"We are proud to support Allay as they advance best-in-class non-opioid solutions for patients suffering from pain and poor recovery outcomes after surgery. Allay exemplifies ClavystBio's mission to accelerate life sciences technologies from Singapore to the world," said Anselm Tan, Digital Health & MedTech Lead, ClavystBio. "ATX101 is one of several offerings in a pipeline driven by Singapore's R&D excellence, a strong collaboration among international teams, and a global syndicate of investors." Allay's Phase 2b registration trial of 200 participants undergoing total knee arthroplasty (replacement, or TKA surgery) is being conducted at multiple U.S. sites. The trial was initiated in February 2025 and is a three-arm, randomized, controlled study evaluating treatment with ATX101 1,500 mg versus placebo and a bupivacaine active comparator. A prior dose-ranging Phase 2b trial achieved clinically meaningful durable treatment effects with ATX101 versus standard-of-care bupivacaine based on pain intensity out to four weeks, with less use of opioids and meaningful improvement in functional activities up to 60 days following surgery. Based on those prior results, Allay's ATX101 product has received Breakthrough Therapy designation from the FDA. Results from the registration trial will be available in the fourth quarter of 2025 and a Phase 3 trial is planned for 2026.

Why Skylar Walden knew a TSSAA basketball state championship game was inevitable for The King's Academy
COOKEVILLE — The King's Academy girls basketball coach Dante Turnipseed watched as a leaping, screaming mass of purple and white developed in front of him. He pumped both his fists, yelling "Let's go!" while shiny pom-poms flew through the air. It's been, in Turnipseed's words, a "roller coaster" ride for the Lions, a ride that none of them want to get off. And they won't have to just yet. TKA (27-7) beat Providence Christian 57-36 in Thursday's TSSAA basketball Division II-A state semifinal at the Hooper Eblen Center and will face either Webb School - Bell Buckle or University School of Jackson in Saturday's championship game that will start at 11 a.m. The Lions, whose first and only title game appearance came in 2020, reached the semifinals in 2023 and 2024 but lost both games. "It's like a turning point," said sophomore Skylar Walden. "Winning a game up here means so much. This is our third year and we're finally getting it done." Walden said she knew TKA was going to win at halftime. The Lions led 27-15, hardly out of range for a comeback, but their leading scorer sensed the momentum was on their side. To Walden, PCA (23-7) seemed devoid of energy, almost dead. Part of that came down to how the first half ended. With seconds remaining, Walden drew a foul on a 3-point attempt and went 3-for-3 at the line. Those free throws — her first points of the game — were the catalysts for 21 more points in the second half. They were hard-earned points, as Providence Christian tried to take away what Walden does best. PCA coach Tara James schemed to run Walden, who came into Thursday having hit 105 threes at nearly 40% for the season, off the 3-point line. PCA fought hard to get over screens and close the little pockets from which Walden could let it fly. With her favorite shots guarded up, Walden simply decided not to attempt them. She finished with 24 points — eight above her season average — on 7-of-11 shooting, driving the lane with great success while only attempting two threes and not hitting her first until deep into the fourth quarter. "I was trying not to force anything," Walden said. "If I can get a layup, they'll start crashing in and we can get other threes. I was just trying to take what they were giving me." Wofford signee Brady Branam and Adit Koul worked off Walden's gravity and combined for 19 points, mostly in the paint, while TKA separated itself at the free throw line too. The Lions only committed six fouls as a team and went 15-of-20 from the foul line, while PCA made just one trip there for the game. MORE: Colin Brown, Trey Thompson each score over 30 to lead Greeneville in Knoxville area top performers Defending without fouling was an emphasis for Turnipseed, who wanted to speed up the game and take advantage of PCA miscues rather than selling out for steals. That strategy resulted in 19 turnovers, even as TKA wasn't necessarily trying to force them. "I told them, 'Let's not try to foul them, let's try to run them to death,' " Turnipseed said. "... If they fumble it, then we can get it, but let's not foul and make them get easy points." One month ago, the Lions were reeling, having lost their last two games in the District 1 tournament. Now, they're a win away from bringing a gold ball back to Seymour. "The girls just bought in and said, 'Hey, this is not it,' Turnipseed said. "We put district behind us, and we don't look back in the rearview mirror." Jacob Shames can be reached by email at jshames@ and on Twitter @Jacob_Shames.

