NEW YORK, July 14, 2026, 04:31 (EDT) Agenus Inc. (NASDAQ:AGEN) shares closed 82.7% higher at $6.12 on Monday after the cancer-drug developer unveiled financing of up to $340 million for a pivotal colon-cancer study. The stock reached $8.70 and roughly 174 million shares changed hands. The regular U.S. session had not opened at the dateline; Nasdaq was scheduled to trade normally on Tuesday. (Agenus Inc.) The rally has a catch. Only $85 million is due at closing; the remaining $255 million — three-quarters of the headline amount — arrives only if investors exercise warrants. A warrant gives an investor the right,

Sydney, July 14, 2026, 09:29 AEST CSL Limited (ASX:CSL) entered Tuesday’s ASX pre-open after falling 1.26% to A$121.34 on Monday, while the S&P/ASX 200 edged 0.03% higher. Turnover reached 1.50 million shares, 34% above the average of the previous five sessions. The exchange remained in pre-open at publication, with continuous trading due to begin around 10 a.m. Sydney time. (Yahoo Finance) The selling arrived after a steep recovery, not at the bottom. CSL has risen 34.8% from its A$90 intraday low; based on the current share count, that move restored roughly A$15 billion of implied equity value and lifted its market

SAN FRANCISCO, July 13, 2026, 15:06 (PDT) Salesforce Inc. (NYSE:CRM) rose 4.8% to end Monday at $171.22, topping the S&P 500’s 0.8% drop. Investors moved back into the stock as debate about whether acquisitions can push Salesforce’s AI strategy picked up. The bounce came after a positive view of its $3.6 billion deal for Fin, which landed just a few days after KeyBanc cut the stock on worries about Agentforce. (MarketWatch) The valuation looks trickier than the headline multiple shows. Salesforce’s $149.1 billion equity price is about 10.4 times projected fiscal 2026 free cash flow, which measures cash left after capital

NEW YORK, July 13, 2026, 18:08 EDT GE Vernova (NYSE:GEV) shares fell 4.49% to $1,042.60 on Monday, closing below their 20-day moving average on the same day Zacks highlighted a move above that closely watched technical level. The reversal weakened the most visible short-term bullish signal surrounding a company whose turbine order book has been described as “sold out through 2030,” with GEV’s decline far exceeding the S&P 500’s 0.79% fall. (MarketWatch) That matters because turbine scarcity is no longer new information for investors. The question ahead of second-quarter results is whether GE Vernova can turn reserved factory slots into firm

NEW YORK, July 13, 2026, 17:13 (EDT) Palantir Technologies (NASDAQ:PLTR) said after Monday’s U.S. market close that it will report second-quarter results on Aug. 3, also after the close, putting a firm date on the next test of its premium artificial-intelligence valuation. The shares finished 2.6% higher at $130.04 while the Nasdaq Composite fell 1.55%, an outperformance of about 4.1 percentage points. (Business Wire) The timing matters because Sunday’s case for a $400 billion market value is less a distant destination than a near-term stress test. One market-data feed valued Palantir at $334.3 billion, only 19.6% below that threshold. The Motley

New York, July 13, 2026, 17:09 (EDT) Shares of NIO Inc. (NYSE:NIO), traded in New York as American depositary receipts—U.S.-listed certificates representing foreign shares—closed 3.1% higher at $4.93 on Monday after Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (NYSE:GS) upgraded the Chinese electric-vehicle maker to Buy with a $7 target. The headline is the rating change; the bigger investor bet sits in Goldman’s cash-flow forecast. (Barron’s) For investors, this matters now because Goldman’s thesis shifts the debate from delivery growth to whether that growth can fund itself. Analyst Tina Hou called for a “strong profit/FCF turnaround” in 2026, forecasting free cash flow—cash left after

New York, July 13, 2026, 16:10 (EDT) Rocket Lab Corporation (NASDAQ:RKLB) fell about 5.4% to $76.65 in late trading on Monday, leaving it an 11.9% drop away from a price floor that could reduce what Iridium Communications Inc. (NASDAQ:IRDM) investors receive in the planned takeover. Iridium was down 2.9% at $48.62. The issue is a merger “collar,” a band that limits how far the share count can adjust. Between $67.50 and $112.50, Iridium holders get $27 in cash plus enough Rocket Lab stock to keep the stock leg near $27; at or below $67.50, the exchange ratio freezes at 0.4000 and

