Even With A Looming Rate Hike, Enthusiasm For These ETFs Wanes

Marvell Technology Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRVL#NASDAQ">MRVL</a>) shares are trading higher by 0.99% to $116.35 during Wednesday&#8217;s session amid the broader market&#8217;s positive reaction to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/01/43003047/stocks-rise-on-core-inflation-slowdown-banks-rally-after-strong-q4-earnings-treasury-yields-plummet">December inflation data</a>.
The report showing slowing underlying price pressures is a positive signal for the broader economy, fueling investor optimism that the Federal Reserve may soon implement further rate cuts. 
What Else: For Marvell, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/01/43001512/inflation-rises-to-29-in-december-core-slows-yet-rising-energy-costs-put-feds-target-at-risk">lower interest rates</a> reduce the cost of capital and could help spur investment in data centers, cloud computing, and 5G technologies—key areas in which Marvell plays a crucial role. 
As a semiconductor supplier that powers these industries, Marvell stands to gain from increased demand as businesses expand their infrastructure in response to favorable economic conditions.
Additionally, with semiconductor stocks often benefiting from a lower cost of financing, Marvell could see further upside as the probability of rate cuts in 2025 rises.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy MRVL Stock</h2>
By now you're likely curious about how to participate in the market for Marvell Technology &#8211; be it to purchase shares, or even attempt to bet against the company.
Buying shares is typically done through a brokerage account. You can find a list of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-stock-trading-platforms">possible trading platforms here.</a> Many will allow you to buy ‘fractional shares,' which allows you to own portions of stock without buying an entire share. For example, some stock, like Berkshire Hathaway, or Amazon.com, can cost thousands of dollars to own just one share. However, if you only want to invest a fraction of that, brokerages will allow you to do so. 
In the the case of Marvell Technology, which is trading at $116.72 as of publishing time, $100 would buy you 0.86 shares of stock.
If you're looking to bet against a company, the process is more complex. You'll need access to an options trading platform, or a broker who will allow you to ‘go short' a share of stock by lending you the shares to sell. The process of shorting a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock">stock can be found at this resource.</a> Otherwise, if your broker allows you to trade options, you can either buy a put option, or sell a call option at a strike price above where shares are currently trading &#8211; either way it allows you to profit off of the share price decline.
According to data from&nbsp;<a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro</a>, MRVL has a 52-week high of $126.12 and a 52-week low of $53.19.

Defense stocks are moving slightly lower Wednesday after Israel and Hamas verbally agreed on a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43011383/israel-gaza-ceasefire-hostage-exchange">ceasefire in Gaza</a>.
What Happened: Hamas accepted a draft agreement on Wednesday for a ceasefire in Gaza that includes the release of several hostages, according to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43011383/israel-gaza-ceasefire-hostage-exchange">multiple reports</a>. 
The agreement follows months of negotiations and paves the way for a potential end to the ongoing war in the Middle East that began about 15 months ago. The verbal agreement also comes just days before President-elect Donald Trump&#8217;s inauguration. 
&#8220;We have a deal for the hostages in the Middle East. They will be released shortly. Thank you!&#8221; Trump&nbsp;said in a post on Truth Social.
The deal reportedly includes a six-week ceasefire and the release of 33 Israeli hostages in exchange for the release of Palestinian prisoners. Israel still needs to ratify the deal, but a vote is expected by Thursday.

At the time of writing, Lockheed Martin shares were down about 0.7%, while Northrop Grumman and RTX shares were down about 0.8%. It&#8217;s worth noting that the SPDR S&amp;P 500 (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) was up 1.77% at last check.
Defense stocks have benefitted from the ongoing war in the Middle East with the Global X Funds Defense ETF having gained more than 35% over the past year, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>.

Defense Stocks Fall On Gaza Ceasefire While Broader Market Rallies: What's Going On?

