Broadcom Inc.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>) $69 billion acquisition of VMware in 2023 marked a significant shift in the tech industry.
In the year following the deal, Broadcom drastically reduced the number of VMware products from thousands to just five, responding to customer feedback that the original plan for only four bundles was too limiting, Financial Times <a target="_blank" href="https://www.ft.com/retail-consumer" rel="noreferrer noopener">reports</a>, citing an interview with Broadcom CEO Hock Tan.
Tan explained that simplifying VMware&#8217;s offerings made the product &#8220;easier&#8221; to use, aligning with their goal of streamlining and boosting efficiency.
With the rise of artificial intelligence (AI), Tan sees VMware as a key alternative for companies looking to avoid handing over their data to large US cloud providers, especially in Europe.
VMware&#8217;s virtualisation system&nbsp;allows businesses to manage their data centers more efficiently, reducing hardware costs while improving resilience and security.

Despite estimates that 20% of VMware customers would leave, Tan stated that churn had not significantly increased.
He described the complaints as coming from a "short-sighted customers.&#8221; Tan argued that these customers overlooked the value of long-term cost amortization.
Earlier this month, the company announced the availability of the Brocade G710 24-port 64G switch,<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/01/43008511/broadcoms-latest-san-switch-offers-scalable-energy-efficient-solution-for-growing-storage-demands" rel="noreferrer noopener"> a&nbsp;top-of-rack SAN switch.</a>

Apple Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) may be riding the Edge AI wave, but it's also facing a riptide of headwinds. JPMorgan analyst Samik Chatterjee sees currency woes, China struggles, and lukewarm AI adoption as hurdles for the tech giant's upcoming earnings—and warns that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/AAPL/guidance">guidance could disappoint investors</a>.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">China's Chilling Effect</h2>
Apple's grip on China is loosening, and Chatterjee isn't mincing words. "Share loss in China to likely continue with the company already past its product cycle peak and with the consumer subsidies from the local administration to enable smartphone replacement for low to mid-tier phones, which excludes high-end smartphones." 
With Beijing's push to boost domestic brands, Apple is losing its competitive edge in a critical growth market.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">AI: The Game-Changer That Isn't (Yet)</h2>
Despite Apple's push into Edge AI, Chatterjee sees a slow build rather than a sudden spike in demand. "Limited traction yet for the AI features rolled out increasing the likelihood of flattish unit sales as we go through the upcoming quarters, although downside to unit sales remain limited given trough replacement rates already." 
Simply put, consumers aren't rushing to upgrade just for AI, leaving iPhone sales stuck in neutral.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Strong Dollar, Weak Outlook?</h2>
The dollar's strength is another thorn in Apple's side, making overseas sales less profitable. "Stronger USD to increase headwinds for Apple to navigate in the coming quarters, given limited appetite to adjust pricing outside of new product launches." 
This could mean Apple absorbs the hit rather than passing costs to customers, squeezing margins further.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Apple Earnings Outlook: A Tough Climb</h2>
Chatterjee expects Apple's first quarter earnings to come in at $2.33 per share on $123 billion in revenue—just shy of consensus estimates. But it's the guidance that could really spook investors. Revenue for the quarter is expected to land at $94.8 billion, trailing consensus expectations, as China's smartphone subsidies and AI's slow ramp-up weigh on demand.
Still, Chatterjee isn't ditching Apple altogether. He maintains an Overweight rating, banking on Apple's premium valuation holding up thanks to its ecosystem and AI ambitions. 
However, he trims his December 2025 price target from $265 to $260, warning that earnings revisions from a softer guide could pressure shares in the near term.
Apple may have long-term AI potential, but for now, it's a battle of innovation versus macro headwinds. And according to Chatterjee, the next earnings report could be a reality check for investors.

