Telix Pharmaceuticals (OTC:TLPPF) Stock, Option Chain

Telix develops radiopharmaceuticals to manage cancer. Radiopharmaceuticals are radioisotopes bound to molecules that can target specific cells. At low doses, these drugs can bind to specific cancer cells with radiation, and then positron emission tomography imaging can accurately visualize tumors. At high doses, these drugs can selectively target and treat tumors with radiation, known as radioligand therapy. Radiopharmaceuticals are usually injected into the bloodstream. Telix has a pipeline of potential radiopharmaceuticals but currently earns most of its revenue from US sales of Illuccix, largely used as an imaging agent to visualize the spread of prostate cancer.

TD Cowen Maintains Buy on Symbotic, Raises Price Target to $50

Cannabis stocks have faced significant <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42125955/cannabis-stocks-feel-the-burn-as-gaetz-bows-out-msos-in-focus">challenges</a> recently, driven by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/11/41782344/tilray-trulieve-and-other-cannabis-stocks-nosediving-as-industry-faces-new-wave-of-political-unc">political uncertainty</a> that has further weighed on a sector still struggling to regain its footing since the overhyped all-time highs of 2021. 
To help investors navigate the long-term outlook for key <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/marijuana-stocks">cannabis companies</a>, we are introducing a series of in-depth technical analyses, focusing on actionable insights from technical indicators to support informed financial decisions.
After analyzing Canadian cannabis giant <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/11/42127287/whats-happening-with-canopy-growth-is-it-time-to-buy">Canopy Growth</a> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CGC#NASDAQ">CGC</a>), it's time to turn our attention to another heavyweight: Aurora Cannabis (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ACB#NASDAQ">ACB</a>). 
Based in Alberta, Aurora remains a key player in the sector and a major contender for Canopy. So, grab a seat as we dive into the technical setup and explore what the future might hold for this heavy-weight cannabis company.
We will use Fibonacci Retracement, a popular tool in technical analysis that helps traders identify key levels where a stock might reverse or stabilize. In Aurora's case, the tool is applied from the March low of $2.7 to the April high of $8.96. In the case of Canopy, the starting point was May.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">For Mid-Term Traders And Holders</h3>
These levels highlight critical zones where buyer or seller momentum tends to shift.
<ul>
<li>Current Support: Aurora is hovering around the&nbsp;78.6% retracement level at $4.16: the "final line of defense" for bulls.</li>
<li>Resistance Ahead: If this support holds, the next key levels are&nbsp;$5.26 (61.8%)&nbsp;and&nbsp;$6.04 (50%), which could act as mid-term targets.</li>
<li>Breaking above $6.04 would indicate stronger bullish momentum and possibly a trend reversal.</li>
</ul>
For short-term traders, $5.26 is a natural profit-taking zone, while holders might look for sustained moves above $6.04 as a sign of long-term recovery. 
If the price falls below $4.16, the next significant support lies near $2.7, the March low, which would invalidate the bullish scenario.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">For Daily Traders </h3>
If you look for recent price action in the daily chart you&#8217;ll see signs of rebounding momentum as a bullish divergence&nbsp;is emerging. While the stock has been printing lower lows, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) has shown&nbsp;higher lows. This divergence suggests weakening selling pressure and the potential for a rebound.
<ul>
<li>Validation Point: A break above $5.26, accompanied by rising RSI, would confirm the divergence and support a recovery.</li>
<li>Invalidation Point: A fall below $4.16 would negate the divergence and signal continued downward pressures</li>
</ul>
Beware that divergences alone are not foolproof. They require confirmation through price action, volume or additional indicators like moving averages or candlestick patterns. Without these, the divergence may fail and the downtrend could continue.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Fundamentals: A Stock Trading Below Book Value</h3>
Beyond the charts, Aurora Cannabis has interesting fundamentals. With&nbsp;quarterly total assets of $808.77 million&nbsp;and a book value per share of $7.10, the company's stock trades significantly below its intrinsic value. This could indicate an undervalued opportunity for long-term investors willing to weather the volatility.
For now, traders should watch price action near $4.16 and $5.26, while holders may see a more compelling story above $6.04. Both groups should keep an eye on volume, which can confirm whether the bulls are stepping back in.

American Woodmark Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMWD#NASDAQ">AMWD</a>) shares are trading lower on Tuesday. The company reported second-quarter net sales of $452.5 million, which missed<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/11/b42184811/american-woodmark-corporation-announces-second-quarter-results-and-a-125-million-stock-repurchase-" rel="noreferrer noopener"> the consensus of&nbsp;$458.29 million</a>.
Adjusted EBITDA decreased 16.8% year over year to $60.2 million, with a margin of 13.3% vs. 15.3% a year ago quarter. Adjusted EPS of $2.08 missed <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">the street view of $2.37</a>.
As of October 31, 2024, the company held $56.7 million in cash and had $313.2 million available under its revolving credit facility.
In the six months of fiscal 2025, the company generated $52.7 million in cash from operating activities and achieved free cash flow of $30.1 million.
In the second quarter, the company purchased $17.7 million in transferable renewable energy tax credits to offset corporate income tax liabilities, with utilization planned for the fourth fiscal quarter of 2025.

