NeoGenomics, RadNet, Pediatrix Medical Group, Penumbra, and Neogen Shares Plummet, What You Need To Know
The wider market sentiment turned negative after the White House announced plans to impose a 35% tariff on Canadian imports, sparking renewed fears of a trade war. This news prompted a sell-off across major U.S. indexes, including the S&P 500 and the Dow Jones Industrial Average, as investors grew concerned about the potential economic impact of escalating protectionist policies. The healthcare sector is especially vulnerable to such tensions due to its deeply integrated supply chains with Canada for pharmaceuticals and medical devices, meaning increased costs and potential disruptions.
Additionally, ongoing U.S. policy headwinds aimed at lowering drug prices and specific corporate challenges, like those faced by UnitedHealth Group, further compounded the sector's decline. As a result, the Health Care SPDR ETF (XLV) fell 1.0%, underperforming even as major indices pared some losses.
The stock market overreacts to news, and big price drops can present good opportunities to buy high-quality stocks.

NeoGenomics is down 56.1% since the beginning of the year, and at $7.25 per share, it is trading 61.1% below its 52-week high of $18.61 from January 2025. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of NeoGenomics's shares 5 years ago would now be looking at an investment worth $207.09.

MicroStrategy's $14 Billion Bitcoin Gain Becomes A Footnote In Bold Treasury Vision
MicroStrategy Incorporated (NASDAQ:MSTR) shares are trading lower on Friday. The company, which does business as Strategy, reported second-quarter revenue of $114.49 million, beating analyst estimates of $112.96 million. The company reported second-quarter adjusted earnings of $32.52 per share on Thursday. Following the earnings release, Benchmark analyst Mark Palmer reiterated the Buy rating on Strategy, raising the price forecast to $705. Palmer notes that while most companies would make headlines with $14 billion in operating income and $10 billion in net profit, Strategy's second-quarter results stood out more for the two-hour call where executives outlined their ambition to transform the firm from a bitcoin-focused treasury into the world's largest corporate the impressive numbers, fueled largely by Bitcoin's (CRYPTO: BTC/USD) surge and new fair-value accounting rules (ASU 2023-08), Palmer highlights that the reported $32.60 in diluted EPS and the $14 billion crypto-driven gain felt secondary by the end of the call. He observes that executives, including Michael Saylor, appeared unfazed by the record-setting quarter, downplaying the earnings as just another marker in a broader, long-term strategy aimed at reshaping the firm's place in corporate finance. Palmer maintains the rating and raises the price forecast, using a sum-of-the-parts approach that factors in the estimated value of its bitcoin holdings by Year Ending (YE) 2026, a 10x multiple on projected fiscal year 2026 bitcoin gains, and the expected YE26 valuation of its software segment. This forecast assumes Bitcoin reaches $225,000 by the end of 2026. Palmer highlights that much of the earnings call focused on a new capital strategy aimed at increasing bitcoin exposure and transforming the treasury into a long-term profit center. At the heart of this plan is a perpetual preferred share class, STRC, which Executive Chairman Michael Saylor described as the company's 'iPhone moment', a 6.1x overcollateralized, short-duration instrument designed for price stability, currently offering an effective yield of 9.5%. For fiscal year 2025, the analyst expects the company to report earnings per share of $15.95. Price Action: MSTR shares are trading lower by 6.15% to $15.95 at last check Friday.

