Following a strong rise in November, the U.S. consumer morale declined sharply in December, dragged down by concerns <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/econ-s">about future economic conditions. </a>
The Conference Board&#8217;s Consumer Confidence Index declined by 8.1 points to 104.7, moving back into the mid-range levels observed over the past two years. 
The most significant drop occurred in the Expectations Index, which fell by 12.6 points to 81.1, teetering just above the critical threshold of 80. Historically, values below this level have been associated with recessionary periods.
&#8220;Compared to last month, consumers in December were substantially less optimistic about future business conditions and incomes. Moreover, pessimism about future employment prospects returned after cautious optimism prevailed in October and November," Dana M. Peterson, chief economist&nbsp;at The Conference Board.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Current Conditions: Labor Market Strong, Business Sentiment Weakens</h3>
Consumers' assessment of the present economy was mixed in December. Labor market sentiment improved, with 37.0% of respondents stating jobs were "plentiful," up from 33.6% in November, while those saying jobs were "hard to get" fell to 14.8% from 15.2%.
However, business conditions showed signs of deterioration. The share of consumers reporting that business conditions were "good" declined to 19.1% from 21.6%, while those describing them as "bad" increased to 16.7% from 15.3%.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Future Expectations Show Growing Pessimism</h3>
&#8220;While weaker consumer assessments of the present situation and expectations contributed to the decline, the expectations component saw the sharpest drop," Peterson added. 
The sharp drop in the Expectations Index highlights a growing sense of unease about the future. 
Only 21.7% of respondents expected better business conditions in the next six months, down from 24.7% in November. Meanwhile, the percentage anticipating worse conditions rose to 18.3% from 15.9%.
Labor market optimism also faded. The share of consumers expecting more jobs to become available dropped to 19.1% from 22.8%, while those anticipating fewer jobs increased to 21.3% from 17.9%. 
Personal income prospects mirrored this negative trend, with only 17.2% expecting their incomes to increase, down from 20.7% in November. Those expecting incomes to decline rose to 14.3% from 12.1%.
December brought a dip in stock market optimism. The percentage of consumers expecting stock prices to rise in the next year fell from a record high of 57.2% in November to 52.9%. Those anticipating a decline in stock prices increased from 21.7% to 25%.
Interest rate expectations were mixed. The share of consumers expecting rates to rise ticked up slightly to 48.5%, while those expecting rates to fall slipped to 29.3%. These shifts reflect lingering uncertainty about the Federal Reserve's monetary policy trajectory.
Concerns about tariffs also increased, with 46% of consumers expecting tariffs to raise the cost of living, while 21% believed tariffs could create more U.S. jobs.
The S&amp;P 500 index – as tracked by the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>)&nbsp;–&nbsp;was up 0.2% by the time of this writing Monday. The index tracking the 500 largest U.S. companies has climbed nearly 25% year to date, matching the gains recorded in 2023.

Analysts revised/maintained the price target for Carnival Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CCL#NYSE">CCL</a>) following better-than-expected fourth-quarter <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/12/42621270/carnival-cruises-into-success-with-record-bookings-and-strong-q4-earnings" rel="noreferrer noopener">2024 results reported last week</a>.
The company reported sales growth of 10% year-over-year to $5.938 billion, marginally beating the street view of $5.932 billion and adjusted EPS of $0.14,&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings" rel="noreferrer noopener">beating the consensus estimate of $0.08.</a>
JP Morgan analyst Matthew R. Boss raised the price target to $31 from $29 while <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ccl/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">maintaining an Overweight rating</a>.
The analyst says that looking ahead to 2025, CEO Weinstein noted that nearly two-thirds of the year is already booked, and the company expects another year of big yield improvement, surpassing historical growth rates.
The cumulative advanced bookings for 2025 are 16 points higher compared to the same time last year, setting an &#8220;all-time high&#8221; for both price and occupancy, with each quarter of 2025 booked above 2024 levels, adds the analyst.
Boss writes that with increased advertising investment (after previous underinvestment compared to peers) and a more conservative capacity growth strategy, CCL is positioned to improve brand clarity, pricing power, and accelerate efforts to de-lever its balance sheet.
Truist Securities analyst C. Patrick Scholes maintained a Buy rating with a price target of $29.
The analyst says that fourth-quarter exceeded high Street and investor expectations, with upside to earnings driven by better-than-expected costs, particularly in the Commission, transportation, and other line items.
Scholes writes that he does not expect investor disappointment with the newly introduced 2025 earnings guide, which is roughly in line or slightly below consensus, as cruise lines typically provide conservative guidance at the start of the year due to global uncertainties.
With strong booking pricing trends continuing, the analyst anticipates further opportunities for quarterly earnings beats and upgrades.
Other analyst price target/rating revisions:
<ul>
<li>Stifel analyst increased the price target to $34 from $32, while reiterating a Buy rating.</li>
<li>Barclays analyst raised the price target to $32 from $31, while reiterating an Overweight rating.</li>
</ul>
Investors can gain exposure to the stock via&nbsp;AdvisorShares Hotel ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BEDZ#NYSE">BEDZ</a>) and&nbsp;Defiance Hotel, Airline, and Cruise ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRUZ#NYSE">CRUZ</a>).
Price Action: CCL shares are down 4.89% at $25.49 at the last check Monday.

