A closeup of pills in a pharmacy, representing the high quality medications of the company.
Despite early-year challenges, Jazz Pharmaceuticals plc (NASDAQ:JAZZ) remains a 'Buy'.
On July 22, 2025, Morgan Stanley maintained its 'Buy' rating on JAZZ. However, the analyst lowered its price target slightly from $166 to $165. The analyst attributes its bullish stance to its expectation that the company will bounce back in the second half of the year, following a 10% miss in its Q1 net product sales. This expectation is driven by an extra shipping week in the Oncology segment, stronger demand for Rylaze due to pediatric protocol shifts, and seasonal strength in sleep disorder medication.
Meanwhile, Jazz Pharmaceuticals plc (NASDAQ:JAZZ) is expected to experience major clinical developments with HERIZON-GEA-01 data and the anticipated dordaviprone FDA decision. Furthermore, the upcoming leadership change boosts optimism. Looking ahead, the analyst's oncology revenue estimate exceeds the street's estimates.
On the other hand, Wells Fargo reinforced this outlook, maintaining a 'Buy' rating on July 18 with a price target of $170.
Operating in the United States, Europe, and other global markets, Jazz Pharmaceuticals plc (NASDAQ:JAZZ) develops and commercializes pharmaceutical products. It remains on our list of the most undervalued stocks.

Yen Mostly Weakens After U.S. Extends China's Trade Deal Deadline
0051 GMT — The yen weakens against most other G-10 and Asian currencies in early trade after President Trump extended the U.S.'s trade truce with China through Nov. 9. This means the tariff rate on imports from China will stay at 30% instead of jumping to a higher level as it would have if no deal had been struck by Tuesday. Although this extension was highly anticipated, confirmation of the trade truce will still be positive for sentiment in Asia today, UOB's Global Economics & Markets Research say in a note. USD/JPY edges 0.1% higher to 148.35, AUD/JPY rises 0.2% to 96.72, and EUR/JPY is 0.2% higher at 172.35, FactSet data show. (

Nium and iPiD Deepen Strategic Collaboration to Advance VoP Compliance and Global Fraud Prevention
SINGAPORE, Aug. 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Nium, the leading global infrastructure for real-time cross-border payments, today announced the expansion of Verify, its account validation service, in Europe, through a strengthened strategic partnership with iPiD, the provider of the Know Your Payee (KYP) solution, iPiD Node. As part of this deepening collaboration, iPiD is also leveraging Nium's Verify technology to enhance its own validation capabilities, marking a mutual partnership between two of Singapore's most prominent fintech innovators. By tapping into Nium's established account verification infrastructure, iPiD is able to enhance its global coverage. This two-way partnership underscores both companies' shared vision to increase trust, reduce fraud, and meet evolving regulatory demands in cross-border payments. With VoP becoming a regulatory requirement in the EU by October 2025, payment service providers (PSPs) will be expected not only to verify payee details but also to demonstrate that verification was attempted and properly recorded. Through this collaboration, the integration of iPiD Node extends the reach of Nium's Verify solution in the EU, with audit-ready coverage in the additional 41 countries of the SEPA zone; adding to Nium's instant account verification capabilities in 25 countries globally. Nium's position as the only provider with direct access to global RTP schemes for the purpose of both payments and real-time account validation is complemented by iPiD Node's compliance-ready infrastructure. Since Nium launched Verify, it has helped customers save millions of dollars in fraud and error related costs. A leading global remittance provider saw their error rates reduce from 1.41% to 0.34% after implementing Verify. At the same time, iPiD Node has enabled institutions to meet increasingly stringent VoP compliance requirements through evidence-ready audit logs, while helping reduce false positives and manual reviews in high-risk cross-border transactions. "It's powerful when a trusted partner chooses to become a customer," said Damien Dugauquier, Co-founder & CEO at iPiD. "We're proud to work alongside Nium — not just as fellow Singapore fintechs, but as like-minded teams solving the next generation of cross-border compliance and fraud challenges." While many providers rely solely on name-matching tools for payee validation, Nium's Verify solution, with the integration of the iPiD Node allows its infrastructure to deliver an elevated experience, leveraging real-time API responses directly from domestic RTP systems for unmatched accuracy and fraud prevention, while also providing transparent, accurate and secure cross-border transactions. The addition of iPiD Node also ensures advanced capabilities in the EU including: Real-time request/response name-checking flows Evidence-ready forensics and audit logs to meet regulatory requirements Flexible name-matching logic to balance security with usability "As regulation and risk evolve, we're focused on building infrastructure that goes beyond the payment to provide both compliant and customer-centric solutions," said Alexandra Johnson, Chief Payments Officer at Nium. "Deepening our relationship with iPiD gives us the tools to further scale our Verify solution for account validation with confidence." The collaboration also reflects growing synergy between Singapore's fintech leaders in advancing secure, compliant, and scalable financial infrastructure on the global stage. Together, Nium and iPiD are setting a new standard for payee verification - combining real-time intelligence, regulatory readiness, and ecosystem collaboration to make global payments safer and smarter. About Nium Nium, the leading global infrastructure for real-time cross-border payments, was founded on the mission to deliver the global payments infrastructure of tomorrow, today.

