexi’s net asset value has increased to $433 million, thanks to Solana’s rising market price.

Upexi, the Nasdaq-listed company, has named prominent Solana investor SOL Big Brain to its advisory committee. The move, announced Tuesday, aims to strengthen the company’s crypto strategy. SOL Big Brain joins Maelstrom Fund co-founder Arthur Hayes, who was appointed earlier this year.

Upexi’s Solana Strategy Grows Stronger
Upexi has increasingly focused on Solana, after shifting from its origins as a consumer brand aggregator. In April, the company began its large-scale accumulation of Solana’s SOL tokens with a $6.7 million purchase. It now holds over 2 million SOL tokens, valued at around $410 million.

The company states that it stakes most of its Solana holdings to earn about an 8% yield. By doing so, Upexi offers investors institutional-grade exposure to Solana without requiring them to manage infrastructure. This approach aligns with Upexi’s broader strategy to leverage cryptocurrency for growth while maintaining simplicity.

Key Figures in Upexi’s Crypto Leadership
Upexi’s advisory committee now includes two well-known figures from the crypto world. SOL Big Brain, a prominent Solana investor, brings significant expertise to the team. Hayes, a former BitMEX co-founder, brings his experience from aggressively trading memecoins like PEPE.

Hayes has shifted his focus toward high-yield decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols, such as EtherFi and Ethena. He believes that the next wave of crypto growth will come from projects that reward tokenholders with shared revenue. His insights further strengthen Upexi’s strategic positioning within the crypto space.

Upexi’s Solana bet has been advantageous, particularly with the rise in SOL’s market price. When the company started accumulating SOL, it was priced around $100, near a 13-month low. Since then, the price has more than doubled to $208, boosting Upexi’s net asset value to $433 million.

154,448,000,000 SHIB Restores Hope as NetFlow Plunges 21% cryptonews
SHIB
Shiba Inu is down 1.83% in its trading price over the last 24 hours. However, a relative decline in its exchange net inflow has triggered attention from investors.

According to data from an on-chain analytics platform, Shiba Inu has recorded a decrease of 154.4 billion SHIB in its overall net inflow across all supported exchanges, including Coinbase, Binance, and others.

SHIB holders show resilience Despite the slowdown in Shiba Inu’s trading price, its exchange flows have shown a 21.83% decline, suggesting that holders have shown less interest in selling.

HOT Stories

While this key metric signals a dramatic shift in investor sentiment, it appears that the decline in SHIB’s trading price is not entirely attributed to speculative trading. Rather, it might be the leading altcoin responding to the broader market trend.

The metric, which marks the difference between exchange inflows and outflows, suggests that the amount of Shiba Inu tokens withdrawn from exchanges is larger than the amount of tokens deposited for sale by 154,448,000,000 SHIB.

This trend indicates that many small and large SHIB holders have shown no interest in selling their holdings despite the negative price trend. Instead, they are moving their tokens into self-custody wallets to hold for longer periods.

While the decline in exchange flows stands as a bullish indicator, it aims to tighten the supply available on crypto exchanges while propelling the token toward a potential price upsurge.

Although the low selling activity could highlight strong investor confidence, it is also important to note that the slow market activity could mean that investors are trading with caution.

The sharp plunge in net flows could help stabilize the price movements of the leading memecoin, and investors are confident that the token might be set for bigger price rallies ahead.

To further build momentum for the dog-themed meme cryptocurrency, its burn activity has also surged decently by 22.98% after staying flat in previous days.

With 171,407 SHIB tokens moved out of circulation today, the resurgence in the SHIB burn rate aligns with the decline in exchange net flows, as they work hand in hand to tighten the SHIB supply while driving demand for the token.

Michael Saylor ignores Strategy critics, makes bold $1T commitment to BTC cryptonews
BTC
Michael Saylor, executive chairman of Strategy, has outlined an audacious endgame for his company, and that is to accumulate $1 trillion worth of Bitcoin. This is coming at a time when criticisms of him and his company’s Bitcoin accumulation strategy have gone up a few decibels. 

In a recent conversation with Bitcoin Magazine, Saylor compared Bitcoin to historic breakthroughs such as fire, electricity, and oil, calling it property, capital and energy in cyberspace.

Saylor’s trillion-dollar Bitcoin endgame
Saylor envisions Strategy building its Bitcoin treasury to $1 trillion and moving far beyond that. Strategy has already become the most prominent corporate Bitcoin holder since it pivoted in 2020 from business software to a digital asset-focused balance sheet.

Strategy now holds 640,031 BTC, purchased through a mix of cash reserves, convertible debt, and repeated equity issuance. It announced the acquisition of 196 Bitcoins for $22.1 million when the token dipped below $110,000, as Cryptopolitan reported on Monday.

Saylor insists the model is only beginning to take hold. He notes that while only a handful of listed firms held Bitcoin in 2020 when Strategy went all in on the cryptocurrency, more than 180 do today. He predicts this will grow to thousands as companies shift their balance sheets toward digital assets. 

Saylor also believes that tech giants such as Apple, Google and Microsoft will eventually embed Bitcoin into their operating systems and hardware.

For Saylor, the stakes go beyond corporate profits. He frames Bitcoin as a foundation of economic integrity, decentralization, and energy efficiency, a financial system that can transfer value across time and space.

Skeptics question the model
Critics, however, remain unconvinced. There is also a very vocal group speaking about the “impending doom” that awaits Saylor’s Strategy and the people and institutions who have invested in them. 

In June this year, veteran short-seller Jim Chanos described parts of Saylor’s valuation logic as “financial gibberish,” questioning why Strategy trades at a premium to the value of its Bitcoin holdings. 

Peter Schiff, chief economist and strategist at Euro Pacific Capital, also shared similar sentiments in an X post last week, calling Saylor’s business strategy “harebrained” and pointing out that Strategy (MSTR) has been “down 45%” since its November 2024 high.

A recent report showed that Strategy’s stock, which for years traded well above the net asset value of its Bitcoin stash, has lost some of its luster. Saylor has brushed off the trend, saying he is unbothered.

Analysts warn of dilution risk, since Strategy funds purchases largely by issuing stock or convertible notes. While the strategy boosts the Bitcoin treasury, it also leaves common shareholders with a smaller slice of the company.

