BofA Reiterates Hold Rating on Novavax (NVAX) Stock
On May 20, BofA analyst Alec Stranahan reiterated a Hold rating on Novavax, Inc. (NASDAQ:NVAX) stock, setting a price target of $10. The approval of Nuvaxovid for use in older and high-risk adults will generate around $175 million in milestone payments from Sanofi during Q3 and an additional $50 million in the second half of 2025. Stranahan cited that this will mitigate near-term risks. However, the analyst pointed out that the post-marketing commitments and the need for further trials are already considered in Novavax's guidance, indicating minimal influence on the stock's performance. A person holding a syringe filled with a vaccine, implying the companys impact on health and wellbeing.

Overall, the analyst maintains a neutral view on the stock, considering the full potential of Novavax's pipeline remains to be unlocked. Novavax, Inc. (NASDAQ:NVAX) is a biotechnology firm that is engaged in the discovery, development, and commercialization of vaccines to protect against serious diseases worldwide.

This Brewer's Cask Single Malt Doesn't Let Beer Overpower The Whiskey
Stranahan's Diamond Peak Brewer's Cask Colorado-based Stranahan's celebrated their 20th anniversary in 2024, and today, the Denver distillery is one of the oldest producers of American Single Malt. (A category of spirit that was recognized by the federal government this past January.) While the distillery is known for a wide variety of specialty releases and cask finishes, one of its latest bottles pays homage to its origins and Colorado's storied brewing culture. Fortunately for whiskey drinkers, this is one collaboration where the beer enhances the drinking experience instead of overpowering it. All Stranahan's single malt initially ages in new charred American oak barrels. After an initial aging period, often between four and six years, some of that whiskey is transferred to a variety of other casks for extended finishing. As someone who has seen their operation up close, the distillery's deep stocks feature a dizzying array of finishing casks, including barrels that previously held a broad diversity of wines, as well as spirits including mezcal, rum, peated Scotch, and more. To focus in on a single type of secondary barrel aging, Diamond Peak is Stranahan's annual, nationwide bottling that highlights 'one specific variety of speciality cask-finished whiskies.' The 2025 version of Diamond Peak—the fourth edition overall—is titled 'Local Brewer's Cask.' To create the expression, Stranahan's lent their used American single malt casks to four Denver-area breweries. Local beer was aged in those barrels, after which they were dumped and returned to Stranahan's (or 'boomeranged' according an evocatively worded press release). Those barrels were then refilled with Stranahan's single malt, which aged for an additional period of between one and one-and-a-half years, depending on the barrel. The liquid in those final barrels was blended to create this year's Diamond Peak release. Previous versions of Diamond Peak featured whiskey that underwent additional aging in casks that once held Bushmills, extra añejo tequila, and Caribbean rum. (Bushmills and Stranahan's are both owned by Proximo Spirits.) But this latest, beer-influenced Diamond Peak gets extra points due to the nostalgia factor. In fact, the first version of what would become Stranahan's single malt was distilled from beer mash made by Colorado's Flying Dog Brewery. Stranahan's has long maintained relationships and collaborated with local breweries on a variety of projects. But the proof is ultimately in the taste. So how does this latest Diamond Peak stack up? The nose starts off with some classic scents familiar to longtime Stranahan's drinkers: dried orange peel, candied ginger, rum raisin ice cream, fresh drip coffee, and heavily spiced fruitcake. At least based on aroma, it's a little funkier and more intensely spiced than some other recent expressions from the distillery—but it's certainly not overpoweringly hoppy or otherwise tilted more toward beer than the base whiskey. (A trough some beer barrel-finished American whiskeys can easily fall into, for better or for worse.) The palate leads with some light tropical fruit—fresh pineapple, ripe papaya—with some tannins in the realm of cigar box and fermented tea leaves. Birch and cedar build mildly at the midpalate, along with mulberries and a touch of hard apple cider. The flavor is quite pronounced for 90 proof (frankly a bit more than I was expecting), which leads to a balanced finish that once again leans into a variety of fruits with enough oak to cut through the sweetness. This latest iteration of Stranahan's Diamond Peak is now available at the distillery for $79.99 and at select retailers (where prices may vary).

Ohio woman, 73, recovers most of $42K she lost in online scam' — what you need to know to protect yourself
Scam artists target older Americans online, thinking they're easy prey — like one 73-year-old woman in Delhi Township, Ohio, who handed over $42,000 in bitcoin in an online scam. But that's how the story begins. It's not how it ends. I'm 49 years old and have nothing saved for retirement — what should I do? Don't panic. Here are 5 of the easiest ways you can catch up (and fast) Thanks to Jeff Bezos, you can now become a landlord for as little as $100 — and no, you don't have to deal with tenants or fix freezers. Here's how Nervous about the stock market in 2025? Find out how you can access this $1B private real estate fund (with as little as $10) A growing number of people are onto the scammers' techniques — including that same woman, local police and the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation, which has a dedicated unit to deal with cybercrime. She teamed up with authorities to recover $34,000 of the $42,000 she lost. 'Being able to help somebody get through their retirement years by recovering some of their hard-earned savings back to them is the biggest win ever,' Supervisory Special Agent Scott Stranahan told WKRC. Here's what happened to this woman and what was critical to getting her money back. The scammers followed an increasingly familiar playbook: posing as a legitimate organization and using fear and a sense of urgency to get a victim to hand over cash. In August 2024, con artists sent the Ohio woman a fake Microsoft pop-up on her computer warning that her computer had been hacked. The pop-up included a number to call. 'They're very convincing when they get you on the phone," Stranahan said of the imposters.

Here's 3 ways to protect yourself When the woman called, an imposter told her she'd reached the Microsoft hotline and they could fix her computer, but it would cost $42,000 and that she needed to convert her cash into bitcoin and send it in multiple online transactions. She followed instructions, but as soon as she realized she'd been duped, she contacted Delhi police who immediately contacted the Electronic Financial Investigations Unit at the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigations. Stranahan said there's a misconception that it's impossible to trace bitcoin, but investigators can track and cancel bitcoin transactions with enough lead time. In this case, they were able to freeze 81% of the transactions, recovering $34,000 of the woman's money. Everyone's fast action — including the victim's — was critical. 'Tech Support' scams are so common that Microsoft has posted these tips: Microsoft will not send phone numbers with legitimate error messages Microsoft will not tell you that there is a problem with your computer without you first reaching out for help. If you see a questionable 'Tech Support' pop-up on your computer, close your browser (press ALT+F4 if you're unable to use your mouse) or restart your computer. If you receive a call about problems with your computer, hang up. Report a technical support scam to Microsoft. Stranahan warns people to beware of calls from anyone claiming to be a service provider or a law enforcement officer and offers these tips: Don't feel pressured to act right away, even if the person or message sounds urgent. Don't share your personal information and refuse any request for money, especially if you're asked to convert money into gift cards or bitcoin, both of which can be hard to trace. Ask the person who called you for their supervisor's name and a local callback number. A scammer won't want to provide that information. If that's the case, hang up or delete the message immediately. Call a trusted friend or family member and tell them about what happened to you to help confirm whether you've been targeted for a scam. If you do fall prey to an online scam, reporting it is essential — not just to protect yourself but others. In addition to police, consider reporting the crime via the Federal Trade Commission's website or by calling 877-382-4357. Want an extra $1,300,000 when you retire?