SON-1010, after receipt of data suggesting clinical benefit when administered as a monotherapy in patients with advanced solid tumors, enters combination evaluation with trabectedin (Yondelis&#xAE;) with the potential to improve trabectedin's therapeutic window in soft-tissue sarcoma patients
Combined mechanisms have the potential to enhance progression-free survival (PFS) in some of the largest cohorts of patients with soft-tissue sarcoma
Topline safety data of the combination of SON-1010 with trabectedin is expected in H2 calendar year 2025
Sonnet management discusses what this expansion means in a Virtual Investor "What This Means" segment; <a href="https://www.globenewswire.com/Tracker?data=nOlP7iC56ckndPUZ0KGseRUZe097r20n2xnUzb8MTGHgD_HoQdCt66MvD0pUnZiOBVouh2x2H0abDjAs5G5S-bN262mZMXBfeUqWzgyy85MgfxRhjJpqZrE9egvaXGy8">Access here</a> &nbsp;
PRINCETON, NJ, Jan. 21, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sonnet BioTherapeutics Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SONN#NASDAQ">SONN</a>) (the "Company" or "Sonnet"), a clinical-stage company developing targeted immunotherapeutic drugs, announced today an expansion of its Phase 1 SB101 clinical study of SON-1010 (IL12-FHAB) in adult patients with advanced solid tumors to add a new cohort to evaluate the effect of SON-1010 in combination with trabectedin (Yondelis&#xAE;), following the <a href="https://www.globenewswire.com/Tracker?data=J602bu1osG4rjFxVMgjgjaooaMVaw8t_NZONgF691oyejdeNL6wHCOcdFz97qc0T2V10KkciXWdv4vLeIXWFjcBPeFYxWJltOWSahT1HTcHDFlLipqzmnAlAKWfC3xHtA0uUNX05jQ2v9PJThyRfA1QzHE8nHr-i2WkJfvoa7mlUAp61IfPAjiyKbbI9tah43Kd46oJA37d4o-I8_cHmdswMjRC1s9Trjv88CRTli4qs-d0Tm7yRFHf4cHRBqP0k">successful completion of monotherapy dose escalation</a>. This expansion will explore the immune-oncology impact of SON-1010 at the maximum tolerated (MTD) dose of 1200 ng/kg in combination with trabectedin, which is an approved chemotherapeutic drug for certain advanced soft-tissue sarcomas (STS). Patients with STS could potentially benefit from an enhanced local immune response in the tumor microenvironment (TME). Enrollment in this cohort is underway and is expected to be completed in H1 calendar year 2025. Topline safety data of the combination with trabectedin is expected in H2 calendar year 2025; no new safety concerns have been reported to date. Additionally, the Company announced the release of a "What This Means" segment to discuss the expansion of the Phase 1 clinical study which is now available <a href="https://www.globenewswire.com/Tracker?data=_TlK7xwSKTa_TAoTgrAzhNOrT5fFiakN0E5Ml5eMkWwCi1P30-61e9EGxoa98WZlywjPBVKDYBUDtA-RgPN6aInB7EBDNIlb5zIqowG5OG_9z5C0D8ptnquYiEYgoY8R">here</a>.
"The Sarcoma Oncology Center is pleased to have been able to enroll most of the patients in Sonnet's Phase1 SB101 study to date, with the majority of the patients having STS," commented Dr. Sant Chawla, Principal Investigator at the Sarcoma Oncology Center in Santa Monica, California. "Additionally, as we have contributed to the development of trabectedin over the years, we were excited to see its approval in early 2024 as a monotherapy in the second-line treatment for two of the most common types of sarcoma — liposarcoma and leiomyosarcoma. While the trabectedin approval was based on several clinical trials in sarcoma, we believe a large unmet need remains for the treatment of STS. We believe that combining trabectedin with SON-1010 has the potential for a natural synergistic effect of the two mechanisms of action."
The Company expects to enroll up to 18 patients with unresectable, metastatic liposarcoma or leiomyosarcoma in this open-label, single-arm expansion cohort. The patients will be treated with SON-1010 in combination with the standard 21-day trabectedin cycles, alternating the dosing of the two drugs. This number of subjects may be needed to see a statistical benefit in the response using the standard RECIST paradigm. The primary outcome measures for the Phase 1 SB101 trial are the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of SON-1010 and to establish the MTD, which has been set at 1200 ng/kg. The Company believes the results of this expansion cohort could position SON-1010 for a larger Phase 2 study that could establish the combination of SON-1010 and trabectedin as a new and potentially improved treatment for STS.
"The ability to assess earlier-stage patients is an exciting opportunity to evaluate the potential for SON-1010 to turn ‘cold' tumors ‘hot'," said Richard Kenney, M.D., Sonnet's Chief Medical Officer. "Most Phase 1 studies in the oncology space are done in patients with advanced disease, whose immune systems may not respond optimally after multiple types of chemotherapy. Trabectedin's approval as a single agent second-line therapy in STS provides access to patients at an earlier stage with an underlying immune response that may be more robust."
"The Sonnet team has been studying the efficacy and safety of SON-1010 as a single agent, which has thus far suggested clinical benefit when administered as a monotherapy in patients with advanced solid tumors," said Pankaj Mohan, Ph.D., Sonnet Founder and Chief Executive Officer. "Further, we believe this synergy could improve the response in a serious type of cancer at an earlier stage of disease, which could open up another potential opportunity for partnering."
SON-1010 is the Company's proprietary version of recombinant human interleukin-12 (rhIL-12), configured using genetic fusion to Sonnet's Fully Human Albumin Binding (FHAB&#xAE;) platform, which extends the half-life and bioactivity of the IL-12 component due to binding native albumin in the serum. Albumin naturally targets the TME by strong binding to gp60 and Secreted Protein Acidic and Rich in Cysteine (SPARC). The majority of patients enrolled to date in the Phase 1 SB101 trial have STS, which has a known potential for an enhanced response to immunotherapy.

