Jim Cramer on Aeva Technologies (AEVA): Its Recent 'Airbus Contract That's Really Good'
We recently published a list of . In this article, we are going to take a look at where Aeva Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ:AEVA) stands against other stocks that Jim Cramer discussed recently.
On Monday, Mad Money host Jim Cramer addressed the market's reaction to the recent U.S. debt downgrade by Moody's.
'Stories like the US debt downgrade story from Friday, they are classic… Stories that scare people out of very fine stocks that could otherwise make them rich. And sure enough, when Moody's downgraded the debt of the United States on Friday, the last of the three big rating agencies to do so, the market opened hideously as the get out now crowd took action. They fled. Then the market rebounded.'

Cramer warned that such panic is not a one-off. He mentioned that there will be many other 'get out now' calls issued ahead. He said that the warnings often come from sources who either do not fully grasp the situation or are motivated by less transparent reasons. In his view, some are simply uninformed, while others may be experienced short sellers using fear as a tactic to move markets in their favor.
Even if the issues these fear-driven stories point to do materialize, Cramer believes they are manageable. He called out the overuse of the term 'stagflation,' often wielded by bearish commentators to provoke anxiety. He acknowledged how difficult it can be to resist the persuasive nature of such arguments. Still, he encouraged investors to stay the course as he added, 'You'll have to stick with me and we'll sit through this.'
'Let me give you the bottom line: The crucial thing that we in the media can do, and I say this as someone who talks to more individual veterans than almost anyone in the universe, and certainly more than anyone in the media, is simply cool it with the fear mongering and cut off guests who advocate it. A little history and some constructive thought would go a lot further if your goal is not to inflame, but to inform.'
For this article, we compiled a list of 15 stocks that were discussed by Jim Cramer during the episode of Mad Money aired on May 19. We listed the stocks in ascending order of their hedge fund sentiment as of the fourth quarter of 2024, which was taken from Insider Monkey's database of over 1,000 hedge funds.
Why are we interested in the stocks that hedge funds pile into? The reason is simple: our research has shown that we can outperform the market by imitating the top stock picks of the best hedge funds. Our quarterly newsletter's strategy selects 14 small-cap and large-cap stocks every quarter and has returned 373.4% since May 2014, beating its benchmark by 218 percentage points ().

Noting the stock's sudden decline, a caller asked about Aeva Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ:AEVA). Here's what Cramer had to say:
'Yeah, they got an Airbus contract that's really good. And I gotta tell you, I think that what's happened there is people got it. You had to be in it beforehand. Now you're too late. I have to move on. We'll find the next one.'
Aeva (NASDAQ:AEVA) develops advanced LiDAR sensing systems and software using frequency modulated continuous wave technology (FMCW), offering high-performance 4D LiDAR solutions for automotive, industrial, consumer, and security applications.