NEW YORK, July 13, 2026, 15:06 EDT Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD) dropped 3.7% in late trading Monday, despite TD Cowen’s Joshua Buchalter hiking his price target to $675 from $600. The new target, which is about 25.7% above the stock’s current $537 level, puts AMD’s estimated equity value near $1.10 trillion if you use the company’s 1.6306 billion shares outstanding. That’s about $225 billion higher than today’s value by the same measure. (TheStreet Pro) The split is key here since the average analyst target sits at $522.65, which is 2.7% below current levels. Buchalter said semiconductor fundamentals are still solid and

NEW YORK, July 13, 2026, 15:10 EDT Sandisk (NASDAQ:SNDK) shares sank 13% to about $1,669 on Monday afternoon. That was the move even after Evercore ISI’s Amit Daryanani doubled his price target to $3,100 from $1,400. Daryanani said investors were “underappreciating the durability” of Sandisk’s earnings and free cash flow, cash left after capital spending, in the next few years. (Barron’s) That timing data cuts into the bullish case. Sandisk’s April 3 filing listed $41.6 billion in remaining performance obligations, or RPO—contracted revenue still to be booked. Only about 15% of that, $6.24 billion, was due to show up as revenue

New York, July 13, 2026, 15:12 (EDT) Super Micro Computer (NASDAQ:SMCI) shares fell 3.2% to $27.41 in afternoon trading on Monday, below the $27.50 price set for its June common-stock offering. At 13.2 times trailing earnings, the stock looks inexpensive. Yet the base preferred conversion and a fully used $1.25 billion stock-sale program could add 24.6% to 28.1% to an illustrative pro forma basic share count, based on the offering terms and Monday’s price. (Supermicro) Dell Technologies (NYSE:DELL) and Hewlett Packard Enterprise (NYSE:HPE) were down 3.1% and 3.5%, respectively, making Monday’s drop less useful as a company-specific signal. The valuation and

NEW YORK, July 13, 2026, 15:07 (EDT) Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse said the firm thought about closing and giving its XRP reserves back to shareholders after the SEC lawsuit in 2020. If Ripple had picked that plan, it would have handed shareholders token reserves now valued at almost $40 billion. (CoinDesk) This matters now since the stockpile is close to the $40 billion valuation from an outside round in November. That’s about 80% of the $50 billion valuation Ripple tied to its March buyback program. The company said it held 37.656 billion XRP as of June 30. XRP traded at $1.059

Cupertino, California, July 13, 2026, 01:29 (PDT) Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) may have to bump up the average price of its next Pro Max phone by around $200 to cover higher costs, and even then could see a slightly lower gross margin compared to last year’s model, a Counterpoint Research estimate shows. The research firm is projecting the bill of materials for the 12GB, 1TB iPhone 18 Pro Max will go up by almost $300, before assembly, shipping or marketing. (카운터포인트) The iPhone brought in $56.99 billion last quarter, good for 51.3% of Apple’s $111.18 billion in net sales for the period

New York, July 14, 2026, 19:02 (EDT) Tower Semiconductor closed up 11.24% at $255.49 on Tuesday after it said it will expand its capacity in Japan, backed by $1 billion in government support. Tower is now aiming for $1.2 billion in net profit in 2028, up from its previous goal of $750 million—a boost of 60%. While the shares jumped, that new target is still more than five times the stock’s move, making the shares look cheaper by this measure. (Tower Semiconductor) Chip stocks rebounded, but fell short of a full recovery. The PHLX Semiconductor Index rose 314.15 points, or 2.54%,

NEW YORK, July 14, 2026, 19:08 (EDT) Space Exploration Technologies Corp. (NASDAQ:SPCX) dropped 2.2% to $136.08 late Tuesday, wiping out around $39.5 billion in equity value based on its reported base-offering share count. MDA Space Ltd. (NYSE:MDA), Rocket Lab USA Inc. (NASDAQ:RKLB) and AST SpaceMobile Inc. (NASDAQ:ASTS) all posted price gains, together adding about $2.0 billion on a similar price-move calculation. SpaceX’s equity drop finished at 19.6 times those combined gains. (SEC) The size gap is key here. SpaceX dropped 2.2%, which was enough to outweigh a 4.1% average gain for the other three, smaller stocks. Investors watching percentages could miss

