Autodesk Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ADSK#NASDAQ">ADSK</a>) shares are trading higher Monday after the company officially announced it will no longer pursue the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/07/46350878/autodesk-adsk-shares-slide-amid-reports-of-potential-ptc-acquisition"> acquisition of PTC Inc</a>.
What To Know: The move comes after weeks of speculation following reports that Autodesk was considering a major cash-and-stock deal for the industrial software firm. Investors reacted positively to the decision, reversing some of the pressure that had weighed on Autodesk stock since the initial reports surfaced.
Shares of Autodesk had fallen over 10% since July 8, the day before <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-07-14/autodesk-is-said-to-drop-pursuit-of-software-firm-ptc?srnd=technology-ai&amp;embedded-checkout=true">Bloomberg </a>reported that the company was exploring a potential acquisition of PTC. The proposed deal would have ranked among the largest in the software sector this year, potentially reshaping Autodesk&#8217;s strategic direction. On Friday, Autodesk shares closed at $280.39, giving the company a market value of around $60 billion. PTC's market capitalization stands at roughly $23.2 billion.
In a regulatory filing on Monday, Autodesk confirmed that it would remain focused on its existing strategic priorities. These include investing in its core business, pursuing smaller targeted acquisitions, and continuing its share repurchase program. The company made no mention of PTC or any other acquisition targets in the filing, signaling that it intends to stick with its organic growth plans rather than pursuing large-scale deals.
PTC, founded in the 1980s, specializes in software that supports manufacturers in designing complex products such as aircraft, electronics, and medical devices. A deal between Autodesk and PTC would have marked a significant consolidation in the industrial software space, a sector expected to grow with the rising adoption of artificial intelligence. However, Autodesk's decision to walk away suggests that the company is opting to prioritize financial discipline and shareholder returns over high-risk acquisitions.
ADSK Price Action: Autodesk shares were up 5.50% at $295.82 at the time of writing, according to<a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?new_user=False&amp;backend=google-oauth2"> Benzinga Pro.</a>

Red Cat Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RCAT#NASDAQ">RCAT</a>) shares are trading higher Monday on possible continued momentum after Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth announced efforts to fast <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/node/46372724">track drone production.</a>
What To Know: On Thursday, Hegseth issued a directive allowing military commanders at the rank of colonel or Navy captain and above to independently purchase and test small drones—specifically Group 1 and 2 unmanned aircraft systems.
Furthermore, the order reclassifies these drones as "consumable weapons," removing them from traditional aircraft tracking systems and accelerating the deployment of emerging tech, including 3D-printed and off-the-shelf models.
The directive also rolls back several outdated Pentagon policies that Hegseth said were stalling innovation. It requires all military branches to conduct drone combat simulations and coordinate with the FAA to expand flight ranges, fast-track spectrum approvals and create new testing zones for swarm tactics, live-fire drills and joint-force exercises.

Strategy (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>) on Monday announced it has added another 4,225 Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) to its already dominant crypto treasury, spending approximately $472.5 million at an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/cryptocurrency/25/07/46397477/bitcoins-123k-boom-meets-crypto-week-blastoff-moment-for-microstrategy-marathon-digital">average price of $111,827 per coin</a>.
The purchase was disclosed Monday morning in a Form 8-K <a href="https://assets.contentstack.io/v3/assets/bltf8d808d9b8cebd37/blt4cc1a0ae496ac9e3/68747439e8921d53d6fa6b41/form-8-k_07-14-2025.pdf">filing</a> with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
The acquisition pushes Strategy's total holdings to 601,550 BTC, acquired for roughly $42.87 billion at an average price of $71,268 per Bitcoin. 
The announcement comes amid Bitcoin's recent surge past $122,000, underscoring Strategy's aggressive buy-the-dip approach that now spans across more than three years and multiple bull-bear cycles.
What makes this purchase noteworthy isn't just the size, but the source of the funds: Strategy financed the latest acquisition using proceeds from four concurrent at-the-market (ATM) equity offerings, including its common stock and three series of preferred shares (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STRK#NASDAQ">STRK</a>), (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STRF#NASDAQ">STRF</a>) and (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STRD#NASDAQ">STRD</a>).

Over the same week, the company raised more than $472 million through those offerings, converting equity capital directly into Bitcoin with little delay.
The company's strategy, blending traditional capital markets with direct Bitcoin accumulation, continues to test conventional corporate treasury management. 
While the firm has become a proxy for institutional Bitcoin exposure on Wall Street, its risk posture remains polarizing. 
Critics warn of overexposure and limited liquidity, while supporters view the firm as an early archetype for how public companies can integrate digital assets into their balance sheets at scale.
Strategy's public dashboard indicates the company has now purchased more than 13,000 BTC in July alone, suggesting that the current accumulation cycle is far from over, even as Bitcoin trades at all-time highs.

