More Unions and Companies Win Health-Reform Exemptions

The CNN Money Fear and Greed index showed a decline in overall market sentiment, while the index remained in the &#8220;Fear&#8221; zone on Wednesday.
U.S. stocks settled mostly higher on Wednesday, with the Dow Jones index gaining more than 100 points during the session.
Minutes from the Federal Reserve&#8217;s December meeting released on Wednesday show officials are uncertain about the path of future rate cuts, as President-elect Donald Trump&#8217;s policies and how they could affect inflation remain unknown.
Acuity Brands Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AYI#NYSE">AYI</a>) reported weaker-than-expected revenue for its fiscal first quarter.
On the economic data front, U.S. private businesses added 122,000 workers to their payrolls in December down from 146,000 in November and versus expectations of 140,000. U.S. initial jobless claims fell by 10,000 to 201,000 in the week ending Jan. 4, recording the lowest level in eleven months and versus market estimates of 218,000.
Most sectors on the S&amp;P 500 closed on a positive note, with consumer staples, health care, and materials stocks recording the biggest gains on Wednesday. However, energy and communication services stocks bucked the overall market trend, closing the session lower.
The Dow Jones closed higher by around 107 points to 42,635.20 on Wednesday. The S&amp;P 500 rose 0.16% to 5,918.25, while the Nasdaq Composite fell 0.06% at 19,478.88 during Wednesday's session.
Investors are awaiting earnings results from Walgreens Boots Alliance Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WBA#NASDAQ">WBA</a>), Constellation Brands Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STZ#NYSE">STZ</a>), and Delta Air Lines Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DAL#NYSE">DAL</a>) today.
What is CNN Business Fear &amp; Greed Index?
At a current reading of 32.4, the index remained in the &#8220;Fear&#8221; zone on Wednesday, versus a prior reading of 35.8.
The Fear &amp; Greed Index is a measure of the current market sentiment. It is based on the premise that higher fear exerts pressure on stock prices, while higher greed has the opposite effect. The index is calculated based on seven equal-weighted indicators. The index ranges from 0 to 100, where 0 represents maximum fear and 100 signals maximum greediness.

Delta Air Lines, Walgreens And 3 Stocks To Watch Heading Into Friday

Apollo Global Management Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/APO#NYSE">APO</a>) is weighing a ¥1.5 trillion ($9.5 billion) equity stake in a management buyout of Seven &amp; i Holdings Co. Ltd. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SVNDY#OTC">SVNDY</a>). 
What Happened: The deal would see Apollo collaborating with the founding Ito family and Itochu Corp. to strengthen domestic control of Seven &amp; i, a global retail conglomerate known for operating 7-Eleven convenience stores, supermarkets, department stores, food services, financial services, and e-commerce platforms, Bloomberg <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-01-10/apollo-weighs-9-5-billion-stake-in-seven-i-management-buyout">reported</a>, citing people familiar with the matter.
It will be part of a bigger buyout attempt first estimated to cost 9 trillion Japanese Yen ($60.3 billion). The investment trumps the 7.5 trillion Japanese Yen ($50.25 billion) takeover bid by Alimentation Couche-Tard Inc. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ANCTF#OTC">ANCTF</a>).
Ito family and Itochu are considering pledging 500 billion Japanese Yen ($3.35 billion) and 1 trillion Japanese Yen ($6.7 billion) respectively, and major Japanese banks are providing supplemental funding.
Seven &amp; i shares rose 7.4% on the news, but its market value of 6.3 trillion Japanese Yen ($42.21 billion) is still below both proposed valuations. The company&#8217;s CFO Yoshimichi Maruyama confirmed Thursday that a special board committee is considering both the Couche-Tard and Ito family proposals.
The deal is a significant change in Japan&#8217;s corporate landscape, as domestic interests rally to retain control of the 7-Eleven operator. The company was recently added to Japan&#8217;s Foreign Exchange and Foreign Trade Act watchlist, though Finance Minister Shunichi Suzuki indicated this wouldn&#8217;t <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/09/40902307/7-eleven-store-operator-seven-i-reclassified-under-japans-investment-rules-what-does-it-mean-for-39b">necessarily impede foreign investment</a>.
Seven &amp; i Holdings is undergoing strategic restructuring and expansion while facing investor pressure from takeover bids, including a counterproposal from a member of its founding family. 
Apollo did not immediately respond to&nbsp;<a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga</a>'s request for comment.

