Achilles Therapeutics Announces $12M AstraZeneca Deal, Plans Job Cuts

Palantir Technologies Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>) shares are hitting new highs on Tuesday. Here&#8217;s a look at <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/12/42668157/stanley-druckenmiller-dumps-streets-hottest-ai-stocks-heres-what-the-billionaire-investor-is-betting-on-next">what&#8217;s going on</a>. 
What To Know: Palantir shares are up more than 380% since the start of the year, driven largely by the company&#8217;s positioning in the AI space. 
The rally in Palantir shares accelerated at the beginning of November after the company reported&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/11/41730179/palantir-q3-earnings-revenue-beat-eps-beat-customers-up-39-raises-guidance-results-driven-by-unrele" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">strong quarterly results</a>&nbsp;driven by&nbsp;&#8220;unrelenting&#8221; AI demand.&nbsp;
Revenue jumped 30% year-over-year on continued strength in the U.S. and customer count grew 39% after the company closed 104 deals worth over $1 million during the quarter.
&#8220;The growth of our business is accelerating, and our financial performance is exceeding expectations as we meet an unwavering demand for the most advanced artificial intelligence technologies from our U.S. government and commercial customers,"&nbsp;Alex Karp, co-founder and CEO of Palantir, said in a letter to shareholders last month.

Over the weekend, the Financial Times <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/6cfdfe2b-6872-4963-bde8-dc6c43be5093">reported</a> that Palantir and defense technology company Anduril are communicating with several competitors about the potential of forming a consortium to make a joint bid on U.S. government contracts.
The report indicates that SpaceX and OpenAI are among the companies in talks to join. The group is planning to announce itself publicly as soon as January, people with knowledge of the matter said. 
"We are working together to provide a new generation of defense contractors," one person involved in organizing the group reportedly said. 
The Financial Times further reported that tie-ups between some tech groups expected to be involved with the consortium have already started. Palantir&#8217;s AI platform was integrated with Anduril&#8217;s autonomous software earlier this month and Anduril has linked its counter-drone systems with OpenAI models.
Palantir announced last week that it extended its long-standing partnership with the U.S. Army&nbsp;through 2028. The four-year agreement extension is valued at more than $400 million and has a total available ceiling of approximately $619 million. 
By leveraging Palantir&#8217;s software, the U.S. Army is able to create AI-enabled data solutions to analyze information from multiple data sources, enabling operational efficiencies and optimizing business processes.
PLTR Price Action: <a href="http://benzinga.com/quote/pltr">Palantir shares </a>were trading at all-time highs at last check. The stock was up 1.31% at $81.79 at the time of publication Tuesday, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>.

Palantir Stock Is Trading At All-Time Highs: What's Going On?

The Biden administration withdrew two major student loan forgiveness plans Friday, just weeks before President-elect Donald Trump returns to the White House. Here's a look at what it means for borrowers and student <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/12/42635567/biden-student-loan-forgiveness-tops-180-billion-with-latest-relief">loan service providers.</a> 
The Details: The Education Department posted notices in the Federal Register that it was withdrawing two proposals that could have reduced student loan debt for millions of borrowers, including those with financial hardship and those who have been in repayment for years, CNBC reported. 
Read Next: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/12/42669113/waymos-autonomous-vehicles-are-safer-than-human-drivers-report">Waymo&#8217;s Autonomous Vehicles Are Safer Than Human Drivers: Report</a>
The department wrote that it was withdrawing the proposed rules due to "operational challenges in implementing the proposals." It also said it would focus its resources on "helping at-risk borrowers return to repayment successfully" as the administration prepares to leave office in the next month.&nbsp;
"The Biden administration knew that the proposals for broad student loan forgiveness would have been thwarted by the Trump administration," higher education expert Mark Kantrowitz<a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/12/23/student-loan-forgiveness-plans-withdrawn-by-biden-administration.html"> told</a> CNBC.&nbsp;
What Else: Also on Friday, the Department of Education announced another $4.28 billion in<a href="https://www.ed.gov/about/news/press-release/biden-harris-administration-approves-additional-428-billion-student-debt-relief-nearly-55000-public-service-workers-0"> loan forgiveness</a> for nearly<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/student-debt"> 55,000 public service workers</a> which brought the total amount of student loan forgiveness under the Biden administration to $180 billion.
Education Secretary Miguel Cardona emphasized the administration's commitment to student loan relief for public service workers in a statement Friday. 
"Four years ago, the Biden-Harris Administration made a pledge to America&#8217;s teachers, service members, nurses, first responders, and other public servants that we would fix the broken Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program, and I&#8217;m proud to say that we delivered," Cardona said.
Loan Servicers: The administration's withdrawal of the additional loan forgiveness proposals is potentially a positive development for student loan providers including SoFi Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOFI#NASDAQ">SOFI</a>), Navient Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NAVI#NASDAQ">NAVI</a>) and SLM Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SLM#NASDAQ">SLM</a>)&nbsp;
Student loan providers would have lost revenue if Biden's student loan forgiveness plans had gone through. 
Additionally, the rollout of forgiveness programs often requires servicers to update systems, retrain staff and manage complex transitions, all of which would increase expenses.

