A cost-saving effort by NHS England to transition multiple sclerosis (MS) patients from Biogen Inc&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BIIB#NASDAQ">BIIB</a>) Tysabri (natalizumab) to the biosimilar drug Tyruko has led to significant side effects.
At Charing Cross Hospital in London, about 170 multiple sclerosis patients experienced complications, including relapses, mobility issues, fatigue, pain, and weight gain. Some cases were severe enough to require hospitalization.

According to The Guardian report, NHS England has been rolling out biosimilar drugs like Tyruko since April, aiming to cut costs by using alternatives to patented medications. Biosimilars are designed to be as effective and safe as the original drugs but are considerably cheaper—Tyruko costs an average of 72% <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/25/02/43673992/biogen-delivers-q4-beat-analyst-focuses-on-leqembi-expansion-2025-outlook" rel="noreferrer noopener">less than Tysabri</a>.
Sandoz Group AG (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SDZXF#OTC">SDZXF</a>) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SDZNY#OTC">SDZNY</a>), a generic spin-off of Novartis AG (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVS#NYSE">NVS</a>), manufactures Tyruko. As per The Guardian <a target="_blank" href="https://www.theguardian.com/society/2025/feb/24/ms-patients-suffer-side-effects-after-nhs-england-switches-to-cheaper-drug" rel="noreferrer noopener">report</a>, the initiative is part of a broader strategy to save $1.26 billion (1 billion pounds) over five years on medication expenses.
The extent of the issue remains unclear. NHS England has stated that problems have only been observed at Charing Cross, but one patient claims that individuals at 15 other hospitals have also experienced negative effects from the switch.
Approximately half of the NHS hospitals treating MS patients are currently participating in the transition to Tyruko.
Due to growing concerns, NHS England is now discussing with the Department of Health and Social Care and the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency to assess the situation and determine potential next steps.
Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust, which oversees Charing Cross Hospital, initially had 345 patients on Tysabri. When the transition to Tyruko began in May, the trust anticipated mild, short-term side effects but was unprepared for the severity and persistence of complications. About half of the affected patients reported worsening symptoms over several months. In response, all have now been switched back to Tysabri.
Price Action: BIIB stock is up 0.19% at $140.91 at the last check Monday.

Shares of US-listed Chinese stocks are trading lower after Wall Street had its worst session of the year on Friday, driven by inflation concern and mixed economic data. Also, weakness may be due to profit-taking after rallying last week.

CrowdStrike Holdings's Options Frenzy: What You Need to Know

Financial expert <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/02/43501133/suze-orman-sounds-alarm-on-retirement-readiness-40-of-retirees-lack-3-months-savings-heres-how-to-avoid-financial-risk">Suze Orman</a> recently highlighted the <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/avoid-costly-mistakes-make-sure-your-insurance-suze-orman-hmcgc">importance of keeping your insurance coverage up to date</a>—especially with natural disasters becoming more frequent. Even if your home or car is damaged, you still need to keep making your insurance payments.&nbsp;
Otherwise, you risk being left without coverage when you need it most. "Your policy must be ‘in force' when you are making claims," Orman warns. This is especially crucial for homeowners with mortgages, since lenders require active insurance.&nbsp;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Hidden Gaps in Your Insurance Policy&nbsp;</h2>
Not all insurance policies offer the same level of protection, and the details in the fine print can make a big difference.&nbsp;
Don't Miss:
<ul>
<li>If there was a new fund backed by Jeff Bezos offering a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/arrived-private-credit-fund">7-9% target yield with monthly dividends would you invest in it</a>?</li>
<li>Deloitte's fastest-growing software company partners with Amazon, Walmart &amp; Target – <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/mode-mobile-2">Many are rushing to grab 4,000 of its pre-IPO shares for just $0.26/share!</a></li>
</ul>
Homeowners insurance typically includes four types of coverage: Coverage A (Dwelling Coverage), Coverage B (Other Structures), Coverage C (Personal Property), and Coverage D (Loss of Use). The most important is Dwelling Coverage, which determines how much your insurer will pay if your home is damaged or destroyed.&nbsp;
Here's where things get tricky. Many homeowners have Actual Cash Value coverage, which only reimburses the depreciated value of a home or belongings. That means if your roof is 15 years old, you're only getting paid for what it's worth today—not what it would cost to install a new one.&nbsp;
"That's not good enough as it won't be enough to cover the current (think about inflation) cost to replace things," Orman said. This gap is becoming more of a problem as repair costs rise. <a href="https://home.treasury.gov/news/press-releases/jy2791#:~:text=WASHINGTON%20%E2%80%93%20The%20U.S.%20Department%20of,as%20the%20costs%20of%20climate%2D">According to the U.S. Treasury Department</a>, homeowners insurance premiums climbed an average of 8.7% per year between 2018 and 2022—outpacing inflation.&nbsp;
Trending: The average American couple has saved this much money for retirement —<a href="http://www.benzinga.com/money/smartasset"> How do you compare</a>?
A stronger option is Replacement Cost Value coverage, which reimburses homeowners based on today's prices. This ensures you can actually afford to rebuild or replace damaged property. Orman advised checking policy limits every year since construction costs continue to climb.&nbsp;
"There's typically a dollar limit to the total value of Replacement Cost coverage," she said. Some homeowners may even qualify for Extended Replacement Cost coverage, which pays 10% to 25% above the policy limit. This is especially valuable when natural disasters drive up the cost of labor and materials.&nbsp;
Auto insurance can have similar coverage gaps. Many drivers drop comprehensive coverage to save money, not realizing that if their car is damaged in a storm or stolen, they won't get a payout.&nbsp;

