Goldman Sachs Maintains Sell on Nutrien, Raises Price Target to $59

On Thursday, U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Commissioner Martin A. Makary announced an aggressive timeline to scale the use of <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/artificial-intelligence" rel="noreferrer noopener">artificial intelligence (AI)</a> internally across all FDA centers by June 30, following the completion of a new generative AI pilot for scientific reviewers.
Makary has <a target="_blank" href="https://www.fda.gov/news-events/press-announcements/fda-announces-completion-first-ai-assisted-scientific-review-pilot-and-aggressive-agency-wide-ai" rel="noreferrer noopener">directed</a> all FDA centers to begin deployment immediately, with the goal of full integration by the end of June. Work will continue to expand use cases, improve functionality, and adapt to the evolving needs of each center after June 30.
By that date, all centers will be operating on a common, secure generative AI system integrated with the FDA&#8217;s internal data platforms.

Makary spoke about the need to shorten the length of the drug approval process and the use of artificial intelligence, among other topics, during the AHA Annual Membership Meeting on Tuesday.
&#8220;We at the FDA now have to ask big questions that we&#8217;ve never asked before,&#8221; Makary <a target="_blank" href="https://www.aha.org/news/headline/2025-05-06-fda-commissioner-talks-shortening-drug-approval-process-benefits-ai" rel="noreferrer noopener">said</a>. &#8220;Why does it take over 10 years for a new drug to come to market? Why are we not modernized with AI and other things?&#8221;
Makary was also optimistic about AI helping to approve new treatments for conditions such as diabetes and certain types of cancer.
According to a media report on Wednesday, OpenAI, which is backed by Microsoft Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>), met with FDA officials to discuss the agency&#8217;s use of AI to speed up drug evaluations.
Makary didn&#8217;t say OpenAI was involved in the project, but sources familiar with it say a small team from OpenAI has met several times in recent weeks with the FDA and two associates from Elon Musk&#8217;s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
They&#8217;ve been discussing a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.wired.com/story/openai-fda-doge-ai-drug-evaluation/" rel="noreferrer noopener">project</a> called &#8220;cderGPT,&#8221; likely referring to the FDA&#8217;s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER), which regulates over-the-counter and prescription drugs in the U.S., and &#8220;Research GPT.&#8221; Jeremy Walsh, the FDA&#8217;s newly appointed AI officer, has led the talks. No contract has been finalized yet.
According to the May 2024 McKinsey Global Institute report, AI technology could generate&nbsp;$60 billion—$110 billion annually in economic value for the pharmaceutical industry, as it can help speed up the process of identifying compounds, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/05/38768537/from-hype-to-reality-ai-reshapes-pharmaceutical-industry-across-drug-discovery-to-marketing-stock" rel="noreferrer noopener">their development, and approval</a>.

In March, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) unveiled a sweeping restructuring plan to cut costs, streamline <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/health-care" rel="noreferrer noopener">operations, and refocus priorities</a>.
Congress has long considered HHS vital to national well-being, appropriating $2.5 trillion for Fiscal Year 2024 to support its broad mandate across medicine, public health and social services.
The changes, aligned with President Donald Trump's executive order on government efficiency, will reduce the agency&#8217;s workforce, consolidate divisions and emphasize efforts to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/03/44519638/us-department-of-health-and-human-services-aligns-with-trumps-executive-order-to-cut-10k-jobs-save-18-billion" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">combat chronic illness</a>.
The&nbsp;restructuring&nbsp;will reduce the HHS workforce by 10,000 full-time employees, leading to annual savings of $1.8 billion.
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Through early retirements and other initiatives, the total number of employees will shrink from 82,000 to 62,000.</li>
</ul>
Multiple states have <a target="_blank" href="https://www.njoag.gov/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/2025-0505_State-of-New-York-v.-Kennedy-Jr.pdf" rel="noreferrer noopener">filed</a> legal challenges to Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.&#8217;s reorganization, arguing that the moves violate constitutional mandates and congressional intent.