Over the past year, OpenAI has dropped not-so-subtle hints about its revived interest in robotics: investing in startups developing hardware and software for robots such as Figure and Physical Intelligence and rebooting its internal robotics software team, which it had disbanded four years ago. Now, OpenAI could be taking that interest to the next level. The company has recently considered developing a humanoid robot, according to two people with direct knowledge of the discussions. &nbsp;As a refresher, humanoid robots typically have two arms and two legs, distinguishing them from typical robots in a warehouse or factory that might have a single arm repeatedly performing the same task on an assembly line. Developers of humanoid robots think it will be easier for them to handle tasks in the physical world—which is tailored to humans—than it would be to change our physical environments to suit new robots. Don't get too excited yet, though: Any potential humanoid robot seems to be a lower priority for OpenAI than a number of its other technologies and products, such as its highly praised reasoning models and an agent that could help automate all manner of software engineering and analysis tasks, one of these people said.

Brera Holdings Shares Halted On Circuit Breaker To the Upside, Stock Now Up 29.9%

According to widely-followed crypto influencer &#8216;artchick,&#8217; Dogecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/doge/usd">DOGE</a>) and Shiba Inu (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/shib/usd">SHIB</a>) will not be the main meme coin <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/bitcoin-price-prediction">beneficiaries of a rally</a>.
The influencer&#8217;s forecast hinges on Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) maintaining its momentum and Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) and Solana (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/sol/usd">SOL</a>) outperforming. 
Her top five include Pepe (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">PEPE</a>) with a $1 trillion target, Mog (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">MOG</a>) at $200 billion, Popcat (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">POPCAT</a>) and Bonk (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">BONK</a>) at $25 billion each. Among the newer entrant, Goatseus Maximus (CRYPTO: GOAT), Fartcoin also made it to the list. Artchick also added Dogwifhat (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">WIF</a>) with $25 billion price target to the list.
She says that while these valuations might feel absurd right now, crypto isn't operating on "normal cycles" anymore. "We're nearing escape velocity", and the market dynamics are evolving rapidly.
While ETH and SOL face inflation and execution risks, the meme coins traded on these chains are inherently different—they're pure, antifragile digital assets. 
By late 2025, the trader <a href="https://x.com/digitalartchick/status/1871365793596035105">believes</a> they'll be among the most sought after and resilient asset classes ever created.

Artchick emphasizes that meme coin investing requires careful position sizing to endure high volatility and sharp drawdowns. She explains: &#8220;If you're overexposed, you're not going to make it. Volatility and shakeouts strengthen these memes. See you at the top.&#8221;
Her analysis suggests meme coins could emerge as one of the most resilient and sought-after digital asset classes by 2025.

