HONG KONG and SHANGHAI and FLORHAM PARK, N.J., Aug. 07, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- HUTCHMED (China) Limited ('HUTCHMED', the 'Company' or 'we') (Nasdaq/AIM:​HCM; HKEX:​13) today reports its financial results for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and provides updates on key clinical and commercial developments.
today at 8:00 a.m. EDT / 1:00 p.m. BST / 8:00 p.m. HKT, August 7, 2025, and tomorrow at 8:30 a.m. HKT, August 8, 2025. After registration, investors may access the live webcast at www.hutch-med.com/event.
All amounts are expressed in US dollars unless otherwise stated. A list of abbreviations is in the Glossary on page 29.ORPATHYS® (savolitinib) secured China approval of its third lung cancer indication for EGFRm NSCLC patients with MET amplification after progression on EGFR inhibitor treatment in combination with TAGRISSO® (osimertinib) on June 30, 2025, in time to be eligible for potential national reimbursement negotiation towards the end of this year. This combination offers the only oral, chemotherapy-free approach to a sizable percentage (~30%) of these patients. The approval triggered a $11.0 million milestone payment from AstraZeneca which markets both ORPATHYS® and TAGRISSO®.
FRUZAQLA® (fruquintinib ex-China) in-market sales by Takeda were up 25% to $162.8 million (H1-24: $130.5m) as its geographical coverage expanded to more than 30 countries. ELUNATE® (fruquintinib China) achieved $43.0 million (H1-24: $61.0m) reflecting intensifying competitive pressures and streamlining of our salesforce structure, but growth has returned recently. Total Oncology/​Immunology consolidated revenue, including milestone and service income, was $143.5 million (H1-24: $168.7m).
Net income attributable to HUTCHMED of $455.0 million was achieved in the first half of 2025 (H1-24: $25.8m), with a cash balance of $1.36 billion as of June 30, 2025, significantly boosted by a $416.3 million divestment gain, net of tax from the disposal of a partial equity stake in a non-core joint venture and divestment proceeds.Positive results from the SACHI China and SAVANNAH global lung cancer trials of ORPATHYS® in combination with TAGRISSO® were presented at ASCO and ELCC conferences. SACHI showed mPFS of 8.2 months with this oral combination compared to 3.0 months with chemotherapy, and SAVANNAH showed 7.4 months with this oral combination. This is the only treatment option that demonstrated statistically significant results in a biomarker-directed pivotal clinical trial in MET amplified, EGFR TKI refractory NSCLC patients. Enrollment in the SAFFRON global Phase III trial is expected to complete in the second half of this year and readout in the first half of 2026.
Phase II/III trial on SULANDA® (surufatinib) in combination with AiRuiKa® (camrelizumab) and chemotherapy for previously-untreated metastatic pancreatic cancer patients is progressing well, targeting data readout in the second half of 2025. An earlier study presented promising updated data at ASCO with ORR of 51.1% (vs 24.4% with chemotherapy) and mPFS of 7.9 months (vs 5.4 months).
Positive FRUSICA-2 Phase III results supported the China approval submission for ELUNATE® with TYVYT® (sintilimab) in previously-treated kidney cancer. Details to be presented at ESMO Congress. Prior Phase Ib/II study showed ORR of 60.0% and mPFS of 15.9 months.
New Antibody-Targeted Therapy Conjugates (ATTC) platform drug candidates have been selected, planning to enter clinical development in late 2025. We also plan to present pre-clinical data at a scientific conference before the end of this year. Successful development of multiple ATTC molecules is expected to lead to collaboration and licensing opportunities in the future. Initial responses from potential partners are very positive.
Dr Dan Eldar, Non-executive Chairman of HUTCHMED, said, 'With a strong balance sheet, robust operations and an exciting new ATTC platform, HUTCHMED is ready to enter a new phase of growth. Partnering is still a strategic focus, with multinational pharmaceutical companies remaining favorable towards such licensing opportunities with China biotech companies. In recent months we have seen markets' sentiment and performance have significantly improved. China domestic drug policy and pricing environment also manifest strengthened support for innovative drug development, with the potential introduction of a commercial insurance drug list later this year, targeting a diversified, multi-layered healthcare social security payment system down the road.