KB Home's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KBH#NYSE">KBH</a>) short percent of float has fallen 9.88% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 5.68 million shares sold short, which is 12.5% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 6.85 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure.

'Exclusive: Lucid to Adopt New Sales Model in Europe, Expand to Belgium' - Electric Vehicles

HC Wainwright &amp; Co. analyst Raghuram Selvaraju upgraded Aclaris Therapeutics Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ACRS#NASDAQ">ACRS</a>) from Neutral to Buy and a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ACRS/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">price target of $20</a>. The stock gained after the rerating.
In a press release last month, Aclaris announced that it had entered into an exclusive license agreement with privately held Biosion, Inc. for worldwide rights (excluding Greater China) to BSI-045B, a potential best-in-class, clinical-stage, novel anti-TSLP monoclonal antibody, and BSI-502, a potential best-in-class, preclinical-stage, novel bispecific antibody directed against both TSLP and IL4R.
Despite recent advances in anti-TSLP and anti-IL4R therapies, there remains a substantial unmet need for more effective and convenient treatment options.

In a completed Phase 2a, single-arm, proof-of-concept trial conducted in the U.S. in 22 patients with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis, BSI-045B was observed to have a pharmacodynamic, safety, and efficacy profile that could position it as a potential best-in-class therapy.
BSI-045B is also being advanced in multiple Phase 2 studies in China by Biosion&#8217;s regional partner, targeting severe asthma and chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps, accelerating the potential to show proof-of-concept across additional indications.
Selvaraju expects Aclaris to initiate multiple mid-stage clinical studies next year in the U.S. due to potential positive results from the Chinese trials. 
This should pave the way for registration programs in the coming years. From Selvaraju&#8217;s vantage point, BSI-045B could generate billions of dollars in sales across solely the U.S. and European Union markets in only chronic asthma and atopic dermatitis indications.
This candidate could reach the U.S. market in 2029 to treat chronic asthma and in 2030 for treating AD, with potential peak annual sales of roughly $9.8 billion. 
Selvaraju&#8217;s forecasts include pricing in the $30K range in the U.S. and the $10K range in Europe, roughly in line with net pricing for Dupixent (dupilumab), the most commercially successful of the currently-marketed anti-IL-4R monoclonal antibodies with estimated 2024 sales totaling roughly 13 billion euros. 
Selvaraju noted that an earlier-generation monoclonal antibody, the anti-IgE agent Xolair (omalizumab), generated sales approaching $4 billion in 2023. Selvaraju ascribed a 30% probability of approval to BSI-045B in chronic asthma and a 20% probability of approval to this candidate in AD.
Selvaraju projected fourth-quarter revenue of $2.9 million and EPS of $(0.10).
Price Action: ACRS stock is up 8% at $2.94 at last check Monday.

