What Analysts Are Saying About Golden Entertainment Stock

<p><strong>BofA Securities </strong>downgraded <strong>Editas Medicine Inc</strong> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EDIT#NASDAQ">EDIT</a>), citing few value-driving catalysts <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/EDIT/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">in the near term</a>.</p>
<p>In its third-quarter earnings release, Editas Medicine said it engaged an investment bank to lead the process of partnering or out-licensing reni-cel (renizgamglogene autogedtemcel, previously EDIT-301).</p>
<p>The company is developing reni-cel for sickle cell disease and transfusion-<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/11/g41710488/editas-medicine-announces-third-quarter-2024-results-and-business-updates" rel="noreferrer noopener">dependent Beta Thalassemia</a>.</p>
<p>The company is on track to share additional clinical and patient-reported outcomes data from 28 patients in the RUBY trial for sickle cell disease at the American Society of Hematology Annual Meeting in December.</p>
<p>The company has completed enrollment of the adult cohort of the EdiTHAL trial for thalassemia and continues patient dosing.</p>
<p>The analyst notes that Editas announced a shift in focus toward in vivo development, specifically working on lipid nanoparticle (LNP) formulations for treating sickle cell disease (SCD) and thalassemia.</p>
<p>While preclinical data shows some progress—29% editing in hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) and around 20% of red blood cells expressing fetal hemoglobin (HbF)—more evidence is needed to prove functional benefits and advance to clinical trials.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, competitors like <strong>Beam Therapeutics Inc </strong>(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BEAM#NASDAQ">BEAM</a>) and <strong>CRISPR Therapeutics AG</strong> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRSP#NASDAQ">CRSP</a>) are investing heavily in their in vivo programs for SCD and thalassemia, with better-prepared manufacturing and development for clinical trials.</p>
<p>Given the deprioritization of reni-cel and the increasingly competitive environment for ex vivo therapies, BofA has reduced estimates and probabilities of success in SCD and beta-thal to 10% (from 60% prior).</p>
<p>The analyst downgraded from Buy to Underperform, with a price target of $1, down from $13.</p>
<p>This intensifying competition, limited short-term clinical milestones, and declining interest in gene editing pose challenges for Editas and could pressure its stock in the near term.</p>
<p><strong>Price Action: </strong>EDIT stock is down 0.41% at $2.43 at last check Monday.</p>

This Is What Whales Are Betting On McDonald's

<p>Over half of Americans — 56% — say they plan to host guests for Thanksgiving this year. With costs rising 19% from last year, consumers are<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/econ-s/24/11/41944635/inflation-on-track-but-fed-may-go-slowly-on-interest-rate-cuts-experts-say"> feeling the pinch. </a></p>
<p><strong>What To Know: </strong>The cost of hosting Thanksgiving dinner in 2024 is up 19% from last year with an average of $431 spent on food, drink and decor for the event, according to <a href="https://www.lendingtree.com/credit-cards/study/thanksgiving-cost-report/">a survey</a> from <strong>LendingTree, Inc. </strong>(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TREE#NASDAQ">TREE</a>). </p>
<p>"Whenever you start spending more, there's always going to be more risk. That's especially true when you're spending almost 20% more than last year," said <strong>Matt Schulz</strong>, LendingTree chief credit analyst.&nbsp;</p>
<p>"Most people's budgets are tight, leaving little financial wiggle room from month to month, so a 20% increase can be a big deal," Schulz added.&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Read More: </strong><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/11/42101365/indian-billionaire-one-of-the-worlds-richest-men-indicted-for-alleged-250-million-bribery-scheme"><strong>Indian Billionaire, One Of The World&#8217;s Richest Men, Indicted For Alleged $250 Million Bribery Scheme</strong></a></p>
<p>Survey respondents said they expect to spend an average of $265 on food and drinks and $166 on decor for an average of 11 guests at their table for the holiday this year. Most hosts — 60% — expect their guests to pitch in with either money or an item to offset expenses with 25% saying they may reconsider sending an invitation next year to a guest that arrives empty-handed. </p>
<p>More than a third — 36% — of potential hosts say the amount they will spend on Thanksgiving will be a financial strain with 34% of potential hosts planning to use credit cards for Thanksgiving costs. Strikingly, 14% of hosts already regret their decision to do so. </p>
<p><strong>Sales and Promos: </strong>According to the survey, 30% of potential hosts will shop around, while 22% will use coupons and 33% will do both to help to offset costs. Retailers are trying to ease the financial strain by offering special Thanksgiving promotions and sales events.&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Walmart, Inc.</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WMT#NYSE">WMT</a>) is promoting its Inflation-Free Thanksgiving Meal for 2024, which the company says allows customers to prepare the holiday meal for under $7 per person. The total cost for the meal to serve eight people is just over $53 and includes turkey, stuffing, gravy, cranberry sauce and dessert. </p>
<p><strong>Albertsons Companies, Inc.</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ACI#NYSE">ACI</a>) is offering a Thanksgiving promotion for a free 16- to 20-pound turkey when customers spend $150 or more on groceries in a single transaction. <strong>Target Corp. </strong>(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TGT#NYSE">TGT</a>) has brought back its Thanksgiving meal deal, priced at $20, for four people. In addition to the meal, Target is offering frozen turkeys at 79 cents per pound, a 20% reduction from last year. </p>
<p>"It's such old and cliched advice, but it's true," Schulz says. "Taking the time to comparison shop can save you significant money at the holidays or any other time of year."</p>