We intend to prudently and actively deploy resources to expedite the development of a series of drug candidates from our novel ATTC platform, including synchronous clinical development in China and overseas. Our 20 years of knowledge of in-house discovery, experience in running large-scale pivotal trials, collaboration with international partners and success in obtaining global regulatory approvals empower us to bring forth more innovative medicines to address large unmet needs around the world.'
Dr Weiguo Su, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Scientific Officer of HUTCHMED, said, 'We concluded the first half of 2025 with several important milestones achieved, some earlier than expected. The presentation of SACHI data at ASCO in a late-breaking oral presentation at the beginning of June was impressive, validating both the clinical strength and commercial advantages of ORPATHYS® in the market. This is the first biomarker-selected pivotal study globally for EGFR TKI refractory lung cancer patients, demonstrating clear clinical benefits for these patients. The China approval of ORPATHYS® at the end of June for this indication, six months after filing acceptance, was ahead of schedule and in time to qualify for national reimbursement negotiation. Also in June, the third indication of ELUNATE® for kidney cancer was accepted for review by the NMPA, supported by positive data in the FRUSICA-2 Phase III trial, to be presented at ESMO Congress. We also launched TAZVERIK® (tazemetostat), our first hematological oncology drug, in July following approval in March.
We believe sales growth should improve in second half of 2025, with the help of indication expansion in China and better market penetration overseas. In the near term, we shall start clinical development of multiple drug candidates from our ATTC program, a crucial technology platform, which will enrich our pipeline and provide ample partnership opportunities.'
2025 INTERIM RESULTS & BUSINESS UPDATES
I. COMMERCIAL OPERATIONS
FRUZAQLA® in-market sales by Takeda were up 25% in the first half of 2025 at $162.8 million, driven by strong growth following approvals in more than 30 countries to date, including over 10 new markets in 2025. Reimbursement was received in the US, Spain and Japan last year, and, in July 2025, positive recommendation was received for NHS reimbursement in England and Wales.
The China pharmaceutical sector has gone through multifaceted changes. To position HUTCHMED for sustainable long-term growth, HUTCHMED has streamlined its sales force to establish a more efficient commercial organization and enhance productivity. In the face of intensifying competition as its products mature, HUTCHMED has strengthened its strategy to continue to focus on science-driven commercial activities to further differentiate its products. In the first half of 2025, in-market sales in China for ELUNATE®, SULANDA® and ORPATHYS® decreased as compared to the first half of 2024, reflecting competition and the transitional effects of the changes in our sales team and marketing strategy.
Total in-market sales were down 4%. Consolidated revenue dropped 22% due to lower China in-market sales, offset by flat FRUZAQLA® revenue.
Other Oncology/​Immunology revenue, consisting of upfront or milestones, R&D services and licensing to our partners increased 9% to $44.4 million. Revenue from Other Ventures, comprising prescription drug distribution, remained flat, leading to total consolidated revenue of $277.7 million, down 9%.

IV. ANTIBODY-TARGETED THERAPY CONJUGATE (ATTC) PLATFORMHUTCHMED plans to initiate China and global clinical trials for our first ATTC drug candidate around the end of 2025, followed by multiple global IND filings for more ATTC candidates in 2026.
Our ATTC next-generation technology platform leverages over 20 years of expertise in targeted therapies with small molecules inhibitors. By linking a monoclonal antibody with a proprietary targeted small-molecule inhibitor (SMI) payload, our ATTC platform has the capability to derive multiple drug candidates targeting various oncology indications, including precision medicine against selective sub-types. These ATTC drug candidates enrich the next wave of clinical development with potential key advantages over traditional antibody-drug conjugates and/or small molecule medicines.
Better efficacy through synergistic antibody-small molecule targeted therapy combinations that will target specific mutations; overcome drug resistance to existing treatment.
Improved safety and prolonged treatment given lower off-tumor or off-target toxicity than small molecules, lower risk of myelosuppression and better safety than cytotoxin-based conjugates.
Attractive pharmacokinetics tackles difficult drug targets, enabled by antibody-guided delivery to target sites which will improve bioavailability and reduce drug-drug interactions.