Denali Therapeutics Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DNLI#NASDAQ">DNLI</a>) CEO Ryan Watts presented at the J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference.&nbsp;
The presentation primarily focused on&nbsp;the company&#8217;s blood-brain-barrier (BBB) crossing platform technology and the pipeline, including tividenofusp alfa (tivi, DNL310) in Hunter syndrome and DNL126 in Sanfilippo syndrome Type A,&nbsp;as well as ATV:Abeta approach in Alzheimer&#8217;s disease.
Also Read: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/25/01/42856965/denali-therapeutics-amyotrophic-lateral-sclerosis-misses-pivotal-trial-but-analyst-says-it-was-expected" rel="noreferrer noopener">Denali Therapeutics&#8217; Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Misses Pivotal Trial, But Analyst Says It Was Expected</a>
JP Morgan notes that the management believes each TV franchise has the potential to generate over $3 billion in value.
The analyst views Denali Therapeutics as being in the early stages of unlocking the full potential of its BBB TV platform across various applications, maintaining the stock&#8217;s Overweight rating.
Ahead of the conference, DNL310 received Breakthrough Therapy Designation in Hunter Syndrome and is on track to file a BLA for accelerated approval in early 2025. Based on this timeline, JP Morgan expects a potential late-2025/early 2026 launch.
<ul>
<li>The company is gearing up for commercialization and product launch, focusing initially on the U.S. market. Management estimates there are approximately 400-500 patients in the U.S.</li>
<li>Meanwhile, the Phase 2/3 COMPASS trial has completed enrollment for neuronopathic participants in cohort A. Both study cohorts are expected to have simultaneous results, but no timeline for the readout has been provided. Globally, management estimates around 2,000 patients.</li>
</ul>
On DNL126, the management did not share detailed data but emphasized promising results from the Phase 1/2 trial in Sanfilippo syndrome Type A.
These include DNL126&#8217;s ability to normalize CSF HS levels. Building on these findings and insights from DNL310, the company is working to speed up DNL126&#8217;s development timeline.
To support this, they expanded the Phase I/II trial from two to five cohorts, aiming for a faster approval pathway. Management estimates a global patient population of over 1,500.
JP Morgan also notes that Denali Therapeutics has a manufacturing facility. While it won&#8217;t be used for the commercial launch of Tivi in Hunter syndrome, it is expected to support the company&#8217;s other programs.
As of September 30, 2024, cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities were approximately $1.28 billion. Denali anticipates its cash runway <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/01/g42942702/denali-therapeutics-announces-key-anticipated-2025-milestones-and-priorities-to-further-advance-it" rel="noreferrer noopener">will extend into 2028</a>.
Price Action: DNLI stock is up 14.60% at $21.48 at the last check on Wednesday.

Morgan <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/01/b42885696/scholar-rock-highlights-2025-strategic-priorities" rel="noreferrer noopener">Healthcare Conference</a>.
The discussions mainly focused on apitegromab for spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), including its label if approved. They also covered commercial aspects such as the prevalence of SMA, the potential market, and factors influencing its adoption.

<ul>
<li>Regarding apitegromab in SMA, the company plans to submit U.S. and European marketing applications in the first quarter of 2025, aiming for a potential U.S. launch in the fourth quarter of 2025, followed by a European launch.</li>
<li>Detailed results from the phase 3 SAPPHIRE trial, which involves patients with non-ambulatory type 2/3 SMA treated with Spinraza (nusinersen) or Evrysdi (risdiplam), are expected to be presented at medical meetings in 2025.</li>
<li>By mid-2025, the company aims to start the phase 2 OPAL trial, focusing on patients under 2 years old to understand how the drug behaves and guide dosing.</li>
<li>Regarding the addressable market, the company estimates the current SMA market at around $4.5 billion across three SMN-targeted therapies, mainly in the 2-21-year-old age group. They now expect apitegromab to reach over $2 billion in global revenue, an increase from previous estimates of $1 billion, driven by strong data and a favorable competitive landscape.</li>
</ul>
The analyst also discussed the upcoming results from the Phase 2 EMBRAZE trial, which is evaluating apitegromab combined with tirzepatide or semaglutide in adults who are overweight or obese. The data is expected in the second quarter of 2025.
JP Morgan remains positive on Scholar Rock (<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/SRRK/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Overweight rating</a>), as the recent SAPPHIRE trial results have unlocked strong growth potential for apitegromab in spinal muscular atrophy. The company could enter the commercial stage by 2025, and the analyst expects a strong product launch.
The analyst also sees potential for further value in the stock if the cardiometabolic data shows positive results, with initial data expected in the second quarter of 2025.
Price Action: SRRK stock is up 4.89% at $43.56 at last check Wednesday.

