It also permits OPKO to maintain the full benefit of the $100 million of remaining potential milestone payments from Pfizer,&#8221; said Phillip Frost, M.D., CEO of Opko.
&#8220;Additionally, it provides non-dilutive capital and financial flexibility to advance our research and development activities including our multispecific antibody programs, as well as potentially to repurchase shares of our common stock and convertible notes."

Investors may view Intel as a safer option, compared to peers including Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, Ltd. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>) and NVIDIA Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), which depend on Taiwan for manufacturing.

Intel is set to report its second-quarter results on Aug. 1 after the closing bell. According to estimates from <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/?gspk=YWRhbWVja2VydDUzMzY&amp;gsxid=zBMR4PKmcgBw">Benzinga Pro</a>, analysts expect the company to report earnings of 10 cents per share and quarterly revenue of $12.948 billion.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">INTC Stock Prediction 2024</h1>
Equity research can be a valuable source of information for learning about a company's fundamentals. Analysts create financial models based on the fundamentals and expected future earnings of a company to arrive at a price target and recommendation for the stock.
Shares of Intel have an average 1-year price target of $34.86, representing an expected upside of 1.51%.
Because of differences in assumptions, analysts can arrive at very different price targets and recommendations. Four analysts have bearish recommendations on Intel, while one analyst has bullish ratings. The street high price target from Mizuho is $45, while the street low from Rosenblatt is $17.
INTC Price Action: According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/?gspk=YWRhbWVja2VydDUzMzY&amp;gsxid=zBMR4PKmcgBw">Benzinga Pro</a>, Intel Corporation ended Wednesday's session up 0.35% at $34.46.

1-800-Flowers.Com Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FLWS#NASDAQ">FLWS</a>) stock closed Wednesday at $10.00 per share, down more than 9%.
The company could miss the sales estimate for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024 and issue its fiscal 2025 guidance below Street expectations, according to DA Davidson.
The 1-800-Flowers Analyst: Linda Bolton Weiser downgraded coverage of 1-800-Flowers from Neutral to Underperform, while reducing the price target from $11 to $8.
The 1-800-Flowers Thesis: Bloomberg debit card data, which is 94% correlated to sales, indicates a decline of 15% year-on-year in sales in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024, versus a 13% decline in the prior quarter F3Q24, Weiser said in the downgrade note.
Check out <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings">other analyst stock ratings</a>.
This suggests that the consensus estimate of a 6% year-on-year decline in the fiscal fourth-quarter sales may prove to be too high, she added.
The University of Michigan consumer sentiment index, which is currently in the 60s-70s, needs to be consistently above 80 for 1-800-Flowers to return to low-single-digit sales growth, the analyst added.
"Consumers have tended to show up more on the big gift-giving holidays like Mother&#8217;s Day, but FLWS&#8217; everyday gifting business (which is the majority of sales) has been very anemic," she further wrote.
FLWS Price Action: Shares of 1-800-Flowershad declined by 9.09% to $10.00 at the time of publication on Wednesday.