Direct Digital Shares Resume Trade Then Again Halted On Circuit Breaker To The Upside, Stock Now Up 618.2%

Fed chair Powell dropped a big lump of coal in the market&#8217;s stocking last week as he reigned in the Fed&#8217;s rate cut projections for 2025. While the Fed cut its key benchmark rate by the expected 25 basis points, Powell tempered expectations on future rate cuts based on sticky inflation data and the continued robust spending from American consumers.
The Fed's so-called ‘dot plot,' which anticipates the frequency and strength of future rate activity, now indicates only two rate cuts in 2025, with a Fed funds rate at 3.75% &#8211; 4.00% by the end of next December.
Markets did not take kindly to the news, and major indices closed starkly lower after being flat for most of the day. Nasdaq led the losers, with the tech-heavy index dropping more than 3.5%.
After hours, AI-darling Micron Technology added to the pain with a significant earnings miss, and the stock had its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42599089/us-stocks-edge-up-micron-suffers-worst-day-since-march-2020-bond-yields-surge-whats-driving-markets-thursday?adt_ei=%7B%7Bemail%7D%7D&amp;he=%7B%7Bemail%7D%7D">worst performance since March 2020</a> the following day. Add in a close-call government shutdown and low holiday trading volume, and it was the perfect storm for some year-end volatility. And it won&#8217;t stop there.
A cautious Fed means cautious investors and a change in strategy is necessary for 2025.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How We Chose These Stocks</h2>
Is this the end of the AI-infused tech rally? The prospects of rate reductions slashing capital costs and juicing stock prices have diminished, and AI stocks are beginning to see some cracks form. Even the stalwart NVIDIA is in correction territory after touching the $152 mark earlier this month. While AI isn't exiting the investment landscape anytime soon, the big winners over the last two years look to be finally taking a breather. In their place, we've identified five tech stocks not dependent on AI that could lead the way in 2025.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/goog#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>)</h3>
Google-parent Alphabet Inc. seems to battle antitrust action every few years, causing a drawdown that eventually rebounds once investors realize the company still makes boatloads of cash every quarter. GOOG revenue and earnings have increased every quarter since March 2023, and profit margins are finally back above 27% for the first time since March 2022. The stock slumped in the summer following a poor earnings report and again in November on (you guessed it) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/legal/24/11/42053249/google-could-lose-chrome-browser-in-dojs-latest-antitrust-move?adt_ei=%7B%7Bemail%7D%7D&amp;he=%7B%7Bemail%7D%7D">antitrust concerns</a>, but it&#8217;s currently back near all-time highs.

Google's recent quantum computing breakthrough unveiled a chip capable of speeds beyond <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/24/12/42397333/google-quantum-ais-new-willow-chip-can-do-in-minutes-that-supercomputers-would-take-10-septillion-years?adt_ei=%7B%7Bemail%7D%7D&amp;he=%7B%7Bemail%7D%7D">any in the known universe</a>, which could become an investment theme in 2025 (more on that later). Additionally, Waymo is one of the most significant success stories related to autonomous driving to date. The company <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/24/12/42523474/alphabets-waymo-expands-global-reach-with-tokyo-robotaxi-testing-eyes-left-hand-traffic-challenges?adt_ei=%7B%7Bemail%7D%7D&amp;he=%7B%7Bemail%7D%7D">recently announced</a> a new service in Tokyo, its first international city, and recent testing data continues to show impressive <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/06/39394686/alphabet-unit-waymo-claims-lower-crash-rate-despite-regulator-probes-into-risky-driving-behavior-thi?adt_ei=%7B%7Bemail%7D%7D&amp;he=%7B%7Bemail%7D%7D">safety statistics</a>. Alphabet is also the parent of YouTube, which is the dominant way people consume podcasts and short-length videos and its YouTubeTV streaming service has an impressive sports package (and little pushback to price increases).
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Uber Technologies Inc. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/uber#NYSE">UBER</a>)</h3>
It's been a tumultuous year for Uber. The company finally posted a positive annual net income figure in 2023, and the stock rallied from $25 to $80 between December 2022 and February 2024. But the rally stalled there, and the stock bounced between $60 and $80 for most of the last nine months.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="364" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/23133715/UBER-1024x364.png" alt="" class="wp-image-704750" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/23133715/UBER-1024x364.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/23133715/UBER-300x107.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/23133715/UBER-768x273.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/23133715/UBER.png 1363w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
We think this recent drawdown is overdone, and the stock could be poised for a rally in 2025. Despite the proliferation of Waymo, Uber is still the dominant force in rideshare, and its ride-hailing market share is actually expanding compared to its biggest rival, Lyft. From a technical standpoint, the stock is oversold according to the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and the 50-day moving average is still hovering above the 200-day MA. As long as the 50-day stays above the 200-day, UBER shares might be an interesting buy at this level.