Personalis' NeXT Personal® Predicts Cervical Cancer Recurrence Risk in New CALLA Phase 3 Study Analysis Presented at ASCO
FREMONT, Calif., June 03, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Personalis, Inc. (Nasdaq: PSNL), a leader in advanced genomics for precision oncology, announced the presentation of new results from the CALLA phase 3 study showing for the first time its ultrasensitive NeXT Personal circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) blood test detected cervical cancer progression, up to 16 months ahead of imaging. The results demonstrate the potential of NeXT Personal to enable earlier detection in a cancer with high recurrence rates. The results were presented yesterday by Jyoti Mayadev, MD, from the University of California San Diego, at the American Society for Clinical Oncology (ASCO) 2025 Annual Meeting in Chicago in an oral presentation titled "Ultrasensitive detection and tracking of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) and association with relapse and survival in locally advanced cervical cancer (LACC): Phase 3 CALLA trial analyses." The results from this study were also simultaneously published in the journal Annals of Oncology. Samples were analyzed from patients with cervical cancer who had enrolled in the original CALLA clinical trial. In this new study analysis, NeXT Personal was used to look for small traces of ctDNA in blood samples from a cohort of 186 patients with locally advanced cervical cancer. Dr. Mayadev's team found that overall ctDNA levels after chemoradiotherapy (CRT) treatment were strongly predictive of risk of cervical cancer progression. "Despite standard chemoradiotherapy, up to half of patients with locally advanced cervical cancer relapse, underscoring the urgent need for better prognostic tools. In the CALLA phase 3 study, ultrasensitive, tumor-informed ctDNA analysis emerged as a powerful predictor of progression and survival—detecting relapse up to ~16 months before imaging. These findings highlight ctDNA's potential to guide treatment decisions and personalize care in high-risk cervical cancer," said Dr. Mayadev. Key findings presented: Detection of ctDNA following CRT was independently prognostic of patient outcomes. Risk of progression and death were at least 95% lower for patients where ctDNA was not detected ~3 months after completing CRT. Detection of ctDNA after CRT was associated with high subsequent risk of disease progression, and was detected a median of ~5 months and up to ~16 months earlier than by imaging scans. High ctDNA levels (≥ median) at baseline was associated with higher risk of progression and death. "We are excited to see the results presented for NeXT Personal in this large phase 3 study in cervical cancer," said Richard Chen, MD, Chief Medical Officer and Executive Vice President, R&D at Personalis. "Cervical cancer is the fourth most common cancer for women globally, resulting in hundreds of thousands of deaths each year. The new results show the strong potential for an ultrasensitive MRD test like NeXT Personal to inform treatment for cervical cancer patients." About Personalis, Inc.

Travere Therapeutics to Present New FILSPARI® (sparsentan) Data at the 62nd ERA Congress
Data from SPARTACUS and PROTECT OLE to show significant proteinuria reduction when replacing RASi with FILSPARI and when FILSPARI is used in combination with SGLT2i New mechanistic data to show FILSPARI protects against IgA deposition in the kidney SAN DIEGO, June 03, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Travere Therapeutics, Inc., (Nasdaq: TVTX) today announced that the Company will present seven abstracts at the upcoming European Renal Association (ERA) Congress in Vienna, Austria, June 4-7. Presentations will include new data on the use of FILSPARI in IgA nephropathy (IgAN) from the Phase 2 SPARTACUS Study which demonstrated that FILSPARI provided clinically meaningful benefits in adults with IgAN who replaced their renin-angiotensin system inhibitor (RASi) with FILSPARI while receiving stable sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitor (SGLT2i) therapy. A presentation on results from the open label extension (OLE) of the Phase 3 PROTECT Study will show that patients previously treated with maximum labeled irbesartan experienced significant proteinuria reduction after switching to FILSPARI in the study. In a preclinical model of IgAN, FILSPARI protected from mesangial deposition of IgA, suggesting a potential role of endothelin-1 and angiotensin II as modulators of disease activity in IgAN. Data from the gddY mouse model of IgAN will offer new insight into the pathogenesis of IgAN as a tissue-specific autoimmune disease. In focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS), the Company will share a data analysis from the Phase 3 DUPLEX Study showing that partial and complete proteinuria remission were achieved earlier and more frequently with FILSPARI than irbesartan. The Company will also present preclinical data in an animal model of immune-mediated FSGS showing that optimized dual endothelin and angiotensin blockade with FILSPARI helps protect the integrity of the glomerular filtration barrier, reducing glomerular permeability and lowering albuminuria. "The breadth of data we're presenting underscores our confidence in the role FILSPARI can serve as foundational therapy for rare kidney diseases," said Jula Inrig, M.D., chief medical officer of Travere Therapeutics. "These findings provide further evidence that FILSPARI can decrease the risk of IgAN disease progression. We are deeply committed to advancing research and delivering innovative therapies that can make a meaningful difference for people living with IgAN and FSGS."