Advantages over existing ADCs due to lower off-tumor toxicities from the SMI payload, released through lysosomal cleavage inside target cells, targets cell signaling pathway driven by mutation specific to tumor cells. It can be used in combination with established standard therapies such as chemotherapy and immunotherapy to further enhance efficacy.
Potential first-line applications, as chemo-free ATTC can potentially support combinations with other targeted therapies, chemotherapy and immunotherapy, in early-line settings with broad market potential.
V. COLLABORATION UPDATESImageneBio, Inc. – Inmagene and Ikena Oncology, Inc. completed a merger on July 25, 2025 and ImageneBio, Inc., the merged entity, holds the license rights to IMG-007 granted by HUTCHMED. HUTCHMED has an approximate 3.67% shareholding in ImageneBio, Inc.
Announced positive results of a US/Canada Phase IIa study of IMG-007 for atopic dermatitis in April 2025, showing week 16 mean change in EASI of 77% and EASI-75 response of 54% (NCT05984784).
Dosed the first patient in a US Phase IIb randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled dose-finding study of IMG-007 for moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis in July 2025, targeting to enroll 220 patients who have had inadequate response to and/or intolerance of topical therapies (NCT07037901).

VI. OTHER VENTURES
Other Ventures consolidated revenue, predominantly from the prescription drug distribution business in China, were steady at $134.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025.
HUTCHMED divested a 45.0% equity interest in SHPL for $608.5 million in cash in April 2025, retaining a 5.0% equity interest. A divestment gain, net of tax of $416.3 million was recognized during the first half of 2025. As a result, HUTCHMED's share of equity in earnings of SHPL decreased to $23.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025.
Consolidated net income attributable to HUTCHMED from Other Ventures increased to $440.3 million (H1-24: $34.1m), primarily due to the SHPL interest disposal.
VII. SUSTAINABILITY
In April 2025, the 2024 Sustainability Report was published, highlighting the progress made in 11 goals and targets and enhanced climate actions, including improved Scope 3 data, tightened control over air travel and engagement with suppliers. This year, a comprehensive climate risks assessment is being conducted to further understand and quantify the potential financial impacts of climate change, including physical risks brought by flooding and heat stress, and transition risks for HUTCHMED under optimistic and pessimistic scenarios.
HUTCHMED has made notable progress in its ESG ratings, including ratings from CDP Worldwide, the Hang Seng Corporate Sustainability Index Series, ISS ESG, MSCI ESG, Sustainalytics, and S&P Global ESG. In May 2025, HUTCHMED ranked third in ESG Excellence in the Healthcare, Pharmaceutical, and Biotechnology sector in the Extel's Asia Executive Team survey, reflecting feedback from over 5,400 portfolio managers and analysts. Extel ranked HUTCHMED as one of the Most Honored Companies; ranked it first in Best Board of Directors, Best CEO, Best IR Program and Best IR Professionals; as well as second in Best CFO and Best IR Team in the Healthcare, Pharmaceutical, and Biotechnology sector.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS Oncology/​Immunology consolidated revenue amounted to $143.5 million (H1-24: $168.7m):
FRUZAQLA® revenue was $43.1 million (H1-24: $42.8m), reflecting continued growth in royalties, offset by reduced manufacturing revenue compared to its launch year. In-market sales by Takeda were $162.8 million (up 25%) driven by strong growth following approvals in more than 30 countries to date, including over 10 new markets in 2025.
ELUNATE® revenue decreased to $33.6 million (H1-24: $46.0m) in its seventh year since launch, comprising manufacturing revenue, promotion and marketing services revenue and royalties. In-market sales decreased to $43.0 million, reflecting the intensifying competitive pressures from combination therapies of key competing products and their additional generics and biosimilars entry in 3L CRC. The launch of the entry of the new indication 2L EMC in 2025 and continuous inclusion of ELUNATE® in key guidelines are expected to drive future growth.
SULANDA® revenue decreased to $12.7 million (H1-24: $25.4m) in the face of strong competition for NET patients from new somatostatin analogues drugs with their inclusion in the NRDL and broader coverage. To counteract this challenge, we continue to drive awareness and product differentiation to uphold SULANDA® position in TKI.
ORPATHYS® revenue decreased to $9.0 million (H1-24: $13.1m) on in-market sales of $15.2 million, impacted by the launch and NRDL inclusion of several competing drugs for METex14 skipping NSCLC. Such results have not reflected expected growth from the recent approval for the much larger EGFR TKI-refractory, MET-amplified NSCLC patient population at the end of June 2025.