NEW YORK, July 14, 2026, 18:07 EDT Arbe finished at $0.874, gaining 27.02%. Volume hit 10.73 million shares, close to 4.5 times its average. (MarketWatch) The surge tacked on about $22.8 million in equity value, which is over four times Arbe’s 2026 revenue guidance midpoint. (PR Newswire) Arbe has signed a defense deal for three projects, with some orders already in and deliveries started, but didn’t say who the customer is or give a contract amount. (Arbe Robotics Ltd.) Arbe Robotics Ltd. (NASDAQ:ARBE) popped 27.0% Tuesday after saying a global defense integrator picked its radar for three projects. That move added

NEW YORK, July 14, 2026, 18:08 EDT IREN Limited (NASDAQ:IREN) closed 1.0% lower at $38.59 on Tuesday even as NVIDIA Corp (NASDAQ:NVDA) gained 4.1%, bitcoin was up 4.0% and the Nasdaq Composite added 0.9%. IREN has fallen 10.3% from its July 8 close. The split suggests investors are looking past its AI-and-crypto exposure and pricing the harder part: funding and delivery. (The Wall Street Journal) IREN had posted no fresh business release since July 8 and no SEC filing since July 9 by Tuesday evening. Trading volume was 35.1 million shares, about 24% below its 65-day average. This was a quiet

NEW YORK, July 14, 2026, 15:05 EDT Dell Technologies Inc. (NYSE:DELL) climbed 5.8% on Tuesday, adding about $16.2 billion in market value, after preliminary results from International Business Machines Corp. (NYSE:IBM) showed large customers shifting late-June spending toward servers, storage and memory. The move gives Dell investors a fresh demand signal from outside the company. (SEC) IBM said clients redirected quarterly capital spending to supply-constrained infrastructure before expected price increases, while several large deals slipped. Chief Executive Arvind Krishna said IBM “did not adapt and move quickly enough”; preliminary infrastructure revenue fell 7%. That is a direct read-through — evidence from

NEW YORK, July 14, 2026, 15:10 (EDT) AtaiBeckley Inc. (NASDAQ:ATAI) shares climbed 15.6% to about $5.75 in Tuesday afternoon trading as investors weighed final U.S. Food and Drug Administration guidance for psychedelic-drug trials. The document expects two monitors to remain with a patient throughout a treatment session, making BPL-003’s roughly two-hour clinic model more relevant to operating costs. Duration is now a cost variable. (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) The gain was much larger than those of the closest listed developers. Compass Pathways plc (NASDAQ:CMPS) rose 1.9%, Definium Therapeutics Inc. (NASDAQ:DFTX) added 5.2%, and the SPDR S&P Biotech ETF (NYSEARCA:XBI) was

NEW YORK, July 14, 2026, 14:08 EDT Nebius shares dropped 6.7% in afternoon trading on delayed data, putting their slide over the past two sessions at roughly 10.6%. (MarketBeat) Reflection AI placed an order topping $1 billion through 2029. That works out to about $290 million a year if spread evenly, or close to 9% of Nebius’s projected 2026 revenue at the midpoint of its guidance. (Reuters) Capital spending in the first quarter came to around 6.3x revenue. A $3.20 billion bump in deferred revenue gave a lift to operating cash flow, which ended positive.

NEW YORK, July 14, 2026, 14:08 EDT Microsoft was around $387, putting its value at $2.88 trillion, about 23 times trailing earnings. That’s nearly 19% under the average multiple for Amazon and Alphabet. Capex for the fourth quarter will top $40 billion, or about 45.8% of revenue based on the midpoint of Microsoft’s outlook. This compares with 38.5% in the March quarter. (Microsoft) Just around 25% of Microsoft’s $627 billion backlog is projected to turn into revenue in the coming year.

New York, July 14, 2026, 13:13 (EDT) KeyBanc lifted its AMD price target to $725, up from $530, which points to a roughly $1.20 trillion market cap based on the current share count. (Barron’s) The firm is calling for AMD’s AI-GPU revenue to jump 189% to $48.5 billion in 2027, up from $16.8 billion this year. (Barron’s) Q2 revenue consensus sits roughly 1% over AMD’s guidance midpoint, so investors may focus more on the company’s outlook when it reports on August 4. (TheStreet Pro) Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMD) shares jumped 3.9% Tuesday after KeyBanc Capital Markets hiked its price target