Scholar Rock Sets Sights on $2 Billion Apitegromab Revenue Amid Spinal Muscular Atrophy Market Growth

Just before the JP Morgan healthcare conference, Eli Lilly and Co&nbsp;(NYSE:&nbsp;LLY) announced that it expects 2024 full-year worldwide revenue to be approximately&nbsp;$45.0 billion, representing a 32% growth compared to the previous year versus the&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42976923/eli-lilly-expects-around-55-billion-sales-from-weight-lossdiabetes-drugs-with-overall-topline-growth-of-32-issues-2025-forecast" rel="noreferrer noopener">consensus of $45.50 billion</a>.
The company's expected 2024 revenue is&nbsp;$400 million, or about 3%, below the guidance range issued during the&nbsp;third-quarter earnings. The guidance includes approximately&nbsp;$3.5 billion&nbsp;for Mounjaro and $1.9 billion&nbsp;for Zepbound.
During the conference, David Ricks outlined two reasons for the guidance update:
<ul>
<li>The diabetes GLP market, in December, outperforms the rest of the quarter and in year this did not happen&#8230;The CEO said this could be just a guess. The company said it did not predict it. "This year that didn't happen in GLP-1," said Ricks, who speculated that changes in Medicare Part D and insurance edits have prevented patients from doubling up their prescriptions at the end of the year to avoid deductible costs early in the following year."</li>
<li>Stocking levels were a big discussion during Q3 results. The company dropped about 8 selling days in that quarter alone. The company expected a buildback at the end of the year because every year, a couple of days of buildback happen, and it did not happen this year.</li>
</ul>
Regarding the guidance approach, the CEO noted, "The scale of this business and the way it's been growing, the consumer part of it, along with the stocking dynamics, it's just been a learning [experience] for us," Ricks said. "Our forecasters really nailed the rest of the portfolio. We don't have a problem with forecasting. It's just, this market is quite different."
Goldman analyst Chris Shibutani writes, "We expect this preliminary 4Q results to heighten concerns relating to underlying demand dynamics, which initially emerged at a broader level amongst investors during the 3Q results and guidance update."
Price Action: LLY stock is up 0.59% at $749.28 at the last check on Wednesday.

What's Going On With BIO-Key International Stock Wednesday?

Morpheus, a platform focused on launching Smart Agents, has introduced a $10 million rewards program in its native MOR token specifically designed for its community of builders.
This initiative, which went live on the Base network, follows a similar rewards program for AI Compute Providers, a step forward in Morpheus&#8217; ongoing strategy to develop an economic ecosystem for decentralized AI.
The move is aimed at attracting developers to build and contribute to the platform, particularly in the rapidly growing field of AI agents.
The builder rewards program incentivizes developers to create various components for the Morpheus platform, including Smart Agents themselves, user interfaces, decentralized applications (dApps), and other tools. 
This structure is intended to encourage a vibrant and multifaceted ecosystem that supports all aspects of agent creation and deployment. 
Morpheus is positioning itself as an all-in-one platform, emphasizing its ability to offer developers access to funding, computation, and streamlined agent deployment, aiming to provide an advantage over other projects that only focus on a single area.
Central to Morpheus&#8217; system is its four-pronged approach, which recognizes contributions from code, capital, compute and builders.