As silver prices reach levels not seen in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/market-summary/25/07/46374536/wall-street-today-trump-eu-tariffs-gold-rallies-silver-bitcoin" target="_blank" rel="noopener">almost 14 years</a>, investors are not only stocking up on bars, but they&#8217;re also loading up on silver ETFs at a record pace. And the game is no longer about price momentum. Structural changes in demand, constricting physical supply, and gold&#8217;s rapidly unaffordable glamour are pointing capital toward <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">ETFs linked to silver</a>, the &#8220;poor man&#8217;s gold&#8221; that&#8217;s now enjoying a rich run.
Silver ETFs added more than 2,570 tons of the metal since February, Bloomberg data shows, and they are playing a central role in the most recent supply squeeze. The effect has been so sharp that it&#8217;s now tightening the physical silver market in London, the main vaulting center for ETF holdings, and driving borrowing rates for the metal to more than 6%, an astonishing spike from their typical near-zero level.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">ETF Buyers At The Forefront</h2>
While <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/silver">physical silver markets </a>are constrained, silver ETFs are the investment of choice for both retail and institutional investors seeking to enjoy the rally. Let&#8217;s see how the top players compare:
iShares Silver Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SLV#NYSE">SLV</a>)
The heavy hitter in the silver ETF space, SLV, holds over 474 million ounces of silver and manages nearly $18 billion in assets under management (AUM). It follows the price of silver by maintaining physical bullion in vaults, providing a low-friction means to get exposure without the hassles of storage.
Why it matters: The largest and most liquid silver ETF, SLV, frequently serves as a barometer of investor sentiment towards the metal. The fund is up almost 30% this year so far.
Aberdeen Standard Physical Silver Shares ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SIVR#NYSE">SIVR</a>)
SIVR follows essentially the same approach as SLV, owning fully allocated physical silver, but draws more budget-price-conscious investors. At an expense ratio of 0.30%, versus SLV&#8217;s 0.50%, it has slowly gained a niche.
Why it&#8217;s important: Lower costs become more appealing in a high-inflation world where even slight differences in interest rates matter. Like SLV, the fund is up 30% so far this year.
Global X Silver Miners ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SIL#NYSE">SIL</a>)
Those who want silver exposure but prefer the equity approach can achieve it via SIL, which offers access to a portfolio of international silver mining firms, including Fresnillo (OTCPK: FNLPF), Pan American Silver (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PAAS#NYSE">PAAS</a>), and Hecla Mining (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HL#NYSE">HL</a>).
Why it matters: Although mining stocks provide leverage to silver prices, they also carry company-specific and geopolitical risks. SIL is rising sharply this year as silver miners benefit from the bull run. The fund is up a good 53.5% this year.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What&#8217;s Driving The Demand?</h2>
A variety of forces are driving investor demand:
Relative value: Silver remains trading below its historic ratio to gold. At an 86 gold-to-silver ratio, silver could be undervalued, given that the number averages nearer to 80 over the past decade.
Trade tensions: The most recent round of threats of tariffs between the U.S. and Mexico, the globe&#8217;s leading silver producer, raised concerns about potential supply interruptions.
Industrial demand: Silver is an essential input for solar panels and electronics, making it have a special dual identity, both a precious metal and an industrial commodity.
Supply deficit: The Silver Institute estimates a fifth straight year of market deficit in 2025, as cited by Bloomberg, further solidifying the long-term investment thesis.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Bigger Picture For ETF Flows</h2>
This year&#8217;s rally has transformed silver ETFs from quiet portfolio diversifiers into high-conviction trades. While gold ETFs have mostly recorded flat to negative inflows due to high prices and risk-off central bank sentiment, silver ETFs are attracting new money, courtesy of their lower entry price and more compelling upside story.
If silver continues to outpace gold, as it has to date in 2025, the pace of ETF flows will gain even more momentum, particularly for retail investors seeking exposure without exceeding their budgets.
Silver does not have the bling of gold, perhaps, but in the world of ETFs, it&#8217;s stealing the spotlight right now. Tightening physical supply and increasing investor appetite have turned silver ETFs from supporting actors to protagonists in the commodity resurrection.