The deposits of IgA cause a breakdown of the normal filtering mechanisms in the kidney, leading to blood in the urine (hematuria), protein in the urine (proteinuria) and a progressive loss of kidney function. Other symptoms of IgAN may include swelling (edema) and high blood pressure. IgAN is the most common type of primary glomerulonephritis worldwide and a leading cause of kidney failure due to glomerular disease. IgAN is estimated to affect up to 150,000 people in the U.S. and is one of the most common glomerular diseases in Europe and Japan. About Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) is a rare proteinuric kidney disorder in both children and adults that is estimated to affect more than 40,000 patients in the U.S. with similar prevalence in Europe. The disorder is defined by progressive scarring of the kidney and often leads to kidney failure. FSGS is characterized by proteinuria, where protein leaks into the urine due to a breakdown of the normal filtration mechanism in the kidney. Once in the urine, protein is considered to be toxic to other parts of the kidney, especially the tubules, and is believed to contribute to further disease progression. Other common symptoms include swelling in parts of the body, known as edema, as well as low blood albumin levels, abnormal lipid profiles and hypertension. Sparsentan is not approved for use in FSGS. There is currently no approved pharmacologic indicated for the treatment of FSGS. About Travere Therapeutics At Travere Therapeutics, we are in rare for life. We are a biopharmaceutical company that comes together every day to help patients, families and caregivers of all backgrounds as they navigate life with a rare disease. On this path, we know the need for treatment options is urgent – that is why our global team works with the rare disease community to identify, develop and deliver life-changing therapies. In pursuit of this mission, we continuously seek to understand the diverse perspectives of rare patients and to courageously forge new paths to make a difference in their lives and provide hope – today and tomorrow. For more information, visit FILSPARI® (sparsentan) U.S. Indication FILSPARI (sparsentan) is indicated to slow kidney function decline in adults with primary immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN) who are at risk for disease progression. IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION BOXED WARNING: HEPATOTOXICITY AND EMBRYO-FETAL TOXICITY Because of the risks of hepatotoxicity and birth defects, FILSPARI is available only through a restricted program called the FILSPARI REMS. Under the FILSPARI REMS, prescribers, patients and pharmacies must enroll in the program. Hepatotoxicity Some Endothelin Receptor Antagonists (ERAs) have caused elevations of aminotransferases, hepatotoxicity, and liver failure. In clinical studies, elevations in aminotransferases (ALT or AST) of at least 3-times the Upper Limit of Normal (ULN) have been observed in up to 3.5% of FILSPARI-treated patients, including cases confirmed with rechallenge. Measure transaminases and bilirubin before initiating treatment and monthly for the first 12 months, and then every 3 months during treatment. Interrupt treatment and closely monitor patients who develop aminotransferase elevations more than 3x ULN. FILSPARI should generally be avoided in patients with elevated aminotransferases (>3x ULN) at baseline because monitoring for hepatotoxicity may be more difficult and these patients may be at increased risk for serious hepatotoxicity. Embryo-Fetal Toxicity FILSPARI can cause major birth defects if used by pregnant patients based on animal data. Therefore, pregnancy testing is required before the initiation of treatment, during treatment and one month after discontinuation of treatment with FILSPARI. Patients who can become pregnant must use effective contraception before the initiation of treatment, during treatment, and for one month after discontinuation of treatment with FILSPARI. Contraindications FILSPARI is contraindicated in patients who are pregnant. Do not coadminister FILSPARI with angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs), ERAs, or aliskiren. Warnings and Precautions Hepatotoxicity: Elevations in ALT or AST of at least 3-fold ULN have been observed in up to 3.5% of FILSPARI-treated patients, including cases confirmed with rechallenge. While no concurrent elevations in bilirubin >2-times ULN or cases of liver failure were observed in FILSPARI-treated patients, some