Saylor’s struggle to defend his vision is perennial 
Saylor dismisses such concerns, likening criticism of Bitcoin to historic resistance against electricity or nuclear power. Each new price milestone, he argues, brings a new wave of skeptics, yet adoption continues to expand. 

He also rejects the notion that corporate buying crowds out retail investors, pointing to the estimated $1.8 trillion in gains enjoyed by individuals since companies such as Strategy and BlackRock entered the market.

The scale of his ambition, however, raises questions of feasibility. To reach a trillion-dollar Bitcoin reserve at current prices, Strategy would need to hold around 9 million BTC, close to half of the total supply that will ever exist. Even if Bitcoin rises sharply, the capital required would dwarf the company’s present means.

However, the symbolic power of Saylor’s claim may be as important as its literal execution. In his telling, Bitcoin offers not just a speculative hedge but a chance to power a global system of trust. According to him, Strategy’s model will be remembered as a paradigm shift in corporate treasury management.

Michael Saylor Reveals Strategy's Plan to Accumulate $1 Trillion in Bitcoin cryptonews
BTC
TLDR

Michael Saylor revealed that Strategy aims to accumulate $1 trillion in Bitcoin for its treasury.
Saylor believes Bitcoin represents a revolutionary form of energy, capital, and property in cyberspace.
Strategy’s Bitcoin strategy has inspired over 180 publicly traded companies to adopt Bitcoin as a core treasury asset.
Saylor predicts that major companies like Apple, Google, and Microsoft will eventually embed Bitcoin support into their systems.
He dismissed concerns about corporate investors crowding out individual investors, citing significant gains for retail holders.

Michael Saylor, the executive chairman of Strategy, has outlined an ambitious plan to accumulate $1 trillion in Bitcoin. Saylor believes Bitcoin represents a new form of energy and capital, comparing it to transformative forces like fire, electricity, and oil. According to Saylor, the end goal for Strategy is to hold a trillion dollars’ worth of Bitcoin and expand its influence from there.

Saylor sees Bitcoin as a revolutionary force in digital energy, offering a unique way to transfer value. He views it as property, capital, and energy in cyberspace, transcending traditional forms of wealth. Saylor’s vision is for Bitcoin to become a core asset for both corporations and individuals in the digital age.

Bitcoin as a Paradigm Shift in Corporate Strategy
Saylor highlighted the growing importance of Bitcoin within corporate strategies. Since 2020, Strategy has led the charge in adopting Bitcoin as a treasury asset, inspiring numerous other companies to follow suit. He predicts that over 180 publicly traded companies already hold Bitcoin, and the number will rise into the thousands in the coming years.

As more companies adopt Bitcoin, Saylor expects major firms like Apple, Google, and Microsoft to integrate Bitcoin support into their operating systems and hardware. He believes that such moves will signal widespread mainstream adoption. Saylor’s bold prediction is that Bitcoin will outperform the S&P 500 indefinitely, changing the financial landscape.

Saylor Believes Bitcoin Growth Benefits All Investors
Saylor is confident that Bitcoin’s growth will benefit both corporations and individual investors. He rejected concerns that corporate investments in Bitcoin would crowd out retail investors. In fact, he pointed out that individual investors have seen significant gains since corporations like Strategy began accumulating Bitcoin.

Strategy’s strategy of acquiring more Bitcoin has not only boosted the company’s performance but also strengthened the entire Bitcoin network. According to Saylor, corporate adoption of Bitcoin is a net positive for early investors. He emphasized that Bitcoin’s decentralized nature ensures that individuals, companies, and even governments can hold their own reserves without relying on central institutions.

Saylor’s vision for Bitcoin extends beyond corporate success. He views it as a global system of trust and economic integrity. For him, the trillion-dollar goal is a step toward a new foundation of digital energy and value.

Ashland production unit at Calvert City is offline, equipment requires replacement with no impact expected to customer orders stocknewsapi
ASH
Wilmington, Del., Sept. 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ashland Inc. (NYSE: ASH) today announced that a production unit at its Calvert City, Kentucky manufacturing facility is currently offline following an equipment-related incident that occurred earlier this month.

The affected unit was safely shut down for repairs and fabrication and installation of new equipment will be required to restore full functionality. Based on current assessments, repairs are expected to be completed during fiscal Q1 2026, primarily due to the lead time required for sourcing parts.

The damage and repair activities are confined to Ashland’s upstream operations. While a production unit will be temporarily shut down during the repair period, the site remains partially operational. Ashland does not anticipate any impact on customer deliveries or sales commitments during the outage period, supported by finished goods inventory and ongoing production from unaffected units.

The company expects the primary impact to be operational in nature, including repair costs and absorption-related inefficiencies. Ashland is actively coordinating production and inventory across its integrated network to support efficient operations and optimize working capital. Ashland currently estimates the Adjusted EBITDA impact to be minimal in fiscal 2025 with a carryover impact of approximately $10 million in fiscal 2026, depending on final repair timing and absorption dynamics. The financial impact remains an estimate and will be updated as new relevant information becomes available.

Ashland expects to provide its next update on the status of repairs and operational impact during its Q4 earnings release.

NEW YORK, Sept. 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --

What’s Happening:

Bragar Eagel & Squire, P.C., a nationally recognized stockholder rights law firm, is investigating potential claims against Agilon Health, Inc. (“Agilon” or the “Company”) (NYSE:AGL) on behalf of Agilon stockholders. Our investigation concerns whether Agilon has violated the federal securities laws and/or engaged in other unlawful business practices.
Investigation Details:

On August 4, 2025, Agilon Health, Inc. announced that its President, Chief Executive Officer, and Board Director, Steven Sell, had resigned from all positions. The Company also released its second-quarter 2025 financial results and withdrew its previously issued full-year 2025 earnings guidance. These disclosures came as a surprise to the market, and the Company’s share price fell by more than 27% in after-hours trading. The investigation focuses on whether Agilon failed to disclose information material to investors, specifically regarding the timing, circumstances, or implications of its leadership transition and guidance withdrawal, despite prior public statements, thereby potentially violating federal securities laws.
Next Steps:

If you purchased or otherwise acquired Agilon shares and suffered a loss, are a long-term stockholder, have information, would like to learn more about these claims, or have any questions concerning this announcement or your rights or interests with respect to these matters, please contact Brandon Walker or Marion Passmore by email at [email protected], by telephone at (212) 355-4648, or by filling out this contact form.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Investors in MoonLake Immunotherapeutics (NASDAQ: MLTX) saw the price of their shares crater $55.75, or about 90%, after the company announced disastrous VELA-2 trial results for sonelokimab, its highly anticipated treatment for patients with skin disease (hidradenitis suppurative or “HS”).

