<p>Fashion company <strong>Capri Holdings</strong> <strong>Ltd </strong>(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CPRI#NYSE">CPRI</a>) shares are trading higher on Friday. Italian luxury fashion brand <strong>Prada</strong> is said to be among the potential buyers exploring a bid for Versace, the renowned fashion group currently <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42824409/sentiment-for-capri-holdings-has-turned-too-negative-this-analyst-notes-3-ways-to-win">up for sale by Capri.</a></p>
<p>Prada is working with <strong>Citigroup Inc</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/C#NYSE">C</a>) to assess the feasibility of a possible acquisition, according to a report from Reuters.</p>
<p>The move comes after the Federal Trade Commission has launched a lawsuit to halt <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/04/38382351/ftc-files-lawsuit-to-block-8-5b-merger-of-coach-and-versace-handbag-makers">the $8.5 billion acquisition</a> of Capri by <strong>Tapestry Inc.</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TPR#NYSE">TPR</a>). Both companies decided to mutually end their merger agreement, citing uncertainties in the legal process and the expectation that it would not be resolved by the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/buybacks/24/11/41971497/tapestry-and-capri-call-off-8-5b-deal-amid-legal-hurdles">Feb. 10, 2025 deadline</a>.</p>

<p>Since then Capri has been exploring potential buyers for its Versace and Jimmy Choo brands and was said to have created a data room containing confidential details about the businesses for prospective buyers, with the goal of gauging interest <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42513221/capri-holdings-stock-climbs-on-report-of-potential-sale-of-versace-jimmy-choo">before the holiday season</a>.</p>
<p>Capri is the parent company for fashion brands like Versace, Jimmy Choo, and Michael Kors.</p>
<p>The company reported a 16.4% decline in its second-quarter FY25 revenue with Versace&#8217;s decreasing 28.2%, impacted by softening global demand for <a href="https://www.capriholdings.com/news-releases/news-releases-details/2024/Capri-Holdings-Limited-Announces-Second-Quarter-Fiscal-2025-Results-b3d8ee77e/default.aspx">fashion luxury goods</a>.</p>

<p>On Friday, <strong>Dyne Therapeutics, Inc.&nbsp;</strong>(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DYN#NASDAQ">DYN</a>) revealed new data from its ongoing Phase 1/2 ACHIEVE trial of DYNE-101 in patients with <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/01/g42908297/dyne-therapeutics-reports-new-clinical-data-showing-compelling-impact-on-multiple-measures-of-myot" rel="noreferrer noopener">myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1)</a>.</p>
<p>Dyne plans to begin a global Registrational Expansion Cohort with the potential to support a submission for U.S. Accelerated Approval based on biomarker and functional data in H1 2026.</p>

<p>Dyne reported efficacy data from adult DM1 patients enrolled in the randomized, placebo-controlled MAD portion of the DYNE-101 ACHIEVE trial, including data from the 6.8 mg/kg Q8W cohort (n=8) at up to 6 months.</p>
<p>At the 6.8 mg/kg Q8W dose, DYNE-101 resulted in significant splicing correction at 3 months compared to baseline, which was associated with progress in multiple functional endpoints, beginning at 3 months and continuing at 6 months.</p>
<ul>
<li>Analysis of muscle biopsy data for the 6.8 mg/kg Q8W cohort showed a substantial knockdown of Drug Metabolism and Pharmacokinetics (DMPK) (DYNE-101 molecular target) RNA levels. Splicing correction at 3 months for the 6.8 mg/kg Q8W cohort was robust. It was associated with improvement in multiple functional endpoints, supporting CASI-22 at 3 months as a surrogate endpoint for potential U.S. Accelerated Approval.</li>
<li>Early and sustained improvement in myotonia as measured by video hand opening time (vHOT) was seen in the 6.8 mg/kg Q8W cohort and at low doses with modest splicing correction, deepening with more time on the drug.</li>
<li>Functional measures showed early and sustained clinical benefit at the 6.8 mg/kg Q8W dose.</li>
</ul>
<p>Dyne also reported safety and tolerability data from 56 patients. Most of the treatment-emergent adverse events were mild or moderate, and no related serious treatment-emergent adverse events have been identified.</p>
<p>Based on previous dialogue with the FDA&#8217;s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research division, Dyne continues to pursue accelerated approval in the U.S. based on splicing as a surrogate endpoint.</p>
<p>Dyne anticipates completing enrollment in the Registrational Expansion Cohort in mid-2025 and submitting for U.S. Accelerated Approval in H1 2026.</p>

ROOT

A Closer Look at Root's Options Market Dynamics

<p>As the new year kicks off, all eyes are on Washington, where discussions about Social Security and Medicare are making waves. With talks swirling about changes to Social Security and Medicare, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/12/42728529/suze-orman-warns-medicare-doesnt-cover-everything-why-you-need-2000-for-drugs-and-1676-for-hospital-costs-in-2025">Suze Orman</a> is urging calm. "We. Don't. Know," she said in her Jan. 2 blog post, pointing out that hasty financial decisions based on speculation are rarely a good idea.</p>
<p>According to the Social Security Administration, nearly 40% of retirees rely on Social Security for most of their income. That makes any talk of benefit cuts particularly nerve-wracking.&nbsp;</p>
<p>However, Orman reminds readers that Social Security is a popular program across party lines, making drastic changes less likely. &#8220;Floating is not policy,&#8221; she says, encouraging everyone to wait for solid facts before making decisions.</p>
<p><strong>Don't Miss:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><strong><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/planning-your-retirement-new-changes-to-social-security-in-2025-could-affect-you">Planning Your Retirement? New Changes To Social Security In 2025 Could Affect You</a></strong></li>
<li><strong><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/suze-orman-retirement-bucket">&#8216;Which Bucket Do I Draw From First?&#8217; Suze Orman Explains To 67-Year-Old The Best Order For Tapping Into Her Retirement Accounts</a></strong></li>
</ul>
<p>While Washington debates, Orman suggests focusing on what can be controlled. According to Investors, the U.S. stock market soared 23.3% in 2024, culminating in a two-year gain of 53.2%, the highest since 1997-1998.</p>
<p>This could mean your portfolio is more stock-heavy than you realize, potentially exposing you to unwanted risk. For example, a 60% allocation to stocks might now be closer to 70% or more. Orman advises rebalancing to match your risk tolerance and long-term goals.</p>
<p>Recurring expenses are another area to tackle. A study by C+R Research revealed that the average household spends $219 monthly on subscriptions, often for services they don't use. Cutting back can free up cash for other priorities.&nbsp;</p>
<p>For those carrying credit card debt, Orman recommends calling your issuer to negotiate a lower interest rate. According to a study by LendingTree, 76% of consumers who requested a lower credit card APR (Annual Percentage Rate) were successful, potentially saving hundreds of dollars a year.</p>