ERAs have caused elevations of aminotransferases, hepatotoxicity, and liver failure. To reduce the risk of potential serious hepatotoxicity, measure serum aminotransferase levels and total bilirubin prior to initiation of treatment and monthly for the first 12 months, then every 3 months during treatment. Advise patients with symptoms suggesting hepatotoxicity (nausea, vomiting, right upper quadrant pain, fatigue, anorexia, jaundice, dark urine, fever, or itching) to immediately stop treatment with FILSPARI and seek medical attention. If aminotransferase levels are abnormal at any time during treatment, interrupt FILSPARI and monitor as recommended. Consider re-initiation of FILSPARI only when hepatic enzyme levels and bilirubin return to pretreatment values and only in patients who have not experienced clinical symptoms of hepatotoxicity. Avoid initiation of FILSPARI in patients with elevated aminotransferases (>3x ULN) prior to drug initiation because monitoring hepatotoxicity in these patients may be more difficult and these patients may be at increased risk for serious hepatotoxicity. Embryo-Fetal Toxicity: FILSPARI can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant patient and is contraindicated during pregnancy. Advise patients who can become pregnant of the potential risk to a fetus. Obtain a pregnancy test prior to initiation of treatment with FILSPARI, monthly during treatment, and one month after discontinuation of treatment. Advise patients who can become pregnant to use effective contraception prior to initiation of treatment, during treatment, and for one month after discontinuation of treatment with FILSPARI. FILSPARI REMS: Due to the risk of hepatotoxicity and embryo-fetal toxicity, FILSPARI is available only through a restricted program called the FILSPARI REMS. Prescribers, patients, and pharmacies must be enrolled in the REMS program and comply with all requirements ( Hypotension: Hypotension has been observed in patients treated with ARBs and ERAs. There was a greater incidence of hypotension-associated adverse events, some serious, including dizziness, in patients treated with FILSPARI compared to irbesartan. In patients at risk for hypotension, consider eliminating or adjusting other antihypertensive medications and maintaining appropriate volume status. If hypotension develops, despite elimination or reduction of other antihypertensive medications, consider a dose reduction or dose interruption of FILSPARI. A transient hypotensive response is not a contraindication to further dosing of FILSPARI, which can be given once blood pressure has stabilized. Acute Kidney Injury: Monitor kidney function periodically. Drugs that inhibit the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) can cause kidney injury. Patients whose kidney function may depend in part on the activity of the RAS (e.g., patients with renal artery stenosis, chronic kidney disease, severe congestive heart failure, or volume depletion) may be at particular risk of developing acute kidney injury on FILSPARI. Consider withholding or discontinuing therapy in patients who develop a clinically significant decrease in kidney function while on FILSPARI. Hyperkalemia: Monitor serum potassium periodically and treat appropriately. Patients with advanced kidney disease, taking concomitant potassium-increasing drugs (e.g., potassium supplements, potassium-sparing diuretics), or using potassium-containing salt substitutes are at increased risk for developing hyperkalemia. Dosage reduction or discontinuation of FILSPARI may be required. Fluid Retention: Fluid retention may occur with ERAs, and has been observed in clinical studies with FILSPARI. FILSPARI has not been evaluated in patients with heart failure. If clinically significant fluid retention develops, evaluate the patient to determine the cause and the potential need to initiate or modify the dose of diuretic treatment then consider modifying the dose of FILSPARI. Most common adverse reactions The most common adverse reactions (≥5%) are hyperkalemia, hypotension (including orthostatic hypotension), peripheral edema, dizziness, anemia, and acute kidney injury. Drug interactions Renin-Angiotensin System (RAS) Inhibitors and ERAs: Do not coadminister FILSPARI with ARBs, ERAs, or aliskiren due to increased risks of hypotension, syncope, hyperkalemia, and changes in renal function (including acute renal failure). Strong and Moderate CYP3A Inhibitors: Avoid concomitant use of FILSPARI with strong CYP3A inhibitors. If