On November 20, 2024, the Board approved an additional $125 million stock repurchase program, supplementing the previous authorization from November 29, 2023.

American Woodmark Misses On Q2 Earnings And Sales As Housing Market Headwinds Take A Toll

Shares of automakers including Ford Motor Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>), General Motors Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>) and Stellantis N.V. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STLA#NYSE">STLA</a>) are trading lower Tuesday after President-elect Donald Trump threatened tariffs on goods imported <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/42189225/trump-threatens-25-tariffs-on-canada-mexico-until-invasion-is-stopped-but-polymarket-traders-arent-convinced">from Canada and Mexico</a>.
What To Know: Trump indicated he could put 25% tariffs on imports from Canada and Mexico, sending automotive stocks lower Tuesday morning as the automotive industry has relied on the countries for lower-cost production, according to <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/11/26/gm-stellantis-shares-fall-on-trump-tariff-threat-for-mexico-canada.html">CNBC</a>.
The report highlights UBS data showing the automotive industry accounts for more than a quarter of all imports from Mexico to the U.S., and about 12% from Canada. U.S. automakers have reportedly relied heavily on Mexico and Canada for production since the North American Free Trade Agreement became effective in 1994.
Ford shares were down about 2.19% at last check, while GM shares were down about 8.40% and Stellantis shares were off by about 5.42%.
Check This Out: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/11/42194139/consumer-confidence-hits-2-year-high-as-recession-fears-fade-stock-market-optimism-soars-to-record-high">Consumer Confidence Hits 2-Year High As Recession Fears Fade: Stock Market Optimism Soars To Record High</a>
The report indicates that GM and Stellantis make some of their most profitable pickup trucks in Mexico. GM reportedly has five large assembly factories in Mexico and Canada expected to produce 1 million vehicles this year, and Stellantis has four major factories in the countries.
Trump reportedly said he will use an executive order to put 25% tariffs on imported goods. CNBC reported that the tariffs are being viewed as more aggressive than what most were expecting, but analysts see the move as creating leverage for upcoming negotiations.
"We view [the] announcement as largely negotiation tactics (as seen in 2016), and see such magnitude of tariffs unlikely,&#8221; Barclays analyst Dan Levy reportedly said in a note late Monday.

10 Consumer Discretionary Stocks Whale Activity In Today's Session

MicroStrategy Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>) drove market conversations around a &#8220;Bitcoin treasury,&#8221; whereby companies allocate treasury funds to Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) rather than traditional investments. Rumble Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RUM#NASDAQ">RUM</a>) followed suit, as revealed in an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/42184590/rumble-stock-rises-in-tuesday-pre-market-after-adopting-bitcoin-treasury-strategy-as-btc-retreats">announcement on Monday</a>. This begs the question: Which companies will adopt Bitcoin next?
The Announcement: Shares of Rumble jumped over 3% on Tuesday morning following the company board&#8217;s approval of a Bitcoin plan. The strategy involves potential investments of up to $20 million in Bitcoin, or approximately 212 coins at current market prices.
MicroStrategy&#8217;s stock has catapulted over 400% in 2024 due to the company&#8217;s high exposure to Bitcoin.
Commentators Catch On: Angel investor Jason Calacanis <a href="https://x.com/Jason/status/1861431433308373172">reacted</a> sarcastically to the decision in a post on X.
&#8220;Let's get GameStop to move cash to btc next! To the moon &#x1f680;&#x1f602;&#x1f602;&#x1f602;,&#8221; Calacanis posted. &#8220;What could go wrong!&#8221;
Other users <a href="https://x.com/GodwinMungwadzi/status/1860984841153417618">joked</a> that MicroStrategy CEO Michael Saylor had created an &#8220;infinite money printing machine.&#8221;
What&#8217;s Next?: Other meme and retail-oriented stocks could join the fray, including GameStop Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GME#NYSE">GME</a>) and AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMC#NYSE">AMC</a>). Benzinga has contacted both companies for comment on the matter. 
GameStop&#8217;s board <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/23/12/36142175/meme-king-ryan-cohen-now-able-to-trade-stocks-with-gamestop-funds">approved a plan in 2023</a> allowing CEO Ryan Cohen to have increased control over the company&#8217;s large cash hoard. Cohen could allocate cash to alternative investments.
Some investors are seemingly not enthused. A <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/gaming/24/06/39358657/exclusive-what-matters-most-to-retail-investors-at-gamestops-annual-shareholders-meeting-roaring-k">Benzinga poll in June</a> found that GameStop followers were least interested in cryptocurrency investments among other potential company announcements.
