What's Going On With Pinterest Shares Friday?

The biopharmaceutical sector showed signs of recovery in the third quarter of 2024, fueled by increased investor optimism following the U.S. Federal Reserve&#8217;s interest rate cuts in September. 
According to GlobalData, the top 20 global biopharmaceutical companies <a href="https://www.globaldata.com/media/business-fundamentals/top-20-global-biopharmaceutical-companies-witness-2-growth-in-market-capitalization-in-q3-2024-reveals-globaldata/#:~:text=As%20a%20result%2C%20the%20top,data%20analytics%20and%20research%20company.">saw</a> a 2% rise in their combined market capitalization, reaching $4.3 trillion by the end of September, up from $4.2 trillion in June. 
This rebound highlights the industry&#8217;s potential for growth despite challenges earlier in the year.
Bristol-Myers Squibb &amp; Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BMY#NYSE">BMY</a>) led the market with the largest increase in capitalization, which surged by 24.6% to $105 billion. This was largely driven by advancements in its pipeline, notably the FDA&#8217;s approval of its antipsychotic drug, Cobenfy, for treating <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/09/41064867/schizophrenia-treatment-revolution-fda-approves-bristol-myers-squibb-cobenfy-as-new-class-of-trea">schizophrenia in September 2024</a>. 
Gilead Sciences Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GILD#NASDAQ">GILD</a>) also <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/11/41819570/hiv-drugmaker-gilead-reports-strongest-quarterly-performance-of-2024-analysts-boost">posted impressive growth</a>, rising 22.1% in market value, thanks to the accelerated FDA approval of Livdelzi, a treatment for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/08/40394698/fda-approves-gileads-seladelpar-for-inflammatory-liver-disease-acquired-via-4b-cymabay-deal">primary biliary cholangitis</a>, as well as the approval of its antibody-drug conjugate, Trodelvy, for HR-/HER2- breast cancer in Japan.
Sanofi SA (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SNY#NASDAQ">SNY</a>) experienced a 19.2% jump in market capitalization, largely fueled by its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/10/41541274/sanofi-earns-5b-q3-core-profit-on-strong-dupixent-and-vaccine-sales-raises-2024-forecast">flagship drug Dupixent</a>.

Similarly, AbbVie Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ABBV#NYSE">ABBV</a>) saw a 15.2% increase in its market cap, driven by the continued success of its immunology drugs—Humira, Skyrizi, and Rinvoq—which together generated nearly $7 billion <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/07/39960414/abbvies-q2-earnings-beat-estimates-raises-annual-profit-on-strong-sales-from-newer-immunology-and">in Q2 2024 sales</a>.
Alnylam Pharmaceuticals Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ALNY#NASDAQ">ALNY</a>) joined the top 20 biopharmaceutical companies with a 14.9% rise in its market value, following its RNAi drug vutrisiran's positive results in treating ATTR <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/08/40652720/alnylam-pharmaceuticals-stock-falls-after-detailed-vutrisiran-data-for-a-condition-with-stiff-hea">amyloidosis with cardiomyopathy</a>. 
Roche Holdings AG's (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RHHBY#OTC">RHHBY</a>) market capitalization grew by 13.8%, spurred by the FDA&#8217;s approval of two key products, Ocrevus Zunovo for multiple sclerosis and Tecentriq Hybreza for oncology indications, the latter being the only approved subcutaneous <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/08/40652720/alnylam-pharmaceuticals-stock-falls-after-detailed-vutrisiran-data-for-a-condition-with-stiff-hea">PD-L1 inhibitor available</a>.
On the downside, Wegovy maker Novo Nordisk A/S (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVO#NYSE">NVO</a>) saw an 18.2% drop in its market cap after the FDA rejected its BLA filing for the once-<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/07/39732571/fda-rejects-novo-nordisks-weekly-insulin-requests-information-related-to-manufacturing-process-ty">weekly insulin icodec</a>.
Similarly, Eli Lilly &amp; Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LLY#NYSE">LLY</a>) reported a slight decline of 2.1%, though both companies retained their leadership in diabetes and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/10/41622207/eli-lilly-q3-earnings-mounjaro-sales-more-than-double-takes-2-98-billion-hit-to-profit-cuts-annua">weight loss drugs</a>. 
Merck &amp; Co Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRK#NYSE">MRK</a>) also faced a 8.2% fall in market value, largely due to disappointing sales of its HPV vaccine, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/11/41693101/mercks-gardasil-shot-challenges-to-continue-analysts-optimistic-for-newly-approved-">Gardasil, in China</a>.

Bristol-Myers Squibb Leads Biopharma Recovery With Almost 25% Growth In Market Cap, But Novo Nordisk And Lilly Suffer Market Setbacks

The cannabis market is facing heightened volatility <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">post-election</a> as investor concerns mount over political uncertainty and the fallout from Florida's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/11/41775201/cannabis-reform-stumbles-in-2024-elections-a-state-by-state-breakdown-as-stocks-take-a-hit">failed legalization vote</a>, leading to significant selloffs in top U.S. and Canadian cannabis stocks. Adult-use legalization was also <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/11/41775201/cannabis-reform-stumbles-in-2024-elections-a-state-by-state-breakdown-as-stocks-take-a-hit">rejected</a> in North Dakota and South Dakota.
Given this setup, investors might be asking: was the post-elections selloff an overreaction or a rational market adjustment?
Experts analysts from Viridian Capital Advisors weighed in on the debate.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Market Meltdown: Was The Sell-Off Justified?</h3>
In the wake of Florida&#8217;s failed ballot vote for adult-use cannabis, the market cap of 31 publicly traded cannabis companies fell by $2.6 billion from Friday, November 1 to Wednesday, November 6.
Florida&#8217;s medical cannabis market alone is projected to reach $2.1 billion in sales by 2024. 
If adult-use legalization had passed, it could have effectively doubled sales, adding another $2.1 billion. 
Applying a conservative 30% EBITDA margin to these potential sales would yield an EBITDA loss of $630 million. 
Using a 5x multiple, also considered conservative, the projected decline in market cap would be around $3.15 billion — suggesting that the $2.6 billion markdown might not have been as exaggerated as it seems.
However, there's a caveat: not all companies on the list have operations in Florida, though 81% of the market cap is held by firms actively operating there. 
A greater concern is the broader impact on the industry's growth narrative.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Some Earnings Added Pessimism</h3>
For <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/author/viridian-capital-advisors">Viridian Capital Advisors</a>, in addition to the disappointing ballot results, earnings reports from major players including Trulieve (OTCQX:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TCNNF#OTCQX">TCNNF</a>), TerrAscend (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TRSSF#OTC">TRSSF</a>), Curaleaf (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CURLF#OTC">CURLF</a>), <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/11/41808095/the-cannabist-co-q3-revenue-declines-8-completes-5m-asset-sale-exits-florida-market-amid-restruc">Cannabist</a> (OTCQX:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CBSTF#OTCQX">CBSTF</a>) and GTI (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GTBIF#OTC">GTBIF</a>) have compounded concerns.
The results revealed significant misses, even against lowered expectations. 
Aggregate revenues for these companies are projected to be down 0.4% year-over-year and 1.1% sequentially. The decline in EBITDA is 2.2% year-over-year and 4.2% sequentially.
The failed vote has undeniably stretched the industry's growth timeline, leaving investors to weigh <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/11/41823267/cannabis-stocks-is-it-time-to-buy-the-dip-after-elections-and-legalization-setbacks">potential catalysts </a>against a stark present reality.