Donald Trump wasted no time in his return to the White House, signing a flurry of executive orders, and, most notably, declaring <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/01/43086509/trump-unleashes-executive-orders-on-border-security-oil-drilling-domestic-manufacturing-in-first-acts-as-president">a national energy emergency. </a>
During his inauguration speech on Monday, he reaffirmed his commitment to fossil fuels, pledging to &#8220;drill, baby, drill&#8221; and revoke the electric vehicle mandate. 
&#8220;The inflation crisis was caused by massive overspending and escalating energy prices. And that is why today I will also declare a national energy emergency. We will drill, baby, drill,&#8221; Trump said. 
Trump also announced his intent to withdraw the U.S. from the Paris Climate Accord, calling wind turbines "ugly" and reiterating his policy against renewable energy expansion. His focus is clear: expand drilling, restore the Strategic Petroleum Reserve and flood global markets with U.S. oil and gas.
Oil markets are already reacting, but will this push for American energy dominance send crude prices soaring or lead to an oversupply crisis?
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">What Happens To Oil Prices?</h3>
The immediate impact of Trump's pro-drilling stance on oil markets has been strong, with traders already reassessing their outlooks on crude prices. 
The U.S. benchmark West Texas Intermediate crude – as tracked by the United States Oil Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/USO#NYSE">USO</a>) – tumbled by 2.6% during morning trading on Tuesday, heading for a third straight session of losses. 
"Mr. Trump's full-throated yell for U.S. producers to: ‘Drill, baby, drill!' is not new. And it's perfectly logical that prices should fall at the prospect of increased supply. But producers are highly price-sensitive, and there comes a time/price where it's uneconomical to raise production," commented David Morrison, senior market analyst at Trade Nation.
&#8220;Day 1 executive orders in these areas are expected to be followed by further action in the coming days and weeks, with Trump set to test the limits of presidential authority to pursue an agenda that aims to unravel Biden's energy and climate policies,&#8221; wrote Energy Intelligence in a note Tuesday. 
David Goldman, head of trading at Novion said Trump's policy shift "is unlikely to have any significant impact in the short term but may have bearish repercussions in the long term."
Goldman highlighted that a sharp increase in U.S. production, particularly if global demand slows due to the ongoing transition to renewable energy, could weigh on prices. "Increased production without sufficient export infrastructure risks bottlenecks, while protectionist trade measures could stifle international cooperation and reduce market efficiency."
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Energy Stocks See A Small Lift</h3>
Oil and gas stocks saw modest gains in premarket trading Tuesday as investors weighed the potential for increased drilling activity. 
The Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLE#NYSE">XLE</a>), which tracks major oil companies, was up 0.1% during premarket trading, while the SPDR S&amp;P Oil &amp; Gas Exploration &amp; Production ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XOP#NYSE">XOP</a>) saw similar gains.

Shuttle Pharmaceuticals Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SHPH#NASDAQ">SHPH</a>) ("Shuttle Pharma"), a discovery and development stage specialty pharmaceutical company focused on improving outcomes for cancer patients treated with radiation therapy (RT), announced today that it has achieved 25% enrollment in the initial randomized portion of its Phase 2 Clinical Trial of Ropidoxuridine for the treatment of patients with glioblastoma.
The Phase 2 trial design is to initially randomize 40 patients into two different dose levels, with 20 patients receiving 1,200 mg/day and 20 patients receiving 960 mg/day, to determine an optimal dose for use in glioblastoma patients. Once the optimal dose is identified, 14 additional patients will be enrolled at the optimal dose to reach statistical significance with the end-point demonstrating survival as compared to historical controls. The Phase 2 clinical trial is being conducted on patients presenting with the most aggressive form of brain tumors– IDH wild-type, methylation negative glioblastoma. This cohort of patients currently only have radiation as the standard of care, with less than half of the patients surviving beyond 12 months after diagnosis.
Ropidoxuridine (IPdR) is Shuttle Pharma's lead candidate radiation sensitizer for use in combination with RT to treat brain tumors (glioblastoma), a deadly malignancy of the brain with no known cure. Shuttle Pharma previously received Orphan Drug Designation from the FDA, providing Shuttle Pharma with potential marketing exclusivity upon obtaining FDA approval for treatment of this disease.
