Silexion Therapeutics Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SLXN#NASDAQ">SLXN</a>) ("Silexion" or the "Company"), a clinical-stage biotech company developing RNA interference (RNAi) therapies for KRAS-driven cancers, today announced the completion of a comprehensive preclinical study assessing SIL204's therapeutic potential across multiple cancer types beyond pancreatic cancer. The Company is currently finalizing its analysis of the data and expects to announce comprehensive results within the next few days.
The now-completed studies evaluated SIL204, the Company's next-generation RNAi therapeutic candidate, in multiple cancer cell lines harboring KRAS mutations: GP2D (colorectal cancer), A427 (lung cancer), and Panc-1 (pancreatic cancer). These cancer types were strategically selected based on their high prevalence of KRAS mutations and significant unmet medical needs.
KRAS mutations are among the most common oncogenic drivers in human cancers, occurring in roughly 90% of pancreatic cancers, about 45% of colorectal cancers, and around 35% of non-squamous non-small-cell lung cancers. Together, these three indications underpin global treatment markets already worth well over US $30 billion a year1, yet most KRAS variants remain difficult to drug with small-molecule or antibody approaches—underscoring the potential significance of Silexion's RNAi-based strategy.

Williams-Sonoma, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WSM#NYSE">WSM</a>) will release earnings results for the first quarter, before the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/WSM/earnings">opening bell on Thursday, May 22.</a>
Analysts expect the San Francisco, California-based company to report quarterly earnings at $1.76 per share, up from $1.74 per share in the year-ago period. Williams-Sonoma projects to report quarterly revenue at $1.67 billion, compared to $1.66 billion a year earlier, according to data from <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a>.
On Monday, Barclays analyst Seth Sigman upgraded the stock from Underweight to Equal-Weight and raised the price target from $131 to $166.
With the recent buzz around Williams-Sonoma, some investors may be eyeing potential gains from the company's dividends too. As of now, Williams-Sonoma offers an annual dividend yield of 1.53%. That&#8217;s a quarterly dividend amount of 66 cents per share ($2.64 a year).  
So, how can investors exploit its dividend yield to pocket a regular $500 monthly?
To earn $500 per month or $6,000 annually from dividends alone, you would need an investment of approximately $392,138 or around 2,273 shares. For a more modest $100 per month or $1,200 per year, you would need $78,497 or around 455 shares.
To calculate: Divide the desired annual income ($6,000 or $1,200) by the dividend ($2.64 in this case). So, $6,000 / $2.64 = 2,273 ($500 per month), and $1,200 / $2.64 = 455 shares ($100 per month).
Note that dividend yield can change on a rolling basis, as the dividend payment and the stock price both fluctuate over time.
How that works: The dividend yield is computed by dividing the annual dividend payment by the stock&#8217;s current price.
For example, if a stock pays an annual dividend of $2 and is currently priced at $50, the dividend yield would be 4% ($2/$50). However, if the stock price increases to $60, the dividend yield drops to 3.33% ($2/$60). Conversely, if the stock price falls to $40, the dividend yield rises to 5% ($2/$40).
Similarly, changes in the dividend payment can impact the yield. If a company increases its dividend, the yield will also increase, provided the stock price stays the same. Conversely, if the dividend payment decreases, so will the yield.
WSM Price Action: Shares of Williams-Sonoma fell 1% to close at $172.52 on Tuesday.

<li>Neuroscience revenues of $2.62 billion rose 2.9% Y/Y as reported. They rose 3.7% Y/Y organically, aided by an increase in low-double-digit in Neuromodulation and mid-single-digit in CST, all on an organic basis.</li>
<li>Medical Surgical&nbsp;revenue of&nbsp;$2.21 billion increased by&nbsp;0.6% Y/Y&nbsp;as reported and by&nbsp;2.0%&nbsp;Y/Y organically, with a low-single-digit organic growth in both SE and ACM segments.</li>
<li>Diabetes revenue of&nbsp;$728 million increased by&nbsp;10.4% Y/Y, as reported, and by&nbsp;12.0%&nbsp;Y/Y organically.</li>
</ul>
Dividend Increase: Effective May 20, the company&#8217;s board approved an increase in cash dividend per share by 1.4% to 71 cents for the first quarter of fiscal year 2026
The dividend is payable on&nbsp;July 11, 2025, to shareholders of record as of&nbsp;June 27, 2025.
Guidance:&nbsp;Medtronic expects its fiscal year 2026 organic <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/guidance" rel="noreferrer noopener">revenue&nbsp;growth&nbsp;guidance&nbsp;of&nbsp;5%</a>.
If recent foreign currency exchange rates hold, FY26 revenue growth would be around&nbsp;&nbsp;4.8% to 5.1% on a reported basis.
Medtronic expects 2025 adjusted EPS of&nbsp;$5.50-$5.60&nbsp;versus consensus of&nbsp;$5.83.
Diabetes Business Separation: Medtronic disclosed its intention to separate its Diabetes <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/05/n45538032/medtronic-announces-intent-to-separate-diabetes-business" rel="noreferrer noopener">business into a new standalone company</a>.
This move aims to create a more focused entity with a streamlined portfolio concentrated on high-margin growth markets.
The separation, expected within 18 months, will occur through capital markets transactions, with an initial public offering (IPO) followed by a split-off as the preferred method.
Upon separation, Medtronic anticipates an immediate improvement of approximately 50 basis points in adjusted gross margin, 100 basis points in adjusted operating margins, and an immediate accretion to adjusted EPS.
The separation is also expected to allow Medtronic to retire outstanding shares without impacting cash, leading to further EPS accretion and a reduced dividend liability.

Comparable sales decreased 3.8% in the first quarter, reflecting a comparable store sales decline of 5.7% and comparable digital sales growth of 4.7%.
The quarterly gross margin rate was 28.2%, lower than 28.8% in the year-ago period, due to the net impact of merchandising activities, including higher markdown rates, digital fulfillment and supply chain costs.

Operating margin&nbsp;was 6.2 percent in 2025, compared with 5.3 percent in 2024.&nbsp; Excluding&nbsp;the litigation settlement gains, the operating income margin rate was 3.7 percent in the quarter under review.&nbsp;&nbsp;
The company said it has established an acceleration office led by&nbsp;Michael Fiddelke to enable faster decisions and execution of its core strategic initiatives in support of a return to growth.
As of the end of the quarter, Target had approximately&nbsp;$8.4 billion&nbsp;of remaining capacity under the repurchase program approved by the company&#8217;s board of directors in&nbsp;August 2021.
The company exited the quarter with cash and equivalents worth $2.887 billion. Inventory totaled $13.048 billion.

Outlook: Target lowered its FY2025 adjusted EPS guidance from $8.80–$9.80 to $7.00–$9.00 versus the $8.48 estimate and saw a sales decline in the low single digits.
Target also revised its FY2025 GAAP EPS guidance from $8.80–$9.80 to $8.00–$10.00.