US and China agree to critical extension, preventing tariff surge on the world's two largest economies
The United States and China agreed to pause tariff hikes on each other's goods for an additional 90 days, according to an executive order signed by President Donald Trump on Monday. Without the agreement, tariffs were set to immediately surge, risking a return to ultra-high levels that had formed an effective blockade on trade between the world's two largest economies. The news, first reported by CNBC, comes hours ahead of a 12:01 am ET deadline when tariffs on Chinese goods were set to rise to 64% from 30%. It's unclear what rates China would have charged on American goods, which are currently subject to minimum 10% tariffs. It also comes after Trump imposed a slew of 'reciprocal' tariffs on trading partners around the world, which have raised the United States' effective tariff rate to levels not seen since the Great Depression. Higher tariffs on Chinese goods, America's second-largest source of imports, would have almost certainly raised the costs many American businesses and consumers could pay — or already are paying — because of increased import taxes Trump has enacted. After meeting in Sweden last month, Chinese negotiators went as far as to say that a deal was reached. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer, both of whom attended the meeting, disputed that, saying nothing was final without Trump's word. 'We'll see what happens. They've been dealing quite nicely. The relationship is very good with President Xi and myself,' Trump said earlier on Monday. At the conclusion of last month's meeting with Chinese trade officials, Bessent said he warned his Chinese counterparts that continuing to purchase Russian oil would bring about huge tariffs under legislation in Congress that allows Trump to impose levies up to 500%. It's not clear if the administration is prepared to double down on those threats yet. Trump recently threatened India, which also purchases Russian oil, albeit considerably less than China, with a 50% tariff rate if it continues to do so by the end of this month. The move to penalize India and not other countries purchasing oil from Russia has been widely criticized by the Indian government, which claims it's being unfairly singled out. Trump suggested that more countries could face similar threats. 'You're going to see a lot more. So this is a taste,' he said last week. And over the weekend in a Fox News interview, Vice President JD Vance said such tariffs on China are on the table, though Trump had not yet made a decision. 'Given that we seem to be headed toward some type of deal with China leading to some kind of meeting between Xi and Trump, the administration has definitely been more conciliatory towards China in the past few weeks,' said Wendy Cutler, a former US trade negotiator who is now vice president of the Asia Society Policy Institute. Were China to give in to the administration's desires to stop purchasing Russian oil, it would be done 'quietly and gradually' rather than a Trump announcement on social media, she added. Much remains unresolved Bessent also said he voiced concerns and regrets about China's sales of over $15 billion worth of dual-use technology equipment (that is, equipment that has both commercial and military uses) to Russia and its purchase of sanctioned Iranian oil. Another sticking point between the US and China has been exportations of rare earth magnets. China agreed to increase exports, but Trump says China has not held up its end of the bargain. The US also wants to find an American buyer for TikTok, which is currently owned by a Chinese company. Congress has set out a timeline for the app to find new ownership or face a US ban.