As mentioned above, if AI takes a breather over the next few months, one investment theme that could emerge is quantum computing. Quantum computing stocks have rallied hard in the last month, led by the aptly named Quantum Computing Inc. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/qubt#NASDAQ">QUBT</a>). However, Quantum Computing Inc. used to be known as Innovative Beverage Group, which raises some questions about its dedication to the industry. There may be better choices to take advantage of this trend, like Rigetti Computing Inc.

RGTI shares also experienced a meteoric rise over the last month, but not at the level of QUBT despite a much longer history in the quantum computing space. That could be a good development for investors, as Rigetti is better positioned to thrive if quantum computing takes off thanks to its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/mid-cap/24/12/42654955/why-are-rigetti-computing-shares-surging-on-monday?adt_ei=%7B%7Bemail%7D%7D&amp;he=%7B%7Bemail%7D%7D">innovative product line</a> and decade-plus history in the industry.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">CACI International Inc. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/caci#NYSE">CACI</a>)</h3>
CACI provides technology solutions as a defense contractor, and it could see tailwinds in the coming months due to an increased focus on defense spending in the incoming Trump administration and its sterling business reputation. CACI International provides cybersecurity, cyberspace and digital solutions for domestic and international clients.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="364" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/23133728/CACI-1024x364.png" alt="" class="wp-image-704752" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/23133728/CACI-1024x364.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/23133728/CACI-300x107.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/23133728/CACI-768x273.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/23133728/CACI.png 1363w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
CACI shares may have been unfairly unloaded as the price plunged down to $400 after approaching $580 in early November. The RSI reading of 27 indicates an oversold stock, and the company has good fundamentals with a 19.9 P/E ratio and a consensus Buy rating from analysts.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/aapl#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>)</h3>
Sometimes, you don't need to overthink it. Apple has been one of the biggest winners in the tech sector since Trump's election, and the company's cash pile is the envy of the business world. Despite already being one of the largest companies in the world by market cap, investors may have an opportunity here as the AI rally spins down.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="364" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/23133734/AAPL-1024x364.png" alt="" class="wp-image-704753" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/23133734/AAPL-1024x364.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/23133734/AAPL-300x107.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/23133734/AAPL-768x273.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/23133734/AAPL.png 1363w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
AAPL is a staple in any long-term investment portfolio, but the time is ripe to add more shares. The stock has been roaring upward since May 2024 and made another new all-time high as the third week of December came to a close. AAPL is now approaching a $4 trillion market cap, and its rally could continue in 2025 if the company is granted tariff exemptions similar to the ones it received during the first Trump administration.

Unpacking the Latest Options Trading Trends in Dollar Gen

Direct Digital Shares Resume Trade Then Again Halted On Circuit Breaker To The Upside, Stock Now Up 567.3%

Bitcoin's (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) volatile trading around the $100,000 mark has left investors puzzled about its prospects for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/bitcoin-price-prediction">the next weeks</a>.
What Happened: Jim Bianco of Bianco Research highlighted this phenomenon in a <a href="https://x.com/biancoresearch/status/1870948707132473412">post</a> on X on Sunday by quoting an old Wall Street adage: "Markets will do what confuses the most people." 
Bianco believes this aptly describes Bitcoin's current behaviour.
From January to March, Bitcoin's move past $69,000 spurred widespread speculation, only for it to consolidate for six months. 
After hitting $100,000, bulls and bears alike predicted dramatic movements—but Bitcoin has stayed range-bound for the past six weeks, defying both camps.
Then, post-election, BTC surged again, this time hitting $100,000. 
Once more, the internet exploded with speculation: &#8220;FOMO is next!&#8221; &#8220;It&#8217;s a bubble, watch out,&#8221; Bianco cites the sentiment.
And yet, for the past six weeks, Bitcoin has done what almost no one predicted: nothing.
Bitcoin hovering around $100,000 for months, ensuring no one is completely right or wrong, is a scenario that frustrates both bulls and bears. Analysts suggest that patience may be key as traders navigate this period of uncertainty.

