Roche extends trials of antibiotic against resistant superbug, FT reports

Yahoo28-05-2025
Roche (RHHBY) is planning to move a new antibiotic into late stage clinical trials after early studies showed it had potential to tackle a common superbug that has become resistant to other treatments, The Financial Times's Hannah Kuchler reports. If successful, it would be the first new class of antibiotic capable of killing acinetobacter or any other 'Gram-negative' bacteria to be developed for more than 50 years, the report says. Roche plans to launch a phase 3 trial for zosurabalpin at the end of the year, or early next year, Kuchler writes.

Apple (AAPL) Is Developing a Tabletop Robot as Part of Its AI Strategy

Apple (AAPL) is reportedly developing a tabletop robot as part of its artificial intelligence (AI) strategy. Elevate Your Investing Strategy: Take advantage of TipRanks Premium at 50% off! Unlock powerful investing tools, advanced data, and expert analyst insights to help you invest with confidence. Media reports state that the consumer electronics giant plans to launch the AI-driven robot in 2027. The robot is being described as an iPad mounted on a movable limb that can swivel to follow users around a room. It's designed to turn toward people speaking, seek attention from people not facing it, and inject itself into conversations. The device will feature an entirely new version of the Siri digital assistant that is infused with AI and a bubbly personality. Reports say Apple is considering making the robot resemble its MacBook 'Finder' logo. The new Siri will be able to engage in back-and-forth conversations and help people complete tasks. Project J595 Within Apple, the robot's development is code-named 'Project J595' and is being led by Kevin Lynch, who previously oversaw development of Apple's smartwatch. The company is also exploring other robotics, including a mobile bot with wheels similar to Amazon's (AMZN) Astro robot, and is even sketching out plans for humanoid models. Before the robot launches, Apple plans to release an AI smart speaker with a display by mid-2026. This device is said to be a stripped-down version of the robot without the arms and Siri capabilities. It will offer home control, music playback, note-taking, web browsing, and videoconferencing. CEO Tim Cook recently told employees that Apple 'must win in AI.' AAPL stock is down 6% this year. Is AAPL Stock a Buy? The stock of Apple has a consensus Moderate Buy rating among 29 Wall Street analysts. That rating is based on 16 Buy, 12 Hold, and one Sell recommendations assigned in the last three months. The average AAPL price target of $236.93 implies 1.16% upside from current levels.

Amazon push into grocery ‘requires monitoring,' says Wells Fargo

After Amazon announced an enhanced fresh food offering, Wells Fargo said it's hard to see the news as anything but an incremental negative for food and staples retail, though there are hurdles to winning in ultra competitive grocery. The analyst, who has an Equal Weight rating on the shares, says the move is not thesis-changing for staples retail, but requires monitoring. While the move looks like a concern for peers given the sheer size of the Prime member base, winning in grocery is not a layup for Amazon, the analyst says, adding that key questions remain on the breadth of the offer versus local grocery players. It's also important to note that many customers already have grocery delivery options, the analyst tells investors in a research note.

Amazon grocery expansion supports share gains, says JPMorgan

After Amazon announced one of its 'most significant grocery expansions' by introducing thousands of fresh perishable groceries into its retail network, JPMorgan analyst Doug Anmuth said the firm believes the expansion of same-day delivery on fresh perishable groceries to over 2,300 U.S. cities by the end of the year will drive greater share of wallet, higher purchase frequency and also support Prime pricing power. The analyst, who continues to identify Amazon as his 'Best Idea,' reiterates an Overweight rating and $265 price target on the shares.