The rewards system seeks to compensate all participants equitably in MOR tokens, promoting a self-sustaining ecosystem. 
Moreover, holders of the MOR token are entitled to a share of the network's compute power, allowing agents continuous access to resources. 
The tokenomics of the network is designed to support the development of decentralized AI applications, with the long term goal of fostering a broad community around the project.
According to Morpheus open-source contributor David Johnston, this launch positions Morpheus at the forefront of the current AI agent expansion, welcoming agents from diverse chains and frameworks. 
This is intended to be a move towards a more universal platform for AI agent creation. 
The underlying incentive is that this allows compute and builder tokenomics to work together efficiently to reward developers fairly and in a permissionless fashion.
Morpheus operates as a decentralized AI network that optimizes the use of computational power. 
It offers users a ChatGPT-like interface that allows interaction via decentralized data routing. 
The network also provides access to personal AIs, facilitates crypto payments for AI services, features an AI marketplace, and allows for generating images via multiple Large Language Models (LLMs). 
The platform is supported by an open-source community, as well as partnerships with projects like Lumerin. 
The core of the offering is that it provides a wide ranging set of tools to work within this decentralized AI ecosystem.

In the current market session, MGM Resorts Intl Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MGM#NYSE">MGM</a>) price is at $33.75, after a 1.96% spike. However, over the past month, the stock decreased by 1.66%, and in the past year, by 22.45%. Shareholders might be interested in knowing whether the stock is undervalued, even if the company is performing up to par in the current session. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1736968542_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>MGM Resorts Intl P/E Ratio Analysis in Relation to Industry Peers</h3>
The P/E ratio measures the current share price to the company's EPS. It is used by long-term investors to analyze the company's current performance against it's past earnings, historical data and aggregate market data for the industry or the indices, such as S&amp;P 500. A higher P/E indicates that investors expect the company to perform better in the future, and the stock is probably overvalued, but not necessarily. It also could indicate that investors are willing to pay a higher share price currently, because they expect the company to perform better in the upcoming quarters. This leads investors to also remain optimistic about rising dividends in the future. 
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of the 80.1 in the Hotels, Restaurants &amp; Leisure industry, MGM Resorts Intl Inc. has a lower P/E ratio of 11.86. Shareholders might be inclined to think that the stock might perform worse than it's industry peers. It's also possible that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1736968542_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In summary, while the price-to-earnings ratio is a valuable tool for investors to evaluate a company's market performance, it should be used with caution. A low P/E ratio can be an indication of undervaluation, but it can also suggest weak growth prospects or financial instability. Moreover, the P/E ratio is just one of many metrics that investors should consider when making investment decisions, and it should be evaluated alongside other financial ratios, industry trends, and qualitative factors. By taking a comprehensive approach to analyzing a company's financial health, investors can make well-informed decisions that are more likely to lead to successful outcomes.

Crude Oil Rises Sharply; JPMorgan Chase Earnings Top Views

In conjunction with the 2025 J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference, the analyst hosted an investor lunch with Ultragenyx Pharmaceutical Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RARE#NASDAQ">RARE</a>).
The analyst <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/RARE/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">keeps an Overweight rating</a> on Ultragenyx with a price target of $102 and says the company is uniquely positioned in the long term with an expansive and diverse pipeline of orphan disease assets and highly regarded management. JP Morgan sees multiple value-creating catalysts over the next six to 18 months.
<ul>
<li>Ultragenyx&#8217;s recent meeting focused on setrusumab and the ongoing Phase 3 ORBIT trial. The analyst noted that the company remains confident in the trial&#8217;s success, with a second interim analysis expected by mid-2025 and final results by the end of 2025.</li>
<li>At current share levels, the analyst noted the market is not fully valuing the setrusumab program and anticipates positive trial data could push Ultragenyx stock price to a ~$7-handle.</li>
<li>Ultragenyx emphasized that moving forward to the second interim analysis does not change the study&#8217;s likelihood of success. Instead, the additional time allows for clearer differentiation between the setrusumab and placebo groups, with the minimum follow-up increasing from 7 months in the first interim analysis to 12 months in the second.</li>
<li>On the commercial front, Ultragenyx plans to leverage its existing Crysvita infrastructure in the U.S. for setrusumab, given overlapping call points.</li>
<li>Approval could also make the company eligible for a Priority Review Voucher, providing a potential source of non-dilutive capital. In Europe, where Mereo owns the rights, Ultragenyx will lead the regulatory filing process and anticipates submitting around 2-3 months after the U.S. filing.</li>
</ul>
On Sunday, Ultragenyx reported preliminary 2024 revenue of $555 million—$560 million, compared to the consensus of $543.02 million.
Crysvita&#8217;s revenue for 2024 is estimated to be $405 million—$410 million, and Dojolvi&#8217;s revenue is estimated to be $87 million—$89 million.
The company expects 2025 sales of $640 million—$670 million versus a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/01/g42935224/ultragenyx-reports-preliminary-2024-revenue-financial-guidance-for-2025-pipeline-updates-and-2025-" rel="noreferrer noopener">consensus of $648.54 million</a>.
Price Action: RARE stock is up 4.31% at $41.75 at last check Wednesday.