The development and severe market reaction has prompted national shareholders rights firm Hagens Berman to open an investigation into whether MoonLake may have misled investors about sonelokimab’s trial design and efficacy.

The firm urges investors in MoonLake who suffered significant losses to submit your losses now. The firm also encourages persons with knowledge who may be able to assist in the investigation to contact its attorneys.

MoonLake Immunotherapeutics (MLTX) Investigation:

The investigation is focused on MoonLake’s disclosures about the company’s planning for possible intercurrent events after participants start treatment and about the likelihood of achieving the HiSCR75 primary endpoint - a scale which defines treatment success as at least a 75% reduction in inflammatory lesions.

Before Sept. 29, 2025, MoonLake expressed confidence to investors in sonelokimab’s trial designs, encouraged the belief that the studies could show at least a 20% difference between the sonelokimab group and patients given a placebo, and has assured investors that “we really have a drug here that can become the gold standard and obviously that will facilitate any winning that we do with sonelokimab in HS.”

Investors’ expectations were dashed on Sep. 29, 2025, when MoonLake announced that in its VELA-2 trial “intercurrent events in the higher-than-expected placebo arm precluded the study from achieving statistical significance in the week 16 primary endpoint using the composite strategy (HiSCR75, delta to placebo of 9%[.]”

On this news, the price of MoonLake shares cratered $55.75 (-90%) that day, with one analyst reportedly writing in a note to investors that the results “’arguably fall[] into the worst case outcome.’”

“We’re focused on investors’ losses and whether MoonLake may have misled investors about the VELA-2 design and planning for potential intercurrent events while claiming that sonelokimab could become a ‘gold standard’,” said Reed Kathrein, the Hagens Berman partner leading the investigation.

FLR Investors Have Opportunity to Join Fluor Corporation Fraud Investigation With the DJS Law Group stocknewsapi
FLR
, /PRNewswire/ -- The DJS Law Group reminds investors that it is investigating claims against Fluor Corporation ("Fluor" or "the Company") (NYSE: FLR) for violations of securities laws. 

The investigation centers on whether the Company made false and/or misleading statements or omitted information critical to investors. On August 1, 2025, Fluor announced its second-quarter financial results and reduced its full-year forecast. The Company attributed its underwhelming performance to rising expenses across several infrastructure projects—citing subcontractor design flaws, cost escalations, and timeline setbacks. It further stated that clients are cutting back on capital expenditures. These challenges were not previously disclosed when the Company reaffirmed its full-year outlook. Following this announcement, Fluor's stock declined by over 30.5% during early trading that same day.

The Best Top-Ranked Stocks to Buy in October stocknewsapi
STRL
Key Takeaways Utilize a Zacks screen to help find some of the best #1 (Strong Buy) stocks to buy now.Buy soaring AI data center infrastructure stock Sterling for long-term upside.
The bullish pillars of surging earnings growth and interest rate cuts remain in place to start the fourth quarter.

Even if there is healthy selling to recalibrate a slightly overheated market heading into Q3 earnings season in the middle of October, it should be bought up rather quickly.

This backdrop is why investors likely want to buy stocks in October and throughout Q4. Today, we explore how investors can use a Zacks screen to help find some of the best Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) stocks out of a group of over 200 highly-ranked companies.  

Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) stocks outperform the market in good and bad times. However, there are over 200 stocks that earn a Zacks Rank #1 at any given time.

Therefore, it’s helpful to understand how to apply filters to the Zacks Rank in order to narrow the list down to a more manageable and tradable set of stocks.

The Best "Strong Buy" Stock Screen ParametersClearly, there are only three items on this screen. But together, these three filters can result in some impressive returns.

• Zacks Rank equal to 1

Starting with a Zacks Rank #1 is often a strong jumping off point because it boasts an average annual return of roughly 24.4% per year since 1988.

• % Change (Q1) Est. over 4 Weeks greater than 0

Positive current quarter estimate revisions over the last four weeks.

• % Broker Rating Change over 4 Week equal to Top # 5

Top 5 stocks with the best average broker rating changes over the last four weeks.

This strategy comes loaded with the Research Wizard and is called bt_sow_filtered zacks rank5. It can be found in the SoW (Screen of the Week) folder.

Here is one of the five stocks that qualified for the Filtered Zacks Rank 5 strategy today…

Buy Soaring AI Data Center Infrastructure Stock STRL NowSterling Infrastructure, Inc. (STRL - Free Report) , as its name suggests, is a leading player in the U.S. infrastructure space, operating across three core businesses: E-Infrastructure, Transportation, and Building Solutions.

STRL is benefitting from the AI data center boom, reshoring, energy industry expansion, and beyond. The firm specializes in the first phase of construction, from site selection to planning and site prep. Sterling boasts that it can “scale to meet any size project.”

Image Source: Zacks Investment Research

STRL’s E-Infrastructure division works directly with some of the fastest-growing areas of the economy, including AI data centers, e-commerce and distribution centers, and beyond. The Texas-headquartered firm has posted impressive revenue and GAAP earnings per share (EPS) growth over the past several years.

Image Source: Zacks Investment Research

The company posted a blockbuster beat-and-raise second quarter in early August. The AI data center infrastructure company grew its backlog by 24% YoY to close Q2 at $2 billion, as it lands “mission-critical projects, including data centers and manufacturing.”

Sterling’s EPS estimates for FY25 and FY26 climbed around 10% since its Q2 release to earn it a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) and extend its impressive run of upward earnings revisions.

It is projected to grow its revenue by 7% in 2025 and 13% next year to reach $2.54 billion. Better yet, Sterling’s adjusted earnings are expected to expand by 57% this year and 15% in FY26 to reach $10.98 a share.

Image Source: Zacks Investment Research

STRL stock has skyrocketed 2,300% in the past five years as part of a much larger surge over the past 25 years, which included a rough stretch between 2006 and 2015.

The stock has pulled back a bit after hitting new all-time highs last week and reaching its most overbought RSI levels over the past year. Sterling is attempting to hold its ground at its 21-day moving average. On top of that, all four brokerage recommendations Zacks has for Sterling are “Strong Buys.”