Suze Orman Warns Homeowners: 'Cash Value' Insurance Won't Cover Your Losses – Here's What You Need Before Disaster Strikes

Even as artificial intelligence industry remains concentrated in the hands of major corporations like OpenAI and Google, Shashank Sripada, co-founder of Gaia, believes that while these firms have built powerful models, their dominance is not guaranteed.
&#8220;Despite significant investment, being first to market doesn't ensure long-term success, just like we saw with Netscape and Internet Explorer,&#8221; he said, in an interview with Benzinga.
Sripada argues that the real value of AI will come not from large language models (LLMs) but from AI agents running a mix of open-source models. 
&#8220;Our focus is on helping institutions, enterprises, and individuals rapidly and affordably build and deploy AI agents, rather than competing in the LLM race,&#8221; he explained.
One of the biggest misunderstandings about AI, according to Sripada, is that most people equate AI solely with large language models like ChatGPT. 
&#8220;The public doesn't fully grasp what AI agents are,&#8221; he said. &#8220;LLMs have mostly been used for convenience, but true AI agents will go beyond simple tasks to interact with followers, assist businesses, and even generate revenue in real time,&#8221; he said.
Bias in AI models remains a major issue, particularly when models are trained and controlled by centralized entities. Sripada believes the best way to mitigate bias is to expand decentralization in AI development. 
&#8220;As long as LLMs are centrally controlled, bias is unavoidable,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Decentralized AI allows diverse models to flourish, ensuring a broader range of perspectives and reducing reliance on monopolistic players like OpenAI and Google.&#8221;
Gaia&#8217;s approach includes a token-based validation mechanism that enables users to verify AI models and their biases. &#8220;Our network lets users stake tokens to validate and certify AI agents, making bias and legitimacy more transparent,&#8221; Sripada added.
AI is not just changing the way people work but also reshaping business creation itself. 
Sripada envisions a future where AI agents replace traditional middlemen in industries ranging from finance to content creation. 
&#8220;AI agents will allow individuals to run businesses with efficiency levels previously reserved for hedge funds or major movie studios,&#8221; he said.
He likens this shift to YouTube's disruption of the entertainment industry. 
&#8220;YouTube democratized content creation away from big studios. AI will do the same for businesses, enabling individuals to compete on a global scale with minimal barriers to entry.&#8221;

A significant challenge in the AI space is data privacy and ownership. 
Sripada believes current tech giants have convinced users their data is worthless while profiting enormously from it. 
&#8220;Google and Facebook have made trillions off user data while convincing the public it has no value,&#8221; he said. 
&#8220;Decentralized AI will return ownership to individuals, ensuring they receive compensation when their data or ideas are used.&#8221;
Looking ahead, Sripada does not believe AI development will remain centralized. 
&#8220;While basic AI tools like ChatGPT might persist, real AI value will come from decentralized agents, which will be cheaper and more efficient,&#8221; he predicted.
He also believes tightening global regulations on AI will push more developers toward open-source, decentralized models. 
&#8220;Governments will continue regulating AI monetization, but decentralized networks will provide an alternative, preventing monopolistic control over human knowledge.&#8221;
Decentralized AI presents a viable alternative to the dominance of corporate-controlled artificial intelligence, but adoption is still in its early stages. 
Sripada emphasizes that the key to mass adoption lies in building accessible AI agents that empower individuals and businesses. &#8220;The AI revolution won't be about centralized LLMs,&#8221; he said. &#8220;It will be about AI agents that enable people to create, interact, and build in ways we have yet to imagine.&#8221;