Bitcoin and crypto are on an upswing. How long can it continue?
July was good to Bitcoin, and some analysts think this may just be the warmup. Although Bitcoin was last down 0.35% at $115,396.40, below its record peak of around $123,000, some analysts aren't worried. Tom Lee, managing partner and head of research at Fundstrat Global Advisors who predicted Bitcoin's peak in 2024, has said he thinks Bitcoin willl reach $250,000 before the end of the year. Bitcoin climbed to a record high on July 14 as weekly cryptocurrency investment products saw record weekly inflows, pushing the total crypto market to top $4 trillion for the first time ever. With new legislation signed into law last month and skyrocketing institutional buying, there's little doubt digital assets are becoming more mainstream, they say. Earlier in the year, crypto exchange Coinbase also became the first crypto exchange to join the S&P 500, marking a major milestone for the digital asset industry. "Bitcoin pulling back after reaching a new all-time high is not unusual," said Samer Hasn, Senior Market Analyst at global broker Often, rallies are followed by dips, so people can take some profits around key technical levels. The drops also allow people who are sidelined and don't want to buy at the highs a lower entry point. Regulations give institutions green light The GENIUS Act, signed into law on July 18, creates a regulatory framework for stablecoins, a popular type of cryptocurrency tied to the value of stable assets like the U.S. dollar. The Act "marks a turning point in federal crypto oversight," said Frank Walbaum Market Analyst at socal investing platform Naga. "Regulatory clarity could support institutional adoption and long-term market maturation." Crypto has already seen a flood of new interest, with money flooding into crypto exchange traded funds, or ETFs that trade like stocks on an exchange but have holdings that track an index or other underlying asset. iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF, which seeks to reflect generally the performance of the price of bitcoin, became the fastest growing ETF ever in terms of assets. "The crypto ETF pie is growing fast because of broader adoptions after executive orders by President Donald Trump that are in the process of breaking down regulatory barriers that previously stood in the way of broader crypto adoption," said Bryan Armour, Morningstar's director of ETF and passive strategies. Who's buying crypto? Buyers are mostly young American males, according to a Deutsche Bank survey of U.S., UK and EU residents in June. In the United States, 23% of men versus 13% of women use cryptocurrency as a form of payment or personally invest in crypto, the survey showed. That's up from 20% and 12%, respectively, in January. Individual investors also tend to be young in the U.S. Among 18–34-year-olds, the share of investors increased to 29% in June from 24% in January, due to "excitement over Trump's pro-crypto administration," said Marion Laboure, senior economist at Deutsche Bank. Adoption rates have been on an upwards trend since Trump's election in November. U.S. investors also tend to have more money. U.S. crypto adopters tend to have income above $100,000 annually (34%). It was a 32% adoption rate for those earning between $50,000 and $100,000. More companies also are building Bitcoin treasuries. For example, MicroStrategy, which began buying Bitcoin in 2020, has since sold equity, issued various types of debt and layered stacks of preferred shares on top to raise money to buy more. In its latest earnings regulatory filing, it said it would do so again, selling $4.2 billion more in preferred stock to buy more of the digital coin. Its Bitcoin holdings helped the company's results top second-quarter estimates with a surprising profit. Metaplanet also said in a regulatory filing it plans to potentially issue up to $3.7 billion worth of perpetual preferred shares and use proceeds to buy more Bitcoin. It has said it wants to accumulate 210,000 Bitcoin by the end of 2027. Medora Lee is a money, markets, and personal finance reporter at USA TODAY.

NextNav and Oscilloquartz Partner to Advance 5G Based Timing Solutions for Critical Infrastructure
RESTON, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--NextNav, a leader in resilient Positioning, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) technologies, today announced a strategic partnership with Oscilloquartz, an Adtran company and global leader in time synchronization solutions. The companies will showcase how 5G-powered terrestrial PNT and Oscilloquartz's proven timing technology could enable a scalable complement and backup to GPS capable of keeping critical systems like data centers, utilities, and emergency services running during outages. This collaboration is intended to lead to a complementary and backup timing service layer to GPS, leveraging existing 5G infrastructure to distribute accurate, UTC-aligned time both indoors and outdoors. By fusing Oscilloquartz's best-in-class synchronization equipment with NextNav's terrestrial 5G PNT solution, the partnership will enable greater resiliency by adding an additional timing source to ensure end users are not dependent on a single timing source. 'This partnership is a foundational step toward realizing a systems-of-systems approach to PNT resiliency that helps address an urgent national security and public safety need,' said Sidd Chenumolu, Chief Business Development Officer. 'Together with Oscilloquartz, we're enabling diverse, standards-based timing sources to ensure continuity and security for critical applications — from emergency services to utilities.' This joint effort responds to a growing market demand for secure, redundant timing solutions amid real-world threats to GPS. By aligning with the ongoing FCC efforts to identify complementary PNT technologies, NextNav and Oscilloquartz are setting the stage to enable a terrestrial 5G-powered 3D PNT solution that advances both private-sector innovation and supports national security priorities. 'Our expertise in delivering resilient synchronization solutions built on diverse cPNT sources makes this collaboration with NextNav a natural fit,' commented Gil Biran, GM of Oscilloquartz, Adtran. 'Together, we're helping to strengthen national infrastructure with secure, GPS-independent timing that supports continuity even in the face of GNSS disruption.' The demonstration of integrated terrestrial timing will serve as a proof point for 5G-based timing synchronization and serves as a template for future widescale deployments. It's a forward-looking example of how the timing industry and NextNav can work together to reduce reliance on a single source of timing from GPS and increase national PNT resilience.