<li>Investments and Share Purchase Agreement ("SPA") – Brera Holdings has agreed to acquire a majority stake in Juve Stabia through share capital and reserve increases in the Club.&nbsp; These will be made by Brera via cash payments and issuances of BREA's shares in a three-step process that ensures a seamless transition and continuity in club management.

This approval marks a significant milestone in the company&#8217;s FDA-regulated clinical program, and the trial will be conducted at Yale School of Medicine&#8217;s Department of Psychiatry, led by Anahita Bassir Nia, an expert in psychiatry and addiction medicine.

Why Is Penny Stock Clearmind Gaining Today?

Solana&#8216;s (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/sol/usd">SOL</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/solana-price-prediction">growth over the past two years</a>, marked by a staggering 2,143% price increase, is rooted in a substantial $55 billion influx of new capital, according to a recent analysis by Glassnode.
The <a href="https://insights.glassnode.com/analyzing-the-movement-of-capital-across-the-solana-asset/?utm_campaign=SOL_Stage2&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_source=SOL_launch">report,</a> released earlier in the week, delves into the network's underlying dynamics, revealing robust investor demand that, despite profit-taking, hasn&#8217;t reached levels traditionally associated with market tops.
Solana's journey from a low of $9.64 following the FTX collapse to its current position as a major crypto contender is a story of notable recovery. 
The Glassnode report highlights this outperformance, noting that Solana has not only eclipsed Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) and Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) in price appreciation but has also consistently attracted more capital, capturing significant market attention. 
This surge is not merely speculative; it&#8217;s backed by a tangible shift in investor preference.
The analysis reveals a critical detail: new capital flowing into Solana is outpacing that of Ethereum for the first time. 
This is measured by the &#8220;Hot Realized Cap,&#8221; which tracks capital held by newly active addresses. 
The data underscores a growing appetite for Solana, particularly among new market entrants, a factor that propelled the asset&#8217;s growth at the start of 2024. 
This surge in capital inflow shows the network&#8217;s appeal.
Glassnode&#8217;s report goes on to track the on-chain capital flow, revealing a consistent net positive inflow into Solana since September 2023. 
This consistent liquidity injection has been the backbone of Solana's price appreciation, with daily inflows peaking at $776 million.
Also Read: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/12/42667932/did-vladimir-putin-just-ban-bitcoin-mining-in-russia-the-devil-is-in-the-details">Did Vladimir Putin Just Ban Bitcoin Mining In Russia? The Devil Is In The Details</a>
This indicates a healthy demand-side dynamic essential for sustaining growth.
The analysis also addresses the natural phenomenon of profit-taking that occurs during bull markets. 
Glassnode's breakdown shows a balanced distribution of profit taking across different investor cohorts, from short-term holders to those holding for longer periods of 6-12 months. 
This highlights the broad appeal of Solana as an investment for different types of market participants. 
As a result of these inflows, Solana has seen its Realized Cap rise from $22B to $77B.
Despite the rapid price increase, the report posits that the market isn&#8217;t overheated.
Using the MVRV ratio as a benchmark, the analysis notes that current investor profitability is within reasonable bounds, not yet reaching the extreme levels historically seen at market tops. 
This suggests that there is potential for further upward movement before the market becomes overextended.
Glassnode&#8217;s report portrays a market driven by solid capital inflows and a broad base of investors. 
Solana&#8217;s recovery is not just a story of price action, but also one of substantial liquidity and expanding adoption. 
While vigilance is needed, the current data suggests a sustainable growth trajectory, not an imminent bubble.

Solana Surged 2,000% In 2 Years, But It Could Go Even Higher: Report

Graphjet Technology Shares Halted On Circuit Breaker To The Upside, Stock Now Up 226%

Navitas Semiconductor's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVTS#NYSE">NVTS</a>) short percent of float has fallen 15.63% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 23.48 million shares sold short, which is 18.25% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 5.91 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>Navitas Semiconductor Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1735057821_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Navitas Semiconductor has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Navitas Semiconductor's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.