Crinetics Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRNX#NASDAQ">CRNX</a>) on Sunday announced new data from its clinical development program evaluating once-daily, oral investigational palsonify (paltusotine) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/health-care" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">in acromegaly</a>.
Acromegaly&nbsp;is a rare condition in adults that causes some bones, organs and other tissues to grow bigger.
The data will be presented at the Endocrine Society&#8217;s Annual Meeting, ENDO 2025.
Also Read: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44502320/jp-morgan-survey-90-of-endocrinologists-aware-of-crinetics-atumelnant-data" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">JP Morgan Survey: 90% Of Endocrinologists Are Aware Of Crinetics&#8217; Atumelnant Data</a>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">PATHFNDR-1 Open-Label Extension (OLE) Study</h2>
The PATHFNDR-1 Phase 3 trial enrolled adults with acromegaly who were biochemically controlled on monthly injectable <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/07/g46383977/crinetics-to-present-new-long-term-data-demonstrating-durable-control-of-once-daily-oral-palsonify" rel="noreferrer noopener">somatostatin receptor ligands (SRLs)</a>.
Following a 36-week randomized, placebo-controlled period, 53 of 58 participants (91%) entered the ongoing single-arm open-label extension. An interim analysis includes data through week 96 of total study participation (60 weeks in the OLE).
In patients who transitioned from injected SRLs to once-daily oral palsonify, mean insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) levels remained stable with IGF-1 (mean ± SE) of 0.93 ± 0.22 at OLE baseline and 0.81 ± 0.21 times the upper limit of normal (ULN) at week 96, demonstrating durable biochemical control over this period.
Growth hormone (GH) levels were also stable, with mean values of 1.0 ± 1.0 ng/mL at baseline and 1.1 ± 1.2 ng/mL at week 96.
Symptom control also remained stable at week 96.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">PATHFNDR-2 OLE Study</h2>
The interim analysis includes efficacy data from 88 patients through week 84 (corresponding to 60 weeks in the OLE), with safety data reported for all 114 enrolled.
Patients who had received a placebo during the RC phase experienced sustained reductions in IGF-1, with a mean change from baseline of –0.81 × ULN at week 84 (n=39).
Direct-to-OLE participants (n=9) showed similar reductions (–0.75 × ULN), while those who had been treated with palsonify during the RC phase (n=40) maintained control (mean change –0.01 × ULN).
Growth hormone, symptom scores, and pituitary tumor size were durably controlled over the study period.
In both trials, palsonify was well-tolerated.
A pooled analysis of symptom scores from PATHFNDR-1 and PATHFNDR-2 showed that greater proportions of patients treated with palsonify experienced less acromegaly symptom burden compared to placebo, regardless of the magnitude of the symptom effect, treatment history or state of biochemical disease control.
In an analysis of PATHFNDR-1 data, biochemically controlled patients switching from injected SRLs to palsonify saw a significant drop in day-to-day symptom exacerbations, from over 30% of days on SRLs to just 6.2% during stable palsonify dosing.
CRNX Price Action: Crinetics Pharmaceuticals stock is up 3.07% at $32.91 at publication on Monday.

Amylyx Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMLX#NASDAQ">AMLX</a>) on Sunday presented new exploratory analyses from its Phase 2 PREVENT and Phase 2b trials of avexitide—an investigational GLP-1 receptor antagonist—at the Endocrine Society's annual meeting (ENDO 2025). 
The drug targets post-bariatric hypoglycemia (PBH), a condition marked by dangerously low blood sugar following weight-loss surgery.
In the Phase 2b trial, a 90 mg once-daily dose of avexitide—now being evaluated in the Phase 3 LUCIDITY trial—achieved a 64% reduction in the rate of moderate to severe hypoglycemic events. More than half of participants experienced no such events during treatment.
Also Read: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/initiation/25/06/46081532/amylyx-eyes-2b-opportunity-in-post-surgery-sugar-crash-market" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Amylyx Eyes $2B Opportunity In Post-Surgery Sugar Crash Market</a>
LUCIDITY, a Phase 3, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, is evaluating the safety and efficacy of avexitide in approximately 75 patients with PBH following Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery. The FDA-designated primary endpoint is a reduction in Level 2 and 3 hypoglycemic events.
Previous trials, including Phase 2 PREVENT and Phase 2b, showed consistent, dose-dependent reductions in these events across multiple dosing regimens. Notably, the 90 mg once-daily dose demonstrated sustained 24-hour GLP-1 receptor inhibition, supported by pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic data presented at ENDO 2025. In vitro studies confirmed potent target engagement, with avexitide plasma levels exceeding the IC₅₀ threshold throughout the dosing window.
Across five clinical trials, avexitide has shown statistically and clinically meaningful efficacy with a favorable safety profile. LUCIDITY is expected to complete enrollment in 2025, with top-line results anticipated in the first half of 2026 and a potential commercial launch in 2027.
Price Action: AMLX stock is up 7.55% at $8.26 at the last check on Monday.