Monogram Technologies Provides Regulatory Update on mBôs TKA System and Clinical Trial Preparation in India
Company has Completed all Supplemental Testing and has Submitted its Formal Response to the FDA's Additional Information Request (AIR) Investigator Meeting and Clinical Trial Training Held at the Shalby Hospital in Ahmedabad, India AUSTIN, TX / ACCESS Newswire / February 26, 2025 / Monogram Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:MGRM) ('Monogram' or the 'Company'), an AI-driven robotics company focused on improving human health with an initial focus on orthopedic surgery, today provided an update regarding its 510(k) premarket filing submission to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ('FDA') for the Company's mBôs TKA System. The Company has completed all supplemental testing and submitted its formal response to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regarding the Additional Information Request (AIR) received on September 30, 2024. The Company does not currently anticipate further requests for information from the agency. Assuming a favorable decision by the FDA following receipt of the AIR, the next communication from them is anticipated to be a clearance decision for the mBôs™ Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) System. If granted, that would enable commercialization and sales of the TKA system in the United States. In August 2024, Monogram announced a strategic collaboration with Shalby Limited (NSE:SHALBY) ('Shalby'), a global multi-specialty hospital chain and one of India's leading orthopedic hospital groups, to conduct a multicenter clinical trial to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the mBôs TKA System. In January 2025, the Company shipped a robot to support clinical trial training. The robot was successfully shipped as planned, and an Investigator Meeting was conducted at a Shalby Hospital in Ahmedabad, India, from January 31 to February 1, 2025. The meeting was organized by Reliance Life Sciences, a subsidiary of Reliance Industries, and attended by principal investigators, multiple surgeons, and staff. The purpose of the meeting was to review study protocols, regulatory requirements, and operational procedures. Reliance Life Sciences, a Reliance Group company-one of India's largest private sector companies-is responsible for managing the regulatory submission and communications for the clinical trial in India. As the regulatory sponsor, Reliance Life Sciences is overseeing the submission process and engagement with India's regulatory authorities. Monogram has submitted its system for regulatory clearance to run the clinical trial and will provide updates as they occur. While regulatory timelines can be variable, the Company remains confident in its submission and the strength of its strategic partnerships with Reliance Life Sciences and Shalby to support the process. 'The Investigator Meeting was a successful milestone in the preparation for Monogram's clinical trial,' said Dr. Ajaykumar Yadav, Associate Vice President and Group Head of Clinical Research at Reliance Life Sciences. 'Bringing together key stakeholders, the meeting provided an opportunity for in-depth discussions on study protocols and a demonstration of the mBôs technology, reinforcing the collaborative approach to this clinical trial. Monogram has submitted a strong and comprehensive application, and we continue to support the regulatory process as expected. Reliance Life Sciences remains committed to advancing innovation in healthcare and looks forward to contributing to the successful execution of this study.' Monogram team in Ahmedabad, India, with various stakeholders for clinical trial Investigator Meeting from Jan 31 to Feb 1, 2025. Monogram continues to refine and enhance its next-gen technology in parallel with its regulatory and clinical trial preparations. The most significant advancement has been to the cutting system, which has facilitated an approximately 300% increase in feed rate. A video demonstrating these next-gen improvements is available below. Dr. Douglas Unis, Monogram's Chief Medical Officer, commented, 'The latest advancements in Monogram's robotic system are a game changer. The new cutting system enables cutting speeds that are becoming competitive with manual surgery while maintaining the accuracy and functionality expected from robotic-assisted procedures.

Is There An Opportunity With thyssenkrupp AG's (ETR:TKA) 33% Undervaluation?