MPA Contract Extended to Continue Delivering the Transformational Hudson Tunnel Project, the Most Urgent Rail Project in United States stocknewsapi
PSN
Hudson Tunnel Project Proves that America is Building Again

, /PRNewswire/ -- MPA Delivery Partners, the joint venture of Mace, Parsons Corporation (NYSE: PSN), and Arcadis (AMS: ARCAD) announced today that the team has been awarded a $665 million, 4.5-year contract extension by the Gateway Development Commission (GDC) to continue managing the successful delivery of the Hudson Tunnel Project (HTP).

The HTP is progressing on-schedule and expected to create more than 95,000 jobs around the United States and generate more than $19 billion in economic activity. In addition to the thousands of talented employees in the New York/New Jersey region, the project is driving demand for U.S. suppliers of steel, aggregates, rail and track, and ventilation systems. Companies from North Carolina, Texas, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Alabama, Colorado, and Tennessee are benefiting from the Hudson Tunnel Project, unlocking the power of American ingenuity, and proving that the country is building again. With multiple active construction sites managing different portions of the HTP, the project is on-schedule for the new Gateway Tunnel completion in 2035, and the existing tunnel's rehabilitation by 2038.

"This is a once-in-a-generation project and a true collaboration between the public and private sectors that will serve as a model for delivering future mega-infrastructure projects around the world," said Joe Marie, senior project executive for MPA Delivery Partners. "We are united in our goal of successfully completing this critical project, which will transform the Northeast Corridor and deliver billions of dollars of economic growth to the U.S. economy. GDC and MPA function as a fully integrated partnership, working closely together to ensure the Hudson Tunnel Project is completed on time and within budget."

The Hudson Tunnel Project is the cornerstone of the Gateway Program and is widely considered the most urgent rail infrastructure project in the United States. The transformational project involves building a brand new two-tube rail tunnel under the Hudson River and rehabilitating the existing 115-year-old tunnel as well as nine miles of new passenger rail track between New York and New Jersey to improve passenger rail service and enhance the reliability of the Northeast Corridor. These improvements will accelerate economic prosperity and growth around the country while improving long-term reliability and redundancy of the regional and national rail networks for NJ TRANSIT and Amtrak. Ultimately, the Hudson Tunnel Project will establish a new 100-year legacy of engineering excellence built by and for America.

MPA was selected as the delivery partner on the project in February 2024. The delivery partner model has an internationally proven track record for helping public agencies deliver large-scale infrastructure projects. The collaborative delivery partner model has an internationally proven success record for helping public- and private-sector organizations deliver large-scale capital projects with benchmark efficiency and socioeconomic benefits.

Is Draganfly's Army Partnership a Game-Changer for Investors? stocknewsapi
DPRO
Draganfly Today

52-Week Range$1.63▼

$9.55Price Target$6.50

On Sept. 30, the market delivered a powerful and unambiguous verdict on Draganfly Inc. NASDAQ: DPRO. Shares of the drone technology company surged over 17%, driven by an unprecedented wave of investor interest that saw trading volume skyrocket to more than 58 million shares, a staggering figure compared to its daily average of roughly 1.9 million shares. This dramatic market action was ignited by a single, transformative catalyst: the announcement of a multifaceted contract with the U.S. Army.

For investors scrutinizing the company, this event signifies far more than a short-term price spike; it represents the culmination of a focused strategic pivot, potentially launching Draganfly into a new and far more stable phase of growth.

Get Draganfly alerts:

The Army Partnership: A Pillar of Growth
The agreement with the U.S. Army is significant not just for its prestige, but for its intelligent and deeply integrated structure. This contract provides Draganfly with more than a one-time hardware sale. It is a foundational partnership designed for long-term operational readiness, a distinction that fundamentally changes how investors should assess the company's future revenue potential and competitive standing.

More Than Drones: Strategic Depth
The contract's design reveals a forward-thinking approach that creates a durable and defensible relationship. It is built on three core pillars:

Advanced Technology: Draganfly will supply its high-performance Flex FPV (First Person View) drone systems. FPV technology, which gives operators a real-time, in-the-field view from the drone's perspective, has proven to be a game-changer for reconnaissance and tactical missions in modern conflicts, making it a high-priority capability for the U.S. military.
Embedded Manufacturing: As a key strategic differentiator, Draganfly will help establish on-site drone manufacturing within U.S. military facilities overseas. This innovative model is a logistical masterstroke, shortening critical supply chains, accelerating deployment, and embedding Draganfly's processes and technology directly into Army operations.
Training and Support: The company will also provide comprehensive flight and manufacturing training to Army personnel. This creates an ongoing service and support component, ensuring the U.S. Army can sustain its own drone operations and cementing Draganfly's role as an indispensable partner, not just a vendor.

From Plan to Partnership: A Proven Strategy
This landmark contract was the direct result of a series of deliberate strategic moves that validated Draganfly's technology and aligned the company with the stringent requirements of the Department of Defense (DoD). The company’s successful technology demonstrations at the T-REX 24-2 military exercise in September served as a crucial proof of concept.

The win was further enabled by Draganfly's proactive expansion of its U.S. manufacturing footprint and its steadfast focus on building a secure, NDAA-compliant supply chain, a non-negotiable prerequisite for sensitive defense contracts that immediately disqualifies many foreign-based competitors. The contract is the culmination of a clear pattern of execution by management, building on other key partnerships in the defense and humanitarian sectors, such as Draganfly’s work with SafeLane Global on demining drones.

Fuel for Growth: A Strong Balance Sheet
A major contract win can strain a smaller company's resources, but Draganfly's financial planning appears to have positioned it well to execute. While the company is still in its growth phase, it reported a net loss of $4.7 million in its second quarter 2025 earnings report; however, its balance sheet shows considerable strength.

At the end of Q2 2025, Draganfly's cash balance exceeded $22.5 million. This was further strengthened by a $25 million registered direct offering that was finalized in July. This capital base is critical, providing the necessary fuel to scale production and manage the complex logistics of the U.S. Army contract without the immediate need for dilutive financing. It allows the company to confidently fund its operations and bridge the gap toward what could be a significant and sustained increase in revenue.

The partnership with the U.S. Army fundamentally alters the investment narrative for Draganfly. This contract serves as a powerful validation, effectively de-risking the company's technology and business model in the eyes of the market. It demonstrates a clear ability to move beyond smaller-scale programs and secure a cornerstone contract with one of the world's most demanding clients.