In anticipation of higher U.S. interest rates, some of the largest issuers of exchange-traded funds have brought scores of interest rate hedged ETFs to market. The movement to bring these funds to market got going in earnest in 2014, and the field is now populated to the point the options number at least two dozen and several well-known issuers offer multiple interest rate hedged products.
Interest rate hedged ETFs typically pair bullish bond positions with short positions in U.S. Treasurys in an effort to lower the overall portfolio&#39;s duration. The result is lower and, in some cases, negative durations. Duration measures a bond&#39;s sensitivity to fluctuations in interest rates. Most issuers rebalance the hedges monthly to keep pace with changing market conditions.

&ldquo;Potential investors should be aware that these types of zero-duration, hedged bond ETFs may underperform a non-hedged version if rates decline. Looking further out, these types of hedged-bond ETFs could provide suitable exposure to the fixed-income market in a rising interest environment, especially as the Federal Reserve plans on hiking rates sometime later this year,&rdquo; according to <a href="http://www.etftrends.com/2015/07/bond-etfs-to-hedge-against-a-rising-rate-environment/">ETF Trends</a>.
<h3>Unanticipated Reactions</h3>
With all that in mind, it would be reasonable to expect these would be go-go days for ETFs such as the ProShares High Yield Interest Rate Hedged (BATS: HYHG) and the iShares Interest Rate Hedged High Yield Bond ETF (iShares U.S. ETF Trust (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="/stock/hygh#NYSE">HYGH</a>)). Recent data indicate the contrary is true.
&ldquo;Interestingly, the recent strong market consensus towards a US rate rise has not proven to be the boon that ETF issuers had been hoping for as interest rate hedged funds have fallen out of favour with investors in recent months. Issuers have been actively <a href="https://www.markit.com/Commentary/NewsCommentarieFile?CMSID=304ca3ed06294e7f92e33cfa3948a1d6">listing</a> interest rate hedged products in anticipation of a flood of investor demand, but the demand for the products has fluctuated in recent weeks.
&ldquo;To this end, the four US corporate bond interest rate hedged ETFs have seen their AUM fall by a quarter from their recent highs,&rdquo; according to a recent<a href="http://www.markit.com/Commentary/Get/08122015-Credit-Interest-rate-hedging-falls-out-of-favour"> Markit note</a>.
<h3>The Fund And The Index</h3>
HYHG follows the Citi High Yield (Treasury Rate-Hedged) Index, which tracks a basket of high-yield bonds with a built-in hedge against rising interest rates. The ETF, which has a tempting 30-day SEC yield of 7.5 percent, had almost $114 million in assets under management at the end of the fourth quarter, <a href="http://www.proshares.com/media/fact_sheet/ProSharesFactSheetHYHG.pdf">according to ProShares data</a>.
HYHG&#39;s effective duration is -0.22 years. The iShares Interest Rate Hedged High Yield Bond ETF holds the iShares iBoxx $ High Yid Corp Bond (ETF) (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="/stock/hyg#NYSE">HYG</a>), the largest corporate junk bond ETF, with a rate hedge overlay. The $50.3 million HYGH has an effective duration of just 0.13 years, according to<a href="https://www.ishares.com/us/products/264544/HYGH"> iShares data</a>.
These ETFs &ldquo;have seen their combined AUM fall by over a third from the summer&rsquo;s highs. This trend is driven by the deteriorating credit situation among the asset class as its spread over treasuries has <a href="http://www.markit.com/Commentary/Get/27112015-Credit-Smart-money-trades-up-Chesapeake-on-the">surged</a> to recent highs in the wake of the commodities collapse,&rdquo; according to Markit.
