NanoViricides Announces That It Is Forging Ahead With Its Measles Drug Development Program

AI is not just a Q/A tool, says Srinivas Narayanan, Vice President of Engineering at OpenAI, but an agent who takes action on your behalf. In an interview, Narayanan shares his beliefs about the dynamic future of autonomous AI on a global scale.
What Happened: Narayanan underlined that OpenAI is entering a new era where it evolves from a simple chatbot. "The first ChatGPT was conversational. You ask a question, you get an answer. We&#8217;re now in a phase where it&#8217;s starting to take actions on your behalf," he said in an interview <a href="https://www.moneycontrol.com/artificial-intelligence/mc-exclusive-india-can-be-a-shining-example-of-delivering-ai-at-scale-working-on-improving-capabilities-for-hindi-and-tamil-openais-srinivas-narayanan-article-13084356.html/amp?classic=true">with</a> MoneyControl.  
Narayanan also highlighted how quickly the technology has progressed in a short span of time. "Previously, it was doing seconds of work. Today, it&#8217;s doing minutes of work. Two years from now, it should do hours or days of work," he observed.
At the same time, Narayanan cautioned against the idea that AI is anywhere near complete. "I don&#8217;t want us to create a perception that somehow we have solved all the problems&#8230; There is still a lot of unforeseen research and product problems," he said.
Sophisticated design thinking is required to build trust with AI agents, he said. "What does it mean for a personal assistant that understands you deeply? What do you trust it with? How does it talk to other personal assistants? We don&#8217;t know how to solve all these, but we want to solve it one at a time, iteratively," Narayanan explained.

Why It Matters: Narayanan's bold predictions of AI come just as Jony Ive, the famed designer behind many of Apple's most popular products, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/topics/25/06/45746669/jony-ive-described-by-sam-altman-as-the-greatest-designer-in-the-world-joins-openai-in-6-5b-deal-to-build-a-totally-new-kind-of-thing">joins OpenAI in a $6.5 billion deal</a> with his startup io.
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and Ive reportedly described their vision for compact, intelligent <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/05/45640879/openais-sam-altman-says-6-5b-deal-with-jony-ive-to-build-ai-companions-could-add-1-trillion-in-company-value-report">AI &#8220;companions&#8221;</a> designed to fit smoothly into users' lives to staffers last month, with Altman claiming that the new deal could add up to $1 trillion in value to OpenAI.
Altman also shared that his and Ive's vision is based on the realization that the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45638355/headline-apples-former-design-chief-jony-ive-called-phones-and-laptops-legacy-platforms-google-ceo-sundar-pichai-said-pulling-out-a-black-glass-rectangle-wont-make-sense-forever-though-new-age-devices-havent-really-taken-off-yet" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">hardware available currently is simply not built for the kind of AI experiences they envision</a>.
As these statements, alongside Narayanan's, point to a more AI-integrated future, experts like former Google chief executive&nbsp;Eric Schmidt are warning that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45604065/former-google-boss-eric-schmidt-says-ai-will-only-exacerbate-the-blurred-lines-between-online-perception-and-reality">AI will make it harder for people to distinguish between online and offline worlds</a>.
Ive himself recently highlighted the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45738323/steve-jobs-widow-is-backing-jony-ives-mystery-ai-device-even-though-shes-still-very-close-to-apple-leadership-if-it-wasnt-for-laurene">"uneasy relationship" human beings have with technology</a> at the moment, claiming that his collaborative project with Altman is driven by the belief that "humanity deserves better." Earlier, Altman himself had called for approaching large-scale changes brought on by AI with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/05/45310167/sam-altman-says-cant-wrap-our-heads-around-the-size-of-the-ai-revolution-calls-for-humility-and-caution-to-guide-the-future">"humility" and "caution."</a>

CrowdStrike Holdings Inc. (CRWD) today experienced a Power Inflow, a significant event for those who follow where smart money goes and value order flow analytics in their trading decisions.&nbsp;
Today, at 10:09 AM on June 3rd, a significant trading signal occurred for CrowdStrike Holdings Inc., (CRWD) as it demonstrated a Power Inflow at a price of $482.05. This indicator is crucial for traders who want to know directionally where institutions and so-called "smart money" moves in the market.

The Power Inflow points to a possible uptrend in Crowdstrike&#8217;s stock, marking a potential entry point for traders looking to capitalize on the expected upward movement. Traders with this signal closely watch for sustained momentum in Crowdstrike's stock price, interpreting this event as a bullish sign.
Signal description
Order flow analytics, aka transaction or market flow analysis, separate and study both the retail and institutional volume rate of orders (flow). It involves analyzing the flow of buy and sell orders, along with size, timing, and other associated characteristics and patterns, to gain insights and make more informed trading decisions. This particular indicator is interpreted as a bullish signal by active traders.&nbsp;
The Power Inflow occurs within the first two hours of the market open and generally signals the trend that helps gauge the stock's overall direction, powered by institutional activity in the stock, for the remainder of the day.&nbsp;
By incorporating order flow analytics into their trading strategies, market participants can better interpret market conditions, identify trading opportunities, and potentially improve their trading performance. But let's not forget that while watching smart money flow can provide valuable insights, it is crucial to incorporate effective risk management strategies to protect capital and mitigate potential losses. Employing a consistent and effective risk management plan helps traders navigate the uncertainties of the market in a more controlled and calculated manner, increasing the likelihood of long-term success

