DRAFTKINGS INC-CL A

DraftKings

DraftKings got its start in 2012 as an innovator in daily fantasy sports. Then, following a Supreme Court ruling in 2018 that allowed states to legalize online sports wagering, the company expanded into online sports and casino gambling, where it generally holds the number two or three revenue share position across states in which it competes. DraftKings is now live with online or retail sports betting in about 25 states and iGaming in five states, with both products available to around 40% of Canada's population. In 2024, sports revenue was 61% of total sales, i-gaming 32%, and fantasy and lottery 7%. The company also operates a non-fungible token commissioned-based marketplace and develops and licenses online gaming products.

Roche Holdings AG (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RHHBY#OTC">RHHBY</a>) on Thursday presented new data at the AD/PD 2025 International Conference on Alzheimer&#8217;s <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/health-care" rel="noreferrer noopener">and Parkinson&#8217;s Diseases</a>.
Highlights included presentations from the ongoing trontinemab Phase 1b/2a Brainshuttle AD study, which <a target="_blank" href="https://www.roche.com/media/releases/med-cor-2025-04-03" rel="noreferrer noopener">demonstrated</a> dose-dependent rapid amyloid depletion from the brain and the potential of the Elecsys pTau181 plasma test to rule out amyloid pathology.
Also Read: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44634689/sareptaroche-suspend-elevidys-gene-therapy-trials-in-europe-after-patient-death" rel="noreferrer noopener">Sarepta/Roche Suspend Elevidys Gene Therapy Trials In Europe After Patient Death</a>
<ul>
<li>Preliminary results for trontinemab from 114 participants in the 1.8 or 3.6 mg/kg suggest a rapid and deep, dose-dependent reduction of amyloid plaques in the brain as measured by amyloid positron emission tomography (PET).</li>
<li>Amyloid plaques are extracellular deposits of aggregated amyloid beta peptides (Aβ) that are a hallmark of Alzheimer&#8217;s disease, disrupting brain function and contributing to cognitive decline.</li>
<li>Trontinemab reduced amyloid levels below the 24 centiloid threshold in 81% of participants (n=21/26) in the 3.6 mg/kg dose group after 28 weeks.</li>
<li>These data were reinforced by early and significant reductions in fluid biomarkers of Alzheimer&#8217;s disease, including total tau, phosphorylated Tau (pTau)181, pTau217, and neurogranin measured in cerebrospinal fluid and plasma.</li>
</ul>
Trontinemab continues to show a favorable safety and tolerability profile. Amyloid-related imaging abnormalities-edema/effusion (ARIA-E) were observed in &lt;5% (n=3/114) of participants (blinded data), which were radiographically mild, and there was one case associated with mild symptoms.
Trontinemab is currently being studied in the Phase Ib/IIa Brainshuttle AD study assessing the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of trontinemab in participants with Alzheimer&#8217;s disease.
Roche also announced that it would initiate a Phase 3 program for trontinemab, which is expected later this year.
Results from 604 participants in a multicentre study of Roche&#8217;s Elecsys pTau181 plasma test were presented, demonstrating its potential to accurately rule out amyloid pathology, a hallmark of Alzheimer&#8217;s disease, in people with cognitive impairment.
Roche anticipates tests being available in Europe by late 2025, with the U.S. following.
Price Action: RHHBY stock closed lower by 4.37% to $37.65 on Friday.

Artesian Water Company, Inc. ("Artesian"), a subsidiary of Artesian Resources Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARTNA#NASDAQ">ARTNA</a>), filed an application with the Delaware Public Service Commission (PSC) today for a change in customer rates. The rate application submitted to the PSC for review and approval consists of a requested increase in revenue of 12.41%, or approximately $10.8 million, on an annualized basis. The increase also reflects the recovery of investments made under the Distribution System Improvement Charge (DSIC) of 1.66% currently in place that will reset to 0.0% once new base rates are implemented, meaning the incremental increase to existing billed rates would be 10.75%. This rate filing will undergo extensive review by both the PSC and the Division of the Public Advocate (DPA).
The request addresses investments in water utility infrastructure made by Artesian since October 1, 2023 and projected to be made through September 30, 2025. It also addresses increases in costs necessary to provide reliable service while continuing to maintain compliance with more stringent water quality regulations.