Consequently, prior analyst valuations and price targets, which currently form the consensus average of $6.50, are now based on outdated information. These figures were established before this transformative agreement was announced and are likely subject to upward revisions as financial models are updated to reflect this new reality. 

For investors, the conversation has shifted. The question is no longer whether Draganfly can win in the competitive defense sector but rather how effectively it can execute this foundational contract and leverage it to secure future growth. This U.S. Army deal establishes a new, and significantly higher, baseline for Draganfly’s trajectory and potential valuation.

Lifeway and Danone Sign Cooperation Agreement stocknewsapi
LWAY
New Independent Directors to be Added 

Stockholders' Agreement Litigation is Stayed

Lifeway is Evaluating Capital Allocation Alternatives to Maximize Value

Danone Will Not Vote or Deliver Consent in Favor of Proposals Contained in the Consent Solicitation

, /PRNewswire/ -- Lifeway Foods, Inc. (NASDAQ: LWAY) ("Lifeway" or "the Company"), a leading U.S. supplier of kefir and fermented probiotic products that support the microbiome, today announced a Cooperation Agreement with Danone North America PBC ("Danone"). Subject to the terms and conditions of the Cooperation Agreement, Lifeway agreed to carry out an orderly refreshment of its board of directors (the "Board"), and the pending litigation pertaining to Danone's Stockholders' Agreement with Lifeway will be stayed. Additionally, Danone has agreed not to act by written consent in favor of proposals contained in the ongoing consent solicitation filed by Edward and Ludmila Smolyansky, among others, and to support the Board's recommended director candidates at the 2025 and 2026 annual meetings.

As part of the Cooperation Agreement:

Refreshment of the Lifeway Board – Lifeway agreed that, by October 30, 2025, Lifeway's Board will appoint three directors who are, and by November 14, 2025 Lifeway's Board will appoint one more director who is, independent under Nasdaq rules, selected by the Board's Strategic Review Committee (which is solely comprised of Lifeway independent directors) and unaffiliated with Danone, Ed and Lucy Smolyansky, Lifeway and any current Lifeway officer or director, subject to Danone's good faith review and approval (not unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). In addition, to promote good governance practices while preserving the benefits of board continuity through an orderly board refreshment process, Pol Sikar will step down from the Board on or before the Company's 2025 annual meeting of shareholders, and Jay Scher and another current member of the Board will step down from the Board on or before the Company's 2026 annual meeting of shareholders. Pol and Jay are the longest serving members of the Board, and the Company thanks them for their service and contributions.
Chair – Lifeway agreed that, by the earlier of October 30, 2025 and the date on which the third new independent director is appointed to the Board, the Board will separate the Chair and CEO roles, consistent with good corporate governance practices, and appoint an independent director to serve as Chair of the Board. Julie Smolyansky will continue in her role as CEO of the Company.
Stay of Litigation – Lifeway and Danone agreed to jointly stay pending litigation.
Stockholders' Agreement – Lifeway agreed to comply with the Stockholders' Agreement without contesting or admitting its validity, and Danone has agreed to waive certain rights under the Stockholders' Agreement, including its right to appoint a member of the Board. In addition, Danone has agreed to waive and not to enforce any of its rights under the Stockholders' Agreement (except for books and records rights), if Danone and its affiliates no longer own at least 5% of the number of shares of Lifeway common stock currently outstanding.
No Support for Certain Future Solicitations – In the event that at any time prior to June 30, 2026, Edward or Ludmila Smolyansky call a special meeting of shareholders or commence a consent solicitation, Danone will vote or deliver a consent in accordance with the Board's recommendations with respect to all matters relating to Board composition and, with certain exceptions, Lifeway's organizational documents.
Issuance of equity-based compensation – Lifeway's Compensation Committee will be permitted to issue equity-based compensation to members of Lifeway's management other than Julie Smolyansky and her relatives, enabling Lifeway to attract and retain talent consistent with other public companies.
Shelf Registration Cooperation – Lifeway has agreed to file a shelf registration statement by October 30, 2025, which would facilitate the public registration of Danone's shares for sale, if Danone decides to sell shares of Lifeway common stock. Danone has agreed that, if it determines to sell its stake in Lifeway, it will consider in good faith a potential marketed offering of all or a portion of its shares of Lifeway's Common Stock.

In addition, Lifeway is in the process of evaluating capital allocation alternatives in light of these changes in order to maximize value for shareholders.

Julie Smolyansky, Lifeway's Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, said: "Lifeway has always been about resilience, innovation, and community. This agreement allows us to move forward with clarity and stability, while continuing to focus on what matters most: bringing probiotic-rich foods to more families and creating value for our shareholders. We are pleased to have this agreement in place as we enter this next chapter of growth."

The full Cooperation Agreement will be filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on a Current Report on Form 8-K.

ROSEN, A RANKED AND LEADING LAW FIRM, Encourages Charter Communications, Inc. Investors to Secure Counsel Before Important Deadline in Securities Class Action – CHTR stocknewsapi
CHTR
NEW YORK, Sept. 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --

WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of securities (as well as purchasers of call options or sellers of put options) of Charter Communications, Inc. (NASDAQ: CHTR) between July 26, 2024 and July 24, 2025, both dates inclusive (the “Class Period”), of the important October 13, 2025 lead plaintiff deadline.

SO WHAT: If you purchased Charter Communications 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 Charter Communications class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=44682 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 October 13, 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 achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company at the time. 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 made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) the impact of the Federal Communications Commission’s (“FCC”) Affordable Connectivity Program (“ACP”) end was a material event the Company was unable to manage or promptly move beyond; (2) the ACP end was having a sustaining impact on Internet customer declines and revenue; (3) neither was Charter Communications executing broader operations in a way that would compensate for, or overcome the impact, of the ACP ending; (4) the Internet customer declines and broader failure of Charter’s execution strategy created much greater risks on business plans and earnings growth than reported; (5) accordingly, Charter Communications had no reasonable basis to state that it was successfully executing operations, managing causes of Internet customer declines, or provide overly optimistic statements about the long term trajectory of the Company and EBITDA growth; and (6) as a result of the foregoing, defendants materially misled with, and/or lacked a reasonable basis for, their positive statements about Charter Communications’ business, operations, outlook during the Class Period. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

To join the Charter Communications class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=44682 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.

