1 Industrials Stock with Exciting Potential and 2 to Turn Down
Even if they go mostly unnoticed, industrial businesses are the backbone of our country. But they are at the whim of volatile macroeconomic factors that influence capital spending (like interest rates), and the market seems convinced that demand will slow. Due to this bearish outlook, the industry has tumbled by 13% over the past six months. This drawdown was worse than the S&P 500's 3.6% decline. The elite companies can churn out earnings growth under any circumstance, however, and our mission at StockStory is to help you find them. Keeping that in mind, here is one industrials stock poised to generate sustainable market-beating returns and two best left ignored. Market Cap: $834 million Involved in the design of the Apple Store on Fifth Avenue in New York City, Apogee (NASDAQ:APOG) sells architectural products and services such as high-performance glass for commercial buildings. Why Are We Cautious About APOG? Products and services are facing end-market challenges during this cycle, as seen in its flat sales over the last five years Demand will likely be weak over the next 12 months as Wall Street expects flat revenue Capital intensity has ramped up over the last five years as its free cash flow margin decreased by 2.8 percentage points Apogee's stock price of $38.66 implies a valuation ratio of 9.1x forward P/E. Dive into our free research report to see why there are better opportunities than APOG. Market Cap: $57.9 billion Established as part of the Chessie System and Seaboard Coast Line Industries merger, CSX (NASDAQ:CSX) is a transportation company specializing in freight rail services. Why Do We Pass on CSX? Flat unit sales over the past two years imply it may need to invest in improvements to get back on track Earnings per share decreased by more than its revenue over the last two years, showing each sale was less profitable Free cash flow margin shrank by 15.6 percentage points over the last five years, suggesting the company is consuming more capital to stay competitive At $30.83 per share, CSX trades at 16.8x forward P/E. Check out our free in-depth research report to learn more about why CSX doesn't pass our bar. Market Cap: $8.62 billion Helping build race cars at one point, Allison Transmission (NYSE:ALSN) offers transmissions to original equipment manufacturers and fleet operators.

Gitex Europe: The exoskeleton suits that give wearer 'the strength of a robot'
Robotic exoskeleton suits that give manual labourers extra strength could be about to transform the workplace. The power suits, designed by the European firm German Bionic, were among the main attractions on the second day of the technology exhibition Gitex Europe in Berlin. The Apogee wearable tool, which has the appearance of a robotic vest, is already being used in factories, hospitals and production lines, where it is being used for a variety of tasks including changing tyres in car garages and easing the load of baggage handlers at Stuttgart Airport. The company behind the device hopes that its success in Europe will soon be replicated in the UAE. The firm is looking to build new partnerships with Dubai investors and take the robotic vests into the Middle East. Devices lift up to 36kg, providing "an intelligent link between humans and machines", as it learns each wearer's behaviours and walking patterns to improve performance. The Apogee is the sixth generation of the vest, with German Bionic's chief product officer Norma Steller expecting the device to continue to improve. 'The purpose of the device is that it augments the human body in a way that gives you additional strength and power when you're lifting, when you're walking, or also when you're forward bending,' Ms Steller told The National in Berlin. 'In most cases, it is compensating the whole weight of anything that has to be handled. In Europe, most cargo is still moved on the road by lorries and the unloading and loading is still manual work. The exoskeleton will help and compensate those stress moments.' Initial prototypes weighed 12kg, but the latest model on show at Gitex had its weight cut to just 7kg. The strength is provided by two electric robotic weight engines, with rechargeable power banks providing around four hours of battery life. Devices cost around Dh290,000, but can be rented for around D1,250 a month. Rather than robots replacing workers, the devices allow an existing workforce to maximise their output, Ms Steller added. 'You still have a human worker with the creativity, problem-solving skills and technical experience, but with the strength of a robot,' she said. Company investors include Storm Ventures, Benhamou Global Ventures and MIG Capital, an early investor into BioNTech that developed a vaccine for Covid-19. In 2023, the device won a German Entrepreneur Award for innovation in an industry that has grown considerably in the last decade. Driven by an increasing need for rehabilitation technology and workplace safety, manufacturing and health care have been the industries to see the greatest expansion. That looks set to continue, with a forecast by industry analysts at Fortune Business Insights suggesting the global market for wearable robotic exoskeletons will reach $30.56 billion by 2032. In 2023, the US army trialled a robotic exoskeleton to help soldiers carry heavy loads into the battlefield, and to help load howitzer shells. Troops from the 1-78 Field Artillery Battalion tested the futuristic suits to improve strength and endurance during combat. At a Gitex panel on humanoid and human-centric robots, Pawel Mroczkowski, executive director of DBR77 Robotics said Europe was currently lagging behind the US in bringing robots into industry. 'In Europe, we need a new way of approaching the development speed for humanoids and human-centred robotics,' he said. 'We know how robots and their applications will impact our companies for the next two or three years, but investors need to take a deeper jump into this industry.' Since its inaugural event in Dubai in 1981, Gitex has expanded to host events in technology, business and health care in Africa, Asia and now Europe. On the opening day of the event on Wednesday, Alia Al Mazrouei, Minister of State for Entrepreneurship, hoped the three-day show would attract further investment into UAE tech companies.