TAZVERIK® revenue was $0.7 million (H1-24: $0.5m) mainly from sales in Hainan and Hong Kong. Launched in mainland China in July 2025 following its approval in March 2025.
Takeda upfront, regulatory milestones and R&D services revenue were $29.5 million (H1-24: $33.8m), of which $26.6 million was recognized from Takeda deferred revenue.
Other revenue of $14.9 million (H1-24: $7.1m), includes regulatory milestone of $11.0 million from AstraZeneca following China NDA approval for ORPATHYS® combined with TAGRISSO®.
Other Ventures consolidated revenue of $134.2 million (H1-24: $137.0m) remained flat.Cost of Revenue decreased 7% to $167.6 million (H1-24: $180.1m), which was mainly due to lower Oncology/​Immunology revenue. Cost of revenue as a percentage of oncology product revenue remained stable at 39% (H1-24: 38%).
R&D Expenses reduced by 24% to $72.0 million (H1-24: $95.3m). While R&D investment outside of China reduced to $7.6 million (H1-24: $14.9m) as we continued to integrate our global R&D operations with China, the decrease was mainly driven by China with R&D investment of $64.4 million (H1-24: $80.4m) reflecting lower costs from completed studies which are under NDA review (e.g. ELUNATE® in 2L RCC) or already led to NMPA approval in H1-25 (e.g. ORPATHYS® in 2L NSCLC). Joint China and global clinical development effort ongoing to gear up for multiple drug candidates from our ATTC program.
S&A Expenses were $41.6 million (H1-24: $57.8m). The decrease was mainly due to a reduction in S&A expenses for oncology products which was $13.4 million or 13.5% of oncology product revenue (H1-24: $25.1 million or 19.6%) as sales force structure was streamlined and tighter spending controls imposed.
Other Items generated net income of $42.2 million (H1-24: $53.3m), mainly comprised of equity in earnings of SHPL, interest income and expense, foreign exchange and taxes. The decrease was primarily due to lower share of equity in earnings of SHPL at $23.1 million (H1-24: $33.8m) as our share decreased to 5% (H1-24: 50%) after the divestment of a partial stake in SHPL completed in April 2025.
The net income attributable to HUTCHMED for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was $0.53 per ordinary share / $2.65 per ADS (H1-24: $0.03 per ordinary share / $0.15 per ADS).Adjusted Group (non-GAAP) net cash inflows excluding financing activities in the first half of 2025 were $519.1 million mainly due to the receipt of $608.5 million gross proceeds from the partial divestment of SHPL, offset with the $59.5 million capital gain tax payment for the partial divestment of SHPL, $10.0 million regulatory approval milestone payment and $9.2 million in capital expenditures (H1-24: -$51.3m mainly due to $39.8 million net cash used in operating activities and $10.1 million of capital expenditures).
Net cash generated from financing activities in the first half of 2025 totaled $9.3 million mainly due to drawdowns of bank borrowings of $8.2 million (H1-24: net cash used in financing activities of $32.6m mainly due to purchases for equity awards of $36.1 million).
Foreign exchange impact: The RMB depreciated against the US dollar on average by approximately 0.8% during the first half of 2025, which has impacted consolidated financial results as highlighted.
FINANCIAL GUIDANCE
HUTCHMED updates full year 2025 guidance for Oncology/​Immunology consolidated revenue to $270 million - $350 million due to the phasing of milestone income from partners to 2026 and onwards, as well as the estimated delay of sovleplenib China NDA review completion to after 2025. HUTCHMED will leverage its strong cash resources to accelerate ATTC global development and explore investment opportunities.

Western Union to Acquire International Money Express, Inc.

