Corsair Gaming Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRSR#NASDAQ">CRSR</a>) shares are trading lower in Thursday&#8217;s after-hours session after the company reported <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/07/b39847898/corsair-gaming-to-report-q2-2024-financial-results-on-august-1-provides-preliminary-q2-2024-result">preliminary results for the second quarter</a>.
What Happened: After the market close on Thursday, Corsair announced that it expects to report second-quarter revenue of approximately $261 million versus estimates of $319.977 million, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>. 
&#8220;The market for high-end self-built gaming PCs continues to be softer than expected as we are seeing consumers waiting for new GPUs to be launched at year-end. This has been somewhat offset by good activity in the entry-level market where gamers are using lower-cost GPUs and CPUs, but the net effect of this has been to lower market ASPs for some of the component categories we sell,&#8221; said Andy Paul, CEO of Corsair.
&#8220;Channel inventory has generally been reduced for our products, and so during&nbsp;Q2&nbsp;we sold into the channel substantially less than was sold out to consumers. Overall in the Gaming Components and Systems segment, this resulted in disappointing results for revenue and margins, but we do expect this to recover in the second half of 2024 and 2025.&#8221;
Corsair scheduled its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/earnings">second-quarter results</a> for Aug. 1. The company said it will hold a conference call to discuss its quarterly performance at 5 p.m. ET that day.
CRSR Price Action: Corsair Gaming shares were down 7.41% at $9 in after-hours trading after falling more than 5% in the regular session, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>.

The two weight-loss giants have seen their duopoly position threatened by the entry of new players. First, Pfizer Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PFE#NYSE">PFE</a>) and then Roche Holding Ltd (OTCPK: RHHBY) announced advancements in the development of obesity-fighting drugs. 
However, Pot shows cautiousness in these early findings. &#8220;The initial Roche data on oral small molecule GLP-1 agonist was encouraging but important to note the patient size was only 25, we expect further details in an upcoming medical meeting,&#8221; Pot stated. 
&#8220;Pfizer has had a number of prior setbacks with the early danuglipron formulation,&#8221; he said. This development suggests that Pfizer will now compete closely with Chugai Pharmaceuticals, the first-mover with its oral nonpeptide GLP-1 agonist, orforglipron, which sets a high bar.
&#8220;Pfizer&#8217;s focus on danuglipron is likely to temper any immediate interest in GLP-1 mergers and acquisitions,&#8221; Pot added.
Pot also foresees further developments from other companies, including AstraZeneca plc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AZN#NASDAQ">AZN</a>), indicating that the GLP-1 market could eventually include up to five credible players alongside Novo and Lilly.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Diversification Is Crucial In This Industry</h3>
Since the inception of the Tema GLP-1, Obesity and Cardiometabolic ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HRTS#NYSE">HRTS</a>) fund, Tema has consistently believed that the fast-evolving &#8220;GLP-1 market won&#8217;t be dominated by just two players.&#8221; 
Pot explained that the HRTS portfolio reflects this conviction, maintaining decent exposure to both NOVO and LLY while avoiding overly concentrated positions of 30-40% in these companies.
&#8220;The HRTS portfolio leverages Tema's deep biotech expertise to identify early emerging next-generation GLP-1 players beyond NOVO and LLY,&#8221; the expert said. 
Pot highlighted that Tema has been an early investor in several next-generation GLP-1 players such as Amgen Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMGN#NASDAQ">AMGN</a>), Terns Pharmaceuticals Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TERN#NASDAQ">TERN</a>), Chugai, Zealand Pharma A/S (OTCPK: ZLDFF), and Viking Therapeutics Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VKTX#NASDAQ">VKTX</a>).

EXCLUSIVE: Weight-Loss Duopoly Breaks As Eli Lilly, Novo Plummet; 'Market Won't Be Dominated By Just 2 Players'

Scholastic Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SCHL#NASDAQ">SCHL</a>) reported its fourth-quarter financial results Thursday. Here's a look at the key <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/07/n39847950/scholastic-reports-fourth-quarter-and-fiscal-2024-results">figures from the report.&nbsp;</a>
The Details: Scholastic reported quarterly earnings of $1.73 per share which missed the analyst consensus estimate of $2.66 by 34.96% and represents a 23.45% decrease in earnings from the same period last year.
Quarterly sales came in at $474.9 million which missed the analyst consensus estimate of $552.496 million by 14.04% and is a 10.11% decrease year-over-year.
&#8220;Scholastic made significant progress last quarter advancing our 360-degree content creation strategy, as we expand our opportunities as a global children&#8217;s media company,&#8221; said Peter Warwick, CEO of Scholastic.
&#8220;With the addition of the award-winning 9 Story Media Group to our portfolio, announced in March and closed last month, our new Scholastic Entertainment segment has gained industry-leading production, distribution and licensing capabilities, an extensive children&#8217;s content library, and a highly talented team,&#8221; Warwick added.

