This software stock can gain more than 50% after being held back by macroeconomic concerns, says BTIG
Strong software demand from medical professionals can help Doximity forge a strong path ahead despite any macroeconomic concerns, according to BTIG. The investment bank upgraded the San Francisco-based company to buy from neutral on Monday, giving the stock a 12-month price target of $80, implying nearly 54% upside from Friday's $52.09 close. Despite broader macroeconomic headwinds lingering over the biopharmaceutical sector, analyst David Larsen says demand for the Doximity's software will remain strong. "Our view is that although there is macro uncertainty with respect to the bio-pharma industry, including the risk of tariffs, ongoing drug pricing reform, the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and Medicare Rate pressures, we believe that demand for high-quality, precise, [software as a service] commercialization efforts will continue to rise," Larsen said.

"While shares of DOCS have pulled back from ~$83 to ~$52 on F2026 guidance and worries around tariffs, drug pricing reform and macro headwinds, our view is that many of these concerns are overdone. We believe that the most-favored-nation order will not be broadly implemented," the analyst said. He also pointed to stronger-than-expected fourth-quarter results in May, a strong balance sheet and innovations like Doximity's self-service portal, as examples of how the company is well positioned to ride out any headwinds ahead. Shares have slipped more than 2% so far in 2025, but have soared 88% over the past year.

Port of SF to demolish Alioto's for public plaza
(KRON) — The building that housed Alioto's Restaurant for more than 80 years on San Francisco's Fisherman's Wharf will be torn down for a new $10 million wharf renovation envisioned by the Port of San Francisco. Alioto's, which served seafood at the wharf since 1925, as the now-empty storefront still boasts, shuttered during the pandemic when the Alioto family decided not to renew its lease. The Port of San Francisco now looks to turn the rundown, three-story building into a bustling central plaza. The plaza project is the first part of a multi-year program, which aims to reconnect visitors to the inner lagoon, improve facilities for fishermen and add protections against earthquakes and sea level rise. Giant lizard seen wandering Santa Clara County park San Francisco Supervisor Danny Sauter told KRON4 that the wharf 'shapes people's impressions of San Francisco from around the world as they come to visit.'

U.S. judge approves settlement allowing NCAA schools to pay athletes
A U.S. judge on Friday granted final approval to a $2.8 billion settlement with the National Collegiate Athletic Association that will allow schools for the first time to compensate student athletes for past and future commercial use of their names, images and likenesses. The settlement, approved in a ruling by U.S. District Judge Claudia Wilken in the Oakland, California, federal court, resolves long-running litigation between the NCAA and student athletes. "Despite some compromises, the settlement agreement nevertheless will result in extraordinary relief for members of the settlement classes," Wilken wrote. She said the deal will "permit levels and types of student-athlete compensation that have never been permitted in the history of college sports." The ruling marked a "historic day for college sports and the rights of athletes," the lead attorneys for the plaintiffs, Steve Berman and Jeffrey Kessler, said in a statement. In a statement, NCAA President Charlie Baker welcomed the judge's ruling. "Student-athletes will benefit from the rich opportunities they enjoy now, plus far more scholarship opportunities, landmark financial benefits and a streamlined NCAA to support them," Baker said. The NCAA denied any wrongdoing in agreeing to settle. The deal faced dozens of objections that it didn't adequately compensate athletes or was unfair in other ways. Objectors to the deal now can appeal to the San Francisco-based 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. The settlement, covering hundreds of thousands of current and former students since 2016, resolved three lawsuits that claimed NCAA rules barring payments to athletes violated U.S. antitrust law. The $2.8 billion will cover past damages. The plaintiffs' lawyers previously estimated the deal would provide tens of billions of dollars to class members over the next 10 years. Schools will be allowed to pay athletes from funds that universities receive from broadcasts and other commercial sources. The NCAA in April convinced a federal judge in Manhattan to dismiss a lawsuit seeking compensation for thousands of former student-athletes who played team sports in college prior to 2016. Those students have filed an appeal.