LNTH Investors Have Opportunity to Lead Lantheus Holdings, Inc. Securities Fraud Lawsuit with the Schall Law Firm stocknewsapi
LNTH
, /PRNewswire/ -- The Schall Law Firm, a national shareholder rights litigation firm, reminds investors of a class action lawsuit against Lantheus Holdings, Inc. ("Lantheus" or "the Company") (NASDAQ: LNTH) for violations of §§10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

Investors who purchased the Company's securities between February 26, 2025, and August 5, 2025, inclusive (the "Class Period"), are encouraged to contact the firm before November 10, 2025.

If you are a shareholder who suffered a loss, click here to participate.

We also encourage you to contact Brian Schall of the Schall Law Firm, 2049 Century Park East, Suite 2460, Los Angeles, CA 90067, at 310-301-3335, to discuss your rights free of charge. You can also reach us through the firm's website at www.schallfirm.com, or by email at [email protected].

The class, in this case, has not yet been certified, and until certification occurs, you are not represented by an attorney. If you choose to take no action, you can remain an absent class member.

According to the Complaint, the Company made false and misleading statements to the market. Lantheus misled investors about the growth of Pylarify, its prostate cancer imaging product. The Company touted Pylarify's market leadership position and downplayed competitive pressures that were eating into its market position. The Company suffered sharp sales declines, revealing the truth of Pylarify's position in the market. Based on these facts, the Company's public statements were false and materially misleading throughout the class period. When the market learned the truth about Lantheus, investors suffered damages.

Join the case to recover your losses

Proceeds from the offering of senior unsecured notes, together with cash on hand, to be used to redeem $2.0 billion of 6.000% senior unsecured notes due 2029

The Company expects to use the proceeds from the Notes Offering, together with cash on hand, to redeem its $2.0 billion 6.000% senior unsecured notes due 2029 (the "2029 Unsecured Notes") after the closing of the Notes Offering.

The transaction is a continuation of the Company's strategy to reduce interest expense. In addition, the indenture that will govern the Notes will have investment grade-style covenants.

The Notes Offering is expected to close on October 15, 2025, subject to customary closing conditions.

The Notes will pay interest semi-annually on May 1 and November 1 of each year, beginning on May 1, 2026 at a rate of 5.125% per year. The Notes will be unsecured and will mature on May 1, 2029. The Notes will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed on an unsecured basis, jointly and severally, by Carnival plc and certain of the Company's and Carnival plc's subsidiaries that also guarantee our first-priority secured indebtedness, certain of our other unsecured notes and our convertible notes.

This press release does not constitute a notice of redemption with respect to the 2029 Unsecured Notes.

The Notes are being offered only to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and outside the United States, only to non-U.S. investors pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act.

The Notes will not be registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state laws.

This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to purchase the Notes or any other securities and shall not constitute an offer, solicitation or sale in any state or jurisdiction in which such offering, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.

Oatly Announces Issuance of SEK 1,700 million Nordic Bonds, Entry into SEK 750 million Super Senior Revolving Credit Facility and Intention to Complete Prepayment of Term Loan B, as well as Repurchase and Cancellation of Certain Convertible Senior PIK Notes due 2028 stocknewsapi
OTLY
MALMÖ, Sweden, Sept. 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Oatly Group AB (Nasdaq: OTLY) (“Oatly” or the “Company”) announced today that it has issued SEK denominated senior secured floating rate bonds in a total amount of SEK 1,700 million (the “Nordic Bonds”), entered into a new sustainability-linked SEK 750 million super senior revolving credit facility agreement and intends to complete its repurchase of certain U.S. Notes (as defined below).

Marie-José David, Oatly’s CFO, commented, “These transactions represent yet another step forward in our company’s transformation journey. They strengthen our financial foundation by reducing our total outstanding debt, lowering costs related to the remaining outstanding debt, improving the terms of our capital structure, as well as reducing the dilution impact of our convertible notes. We have done all this while not raising additional financing and our business plan remaining fully funded.”

The proceeds from the Nordic Bonds will initially fund into an escrow account and are intended to be released to the Company on or around October 3, 2025, subject to customary conditions. The new senior revolving credit facility is intended to become effective thereafter, subject to prepayment in full of the group’s existing $130 million term loan B credit facility (the “TLB”) and customary conditions. As previously communicated, the Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Nordic Bonds to prepay the TLB in full, to repurchase and cancel certain of its U.S. Notes as further described below and to pay related transaction costs.

The proceeds from the Nordic Bonds will also be used to complete the transactions contemplated by the Convertible Note Repurchase Agreements (the “Repurchase Agreements”) which the Company entered into on September 9, 2025, with certain accredited investors (the “Selling Noteholders”) that are holders of the Company’s 9.25% Convertible Senior PIK Notes due 2028 (CUSIP No. 67421J AC2) (the “U.S. Notes”). The transactions contemplated by the Repurchase Agreements will result in U.S. Notes sold by the Selling Noteholders being cancelled and no longer outstanding, and are expected to close on or around October 3, 2025, following release of the Nordic Bonds proceeds from escrow and prepayment of the TLB in full and subject to customary conditions.

Additional information regarding the foregoing transactions may be found in a Form 6-K that will be filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

This press release is neither an offer to sell nor a solicitation of an offer to buy any securities, nor shall it constitute an offer, solicitation or sale of any securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to the registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction. There can be no assurances that the transactions will be completed as described herein or at all.

