Kymera weakness a buying opportunity, says Stifel
Stifel analyst Alex Thompson is reiterating a Buy rating on Kymera Therapeutics (KYMR) following 'a slate of updates,' including the decision by partner Sanofi (SNY) to discontinue development of lead IRAK4 degrader KT-474 in favor of next-gen KT-485 and a new partnership deal with Gilead (GILD) for a CDK2 molecular glue degrader. While the update related to IRAK4 is 'disappointing and removes potential catalysts' next year, Sanofi expects to move KT-485 into Phase 1 next year and the broader partnership remains in place, notes the analyst. On the Gilead deal, Kymera will receive up to $85M in upfront and options, adds the analyst, who would view any weakness from today's news as a buying opportunity as the firm contends there remains limited credit in the stock for the broader pipeline and additional milestone payments. Stifel has a Buy rating on Kymera shares, which are down $1.18, or 2.5%, to $45.96 in morning trading.

How I Travel: Mike Lisanti
Mike Lisanti spends his time traversing the world in search of the next the global music icon. As the founder of MLennial, a Los Angeles-based artist management company, Lisanti has made a name for himself cultivating the big names across dance and bass music, among them such artists as Crankdat, BARELY ALIVE, Kompany, SABAI and MUZZ. So it's of little wonder that the entrepreneur has his travel preferences dialed in - from his go-to in-flight uniform to his preferences upon check-in. Check them out, below. Mike Lisanti Mike Lisanti Mike Lisanti's Travel Intel My go-to airline is: Delta. My favorite seat on the flight is: window. My go-to in-flight beverage is: Coke Zero. My favorite airport/terminal is: Istanbul (IST). The second I get on a plane, I: Put my neck pillow on and plug in my Steam Deck. My go-to travel uniform is: Grey sweatpants from Represent, a MLennial Hoodie, Black North Face beanie, Daniel Patrick thermal oversized tee, Rolex Datejust, Nike Airforce 1's or Clark's Wallabees. My carry-on consists of: Tumi Alpha 2 backpack and Tumi Alpha 3 carry-on suitcase. The pieces I take everywhere are: Daniel Patrick T shirts, Daniel Patrick 7 pocket Cargo Pants, MLennial hoodie, Prada sunglasses, my everyday Rolex, my custom white gold and diamond necklaces from JK jewelers. My flying soundtrack is: Hot Since 82 Radio on Spotify. My favorite thing about flying is: I'm good at sleeping on planes. The worst part about flying is: sitting next to someone to that stinks. My one flying hack is: If you're a business owner using Delta, make sure you have Skybonus for Business set up to gather status for flights you book for employees including yourself. The second I land, I: call people I needed to call while only on WiFi in the air. As soon as I check into my hotel room, I: go to the gym. My favorite hotel in the world is: The St. Regis in Dubai. My favorite city in the world is: Rome. A concierge will know that I prefer: private drivers if I'm overseas trying to site-see. I conquer jetlag by: not sleeping. My biggest piece of travel advice is: if someone is giving you unwanted attention while you are out and alone, jump on FaceTime video with someone and just figure out things to talk about so you're not totally alone. I did this at a restaurant in Tunis, Tunisia and it saved me since I had to walk back up Sidi Bou Said alone after dinner.

Anyone Can Sell You SpaceX Stock
A lot of private companies restrict sales of their stock. If you are an employee or an early investor at Stripe or SpaceX or OpenAI or another hot startup, you might own stock that you want to sell. But many hot startups won't let you sell, or will require that you ask for permission or give them a right of first refusal. Perhaps the company will provide some liquidity — it will arrange occasional tender offers to help employees cash out their shares — but there's no guarantee, and you might have to wait until the company goes public to sell your stock. Meanwhile, a lot of people are clamoring to buy shares of hot private companies. Owning SpaceX or OpenAI stock is cool, and many individuals want to buy some, but they have a hard time finding any. There are insiders who want to sell, and outsiders who want to buy, but they can't trade with each other and the market doesn't clear. Annoying. 1

Comcast is simplifying its Xfinity internet plans and dropping data caps
Comcast is changing its Xfinity plans nationwide to make them simpler – and it's dropping data caps so that the plans have truly unlimited data. The company announced today that it will now offer four plans – 300 Mbps, 500 Mbps, 1 Gbps, and 2 Gbps – across three different pricing tiers: an 'Everyday Price' paid per month without a price guarantee, a lower price-per-month with a one-year price guarantee, and a price-per-month with a five-year price guarantee that's slightly more expensive than the one-year option. The plans will include unlimited data with no data caps, spokesperson Joel Shadle confirms to The Verge. They'll also come with an Xfinity WiFi Gateway and a free line of Xfinity Mobile cellular service for one year. If you're currently on an Xfinity plan that's not one of the four tiers, you can stay on it until you repackage your plan, spokesperson Rachel Zabinski Williams says. These updates follow Comcast's announcement of the five-year price lock option in April. Comcast also recently started rolling out 'ultra-low lag' technology in certain cities that could lower latency when using things like FaceTime or Nvidia's GeForce now. (Disclosure: Comcast is an investor in Vox Media, The Verge's parent company.)
