Palantir Technologies Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NYSE">PLTR</a>) Chief Technology Officer Shyam Sankar highlighted the limitations of automation in enterprise artificial intelligence, as the data analytics firm faces renewed scrutiny over its soaring valuation and recent institutional selling.
What Happened: &#8220;If all of the value is in automation, what have we been doing for the last 20 years with self-driving cars? We&#8217;ve been handling edge cases,&#8221; Sankar stated, emphasizing that automation&#8217;s effectiveness is constrained by exceptional scenarios that require human oversight.

Palantir CTO Shyam Sankar Challenges Automation's Potential As Selling Pressure Mounts: 'What Have We Been Doing For 20 Years?'

Avadel Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVDL#NASDAQ">AVDL</a>) slipped by 25.63% in after-hours on Wednesday after it missed the fourth quarter sales estimate by 5.12%. Still, the sales of its narcolepsy drug, LUMRYZ rose by 150% on an annual basis.
What Happened: The preliminary earnings results for the fourth quarter pegged a 150% increase in net product revenue to $50 million, as compared to $19.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2023. This missed the consensus analyst estimate by 5.12%, which was <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/AVDL/earnings">expected </a>to be $52.7 million, according to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/AVDL/earnings">Benzinga</a>.
The biopharmaceutical company is focused on treating cataplexy, excessive daytime sleepiness, and other sleep disorders in adults and children above seven.
The company reported a full-year net product revenue of approximately $169 million compared to $28 million in 2023. Its cash flow from operations stood at approximately $73 million for the quarter ended Dec. 31, 2024.
Greg Divis, CEO of Avadel Pharmaceuticals, highlighted 2024 as a pivotal year, emphasizing the consistent patient adoption of LUMRYZ and the overwhelmingly positive feedback from both patients and providers regarding the life-changing benefits of its once-nightly dosing regimen.
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/market-summary/25/01/42871340/regional-banks-can-thrive-despite-big-bank-dominance-truist-securities-highlights-three-key-paths-for-thriving-regional-banks">Regional Banks Can Thrive Despite Big Bank Dominance: Truist Securities Highlights Three Key Paths For Thriving Regional Banks</a>
Why It Matters: There was a 275% increase from 900 patients on LUMRYZ in 2023 to 2,500 in 2024. According to its press release, demand continued across all three patient segments in the fourth quarter, with 34% of patients being new to oxybates and 38% switching from first-generation oxybates.
The company expects the net product revenue for 2025 in the range of $240 million to $260 million, representing a 50% increase at the midpoint of guidance from 2024 and a positive cash flow of $20 million – $40 million.
Divis added that moving into 2025, the company is refining its strategy to increase LUMRYZ&#8217;s demand and aiming to drive uptake across all narcolepsy patient segments. &#8220;We&#8217;re well-positioned to lead in the sleep space and transform care for patients with sleep disorders.&#8221; he said.
Price Action: Avadel shares have fallen by 32.72% over the last six months, underperforming the Nasdaq Biotechnology Index, which fell by 5.07% in the same period. Furthermore, the exchange-traded fund tracking the index, iShares Biotechnology ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IBB#NASDAQ">IBB</a>) fell 2.9% over the last six months.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a> data, AVDL has a consensus price target of $20.9 per share, with a &#8216;buy&#8217; rating based on the ratings of 10 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/SERV/analyst-ratings">analysts</a>. The highest price target out of all the analysts tracked by Benzinga is $30 issued by Oppenheimer as of Oct. 31, 2024. The lowest target price is $11 per share issued by Jefferies on Nov. 30, 2024.
The average price target between HC Wainwright &amp; Co., Needham, and Needham implies an 189.31% upside for AVDL.

A major BlackRock Inc.&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BLK#NYSE">BLK</a>) fund is confronting a loss exceeding $600 million tied to its investment in the insurance outsourcing firm, Alacrity. This development emerges amid the company&#8217;s ongoing debt challenges.
What Happened: A consortium of private credit funds, including&nbsp;Antares Capital,&nbsp;Blue Owl Capital,&nbsp;KKR, and&nbsp;Goldman Sachs Asset Management, has&nbsp;agreed to take control of&nbsp;Alacrity. BlackRock had acquired a controlling interest in Alacrity&nbsp;in February 2023 through its&nbsp;$4.3 billion&nbsp;Long Term Private Capital strategy, purchasing it from private equity firm&nbsp;Kohlberg &amp; Co., Financial Times <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/26148be7-38de-40ea-8432-84bf947c1ba3">reported</a> on Thursday.
BlackRock&#8217;s equity investment in Alacrity, valued at over $600 million, will be eliminated&nbsp;as part of the restructuring,&nbsp;as reported by sources familiar with the situation. At the time of BlackRock&#8217;s investment, Alacrity had approximately $1 billion in senior debt and $500 million in junior debt, the latter provided by Goldman's asset management division.
The restructuring plan involves converting these debts into a new $450 million term loan and $250 million in preferred equity. Senior lenders will acquire 90% ownership of the company post-restructuring, while Goldman Sachs Asset Management will hold the remaining 10%.
BlackRock has yet to respond to<a href="https://pro.benzinga.com"> Benzinga</a>&#8216;s queries.
Why It Matters: The timing of this financial loss is critical for BlackRock as it prepares to release its fourth-quarter earnings on Jan. 15. Analysts anticipate the company will report earnings of $11.38 per share, a significant increase from $9.66 per share in the previous year. Revenue is projected to reach $5.63 billion, up from $4.63 billion a year earlier. This restructuring loss could impact investor sentiment and the company&#8217;s financial outlook.
Moreover, BlackRock&#8217;s recent definitive agreement to acquire&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/01/42888338/blackrock-earnings-are-imminent-these-most-accurate-analysts-revise-forecasts-ahead-of-earnings-call">HPS Investment Partners</a>&nbsp;for approximately $12 billion underscores its strategic moves to expand its investment capabilities. The Alacrity restructuring, however, highlights the risks inherent in such large-scale investments and the challenges of managing debt-laden assets.