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Any express or implied statements contained in this press release that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, statements regarding our financial outlook for 2025, profitability improvement, profitable growth in 2025, long-term growth strategy, expected capital expenditures, anticipated returns on our investments, anticipated supply chain performance, anticipated impact of our improvement plans, anticipated impact of our decision to discontinue construction of certain production facilities, plans to achieve profitable growth and anticipated cost savings and efficiencies as well as statements that include the words “expect”, “intend”, “plan”, “believe”, “project”, “forecast”, “estimate”, “may”, “should”, “anticipate”, “will”, “aim”, “potential”, “continue”, “is/are likely to” and similar statements of a future or forward-looking nature. Forward-looking statements are neither promises nor guarantees, but involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected, including, without limitation: our ability to consummate the transactions discussed herein on terms favorable to us or at all, our history of losses and how we may be unable to achieve or sustain profitability, including due to elevated inflation and increased costs for transportation, energy and materials; how our future business, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected by reduced or limited availability of oats and other raw materials and ingredients, which meet our quality standards, that our limited number of suppliers are able to sell us; how a failure to obtain necessary capital when needed on acceptable terms, or at all, may force us to delay, limit, reduce or terminate our product manufacturing and development and other operations; those concerning our cash and cash equivalents maintained at financial institutions, often in balances that exceed federally insured limits; any damage or disruption at our production facilities, which manufacture the primary components of all our products; harm to our brand or reputation due to real or perceived quality, food safety, nutrition or sustainability issues with our products, which could have an adverse effect on our business, reputation, financial condition and results of operations; food safety and food-borne illness incidents or other safety concerns that have led to product recalls and how such events may in the future materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations by exposing us to lawsuits or regulatory enforcement actions, increasing our operating costs and reducing demand for our product offerings; how a failure by our suppliers of raw materials or co-manufacturers to comply with food safety, environmental or other laws and regulations, or with the specifications and requirements of our products, may disrupt our supply of products and adversely affect our business; we may not be able to compete successfully in our highly competitive markets; risks from consolidation of customers or the loss of a significant customer; a reduction in sales of our oatmilk varieties, which contribute a significant portion of our revenue, would have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations; relying heavily on our co-manufacturing partners; our strategic partnerships with co-manufacturers may not be successful, which could adversely affect our operations and manufacturing strategy; failure by our logistics providers to deliver our products on time, or at all, could result in lost sales; that we may not successfully ramp up operations at any of our facilities, or these facilities may not operate in accordance with our expectations; a failure to effectively expand our processing, manufacturing and production capacity through existing facilities, or a failure to find acceptable co-manufacturing or co-manufacturing partners to help us expand, as we continue to grow and scale our business to a steady operating level; failure to develop and maintain our brand; failure to develop or introduce new products or successfully improve existing products may adversely affect our ability to continue to grow; a failure to cost-effectively acquire new customers and consumers or retain our existing customers and consumers, or a failure to derive revenue from our existing customers consistent with our historical performance; consumer preferences for our products are difficult to predict and may change, and, if we are unable to respond quickly to new trends, our business may be adversely affected; a failure to manage our future growth effectively; impairment charges for long-lived assets and other exit costs in connection with our production facilities, and how we may need to recognize further costs in the future; sustainability risks (including environmental, climate change, uncertainty about future related mandatory disclosure requirements, and broader corporate social responsibility matters), which may materially adversely affect our business as a result of lawsuits, regulatory investigations and enforcement actions, complaints concerning our disclosures, impacts on our operations and supply chain (particularly in connection with the physical impacts of climate change), and impacts on our brand and reputation;

Washington Water Service Proposes Rate Adjustment for Investments Made in Local Systems to Help Maintain Safe and Reliable Service stocknewsapi
CWT
GIG HARBOR, Wash., Sept. 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- California Water Service Group (NYSE: CWT) subsidiary Washington Water Service (Washington Water) has filed a request with the Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission (UTC) to increase water rates to recover $14.9 million in costs it has incurred to fund the improvement and maintenance of its local water systems as well as increased expenses over the last two years.

Some of the major investments made in Washington Water’s service areas include:

Installing 1,000 feet of water main in the Minterbrook system; 700 feet of main in Sunshine Acres; 2,500 feet of main in the Ranch Acres Shores system; 2,000 feet of main in Cedar Grove; 1,000 feet of main in Evergreen Shores; and 7,000 feet of main in the Southwood system to improve reliability and fire protection, and reduce potential leaks.Installing treatment facilities to remove lead and copper in the Heritage Row system, arsenic in the Quistorff system, and iron and manganese in the Southwood system.Conducting booster pump station upgrades in the Rosario, Cedar Crest, Artondale, Southwood, Olympic Mall, and Driftwood Valley systems.Deploying Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition remote system monitoring in the Sunshine Acres, Rosario, Mirrormont, Palmer Lake, and Southwood systems.Installing a new booster pumping facility to increase reliability and capacity in the Lost Creek zone of the Southwood system. Additionally, the proposed water rate increase accounts for costs incurred due to higher operating expenses, such as cost increases in materials and equipment; depreciation expense due to the addition of newly installed facilities; and increased labor costs. It also accounts for costs incurred for testing for the presence of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in accordance with new federal regulations, and other efforts related to PFAS regulatory compliance.

“We take our responsibility to provide our Washington Water customers safe, clean, reliable water at affordable rates seriously, and the upgrades we have made over the past two years are critical to continuing to deliver on this commitment,” said Marty Kropelnicki, Chairman and CEO. “At the same time, we work diligently to control expenses and keep water service affordable in the face of increasingly stringent federal and state water quality standards and rising costs.”

If approved as filed, new rates could become effective as early as Nov. 15, 2025.

Diversified Energy Announces Proposed Move of Primary Listing to the New York Stock Exchange stocknewsapi

Diversified Energy PLC

Diversified Will Retain UK Listing on the International Secondary Listing Category

Move Expected to Enhance Trading Liquidity, Increase Visibility with Investors, and Provide Strategic Capital Markets Benefits to Accelerate Growth

BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Sept. 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Diversified Energy Company PLC (the “Company”) (LSE:DEC, NYSE:DEC) announced today that its Board of Directors, having evaluated the Company’s optimal public company listing venue, intends to move the Company’s primary listing to the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) while retaining a secondary listing on the London Stock Exchange (“LSE”).

Today, the Company is substantially a US business, reporting in US dollars, with all the Company’s operating profit derived from its US operations, which is also the sole growth market for the business. The Company’s executive management team and operational headquarters are based in the US, all of its employees reside in the US and all its assets are located in the US.

Additionally, as of June 30, 2025, over 65% of the Company’s outstanding shares were held by US resident investors. The Company will start filing customary SEC financial statements and periodic reports as a US domestic filer with its year-end 2025 financial results.

The Board has been evaluating the optimal primary listing venue for the Company in the context of its business strategy for the benefit of all its stakeholders. In December 2023, the Company undertook an additional listing of its shares on the NYSE to complement its existing LSE listing. At this time, the Board has concluded that the US market is the natural long-term primary listing venue for the Company and that moving to a US primary listing, while retaining a secondary UK listing on the ESICC Category, is in the best interests of its shareholders.