a strong CYP3A inhibitor cannot be avoided, interrupt FILSPARI treatment. When resuming treatment with FILSPARI, consider dose titration. Monitor blood pressure, serum potassium, edema, and kidney function regularly when used concomitantly with moderate CYP3A inhibitors. Concomitant use with a strong CYP3A inhibitor increases sparsentan exposure which may increase the risk of FILSPARI adverse reactions. Strong CYP3A Inducers: Avoid concomitant use with a strong CYP3A inducer. Concomitant use with a strong CYP3A inducer decreases sparsentan exposure which may reduce FILSPARI efficacy. Antacids and Acid Reducing Agents: Administer FILSPARI 2 hours before or after administration of antacids. Avoid concomitant use of acid reducing agents (histamine H2 receptor antagonist and PPI proton pump inhibitor) with FILSPARI. Sparsentan exhibits pH-dependent solubility. Antacids or acid reducing agents may decrease sparsentan exposure which may reduce FILSPARI efficacy. Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Agents (NSAIDs), Including Selective Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) Inhibitors: Monitor for signs of worsening renal function with concomitant use with NSAIDs (including selective COX-2 inhibitors). In patients with volume depletion (including those on diuretic therapy) or with impaired kidney function, concomitant use of NSAIDs (including selective COX-2 inhibitors) with drugs that antagonize the angiotensin II receptor may result in deterioration of kidney function, including possible kidney failure. CYP2B6, 2C9, and 2C19 Substrates: Monitor for efficacy of concurrently administered CYP2B6, 2C9, and 2C19 substrates and consider dosage adjustment in accordance with the Prescribing Information. Sparsentan decreases exposure of these substrates, which may reduce efficacy related to these substrates. P-gp and BCRP Substrates: Avoid concomitant use of sensitive substrates of P-gp and BCRP with FILSPARI. Sparsentan may increase exposure of these transporter substrates, which may increase the risk of adverse reactions related to these substrates. Agents Increasing Serum Potassium: Monitor serum potassium frequently in patients treated with FILSPARI and other agents that increase serum potassium. Concomitant use of FILSPARI with potassium-sparing diuretics, potassium supplements, potassium-containing salt substitutes, or other drugs that raise serum potassium levels may result in hyperkalemia. Please see the full Prescribing Information, including BOXED WARNING, for additional Important Safety Information.

Why Guardant Health Stock Surged Nearly 9% Higher Today
The company's Shield multi-cancer detection test won an important designation from a top regulator. This should help bring it to market quicker. 10 stocks we like better than Guardant Health › Precision oncology specialist Guardant Health (NASDAQ: GH) was something of a stock market star on Tuesday. On the back of very positive news in the regulatory sphere, the company's shares jumped almost 9% higher today. This made it quite the outperformer on the exchange, as the bellwether S&P 500 index's gain was a relatively modest 0.6%. This morning before market open, Guardant announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) had granted the healthcare company's Shield multi-cancer detection (MCD) test its Breakthrough Device designation. This instantly confers a high status on Shield, as the FDA's designation is given only to a small clutch of medical devices that can either diagnose or treat a disease more effectively than other products. In Shield's case, it is quite a versatile diagnostic device that can screen for a wide range of cancers, including colorectal, lung, and ovarian. It is designed to evaluate people 45 years of age or older who are at a typical average risk for cancer. According to Guardant, Shield has 98.6% specificity and 75% sensitivity in detecting certain cancers. In its news release touting the FDA's move, Guardant quoted its co-CEO AmirAli Talasaz as saying that it "shows the promise of the Shield MCD test to detect multiple cancers at an early stage with just a single, routine blood draw." "We look forward to partnering with the agency and other stakeholders to bring this breakthrough to patients quickly," he added. Another big plus of the Breakthrough Device designation is that it's part of an FDA initiative aimed at getting useful medical products to market faster. Talasaz and his team at Guardant might just get their wish with Shield before long.