BlackRock Reportedly Faces $600 Million Loss In Alacrity Restructuring Ahead Of Earnings Report

Do Kwon, co-founder of disgraced Terraform Labs, will face trial in a year&#8217;s time for his alleged role in the $40 billion criminal fraud case involving the collapse of Terra Classic (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">LUNC</a>) and sister stablecoin TerraUSD (USTC), according to a report on Wednesday.
What Happened: U.S. District Judge Paul Engelmayer set a trial date for Jan. 26, 2026, in New York, <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-01-08/terraform-s-do-kwon-to-face-2026-trial-in-ny-on-us-fraud-charges">expected </a>to last for four to eight weeks, Bloomberg reported.
Kwon has been <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/01/42773042/terra-lunas-do-kwon-to-face-criminal-fraud-charges-in-us">accused of various counts of commodities fraud</a>, conspiracy, securities fraud, and wire fraud in connection with the collapse of LUNC and stablecoin TerraUSD in 2022, which caused an estimated $40 billion loss.
The drop had far-reaching consequences, undermining investor confidence and resulting in prolonged months of lower valuations, also known as a bear market.

Kwon was extradited from Montenegro to face these charges in a U.S. court. He pleaded not guilty to these charges.
Do Kwon&#8217;s extradition <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42758091/terra-classic-token-rallies-as-terraform-labs-do-kwon-extradited-to-the-us-from-montenegro">ended a legal tug-of-war</a> between the U.S. and South Korea, his native country, over competing extradition requests.
Price Action: At the time of writing, LUNC was exchanging hands at $0.0001036, down 2.77% in the last 24 hours, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?_gl=1&#x2A;380nj0&#x2A;_ga&#x2A;MTEyOTAyOTcxMy4xNzEzMzY0NTYy&#x2A;_ga_V7ZK73W7N0&#x2A;MTcxNDk4MzIzMi42LjEuMTcxNDk4OTE0Ni4wLjAuMA.." target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">data from Benzinga Pro</a>. The coin has lost nearly 20% of its value in the last month.

Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) CEO Mark Zuckerberg's accusation of censorship has been firmly denied by the European Commission.
What Happened: On Wednesday, the European Commission dismissed claims by Meta that EU data laws censor social media, reported Reuters.
The Commission stated that their regulations only mandate the removal of illegal content. &#8220;We absolutely refute any claims of censorship,&#8221; said a Commission spokesperson.

Zuckerberg had criticized European laws, stating they hinder innovation by institutionalizing censorship. In response, the Commission said that the Digital Services Act does not compel platforms to remove lawful content but targets harmful material.
Meta has decided to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42851889/meta-ditches-fact-checking-for-community-notes-zuckerberg-says-opportunity-to-restore-free-expression">eliminate fact-checkers</a> for its platforms in the U.S., opting for a &#8220;community notes&#8221; system similar to that used by Elon Musk's X.
The European Commission noted that for such a system to operate in the EU, platforms must conduct risk assessments and submit them to the EU executive.
Subscribe to the <a href="https://bztechtrends.beehiiv.com/subscribe">Benzinga Tech Trends newsletter</a> to get all the latest tech developments delivered to your inbox.
Why It Matters: The tension between Meta Platforms and the European Union is not new. In November 2024, the European Commission imposed an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/24/11/41981957/meta-hit-with-841-million-eu-fine-over-antitrust-violations-tied-to-facebook-marketplace">$841 million fine</a> on Meta for antitrust violations related to Facebook Marketplace.
Later in December, Meta faced another setback when the Irish Data Protection Commission fined the company <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42537434/meta-fined-264-million-over-2018-facebook-data-breach-in-europe">$264 million over a 2018 data breach</a>.&nbsp;
Price Action: Meta's stock closed Wednesday's trading session down 1.16%, finishing at $610.72. In after-hours trading, the shares dipped an additional 0.34%, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro data</a>.