Apogee Therapeutics Provides Business Update, Pipeline Progress and Reports First Quarter 2025 Financial Results
Phase 2 APEX trial of APG777 in atopic dermatitis advancing with interim Part A 16-week data expected in mid-2025 and Part B actively enrolling First patient dosed in Phase 1b trial of APG777 in mild-to-moderate asthma with readout expected in 1H 2026 APG279 on track to initiate Phase 1b head-to-head trial vs DUPIXENT in 2025 with readout expected in 2H 2026 Positive interim Phase 1b readout of APG808 in patients with mild-to-moderate asthma demonstrated rapid, robust and sustained suppression of FeNO, a biomarker of Type 2 inflammation that is associated with exacerbations in asthma $681.4 million cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities supports runway into Q1 2028 SAN FRANCISCO and WALTHAM, Mass., May 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Apogee Therapeutics, Inc., (Nasdaq: APGE), a clinical-stage biotechnology company advancing novel biologics with the potential for differentiated efficacy and dosing in the largest inflammatory and immunology (I&I) markets, including for the treatment of atopic dermatitis (AD), asthma, eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and other I&I indications, today provided business updates, pipeline progress and reported first quarter 2025 financial results. '2025 is poised to be a transformational year for Apogee, and we are pleased with the strong execution in the first quarter as we continue to advance therapies with the goal of reshaping the standard of care for patients living with I&I diseases,' said Michael Henderson, M.D., Chief Executive Officer of Apogee. 'We have made significant progress in our Phase 2 APEX trial of APG777, which is actively enrolling Part B and on track for the interim 16-week readout from Part A mid-year. Momentum continues across our programs, driven by the initiation of our Phase 1b trial of APG777 in patients with mild-to-moderate asthma, today's announcement of positive interim clinical trial results from our Phase 1b trial of APG808 in patients with mild-to-moderate asthma, as well as the positive Phase 1 interim readout for APG990, which exceeded all trial objectives and unlocked the potential for dosing APG279 (APG777 + APG990) two- to four- times per year with a single 2 mL co-formulated injection. Following these encouraging results from APG990, we are advancing our first-in-class combination strategy with plans to initiate a head-to-head Phase 1b study of APG279 versus DUPIXENT in AD later this year. With a very strong cash position and multiple catalysts across our portfolio in the months ahead, we are looking forward to an exciting and productive 2025 and 2026.' New independent market research reinforces APG777's potential to become a market leader in the rapidly expanding AD biologic space:Apogee conducted third-party quantitative market research in April 2025 and asked US patients and physicians the likelihood that they would switch to APG777 from their current or previous biologic assuming APG777 had similar efficacy and overall results to DUPIXENT and an every 3-month, or quarterly, injection maintenance schedule. Responses demonstrated that APG777 was highly preferred over current biologic options by patients and physicians 96% of patients currently on a biologic, both controlled and inadequately controlled, would likely switch to APG777. 80% of physicians would likely start their biologic naive patients on APG777, while 83% of physicians would likely switch inadequately controlled biologic patients to APG777. 67% of physicians are open to switching their controlled patients to a quarterly dose of APG777. Compared to a hypothetical daily oral with equivalent efficacy and safety, patients and providers prefer APG777's quarterly dosing profile: Patients prefer the APG777 profile by more than 3 to 1. Providers prefer the APG777 profile by nearly 4 to 1. 'Based on the recent market research we commissioned, APG777's potential quarterly dosing is highly preferred by both physicians and patients to other available options. Physicians expressed strong interest in both initiating new-to-biologic patients to APG777 as well as switching patients already on biologics to APG777, assuming comparable efficacy and safety to current biologics,' said Jeff Hartness, Chief Commercial Officer of Apogee. 