Warren Buffett, legendary investor and CEO of Berkshire Hathaway, wants everyone to know that he remains a long-term bull on U.S. stocks.
"Despite what some commentators currently view as an extraordinary cash position at Berkshire, the great majority of your money remains in equities," Buffett said this in his new&nbsp;<a href="https://www.berkshirehathaway.com/letters/2024ltr.pdf">annual letter to Berkshire Hathaway shareholders</a>. "That preference won't change."
Buffett appears to be responding to the many news headlines emphasizing Berkshire's growing cash position. Here are a few from the past few weeks:
Why Is Warren Buffett Hoarding So Much Cash? &#8211;&nbsp;<a href="https://www.wsj.com/finance/stocks/warren-buffett-berkshire-hathaway-cash-annual-letter-2c956952">WSJ</a>
As investors await Warren Buffett's annual letter, is Berkshire Hathaway hoarding cash out of fear — or waiting for an opportunity? &#8211;&nbsp;<a href="https://fortune.com/2025/02/21/warren-buffett-annual-letter-berkshire-hathaway-hoarding-cash/">Fortune</a>
Warren Buffett Is Out of Step With Markets. Berkshire Hathaway Keeps Selling Stocks. &#8211;&nbsp;<a href="https://www.barrons.com/articles/warren-buffett-berkshire-hathaway-stocks-sales-portfolio-holdings-92567500">Barron's</a>
Warren Buffett's growing cash pile and 3 other things to watch for in Berkshire's investor letter &#8211;&nbsp;<a href="https://www.marketwatch.com/story/warren-buffetts-growing-cash-pile-and-3-other-things-investors-want-to-hear-about-in-berkshires-investor-letter-b9b4690e">MarketWatch</a>
Berkshire's cash pile grew to&nbsp;<a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/news/warren-buffett-says-berkshire-hathaway-did-better-than-i-expected-last-year-in-latest-letter-to-shareholders-151248284.html">$334 billion in 2024</a>, up from $167.6 billion the year prior.
Buffett acknowledges that the value of&nbsp;marketable&nbsp;equities — companies that continue to trade publicly in the stock market — held by Berkshire declined last year.
But he also takes a more holistic view of Berkshire's portfolio, which includes 189 companies that Berkshire owns. These are companies that don't trade on the stock market like GEICO, Precision Castparts, BNSF, Pilot Travel Centers, Clayton Homes, and Fruit of the Loom.
"While our ownership in marketable equities moved downward last year from $354 billion to $272 billion, the value of our non-quoted controlled equities increased somewhat and remains far greater than the value of the marketable portfolio," he wrote.
Businesses ‘usually find a way' &#x1f4aa;
Commentators can read into Berkshire's quarterly and annual tweaks however they like.
But Buffett's long-term optimism for American business hasn't changed, which is why he'd rather be invested in stocks over bonds or cash.
"Berkshire shareholders can rest assured that we will forever deploy a substantial majority of their money in equities – mostly American equities although many of these will have international operations of significance," Buffett wrote. "Berkshire will never prefer ownership of cash-equivalent assets over the ownership of good businesses, whether controlled or only partially owned."
Buffett's comments come as the U.S. debt and deficit — as well as the Trump administration's effort to address it all —&nbsp;<a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-02-21/senate-budget-vote-leaves-hurdles-for-trump-tax-cuts-debt-limit">dominate headlines</a>. Any development in this area has implications for&nbsp;<a href="https://www.tker.co/p/us-dollar-strength-headwind-context">the dollar</a>,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.tker.co/p/interest-rates-volatility-impact-stock-market">interest rates</a>, and&nbsp;<a href="https://www.tker.co/p/hot-economic-charts-that-cooled">economic activity broadly</a>.
"Paper money can see its value evaporate if fiscal folly prevails," he added. "In some countries, this reckless practice has become habitual, and, in our country's short history, the U.S. has come close to the edge. Fixed-coupon bonds provide no protection against runaway currency."
Businesses are not totally immune to emerging challenges. But history has shown repeatedly that they are quick to adapt and evolve in their relentless pursuit of growth. (We discussed this in&nbsp;<a href="https://www.tker.co/p/investing-risks-ceteris-paribus-all-else-equal">last week's TKer</a>.)
"Businesses, as well as individuals with desired talents, however, will usually find a way to cope with monetary instability as long as their goods or services are desired by the country's citizenry," Buffett said. "I have depended on the success of American businesses and I will continue to do so."
The long game is undefeated &#x1f52d;
None of this is to suggest stocks will only go up from here.
Buffett would be the first to tell you he has "<a href="https://www.tker.co/i/52908689/we-have-not-been-good-at-timing">not been good at timing</a>" the market.
In fact, one of his most bullish essays, a New York Times op-ed titled "<a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2008/10/17/opinion/17buffett.html">Buy American. I Am,</a>" came just before the S&amp;P 500 fell another 26% before the market bottomed in March 2009.
But the thesis of his piece ultimately held, and those who bought U.S. equities at the time did extraordinarily well in the years to follow.
The American brand of capitalism Buffett promotes isn't just about how companies are able to come up with great goods and services. Rather, it's about how they are unmatched at overcoming what often appear to be insurmountable challenges.
While investors should always&nbsp;<a href="https://www.tker.co/p/stock-market-down-days-drawdowns-down-years-normal">brace for short-term volatility</a>, they should also stay focused on&nbsp;<a href="https://www.tker.co/i/42137695/the-long-game-is-undefeated">the long game, which remains undefeated</a>.

