Benzinga examined the prospects for <a href="http://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">many investors' favorite stocks</a> over the last week — here's a look at some of our top stories.
Wall Street surged this week as easing geopolitics and a potential pause in U.S.-China tariffs lifted sentiment. The S&amp;P 500 and Nasdaq hit record highs, boosted significantly by Nvidia (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), whose stock jumped by about 10% to record its highest valuation — $3.8 trillion — overtaking Microsoft (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) as the world's most valuable company
The tech rally reflected strong earnings from Nvidia's AI-centric chip business and supplier Micron (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MU#NASDAQ">MU</a>), while broader market gains were bolstered by renewed risk appetite in equities.
Next week, investors will track the June jobs report, rhetoric on tariffs — including the July 8 "Liberation Day" deadline — and upcoming July 4 tax‑and‑spending legislative actions that could influence rates and yields.
Benzinga provides daily reports on the stocks most popular with investors. Here are a few of this past week's most bullish and bearish posts that are worth another look.

Benzinga Bulls And Bears: Nvidia, Micron, HIMS — And Markets Soar On Mideast And Tariff Relief

On Thursday, Altimmune, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ALT#NASDAQ">ALT</a>) released topline results from the IMPACT Phase 2b trial of pemvidutide in metabolic dysfunction-<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/health-care" rel="noreferrer noopener">associated steatohepatitis (MASH)</a>.
MASH is a severe liver disease characterized by fat buildup and inflammation in the liver, which can lead to cirrhosis and liver cancer if untreated.
The Phase 2b trial enrolled 212 participants with biopsy-confirmed MASH and fibrosis stages F2/F3 with and without diabetes randomized 1:2:2 to receive either weekly subcutaneous pemvidutide at 1.2 mg or 1.8 mg doses or placebo for 24 weeks.&nbsp;

Treatment discontinuation rates were low, with 9% of participants <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/health-care/25/06/46116103/altimmune-stock-sinks-after-mid-stage-data-from-fatty-liver-candidate" rel="noreferrer noopener">prematurely discontinuing treatment</a>.
In an intent-to-treat (ITT) analysis, the proportions of participants achieving MASH resolution without worsening of fibrosis at 24 weeks were 59.1% and 52.1% for pemvidutide 1.2 mg and 1.8 mg, respectively, versus 19.1% for placebo (p&lt; 0.0001 both doses).
In an ITT analysis, the effects on fibrosis improvement without worsening of MASH were 31.8% and 34.5% for pemvidutide 1.2 mg and 1.8 mg, respectively, compared with 25.9% for placebo (differences not statistically significant).
HC Wainwright reiterated a Buy rating for Altimmune with a price forecast of $12. The firm believes these data support advancing pemvidutide to Phase 3 and strengthens its case as a potential best-in-class therapy. Analyst Patrick R. Trucchio suggested the recent stock price fall was overdone, given expectations for a positive fibrosis outcome at 48 weeks.
Conversely, William Blair maintained a Market Perform rating, citing &#8220;underwhelming&#8221; results. Analyst Andy Hsieh highlighted the lack of statistically significant fibrosis improvement at the 24-week primary endpoint and expressed concerns about demonstrating stringent fibrosis improvement at the 48-week mark since no liver biopsy will be conducted. Hsieh also noted a lack of clear differentiation for pemvidutide in the increasingly competitive MASH market.
Price Action: ALT stock is trading lower by 1.80% to $3.545 at last check Friday.

Altimmune shares are trading lower after the company released topline results from the IMPACT Phase 2b trial of pemvidutide in metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis.

On Thursday, Altimmune, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ALT#NASDAQ">ALT</a>) released topline results from the IMPACT Phase 2b trial of pemvidutide in metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH).
Treatment discontinuation rates were low, with 9% of participants <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/06/g46111766/altimmune-announces-positive-topline-results-from-the-impact-phase-2b-trial-of-pemvidutide-in-the-" rel="noreferrer noopener">prematurely discontinuing treatment</a>.
In an intent-to-treat (ITT) analysis, the proportions of participants achieving MASH resolution without worsening of fibrosis at 24 weeks were 59.1% and 52.1% for pemvidutide 1.2 mg and 1.8 mg, respectively, versus 19.1% for placebo (p&lt; 0.0001 both doses).