The projected fair value for thyssenkrupp is €7.01 based on 2 Stage Free Cash Flow to Equity thyssenkrupp's €4.70 share price signals that it might be 33% undervalued Analyst price target for TKA is €5.13 which is 27% below our fair value estimate How far off is thyssenkrupp AG (ETR:TKA) from its intrinsic value? Using the most recent financial data, we'll take a look at whether the stock is fairly priced by taking the expected future cash flows and discounting them to their present value. One way to achieve this is by employing the Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) model. Believe it or not, it's not too difficult to follow, as you'll see from our example! We generally believe that a company's value is the present value of all of the cash it will generate in the future. However, a DCF is just one valuation metric among many, and it is not without flaws. For those who are keen learners of equity analysis, the Simply Wall St analysis model here may be something of interest to you. View our latest analysis for thyssenkrupp We are going to use a two-stage DCF model, which, as the name states, takes into account two stages of growth. The first stage is generally a higher growth period which levels off heading towards the terminal value, captured in the second 'steady growth' period. To begin with, we have to get estimates of the next ten years of cash flows. Where possible we use analyst estimates, but when these aren't available we extrapolate the previous free cash flow (FCF) from the last estimate or reported value. We assume companies with shrinking free cash flow will slow their rate of shrinkage, and that companies with growing free cash flow will see their growth rate slow, over this period. We do this to reflect that growth tends to slow more in the early years than it does in later years. A DCF is all about the idea that a dollar in the future is less valuable than a dollar today, so we need to discount the sum of these future cash flows to arrive at a present value estimate: 2025 2026 2027 2028 2029 2030 2031 2032 2033 2034 Levered FCF (€, Millions) -€433.7m -€830.0m €273.7m €306.1m €332.4m €353.5m €370.4m €383.9m €395.1m €404.4m Growth Rate Estimate Source Analyst x2 Analyst x1 Analyst x1 Est @ 11.82% Est @ 8.60% Est @ 6.35% Est @ 4.77% Est @ 3.67% Est @ 2.89% Est @ 2.35% Present Value (€, Millions) Discounted @ 6.8% -€406 -€727 €224 €235 €239 €238 €233 €226 €218 €209 ("Est" = FCF growth rate estimated by Simply Wall St)Present Value of 10-year Cash Flow (PVCF) = €689m The second stage is also known as Terminal Value, this is the business's cash flow after the first stage. For a number of reasons a very conservative growth rate is used that cannot exceed that of a country's GDP growth. In this case we have used the 5-year average of the 10-year government bond yield (1.1%) to estimate future growth. In the same way as with the 10-year 'growth' period, we discount future cash flows to today's value, using a cost of equity of 6.8%. Terminal Value (TV)= FCF2034 × (1 + g) ÷ (r – g) = €404m× (1 + 1.1%) ÷ (6.8%– 1.1%) = €7.1b Present Value of Terminal Value (PVTV)= TV / (1 + r)10= €7.1b÷ ( 1 + 6.8%)10= €3.7b The total value, or equity value, is then the sum of the present value of the future cash flows, which in this case is €4.4b. The last step is to then divide the equity value by the number of shares outstanding. Compared to the current share price of €4.7, the company appears quite good value at a 33% discount to where the stock price trades currently. Remember though, that this is just an approximate valuation, and like any complex formula - garbage in, garbage out. Now the most important inputs to a discounted cash flow are the discount rate, and of course, the actual cash flows. Part of investing is coming up with your own evaluation of a company's future performance, so try the calculation yourself and check your own assumptions. The DCF also does not consider the possible cyclicality of an industry, or a company's future capital requirements, so it does not give a full picture of a company's potential performance. Given that we are looking at thyssenkrupp as potential shareholders, the cost of equity is used as the discount rate, rather than the cost of capital (or weighted average cost of capital, WACC) which accounts for debt. In this calculation we've used 6.8%, which is based on a levered beta of 1.327. Beta is a measure of a stock's volatility, compared to the market as a whole. We get our beta from the industry average beta of globally comparable companies, with an imposed limit between 0.8 and 2.0, which is a reasonable range for a stable business. Strength Debt is not viewed as a risk. Weakness Dividend is low compared to the top 25% of dividend payers in the Metals and Mining market. Opportunity Expected to breakeven next year. Has sufficient cash runway for more than 3 years based on current free cash flows. Good value based on P/S ratio and estimated fair value. Threat Paying a dividend but company is unprofitable. Whilst important, the DCF calculation ideally won't be the sole piece of analysis you scrutinize for a company. The DCF model is not a perfect stock valuation tool. Instead the best use for a DCF model is to test certain assumptions and theories to see if they would lead to the company being undervalued or overvalued. For instance, if the terminal value growth rate is adjusted slightly, it can dramatically alter the overall result. What is the reason for the share price sitting below the intrinsic value?