The application was based on results from the three-arm Phase 3 CheckMate -8HW study, which demonstrated that Opdivo plus Yervoy&nbsp;met the dual primary endpoints of progression-free survival (PFS) compared to the investigator&#8217;s choice of chemotherapy in the first-line setting and compared to&nbsp;Opdivo&nbsp;monotherapy across all lines of therapy.
Opdivo&nbsp;plus&nbsp;Yervoy&nbsp;received FDA approval in July 2018 for adult and pediatric patients 12 years and older with MSI-H or dMMR mCRC that have progressed following treatment with fluoropyrimidine, oxaliplatin and irinotecan.&nbsp;
Opdivo&nbsp;plus&nbsp;Yervoy&nbsp;was also approved in December 2024 in the&nbsp;European Union&nbsp;for the first-line treatment of adult patients with MSI-H or dMMR unresectable or mCRC and in October 2024 for the same indication by the China National Medical Products Administration.
Last week, Bristol Myers announced the final analysis of overall survival (OS) from the Phase 3 CheckMate -816 study. The trial evaluated Opdivo (nivolumab) in combination with platinum-doublet chemotherapy as a neoadjuvant treatment for adult patients with resectable non-small <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43830315/bristol-myers-lead-cancer-drug-opdivo-in-combination-with-chemo-shows-improved-overall-survival-in-certain-patients-with-lung-cancer" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">cell lung cancer (NSCLC)</a>.
The results showed a statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement in overall survival, a key secondary endpoint, compared to neoadjuvant chemotherapy alone.
Price Action: Bristol Myers stock is up 2.97% at $57.49 at last check Monday.

Shares of Block Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XYZ#NYSE">XYZ</a>) continued to tank in early trading on Monday, after having <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/xyz">lost around 20% last week</a>.
The sell-off in the company's stock following the release of fourth-quarter results has created an "attractive entry point," according to BMO Capital Markets.
The Block Analyst: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/6203b5d2e008470001d757b2/rufus-hone">Analyst Rufus Hone</a> upgraded the rating for Block from Market Perform to Outperform, while raising the price target from $100 to $89.
The Block Thesis: While market sentiment is now "more balanced," there is less downside risk to Street estimates, Hone said in the upgrade note.
Check out <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings">other analyst stock ratings</a>.
Square appears well-positioned to benefit from "product innovations, incremental distribution enhancements, and the refreshed sales strategy," which could drive gross profit and gross payment volume higher, the analyst stated.
"Square&#8217;s 4Q24 GPV growth was a bright spot, coming in slightly better than expected (driven by better U.S. trends), while near-term GP growth expectations have moderated," he wrote.
Growth in Cash App's average revenue per user (ARPU) could remain robust, "driven by strong contributions from Cash App Borrow, BNPL, Cash App Pay and Afterpay on Cash App Card, underpinning a pronounced GP acceleration," Hone further said. The acceleration in gross profits could be back-end weighted, he added.