DENVER & MIAMI--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Western Union Company ('Western Union') (NYSE: WU) and International Money Express, Inc. ('Intermex') (NASDAQ: IMXI) today announced they have entered into a definitive agreement under which Western Union will acquire Intermex in an all-cash transaction at $16.00 per IMXI share, representing a total equity and enterprise value of approximately $500 million. This acquisition strengthens Western Union's retail offering in the U.S., expands market coverage in high potential geographies, and is expected to accelerate digital new customer acquisition. Intermex's deep market knowledge, strong agent relationships, and operational expertise further positions Western Union to capture growth in the Americas. 'This acquisition is a disciplined, strategic step that strengthens our North America operations and expands our presence with key consumer segments across the U.S.' said Devin McGranahan, President and CEO of Western Union. 'Intermex has built a well-recognized brand, as well as strong agent and customer relationships. Together, we will expand our retail footprint, unlock operational efficiencies, and accelerate digital engagement.' 'This agreement represents an exciting opportunity to provide Intermex's shareholders with significant and certain value, accelerating our omni-channel strategy, while continuing to deliver for our customers' said Bob Lisy, Chairman and CEO of Intermex. 'This combination with Western Union brings together two complementary businesses that are well positioned to drive growth across North America.' Strategic Rationale and Benefits: Strategic Alignment Unique opportunity for Western Union to acquire a well-positioned remittance business, adding scale in historically high-growth Latin America geographies. Opportunity to serve Intermex's 6 million customers, giving them access to Western Union's robust digital platforms and capabilities. Strengthened U.S. Retail Platform Expands and stabilizes Western Union's U.S. retail footprint, enhancing resilience and improving customer access across the Americas. Creates an opportunity to leverage Intermex's decades of operational and cultural expertise to drive targeted, sustainable retail growth. Meaningful Synergy Potential Expect $30 million in annual run-rate cost synergies within 24 months. Potential for additional revenue synergies through broader distribution and product offerings, enhancing speed, reliability, and customer value. Transaction Details: Under the terms of the agreement, Western Union will acquire Intermex for $16.00 per share in cash, representing approximately $500 million in equity and enterprise value. This reflects a roughly 50% premium to its 90-day volume-weighted average price. The acquisition is expected to be immediately accretive to Western Union's adjusted EPS by more than $0.10 in the first full year post close and to generate approximately $30 million in annual run-rate cost synergies within the first 24 months, with potential further upside from revenue synergies by integrating Intermex's capabilities into Western Union's partner and customer network. The transaction has been unanimously approved by Western Union's Board of Directors. Intermex's Board of Directors – acting on the unanimous recommendation of its independent Strategic Alternatives Committee – has also unanimously approved the transaction and recommends that Intermex stockholders vote in favor of the merger. The transaction, expected to close in mid-2026, is subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals, including clearance under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act and approvals from financial regulators, as well as approval by Intermex's stockholders. Following completion, the companies expect to implement a coordinated integration plan designed to provide a smooth transition for all customers, agents, and partners.

Financial Technology Partners LP is serving as financial advisor and Holland & Knight LLP as legal advisor to Intermex. Lazard Frères & Co.

The Largest Space Tech IPO of the Year Just Launched, With a $6.3 Billion Valuation. Can the Stock Go to the Moon?

Key Points Firefly Aerospace has notched some operational successes with its rockets and lunar lander. The company's partnerships with major industry players could be advantageous. But Firefly's incomplete financial and management picture should give investors pause. 10 stocks we like better than Firefly Aerospace › Firefly Aerospace (NASDAQ: FLY) just pulled off its second-most impressive launch of the year. The most impressive launch came in January, when the company sent its new uncrewed Blue Ghost module to the moon. The mission's success gave Firefly bragging rights as the first U.S. company to execute a fully successful soft lunar landing (that is, landing without causing serious damage to the module). It also generated a huge wave of interest in the company. That interest is clearly still white-hot, because Firefly's Thursday IPO launched the company onto the Nasdaq at a valuation of $6.3 billion. Can it rocket even higher? Or will it fall back to earth? What Firefly actually does Fans of the canceled-way-too-soon space Western Firefly will be sad to learn that the company's name isn't actually related to the TV series. Instead, it's a name Firefly founder Tom Markusic -- a former SpaceX and Virgin Galactic (NYSE: SPCE) engineer -- selected to embody a hypothetical future in which rocket launches are as common in the night sky as fireflies. Indeed, Firefly Aerospace