In an ITT analysis, the effects on fibrosis improvement without worsening of MASH were 31.8% and 34.5% for pemvidutide 1.2 mg and 1.8 mg, respectively, compared with 25.9% for placebo (differences not statistically significant).
A supplemental AI-based analysis demonstrated statistically significant reductions in fibrosis, including 30.6% of participants receiving pemvidutide 1.8 mg achieving a 60% or more reduction in fibrosis compared to 8.2% receiving placebo.
Statistically significant changes in well-established non-invasive tests (NITs) of fibrosis were also observed compared with placebo at both doses.
Together, these data suggest strong evidence of pemvidutide&#8217;s anti-fibrotic activity in the MASH population.
At 24 weeks, mean weight loss in pemvidutide-treated participants was 5.0% and 6.2% at the 1.2 mg and 1.8 mg doses, respectively, versus 1.0% in the placebo arm (p&lt; 0.001, both doses).
Pemvidutide also demonstrated favorable safety and tolerability, with 0.0% and 1.2% adverse events (AE) related discontinuations in the pemvidutide 1.2 mg and 1.8 mg groups versus 2.4% in the placebo group, and there were no serious adverse events (SAEs) related to study medication.
25.8% and 24.1% of participants receiving pemvidutide 1.2 mg and 1.8 mg achieved the stringent endpoint of MASH resolution and fibrosis improvement versus 13.5% in participants receiving placebo (differences not significant).
Participants receiving pemvidutide 1.2 mg and 1.8 mg achieved weight loss of 5.0% and 6.2% vs. 1.0% in placebo (p&lt; 0.001), with the trajectory showing no plateauing at 24 weeks.
Liver fat reductions of 58.0% and 62.8% were achieved in participants who received pemvidutide 1.2 mg and 1.8 mg, respectively, vs. 16.2% in placebo participants (p&lt; 0.001, both doses).
AEs leading to treatment discontinuation were 0.0% and 1.2% for pemvidutide 1.2 mg and 1.8 mg, respectively, vs. 2.4% in participants on placebo.
Price Action: ALT stock is trading lower by 59.9% to $3.090 at last check Thursday.

Supplemental AI-based analysis demonstrated statistically significant reductions in liver fibrosis at 24 weeks
Weight loss of up to 6.2% at 24 weeks with no plateauing
Potentially best-in-class tolerability, with less than 1% treatment discontinuations due to adverse events in pemvidutide-treated participants
Conference call to be held on June 26, 2025 at 8:30 am ET
GAITHERSBURG, Md., June 26, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- &nbsp;<a href="https://www.globenewswire.com/Tracker?data=YOr6zKCgGqQv3F1roOZpxCdTUklm3pOuPVaxhGdxtVG3jSUzpwhMZKmQoXcfK34GebAUEtaHt8auaaRaQOTAqw==">Altimmune, Inc.</a> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ALT#NASDAQ">ALT</a>), a late clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing novel peptide-based therapeutics for liver and cardiometabolic diseases, today announced positive topline results from the IMPACT Phase 2b trial of pemvidutide in metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH).
The Phase 2b trial enrolled 212 participants with biopsy-confirmed MASH and fibrosis stages F2/F3 with and without diabetes randomized 1:2:2 to receive either weekly subcutaneous pemvidutide at 1.2 mg or 1.8 mg doses or placebo for 24 weeks. Treatment discontinuation rates were low, with only 9% of participants prematurely discontinuing treatment. In an intent-to-treat (ITT) analysis, in which participants with missing biopsies were considered non-responders, the proportions of participants achieving MASH resolution without worsening of fibrosis at 24 weeks were 59.1% and 52.1% for pemvidutide 1.2 mg and 1.8 mg, respectively versus 19.1% for placebo (p&lt; 0.0001 both doses). The effects on fibrosis improvement without worsening of MASH in an ITT analysis were 31.8% and 34.5% for pemvidutide 1.2 mg and 1.8 mg, respectively compared with 25.9% for placebo (differences not statistically significant). A supplemental AI-based analysis demonstrated statistically significant reductions in fibrosis, including 30.6% of participants receiving pemvidutide 1.8 mg achieving a 60% or more reduction in fibrosis compared to 8.2% receiving placebo (p&lt; 0.001). Statistically significant changes in well-established non-invasive tests (NITs) of fibrosis, including Enhanced Liver Fibrosis score (ELF) and Vibration-Controlled Transient Elastography (VCTE) were also observed compared with placebo at both doses. Together, these data suggest strong evidence of anti-fibrotic activity of pemvidutide in the MASH population. At 24 weeks, mean weight loss in pemvidutide-treated participants was 5.0% and 6.2% at the 1.2 mg and 1.8 mg doses, respectively, versus 1.0% in the placebo arm (p&lt; 0.001, both doses). Pemvidutide also demonstrated favorable safety and tolerability, with 0.0% and 1.2% adverse events (AE) related discontinuations in the pemvidutide 1.2 mg and 1.8 mg groups versus 2.4% in the placebo group, and there were no serious adverse events (SAEs) related to study medication.