'The AD biologic market is expanding rapidly—with year-to-date growth of 23% in total prescriptions and 44% in new-to-brand prescriptions—and new entrants are accelerating the shift from topicals to biologics. We believe APG777 is well positioned to transform the AD treatment landscape and significantly improve the quality of life for patients living with moderate-to-severe AD.' Pipeline Highlights and Upcoming Milestones Apogee continues to execute APG777 monotherapy program in AD and expansion indications: APG777 is a novel, subcutaneous (SQ), extended half-life monoclonal antibody (mAb) targeting IL-13 – a critical cytokine in inflammation and a primary driver of AD. The Phase 2 APEX clinical trial of APG777 is progressing, with Part A fully enrolled and Part B actively enrolling patients with moderate-to-severe AD. The company expects to report 16-week topline data from Part A of the trial in mid-2025 and from Part B in the second half of 2026. Apogee today announced that the first patient has been dosed in a Phase 1b trial of APG777 in patients with mild-to-moderate asthma. The primary endpoint of the trial is safety and tolerability, with secondary endpoints exploring pharmacokinetics (PK), FeNO suppression of APG777, with readout expected in the first half of 2026. The company also plans to initiate a Phase 2 trial in EoE in 2026. APG279 (APG777 + APG990) Phase 1b head-to-head study against DUPIXENT on track to initiate in 2025: APG990 is a novel, SQ, extended half-life mAb targeting OX40L, and the combination with APG777 offers the potential for improved clinical responses over monotherapy across a variety of I&I diseases while Apogee's approach of co-formulating two extended half-life mAbs provides the potential for first-in-class and best-in-class dosing. In March 2025, Apogee reported positive APG990 Phase 1 interim results in healthy volunteers, unlocking potential maintenance dosing every three and six months for APG279 (APG777 + APG990) Apogee plans to initiate its first-in-class combination trial, a Phase 1b trial designed to evaluate the safety, PK, pharmacodynamics and efficacy of APG279 against DUPIXENT in patients with moderate-to-severe AD this year, with an interim readout expected in the second half of 2026. Progress continues in our combination approach of APG777 + APG333: APG333 is a novel, SQ, extended half-life mAb targeting thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP), a key driver of Type 2 and Type 3 inflammation in eosinophilic and non-eosinophilic conditions. A Phase 1 trial of APG333 in healthy volunteers is underway, with data expected in the second half of 2025. Positive interim data for APG808 Phase 1b trial in asthma reported: APG808 is a novel, SQ extended half-life mAb targeting IL-4Rα, a target with clinical validation across eight Type 2 allergic diseases. In preclinical studies, APG808 has similar binding and femtomolar affinity for IL-4Rα as compared to DUPIXENT and has demonstrated similar inhibition to DUPIXENT. Today, the company reported positive interim results of the Phase 1b trial of APG808 in patients with mild-to-moderate asthma. The results demonstrated that APG808 was well-tolerated, with multiple doses of APG808 resulting in rapid suppression of FeNO, a biomarker of Type 2 inflammation that is associated with exacerbations in asthma, with a maximal robust FeNO decrease from baseline of 53% and sustained FeNO decrease from baseline of 50% at 12 weeks. APG808's optimized PK profile coupled with FeNO suppression out to 12-weeks reinforce the potential for 2-months or longer maintenance dosing, offering a significant advantage compared to the current bi-weekly standard of care. First Quarter 2025 Financial Results Cash Position: Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities were $681.4 million as of March 31, 2025, compared to $731.1 million as of December 31, 2024. Based on current operating plans, Apogee expects its existing cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities will enable the company to fund its operating expenses into the first quarter of 2028. R&D Expenses: Research and development (R&D) expenses were $46.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, compared to $28.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2024. R&D expenses increased primarily due to the advancement of the pipeline and continued development of the company's programs, and increases in personnel-related expenses and equity-based compensation, associated with the growth in the company's R&D team. G&A Expenses: General and administrative (G&A) expenses were $16.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, compared to $9.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2024. G&A expenses increased primarily due to increases in personnel-related expenses and equity-based compensation, primarily driven by increased headcount and an increase in the fair value of equity awards granted. These increases are the result of the company's expansion of operations to support the growth in its business. Net Loss: Net loss was $55.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, compared to a net loss of $32.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2024. Net loss increased primarily as a result of higher R&D and G&A expenses as described above, partially offset by higher interest income.