Why It Matters: &#8220;The current MBO proposal is already high, so the fact that they've found another source of funding is a big positive for shareholders,&#8221; said Shun Tanaka, senior analyst at SBI Securities Co., suggesting it could spark higher competing offers.
Details of the investment structure are still under negotiation, but the consortium hopes to complete its proposal before Seven &amp; i&#8217;s May shareholders&#8217; meeting. The company is also simultaneously pushing for a restructuring plan that would separate its convenience store operations from other retail businesses.
Price Action: Seven &amp; I Holdings is currently trading at 2,509 Japanese Yen ($15.84) on Friday, gaining 5.66% for the day. Over the past year, the stock has risen by 31.78%.

Apollo Weighs $9.5 Billion Stake In Seven & i Buyout, Joining Ito Family's $60 Billion Deal: Report

California-based property and casualty insurance stocks and exchange-traded funds are in focus as the Los Angeles <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42899953/five-dead-in-los-angeles-wildfires-utilities-face-scrutiny">wildfires</a> have wreaked havoc and ruined over 10,000 structures.
What Happened: As five fires continue to burn LA County, the Eaton and Palisades fires have caused significant damage, destroying over 10,000 structures, including homes, businesses, and smaller buildings, <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2025/01/09/los-angeles-california-wildfires-thursday-live-updates/77560180007/">reported </a>USA Today. The County of Los Angeles Department of Medical Examiner said that 10 fire-related deaths have been reported. 
Allstate Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ALL#NYSE">ALL</a>) and Travelers Companies Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TRV#NYSE">TRV</a>) are prominent California-based property insurers. As <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42899028/la-wildfire-damages-estimated-above-52-billion-california-property-insurance-crisis">reported</a> by Benzinga, many homes in the affected areas are insured by the state-backed insurer of last resort, the California FAIR Plan.
California&#8217;s insurance market was already in crisis before the recent wildfires. Insurers withdrew from the state due to mounting losses from increasingly frequent and severe fires. This issue was highlighted by actor James Woods, who <a href="https://twitter.com/RealJamesWoods/status/1876875152236941482">revealed </a>that his neighborhood recently lost its insurance coverage.

Why It Matters: AccuWeather <a href="https://www.accuweather.com/en/blogs-webinars/california-wildfires-52-57b-damage-estimate-accuweather-report/1731718">estimates</a> the economic toll of the Southern California wildfires at a staggering $52 billion to $57 billion. This figure includes damage to property and the disruption of daily life. Chief Meteorologist Jonathan Porter warns that this could become the most devastating wildfire in California history if the fires continue to spread.

 During the three-month period ended December 31, 2024, annualized production output was approximately 103% of the Company's estimated full capacity of approximately $30 million per year. This production output helped reduce the backlog of orders to approximately $4.4 million as of January 1, 2025 from approximately $9.4 million as of January 1, 2024. The Company believes that the current backlog reflects strong demand as distributors work to replenish their buffer stocks and as end-users place orders in advance of peak calving season during the first quarter.

