Evaxion Seeks New Partner For Gonorrhea Vaccine After Merck Opts Out

12/19/2025 12:43 PM • Merck & Co. has decided not to exercise its option for Evaxion's gonorrhea vaccine candidate EVX-B2 (protein-based version), allowing Evaxion to retain global rights and seek alternative licensing partners. The decision does not impact Evaxion's cash runway extending to mid-2027. Evaxion continues developing an mRNA version with Afrigen Biologics and previously out-licensed EVX-B3 to Merck in September for $7.5 million upfront plus up to $592 million in milestone payments.

BACpL - Maintains Buy rating and sees promising growth potential for Medtronic's medical technologies
EVAX - Merck's decision to opt out of the EVX-B2 protein-based vaccine represents a setback, requiring Evaxion to find a new partner. Stock declined 14.61% on the news. However, the company maintains cash runway and retains global rights to the candidate, providing some mitigation.

Reddit: Why Is It the New Growth Stock to Beat?

12/19/2025 12:16 PM • Reddit has emerged as a standout growth stock in 2025, returning 37% year-to-date while competitors like Meta and Pinterest underperformed. The platform's strength is driven by impressive user engagement (116 million daily active users, up 20% YOY), surging revenue ($585 million, up 67% YOY), and international expansion. With ARPU at $5.04 (up 41% YOY) still significantly below competitors, Reddit has substantial room for monetization improvement. Analysts remain optimistic with 18 of 29 assigning Buy ratings, though the stock is nearing consensus price targets.

RDDT - Strong 37% YOY return, impressive 20% user growth to 116M DAU, 67% revenue growth to $585M, 400% EPS growth, and 31% international user growth. Significant ARPU upside potential ($5.04 vs Meta's ~$15) and analyst support (18 of 29 Buy ratings) indicate strong growth trajectory.

Sony Goes All-In On Snoopy, Scoops Up Control Of Peanuts Empire

12/19/2025 12:10 PM • Sony Group has announced plans to acquire WildBrain's 41% stake in Peanuts Holdings for C$630 million ($457.40 million), increasing Sony's ownership to approximately 80% while the Schulz family retains 20%. The deal, subject to regulatory approval, positions Sony to leverage its global network to expand the iconic Peanuts franchise. Sony shares declined 1.43% following the announcement.

SONY - While the acquisition represents a strategic expansion of Sony's Peanuts portfolio and demonstrates confidence in the franchise's long-term value, the stock declined 1.43% on the announcement. The market's negative reaction suggests investors may view the C$630 million investment as costly or have concerns about execution, offsetting the positive strategic rationale.

Up 50% in 2025, Should You Buy ASML Stock Right Now?

12/19/2025 12:01 PM • ASML, the world's only producer of extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography systems, has surged 50% in 2025 and reached record highs. While the company benefits from AI and cloud market expansion, it faces headwinds from Chinese export restrictions and slowing 2026 growth projections. Despite a premium valuation of 34x forward earnings, analysts view it as a worthwhile long-term investment due to its monopolistic position and significant pricing power in the semiconductor equipment market.

BACpB - Maintains Buy rating and sees promising growth potential for Medtronic's medical technologies
ASML - ASML maintains a monopoly on crucial EUV lithography technology, benefits from AI and cloud market growth, and has strong pricing power. Despite near-term headwinds from China restrictions and slowing 2026 growth, the company is positioned well for long-term semiconductor market expansion with revenue expected to reach €44-60 billion by 2030.