What's Next: Over the past week, Bitcoin's price dropped 12.8%, pushing key performance indicators lower.
IntoTheBlock data shows Bitcoin's large transaction volume decreased by 20.6% to $34 billion, while daily active addresses dipped by 0.02%. 
Transactions greater than $100,000 also dropped from 8,435 to 7,495 in a single day. Exchange netflows declined by 246.9%.
Simply Bitcoin highlighted the significance of $2.94 billion in shorts currently acting as a barrier to Bitcoin breaking past $105,000.

Direct Digital Shares Resume Trade Then Again Halted On Circuit Breaker To The Upside, Stock Now Up 538.2%

Pfizer hosted a discussion with sell-side analysts to provide an update on one of the vaccine pipeline items &#8211; a second-generation Clostridioides difficile (C. diff) vaccine effort in Phase 2.
Goldman Sachs analyst Chris Shibutani maintained a Buy rating on Pfizer, Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PFE#NYSE">PFE</a>) with a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/PFE/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">price target of $33</a>.
Shibutani recalled that Pfizer had reported negative results from a Phase 3 study for a first-generation asset in March 2022, where the primary endpoint was unmet.

Still, results did include signals from secondary endpoints that suggested reduced disease severity.
Pfizer has since been exploring updated formulations (reducing the 3-dose regimen to 2 doses), including a version in Phase 2. Immunogenicity data are anticipated in 2025, with potential for advancement into Phase 3 by the end of 2025.
For a potential Phase 3 study, Shibutani noted the objective would be to discern the potential to reduce the severity of a C. diff infection (CDI) instead of aiming to reduce the risk and prevention of disease.
Pfizer estimates ~500k infections annually in the U.S., and no vaccine options currently available. Acknowledging that there is an unmet need The analyst acknowledged that there is an unmet need and said the data thus far suggests a potential basis for a path forward for the program in the context of comments from R&amp;D leadership during the discussion Shibutani hosted with investors.
The emphasis on the forward will be on programs with the most significant potential for economic returns. The analyst expects that investor enthusiasm will likely remain relatively subdued, especially in the context of uncertainties deriving from health policy dynamics relating to vaccines, that are an overhang to sentiment.
Shibutani does not currently include revenue estimates for a C. diff vaccine in his model and looks to monitor data updates and decisions regarding plans for this program to guide his forecasts in the future.
Separately, the analyst flagged Pfizer management&#8217;s mention of the fourth generation 25-valent pneumococcal vaccine (PCV), which management affirms continues to progress in Phase 2.
Shibutani recalled that Pfizer had previously commented that the immunogenicity data from Phase 1 were encouraging, as highlighted by the improved immunogenicity observed for serotype 3.
Pfizer is currently in a Phase 2 proof-of-concept study for its second-generation Clostridioides difficile (C. diff) vaccine, PF-07831694. This vaccine targets C. diff toxins A and B, which cause Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI).&nbsp;&nbsp;
Their goal for the second generation is to build off the 1st generation&#8217;s efficacy and duration by developing a more potent, more durable formulation, allowing for a 2-dose regiment (instead of 3-dose), resulting in higher and faster series completion.
After evaluating adjuvants in formulation for their next-generation candidates, Pfizer noted they can increase the strength or magnitude of the immune response, potentially resulting in lower doses.
Pfizer advanced 1 of the three updated 2nd-generation candidates to Phase 2 based on Phase 1/2 safety and immunogenicity data.
The Phase 2 trial endpoints will evaluate the immunogenicity and safety of the 2-dose regimen. Trial data is expected in 2025, with a potential Phase 3 start in late 2025, pending positive results.
Pfizer in Phase 2 is the furthest along of the C. diff vaccine assets. Idorsia Pharmaceuticals initiated Phase 1 for their competing C. diff asset in July. Vaxxilon and Matrivax Research &amp; Development Corporation both have preclinical assets. GSK Plc&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GSK#NYSE">GSK</a>) CDI vaccine completed a Phase 1 trial in 2022 but is no longer listed as a pipeline asset.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Pfizer&nbsp;stock has dropped over 11.5% year-to-date. Investors can gain exposure to the stock through SPDR S&amp;P 500 (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) and Vanguard S&amp;P 500 ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VOO#NYSE">VOO</a>).
Price Action: PFE stock is up 0.82% at $26.58 at the last check on Monday.