The states claim the administration's efforts have dismantled the agency in defiance of established laws, severely disrupting health programs critical to Americans nationwide.
In a lawsuit filed on Monday, the states said the sudden layoffs brought HHS operations to a near standstill.
Laboratories stopped testing for infectious diseases, FDA vaccine reviews were missed and vital programs such as Head Start and the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program were left unsupported.
The World Trade Center Health Program could no longer certify illnesses and maternal health initiatives were shut down. Meanwhile, grantees and state partners were left without contacts or guidance as key portals and support channels went dark.
Although the terminations affected many employees, the cuts disproportionately targeted specific agencies, including the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), the Administration for Children and Families (ACF), and the Administration for Community Living (ACL).
20,000 positions—almost a quarter of the HHS workforce—are slated for elimination. Despite the scale, Kennedy reportedly acknowledged that up to 20% of the layoffs were known to be mistakes even before execution.
Kennedy admitted that the decision to forgo a detailed review was driven by a desire to preserve "political momentum."
Importantly, the downsizing was not necessitated by budget constraints—congressional funding has remained stable or increased.
States argue the move was a deliberate effort to sideline the department's role, defying the very laws and mandates that created and funded it. The chaotic restructuring has left the remaining staff unable to process grants, issue funds, review policies, or manage public health emergencies.
In response, Plaintiff States are pursuing declaratory and injunctive relief to halt what they describe as the unlawful dismantling of one of the federal government's most complex and essential departments.

Telsey Advisory Group analyst Dana Telsey reiterated the Outperform rating on Birkenstock Holding (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BIRK#NYSE">BIRK</a>) <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/BIRK/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">with a price forecast of $70</a>.
The company is set to report its second-quarter results on May 15, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/04/ac44808411/birkenstock-announces-fiscal-second-quarter-2025-ended-march-31-2025-results-date-and-conference-" rel="noreferrer noopener">before the market opens.</a>
Telsey projects total revenue to grow 17.7% year-over-year to 566.4 million euros, slightly trailing the consensus estimate of 568.2 million euros.
The analyst sees a 30-basis-point expansion in gross margin to 56.6%, narrowly topping the consensus forecast of 56.5%, which implies a 20-basis-point improvement.
Also Read: <a target="_blank" href="http://benzinga.com/25/03/44360179/birkenstock-eyes-rapid-growth-targeting-us-and-global-retail-markets-says-analyst" rel="noreferrer noopener">Birkenstock's US Expansion Has Significant Upside With Fewer Than 10 Stores Today, Analyst Says</a>
Additionally, Telsey analyst pointed out that Birkenstock holds a relative advantage in terms of tariff exposure, as the company manufactures in Germany and only derives 52% of its fiscal 2024 revenue from the Americas, limiting its vulnerability compared to peers in the footwear industry.
The analyst also anticipates that operating expenses will remain flat year-over-year at 27.6%, which is slightly below the consensus figure of 27.7%, reflecting a minor 10-basis-point deleverage.
In aggregate, Telsey forecasts a 180-basis-point improvement in pretax profit margin to 24.8%, which comes in just under the Street's expectation of a 230-basis-point rise to 25.3%.
For the fiscal second quarter, Telsey maintains an adjusted EBITDA estimate of 193.3 million euros, up from 162.3 million euros in the prior-year quarter and closely aligned with the consensus view of €192.9 million.
This projection corresponds to an adjusted EBITDA margin of 34.1%.
Telsey noted that the brand is maintaining strong demand across multiple regions and distribution channels, continuing to execute well despite ongoing global macroeconomic challenges.
The analyst also highlighted the firm's successful efforts in expanding its closed-toe shoe segment across different markets while also driving average selling price growth.
As consumers become more selective with their spending, Telsey sees Birkenstock as a brand well-positioned to thrive due to its premium lifestyle appeal and distinct focus on comfort, a value proposition that's difficult for competitors to replicate.
Price Action: BIRK shares are trading lower by 0.36% to $52.28 at the last check on Friday.

Within the domain of banking and financial systems, analysts specialize in reporting for specific stocks or defined sectors. Their work involves attending company conference calls and meetings, researching company financial statements, and communicating with insiders to publish "analyst ratings" for stocks.