Mark Zuckerberg Accuses EU Of Censorship, Spokesperson Pushes Back On Meta's Allegations: 'We Absolutely Refute Any Claims'

Tesla Inc.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) inventory in the U.S. now shows non-foundation series Cybertrucks listed together with the more premium foundation series of the vehicle.
What Happened: At the start of the week, Tesla had only foundation series Cybertrucks listed on its inventory. 
The foundation series refers to a limited and pricier edition of the Cybertruck with laser-etched foundation series badges and premium accessories.
Tesla made only the foundation series Cybertrucks for the first few months of deliveries. In October, Tesla started selling the regular version of Cybertruck priced about $20,000 lower than the foundation series.
Tesla&#8217;s inventory now shows multiple non-foundation series Cybertrucks, priced lower than the foundation series offerings. While the non-foundation series all-wheel drive variant of the Cybertruck has a starting price of $79,990, the non-foundation series Cyberbeast variant of the truck starts at $99,990. 
Why It Matters: Benzinga first noted the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/24/12/42524912/teslas-99k-foundation-series-cybertrucks-still-available-a-sign-of-possible-demand-hurdles" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">foundation series Cybertrucks in Tesla's inventory</a>&nbsp;in mid-December. Tesla has, since then, added offers&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/24/12/42712707/tesla-offers-free-lifetime-supercharging-with-foundation-series-cybertruck-as-it-looks-to-clear-inventory" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">including free supercharging</a>&nbsp;on the vehicle if the order is placed on or after Dec. 27. The offer, it then said, will only be available for a limited time.
However, a week later, there are still foundation-series Cybertrucks left in the inventory and the company is continuing to offer free supercharging during the period of initial ownership, hinting that potential customers might be unwilling to<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/24/11/41873767/cybertruck-likely-wont-be-profitable-in-q4-says-tesla-researcher" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">&nbsp;pay a premium for the stainless steel truck.</a>

Sanofi's Sarclisa Subcutaneous Formulation Achieves Co-Primary Endpoints In IRAKLIA Phase 3 Trial For Multiple Myeloma Treatment

The International Longshoremen&#8217;s Association and U.S. Maritime Alliance reached a tentative six-year master contract agreement on Wednesday, averting potential supply chain disruptions at East Coast and Gulf ports ahead of the Jan. 15 deadline.
The deal, which requires ratification from both parties, notably includes compromises on port automation while preserving labor protections. 
Sources familiar with the negotiations <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/01/08/union-dockworkers-port-employers-announce-tentative-labor-deal-at-east-coast-and-gulf-ports.html">told</a> CNBC that while full automation was excluded, USMX members gained the flexibility to implement modernization technologies, with guaranteed ILA positions tied to new equipment deployments.
A technology committee, including ILA President Harold Daggett and other union and port representatives, will oversee future technological implementations. The arrangement aims to enhance port efficiency and capacity while maintaining strong labor relations through 2031.
Both organizations stated in a joint announcement that the agreement &#8220;creates ILA jobs, supports American consumers and businesses, and keeps the American economy the key hub of the global marketplace.&#8221; Specific terms remain undisclosed pending member review and ratification votes, for which dates have not been set.

East Coast Ports Avoid Disruptions As Union, Maritime Alliance Reach 6-Year Deal On Automation, Labor Protections

Elon Musk&#8216;s rocket manufacturing company SpaceX said on Wednesday that it is preparing to launch its ambitious Starship launch vehicle on its seventh flight test as soon as Monday, Jan. 13. 
What Happened: The launch window opens at 4:00 p.m. CT on Monday. However, the company warned that the schedule is also likely to change. 
SpaceX has previously said that its Starship vehicle, currently undergoing testing and development, will launch from Starbase in Texas for its seventh flight test carrying 10 Starlink simulators which are similar in size and weight to the company&#8217;s next-generation Starlink satellites in a bid to demonstrate its capabilities in the satellite launch segment.
For the upcoming flight, SpaceX is looking to catch the two-stage vehicle's booster back at the launch pad at Starbase with the launch tower's metallic arms like on its fifth test flight in October. However, in case of any safety concerns, the company will splash it down in the Gulf of Mexico, it said.
The spacecraft, meanwhile, is slated to be splashed down in the Indian Ocean on the upcoming test.
While SpaceX has conducted 6 test flights of its ambitious launch vehicle to date, none of them carried any payload. The last test flight of Starship was in November.
Why It Matters:&nbsp;Starship is key to many big ambitions in the field of space exploration.

Since then, no crew has traveled beyond low-Earth orbit.
In December, Musk pegged the seventh flight test of Starship for Jan. 10. However, earlier this week, Musk said the launch date has been <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/space/25/01/42866518/spacexs-starship-7th-test-flight-delayed-says-elon-musk-now-expected-next-week">pushed to next week</a>. The CEO did not provide any reasons for the delay.