Outlook: Scholastic expects fiscal 2025 revenue growth of 4% to 6% and is targeting Adjusted EBITDA of $140 to $150 million, reflecting the partial-year contribution of 9 Story Media Group, partially offset by continuing spending on key growth initiatives and the impact of ongoing pressure on consumer and school spending. In its fiscal first quarter, the company expects a seasonal loss approximately in line with the prior year.
SCHL Price Action: According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/?gspk=YWRhbWVja2VydDUzMzY&amp;gsxid=zBMR4PKmcgBw">Benzinga Pro</a>, Scholastic Corporation shares are down 6.97% after-hours at $34.01 at the time of publication Thursday.

WDAY

On Friday, shares of Brambles Ltd (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BXBLY#OTC">BXBLY</a>) experienced volatile short activity. After the activity, the stock price went up +0.73% to $16.66.

The overall sentiment for BXBLY has been Bullish.

The signal from the volatility alert is trending Bearish. Therefore, the recommendation is to Strong Sell.

The volatility alert was produced on the prior trading date, 12/2/2022 with a volatility change of +330.45%. The current volatility indicator stands at 18.807.

Overview: The securities lending volatility indicator is produced by Tidal Markets, in partnership with Benzinga Insights. Securities lending primarily serves the purpose of providing liquidity to short sellers. When unusual activity occurs in the securities lending markets, it acts as an upstream indicator to what is likely to occur downstream in the regular stock market.

Understanding the Volatility Alert: Overall sentiment is considered &quot;bear&quot; when broad market activity of the stock has been shown to indicate a negative directional basis, or is considered &quot;bull&quot; when indicating a positive directional basis. The securities lending volatility indicator provides a signal when it detects unusual short activity. Unusual short activity is based off a computer generated algorithmic formula utilizing securities lending trade details such as the volume of shares being shorted, the rate being paid to short the shares, and the type of collateral being posted - amongst other variables. The current volatility is the respective trading day&#39;s calculated securities lending volatility value. The volatility percentage change is the percentage difference in volatility between the two most recent days. The recommendation is a suggestive strategy, inferred from the strength of the Signal Trending, Current Volatility, and Volatility % Change. Recommendations may include, &quot;Strong Buy&quot;, &quot;Strong Sell&quot;, &quot;Increase Short Exposure&quot;, &quot;Decrease Short Exposure&quot;, or &quot;Market Neutral&quot;.

A group of international companies with American Depositary Receipts (ADR) programs is set to provide investor updates this week at the <a href="https://onlinexperiences.com/scripts/Server.nxp?LASCmd=AI%3A4%3BF%3AAPIUTILS!51004&amp;PageID=41FD63B1-2CF7-42A0-9EE2-9A3B72307647&amp;AffiliateData=vicreg&amp;utm_source=Article&amp;utm_medium=Benzinga&amp;utm_campaign=DBVIC%20Nov%2018%2019%202020">Deutsche Bank ADR Virtual Investor Conference</a>, held in conjunction with Virtual Investor Conferences.&nbsp;

The two-day conference will begin on Wednesday, November 18, and play host to 13 multi-national companies from Asia, Europe, Africa, and Australia, each of which is set to give a half-hour presentation.&nbsp;

American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) are U.S. dollar-denominated instruments issued by a depositary bank (such as Deutsche Bank (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/db#NYSE">DB</a>)) that represent ownership of the underlying ordinary shares of a foreign company.&nbsp;

ADRs exist to allow U.S. investors to buy and sell shares of non-U.S. listed companies without having to create an overseas brokerage account.&nbsp;

Many foreign companies sponsor ADR programs to increase their ownership among U.S. investors, raise brand awareness, and improve liquidity. Other ADRs are unsponsored, meaning they were created by a depositary bank as a response to investor demand without the participation of the foreign company.&nbsp;

Here is the list of presenting companies. Each presentation will be recorded and available on demand to attendees.&nbsp;