has gone all-in on making launches more frequent and more accessible. It developed the Alpha rocket, a smaller, lighter rocket manufactured from carbon fiber composites that launched a satellite into orbit with just 24 hours' notice in 2023. While the Alpha is certainly lighter (and thus, less expensive to launch) than most other commercial rockets, the roughly one-ton payload capacity is somewhat restrictive: Firefly's Blue Ghost lunar lander, for example, was too heavy for the Alpha rocket and had to be launched using a SpaceX Falcon 9. Firefly is also working on the Elytra orbital vehicle and lunar imaging service Ocula. The company has nine planned non-test missions through 2029: five for NASA, one for the U.S. Space Force, and three for commercial clients, for a total current project backlog of $1.1 billion. Why its stock might take off... With more companies (and people) heading to space, demand for cheaper spaceflight is likely to skyrocket (no pun intended). As a company offering a more affordable rocket that has already had successful launches, Firefly is well ahead of many would-be competitors. Additionally, Firefly is receiving investment and support from industry heavyweights including Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT) and L3Harris (NYSE: LHX). In May, Firefly received a $50 million investment from Northrop Grumman (NYSE: NOC). Being in the good graces of such major aerospace players is a big advantage for the start-up, both financially and reputationally. Today's commercial space industry is a fairly crowded place, with companies big and small jockeying for limited funds and contracts. However, early success tends to encourage investment, which fuels future success. Firefly seems to have all the right ingredients, including an active contract pipeline, major industry partnerships, and a few successful early missions. If it can keep it up, it could be the next maybe an even bigger success story. ...and why it might not For an 11-year-old company, Firefly has had a checkered past, which includes IP issues, a 2017 bankruptcy, government intervention over national security concerns, and an abrupt July 2024 CEO departure (current CEO Jason Kim took the helm in October 2024). Meanwhile, private equity firm AE Industrial Partners controls the company with a 40.9% stake; the firm's employees currently hold five of Firefly's nine board seats. As the IPO prospectus notes, "AE Industrial Partners controls us, and its interests may conflict with ours or yours in the future." That's...a lot, and we haven't even gotten to the company's financials. Because it's an IPO, we don't even have a full quarterly financial report from Firefly yet. But its IPO prospectus shows a net loss of about $125 million in the first half of 2025, along with negative free cash flow of about $97.5 million, with just $205.3 million in cash on its balance sheet and $173.6 million in debt. Not a pretty picture. Now, it's not unusual for new start-ups to have high net losses and negative free cash flow, but given the lack of context and details, it's worth asking: Does this business deserve a $6.3 billion valuation? How about $8.4 billion, which the company briefly hit on its first day of public trading Thursday? To me, that seems pretty expensive for an unproven business with opaque financials in a competitive, high-risk industry that's controlled by a venture capital firm and led by a brand new CEO. Before I'd buy shares, I'd want to at least see a few quarterly reports to get a clearer picture of how the company operates. It would still be a risky bet, but right now it feels too risky to buy.

Wedbush Keeps Tesla (TSLA) Outperform, Expects a Huge Upside

Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) is one of the best battery tech stocks to buy right now. Wedbush analyst Daniel Ives is very positive about Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) and thinks the company has a strong future ahead. He gave Tesla stock an Outperform rating on August 4, and kept his price target at $500. With the stock trading at $322.50, this means there is a possible upside of around 55%. That shows Ives believes Tesla can grow a lot more. Copyright: wolandmaster / 123RF Stock Photo A big reason for this belief is the upcoming refresh of the Model Y. Many people are waiting for the new version, and it could help Tesla sell more cars. Also, Tesla is working hard on self-driving technology, and the planned robotaxi is expected to be a big step forward. If that project does well, it could open up a new area of business for Tesla. Wedbush also said that the current political climate under a Trump administration could make things easier for Tesla when it comes to rules and regulations. That might help the company move faster and focus more on its new products. Ives sees many reasons to stay confident in Tesla. Between the new cars, the robotaxi, and support from the government, the company could keep growing. With a stock price much lower than the $500 target, some investors may see this as a good opportunity. Tesla is a battery technology company because it designs and manufactures advanced lithium-ion battery cells, energy storage products like Powerwall and Megapack, and integrates these technologies into its electric vehicles and energy grid solutions, driving innovation in sustainable energy storage and usage. While we acknowledge the potential of TSLA as an investment, our conviction lies in the belief that some AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns and have limited downside risk.