Trader Notes: Bluntz Capital <a href="https://x.com/Bluntz_Capital/status/1944731100787417261">said</a> PENGU is showing leadership in the meme coin sector, currently riding anuptrend on the daily chart. 
The token is approaching a retest of its previous all-time highs, and a breakout could occur soon. 
With strong mainstream (&#8220;normie&#8221;) appeal and having launched during a meme bear market, it has yet to experience true price discovery.
Crypto chart analyst Ali Marinez <a href="https://x.com/ali_charts/status/1944539085378330924">drew</a> parallels between PENGU and PEPE but emphasized a key differentiator: PENGU has real-world traction. 
Backed by a brand with over $13 million in toy sales at Walmart and Target, Pudgy Penguins boasts strong IP, a growing ecosystem, and royalty-sharing for NFT holders.
With a spot ETF now filed, PENGU looks fundamentally strong and still early in its growth cycle.
Degengambleeh <a href="https://x.com/degengambleh/status/1944698902709465542">added</a> that PENGU's reclaim of key resistance levels isn't just a bullish sign for holders, but a signal for the broader crypto space. 
With clear skies until $0.05, PENGU could represent the next phase of meme-driven adoption powered by narrative, culture, and utility.
Statistics: Pudgy Penguins NFT <a href="https://nftpricefloor.com/pudgy-penguins">reported</a> an expansion of 15.5% in its volume and 3.1% growth in sales. The average sale grew 12%. The price of Pudgy Penguin NFTs spiked from 9 ETH to 11.58 ETH in a week.
The price spike coincided with Coinbase <a href="https://x.com/coinbase/status/1943715559209590821?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">changing</a> its X profile picture to a Pudgy Penguin NFT, posting "new pfp, who dis." Other firms including VanEck, MoonPay, and AwakenTax followed suit, reinforcing community strength and meme power.
Community News: The SEC has acknowledged Canary Capital's filing for the Canary PENGU ETF. 
On July 9, the Cboe BZX Exchange submitted a proposal to list and trade shares of the fund, bringing PENGU one step closer to becoming the first meme coin ETF built around an NFT-native brand.

As the tech industry increasingly pivots towards artificial intelligence, Salesforce (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRM#NYSE">CRM</a>) is positioning itself at the forefront of this shift with its AI-powered Service Cloud. This strategic move not only highlights the growing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/artificial-intelligence">importance of AI</a> in driving business growth but also reshapes investor perceptions of Salesforce&#8217;s long-term potential.
Bank of America Securities analyst Brad Sills <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/CRM/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">maintained a Buy</a> rating on Salesforce with a price target of $350 on Monday.
Salesforce is betting big on its largest business unit, Service Cloud, which analysts expect will generate $9.7 billion in fiscal 2026 revenue, making up 25% of total subscription revenue, Sills noted. In the first quarter of fiscal 2026, growth slowed slightly to 7%.

Still, after adjusting for leap year effects and rounding, the analyst noted that the normalized rate stands closer to 8.5%, indicating only a modest deceleration.
He noted the slowdown has bottomed out and projects acceleration to 9% in the coming quarters, trending toward 12% in the long run.
Sills noted that Service Cloud's growth potential stands out across the industry, with projected incremental gains of 21%, significantly ahead of the next closest competitor at 7%. The analyst attributed this outperformance to Service Cloud's user-friendly interface, deep customization, seamless integration across sales and service, and, most notably, Agentforce, Salesforce's AI-powered service agent suite.
He said that add-ons such as Service Cloud Voice, Field Service, Customer Experience Intelligence, and Digital Engagement represent durable upsell opportunities that support this bullish outlook.
Sills noted that Salesforce's Agentforce AI suite is becoming a central growth lever. In recent partner conversations, the analyst stated that use cases such as case management, meeting preparation, shipment tracking, and analytics were repeatedly cited. 
He expects Agentforce for Service Cloud to contribute $1.7 billion in revenue over the next five years, helping the platform achieve a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9%, or 12% in an upside scenario. Sills noted that over 8,000 customers have already signed up for AI agents, with more than half of them converting to paying accounts.
The analyst noted that the Service Cloud platform provides agents with powerful tools, including AI-driven case routing, knowledge base searches, and self-service customer portals, making it a key enabler of customer satisfaction and lifetime value.
Salesforce offers pricing tiers ranging from the $25/month Starter Suite to the $550/month Agentforce 1 edition, which bundles AI credits and Data Cloud capacity for enterprise-scale deployments. According to the analyst, this flexible pricing model facilitates broad adoption across businesses of all sizes.
Crucially, Salesforce's go-to-market strategy integrates Agentforce into its existing customer base—60% of which already uses Sales or Service Cloud—allowing for easy cross-sell and bundled offerings, Sills noted. He said that by publicizing case studies from OpenTable, PepsiCo, and other enterprise users, Salesforce aims to demonstrate real-world benefits and drive deeper adoption of Agentforce.
The analyst noted that Salesforce is well-positioned to reaccelerate top-line growth with its AI-first vision, full-stack capabilities, and established customer base. He added that Service Cloud's continued evolution, primarily through Agentforce, may very well be the company's ticket to sustained leadership in enterprise software through the end of the decade.
Sills projected fiscal 2026 sales of $41.2 billion and EPS of $11.28.