Intellia Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NTLA#NASDAQ">NTLA</a>), a leading clinical-stage gene editing company focused on revolutionizing medicine with CRISPR-based therapies, today announced its strategic priorities and key anticipated 2025 milestones that support the Company's mission to transform the lives of patients and bring forth a new era in medicine.
Recent Pipeline Advancement and Corporate Updates
<ul>
<li>Strategic Reorganization Focused on Key Value Drivers:
<ul>
<li>The pipeline prioritization is intended to focus resources on high value programs - NTLA-2002 and nex-z - to ensure efficient execution, achieve near-term clinical milestones, and prepare Intellia for commercial launch. As part of this prioritization, the Company discontinued development of NTLA-3001 for the treatment of alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency-associated lung disease and select research-stage programs. Over the course of 2025, the strategic reorganization will result in a net workforce reduction of approximately 27%.</li>
<li>The Company expects to incur charges of approximately $8 million associated with the reorganization, which are anticipated to be incurred in the first quarter of 2025.</li>
<li>Intellia ended the fourth quarter of 2024 with approximately $862 million in cash, cash equivalents and investments. The combination of its cash balance and the anticipated cost savings are expected to provide the Company with cash runway into the first half of 2027.</li>
<li>Laura Sepp-Lorenzino, Ph.D., Intellia's Chief Scientific Officer, has announced her retirement effective December 31, 2025 after more than 30 years of service in the biopharmaceutical industry and academia. Dr. Sepp-Lorenzino will transition from her role as CSO and continue as a Senior Scientific Advisor for the remainder of the year. "I would like to thank Laura for her service to Intellia. She has been a tireless innovator and advocate for the promise of gene editing, and we look forward to continuing the work and vision she championed," said John Leonard M.D., President and Chief Executive Officer of Intellia.</li>
<li>The Company also announced that Birgit Schultes, Ph.D., who has been leading Immunology and Cell Therapy since 2017, will be promoted to Executive Vice President and Chief Scientific Officer, effective January 13, 2025. Dr. Schultes has over 20 years of experience in drug development and biotechnology, including the clinical development of cell therapies and complex biologic products. Dr. Schultes received her M.S. in biology and Ph.D. in immunology from the University of Bonn, Germany, and completed the Advanced Management Development Program at the Boston University Questrom School of Business.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>NTLA-2002 for Hereditary Angioedema (HAE):
<ul>
<li>Patients are actively enrolling in the pivotal Phase 3 HAELO study.</li>
<li>Presented clinical data, in October at the 2024 American College of Allergy, Asthma &amp; Immunology (ACAAI) Scientific Meeting, from the Phase 2 study that demonstrated the potential of NTLA-2002 to end chronic, prophylaxis treatment and provide freedom from attacks following a one-time infusion.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Nex-z for Transthyretin (ATTR) Amyloidosis:
<ul>
<li>Strong enrollment and momentum continue in the Phase 3 MAGNITUDE study in patients with ATTR amyloidosis with cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM), tracking ahead of the Company's target enrollment projections.</li>
<li>Patients with hereditary ATTR amyloidosis with polyneuropathy (ATTRv-PN) are actively screening in the Phase 3 MAGNITUDE-2 study.</li>
<li>Presented first clinical evidence, in November at the 2024 American Heart Association (AHA) Scientific Sessions, that consistent, rapid, deep and durable reductions in serum TTR achieved after a one-time treatment of nex-z may halt, and potentially reverse, disease progression.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
Strategic Priorities and Anticipated 2025 Milestones
Intellia's strategic priorities reflect the Company's ongoing evolution from a late-stage development company to a commercial-ready organization by the end of 2026.
1. Drive focused clinical execution to complete or accelerate enrollment in the pivotal studies of NTLA-2002 and nex-z
<ul>
<li>NTLA-2002 for HAE: 
<ul>
<li>Dose the first patient in the pivotal Phase 3 HAELO trial in 1Q25.</li>
<li>Complete HAELO enrollment in second half of 2025.</li>
<li>Present longer-term data from the Phase 1/2 study – data will include patients in the Phase 2 portion who initially received a 25 mg dose or placebo and were subsequently given the 50 mg dose of NTLA-2002 selected for the Phase 3 study</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Nex-z for ATTR amyloidosis:
<ul>
<li>Dose the first patient in the pivotal Phase 3 MAGNITUDE-2 trial for ATTRv-PN in 1Q25.</li>
<li>Enroll at least 550 patients cumulatively within the MAGNITUDE trial for ATTR-CM.</li>
<li>Present longer-term data from both ATTR-CM and ATTRv-PN patients in the Phase 1 study – data will include updated measures of clinical efficacy and safety. &nbsp;</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
2.&nbsp;Advance commercial readiness by implementing core commercialization and medical capabilities for initial launch in the U.S.
<ul>
<li>Complete buildout of the commercial leadership team by second half of 2025. &nbsp;</li>
<li>Expand the reach of medical education activities in HAE and ATTR amyloidosis in partnership with key medical societies and patient organizations.</li>
<li>Initiate pre-approval information exchange to allow payers to begin planning for coverage and formulary decisions.</li>