In arriving at this conclusion, the Board considered several factors and potential benefits, including:

alignment of the primary listing venue with the Company’s business activity, leadership team, and employee baseincreased overall liquidity in the Company’s shares, given access to deeper US capital marketsincreased exposure to US investors through a primary US listing, including additional access to passive investment pools of capitalexpanded Company profile and access to high-quality equity investorssimplified share ownership for the wider employee base of the Company and expanded access to the recruitment and retention of top US talentoptimized positioning of the Company for inclusion in premier US equity indices and Exchange Traded Fundsretention of a secondary listing on the LSE to facilitate trading liquidity for non-US shareholder base The proposed venue change will be implemented by way of a UK scheme of arrangement which will require a formal vote by shareholders of the Company at a general meeting (“General Meeting”) to be approved by a majority in number of the registered shareholders voting in person or by proxy, representing 75% in value of the shares voted. It is currently expected that a shareholder circular containing details of the proposals will be published and that the General Meeting will take place in the coming weeks. Subject to shareholders voting in favor of the proposals at the General Meeting, the Board expects that the scheme of arrangement will take effect during the fourth quarter of 2025, after which the shares are expected to trade on the NYSE and on the equity shares (commercial companies) category of the Official List of the FCA (the “ESICC Category”) and the Main Market of the LSE.

Further announcements will be made in due course as the process advances.

Novartis receives FDA approval for Rhapsido® (remibrutinib), the only oral, targeted BTKi treatment for chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) stocknewsapi
NVS
Ad hoc announcement pursuant to Art. 53 LR

Rhapsido helps to inhibit release of histamine and proinflammatory mediators by targeting BTK, offering unique approach to CSU treatment1Well-controlled disease observed as fast as two weeks, with demonstrated safety profile that requires no lab monitoring1   1.7 million people in US live with CSU; more than half remain symptomatic despite increasing doses of antihistamines2,3Remibrutinib also in clinical development for chronic inducible urticaria, food allergy, and hidradenitis suppurativa, expanding Novartis Immunology portfolio
Basel, September 30, 2025 – Novartis announced today that Rhapsido® (remibrutinib) received US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval as an oral treatment for adult patients with chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) who remain symptomatic despite H1 antihistamine treatment. Rhapsido is a pill taken twice daily and does not require injections or lab monitoring. It is the first FDA-approved Bruton’s tyrosine kinase inhibitor (BTKi) for CSU. Rhapsido helps to inhibit the release of histamine and other proinflammatory mediators by targeting BTK, offering a unique approach to CSU treatment.1  

“CSU is a serious disease that can cause debilitating symptoms and unpredictable flares. It’s difficult to diagnose and manage,” said Mark Lebwohl, MD, Dean for Clinical Therapeutics at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and member of the steering committee for the remibrutinib REMIX Phase III clinical trial program. “Remibrutinib represents a new way of treating CSU. By blocking the activity of BTK, remibrutinib stops a key pathway of the immune response in CSU. This is an exciting new option that has the potential to help a broad range of patients get fast relief.”

CSU is a mast cell-driven condition thought to be caused by immune dysregulation. In people with CSU, the immune system can become activated through allergic (IgE) or autoimmune (IgG) pathways.4 This causes certain immune cells—mast cells and basophils—to activate the BTK protein. While not fully understood, it is believed that once activated, BTK leads to the release of histamine and other proinflammatory mediators that may cause the red, swollen, and itchy hives commonly seen in CSU.5,6

CSU symptoms are unpredictable, recurring for six weeks or more without an identified cause.7 Diagnosis can take up to 24 months.8 Many CSU patients say their symptoms negatively impact their sleep, work, and mental health.9,10,11 Antihistamines are the first-line treatment, but over half of patients still have symptoms, even at higher doses.2 Injectable treatments exist for those who don't respond to antihistamines, yet fewer than 20% of eligible patients receive them.12

“The approval of remibrutinib is an important development in CSU care. It quickly reduces symptoms, offering patients control of the hives and itching that they experience on a daily basis,” said Giselle Mosnaim, MD, MS, an Allergist and Immunologist from Endeavor Health, Clinical Associate Professor at the University of Chicago Pritzker School of Medicine and REMIX trial investigator. “This is significant because it expands beyond existing injectable treatments and gives patients an oral option that can easily be incorporated into their daily lives.”

“Many CSU patients feel misunderstood and settle for treatments that don’t fully meet their needs,” said Lynda Mitchell, CEO of Allergy & Asthma Network. “We support new treatment options that empower patients to choose what works best for them. This convenient new oral therapy offers a promising new way to manage CSU and potentially improve daily life for those living with this challenging condition.”

Clinical data supporting approval
The FDA approval of Rhapsido in CSU is based on results from the Phase III REMIX-1 (NCT05030311) and REMIX-2 (NCT05032157) clinical trials in patients who remained symptomatic on second-generation H1 antihistamines. Rhapsido demonstrated superiority in change from baseline versus placebo in itch (ISS7), hives (HSS7), and weekly urticaria activity (UAS7) at Week 12.13 Significantly more patients treated with Rhapsido versus placebo achieved well-controlled disease (UAS7≤6) as early as Week 2 and at Week 12, and about one-third of patients achieved complete absence of itch and hives at Week 12.13 Rhapsido has a demonstrated safety profile that requires no lab monitoring.13 The most common adverse events (incidence ≥3%) were nasal congestion, sore throat, and runny nose (nasopharyngitis), bleeding, headache, nausea, and abdominal pain.13

Novartis has completed regulatory submissions for Rhapsido for the treatment of CSU across many countries, including in the European Union, Japan, and China, with priority review granted in China. 

Transforming care in Immunology
“This approval of Rhapsido as the first and only BTK inhibitor in CSU is an important milestone in our journey to reshape care for overlooked immune-related conditions and offer more patients the potential to find fast relief,” said Victor Bultó, President, US, Novartis. “Building on our legacy in advancing the treatment of allergic, dermatologic, and rheumatologic conditions, we are deeply committed to further investing in innovative, patient-focused therapies across immunology.”

Discovered and developed by Novartis to target the BTK pathway as a driver of inflammation, remibrutinib is being investigated in ongoing clinical trials across a variety of immune-related conditions, including chronic inducible urticaria (CIndU), hidradenitis suppurativa (HS), and food allergy.