<h2>Get to Know KKR Better</h2>
KKR is one of the world's largest alternative asset managers, with $624.4 billion in total managed assets, including $505.7 billion in fee-earning AUM, at the end of September 2024. The company has two core segments: asset management (which includes private markets-private equity, credit, infrastructure, energy, and real estate-and public markets-primarily credit and hedge/investment fund platforms) and insurance (following the firm's initial investment in, and then ultimate purchase of, Global Atlantic Financial Group, which is engaged in retirement/annuity and life insurance lines as well as reinsurance).
<h3>A Deep Dive into KKR's Financials</h3>
Market Capitalization: Surpassing industry standards, the company's market capitalization asserts its dominance in terms of size, suggesting a robust market position.
Decline in Revenue: Over the 3 months period, KKR faced challenges, resulting in a decline of approximately -26.81% in revenue growth as of 31 December, 2024. This signifies a reduction in the company's top-line earnings. As compared to competitors, the company encountered difficulties, with a growth rate lower than the average among peers in the Financials sector.
Net Margin: KKR's net margin falls below industry averages, indicating challenges in achieving strong profitability. With a net margin of 35.17%, the company may face hurdles in effective cost management.
Return on Equity (ROE): KKR's ROE surpasses industry standards, highlighting the company's exceptional financial performance. With an impressive 4.72% ROE, the company effectively utilizes shareholder equity capital.
Return on Assets (ROA): The company's ROA is below industry benchmarks, signaling potential difficulties in efficiently utilizing assets. With an ROA of 0.31%, the company may need to address challenges in generating satisfactory returns from its assets.
Debt Management: The company faces challenges in debt management with a debt-to-equity ratio higher than the industry average. With a ratio of 2.15, caution is advised due to increased financial risk.
<h2>The Basics of Analyst Ratings</h2>
Analysts are specialists within banking and financial systems that typically report for specific stocks or within defined sectors. These people research company financial statements, sit in conference calls and meetings, and speak with relevant insiders to determine what are known as analyst ratings for stocks. Typically, analysts will rate each stock once a quarter. 
Some analysts publish their predictions for metrics such as growth estimates, earnings, and revenue to provide additional guidance with their ratings. When using analyst ratings, it is important to keep in mind that stock and sector analysts are also human and are only offering their opinions to investors.

Expert Outlook: Charles Schwab Through The Eyes Of 15 Analysts

President Donald Trump&#8216;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44646719/pdd-stock-drops-as-trumps-new-tariffs-threaten-chinese-e-commerce-giants" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">reciprocal tariffs on</a> April 2 (weighted average tariff of 18.2%, inclusive of a 10% baseline tariff and varying levels by individual country) have the potential to impact end demand trends and economic activity (both enterprise and consumer spending) for the remainder of the year, as per Goldman Sachs analyst Eric Sheridan.
Sheridan expects heightened uncertainty to slow corporate decisions between the second and fourth quarters of 2025, including a pullback in real-time investment areas (brand advertising, hiring) and management teams being more reactionary around other longer-dated investment areas (CapEx, R&amp;D, M&amp;A).
The visibility into AI CapEx&#8217;s return profile remains unclear, with broad enterprise adoption rates and consumer behavior shifts likely playing out over multiple years.
Also Read: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/04/44645946/microsoft-halts-data-center-expansions-due-to-semiconductor-tariff-concerns-ai-overcapacity-fears" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Microsoft Halts Data Center Expansions Due To Semiconductor Tariff Concerns, AI Overcapacity Fears</a>
The hyperscalers remain committed to this current CapEx cycle and noted little downside to fiscal 2025 CapEx guidance for Sheridan&#8217;s companies. Under that framework, the analyst would expect that investor debates about the level of CapEx investments will only intensify in the next 6 months.
Based on Sheridan&#8217;s conversations, investor fears up until April had been more anticipatory and reactive to data points in other industries. Through the end of March, the analyst still felt relatively comfortable that his coverage&#8217;s first-quarter operating performance reflected his current estimates.
Sheridan noted the main realized headwinds to his coverage in the first quarter as the overall slowdown of travel trends and the continued softening of the lower-end consumer concerning discretionary eCommerce goods.
Looking forward, Sheridan noted a rising debate about whether tariffs might push the US consumer away from goods toward more services.
For his coverage, uncertainty remains on whether service sectors like experiences, travel, and mobility are relative beneficiaries of sharply increased tariffs on goods.
Sheridan also noted tariffs potentially supporting a growing mix of non-discretionary goods in consumer baskets.
Based on the analyst&#8217;s recent industry conversations, advertising spending is likely to see some impact for the remainder of the year as companies weigh both lower potential end demand and higher input cost inflation. While overall ad spending tends to be a bit of a lagging indicator, the programmatic nature of digital makes certain digital channels and platforms more volatile and subject to real-time pullbacks.
Within digital, Sheridan noted platform exposure to certain pockets of ad spend will dictate the level of headwinds each company sees for the remainder of the year.
On TikTok US, press reports indicate an increasing likelihood of some resolution to keep TikTok operational in the US. Even with a potential resolution, Sheridan&#8217;s channel checks point to a pullback from peak levels of both users, engagement, and, more materially, ad spending on the platform as the ongoing uncertainty has weighed on advertiser demand.
At a high level, tariff impacts on eCommerce businesses are largely an output of the volume and cost of goods sold (COGS) exposure by geography, how much price can be passed on to consumers, the resulting decrease in units (elasticity), how much margin can be extracted from suppliers, and the level of substitution of suppliers and geographies.
In a companion note, Sheridan exhibited an illustrative framework for Amazon.com Inc&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) 1P business concerning these factors.
As a notable offset, the closing of the de minimis exemption for China likely removes competitive pressures from the broader US eCommerce industry. The recent wave of China-based exporters (PDD Holdings Inc (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/pdd#NASDAQ">PDD</a>) Temu and TikTok Shop, and others) that have been heavily reliant on the exemption now face sizable tariffs.
Although these companies have flattened out their U.S. ad spending in recent quarters, Sheridan still anticipates slight headwinds to advertising trends due to less dense auctions if these players leave the market.