In a new interview during his UK tour with Rep.&nbsp;Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez&nbsp;(D-N.Y.), Sen.&nbsp;Bernie Sanders&nbsp;(I-Vt)&nbsp;reiterated his criticism of the American political establishment, accusing it of serving the billionaire class <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/04/44957565/bernie-sanders-the-u-s-is-the-only-major-country-that-doesnt-guarantee-healthcare-to-all-people">instead of working people</a>.
What Happened: "What Trumpism is about is an understanding that the system in America is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45565917/bernie-sanders-says-its-wrong-to-add-150-billion-to-bloated-military-budget-while-young-people-will-never-afford-their-own-homes">not working for working-class people</a>," Sanders <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-interactive/2025/jun/04/saying-trump-is-dangerous-is-not-enough-bernie-sanders-on-biden-billionaires-and-why-the-democrats-failed">said</a> to the Guardian. While admitting that Trump has "hypocritically" leveraged that anger, Sanders cautioned that his so-called solutions "will <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/05/45394734/bernie-sanders-says-american-workers-are-angry-because-wages-havent-kept-up-they-are-lower-today-than-they-were-52-years-ago">only make a bad situation worse</a>."
The Democratic Party, according to him, does not address income inequality. "Their weakness is, I think, that their credibility is now quite low. And they don't have much of a message for working people, other than to say Trump is dangerous. I think that's just not enough," he said.
He shared how his advice to Kamala Harris's 2024 campaign was to focus on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/04/44757196/bernie-sanders-warns-the-job-you-have-today-aint-going-to-be-here-in-10-or-15-years-as-ai-and-robotics-threaten-us-workforce">working-class needs</a>, but it was dismissed in favor of appeasing billionaires and projecting conservatism. "They thought that was the right approach. I did not think that was the approach, and I was public about that," Sanders said.

Why It Matters: Sanders highlighted what he views as a sinister convergence of wealth and political power that undercuts democratic institutions. He criticized Project 2025 as a "movement for authoritarianism," referring to Trump's attacks on the media, judiciary, and legal tenets.
Despite his warnings, Sanders sees hope in his rallies alongside Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, which are drawing crowds even in conservative states. "Large numbers of people… do not want to see oligarchy in America, do not want to see authoritarianism," he said.
"We're going to take on the billionaire class," Sanders asserted. "They're going to start paying their <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44838380/if-you-paid-1-in-federal-income-taxes-you-paid-more-than-tesla-or-amazon-says-bernie-sanders-as-he-takes-on-billionaires-for-tax-inequities">fair share of taxes</a>."

Bernie Sanders Warns 'Saying Trump Is Dangerous Is Not Enough,' Vows To 'Take On' Billionaires, Fight For Working People And Resist Movement Towards 'Authoritarianism'

Tom Lee, co-founder and Head of Research at Fundstrat Global Advisors, predicts a substantial market rally despite widespread investor skepticism as the S&amp;P 500, tracked by SPDR S&amp;P 500 (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>), trades within 2% of all-time highs.
What Happened: Lee wrote on X that &#8220;This remains one of the &#8216;most hated&#8217; V-shaped rallies and yet we are within 2% of all-time highs.&#8221; He cited short positioning, bear sentiment, and improving macro conditions as catalysts for a possible &#8220;face-ripper rally.&#8221;
The S&amp;P 500, closed at 5,970.37 on Tuesday, up 0.58%, while the Nasdaq-100 gained 0.79% to 21,662.58. The benchmark index reached an all-time high of 6,152.87 in February.
Speaking on CNBC, Lee emphasized the disconnect between market performance and investor sentiment. &#8220;You&#8217;d think that with the S&amp;P doing well this week and a great May investors are bullish. They are not,&#8221; Lee said. &#8220;In our calls and zooms with portfolio managers many are still cautious because they see tariff risks ahead.&#8221;
Lee highlighted technical indicators supporting further upside. &#8220;Given the amount of cash on the sidelines, the fact that short interest is going up and we have a quiet week and markets are rallying, I think the risk is now of a substantial leg up rally from here,&#8221; he stated.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
Why It Matters: Regarding tariff concerns, Lee downplayed their economic impact. He estimates a 10% tariff rate would create roughly a 1% GDP effect, comparing it to oil moving from $40 to $80. &#8220;We wouldn&#8217;t say $80 oil breaks the economy anymore,&#8221; Lee noted.
The Fundstrat strategist expects the Federal Reserve to remain dovish through 2026 as housing prices decline and deliver deflationary pressure. Housing represented 75% of inflation increases since 2019, according to Lee&#8217;s analysis.
For sector positioning, Lee favors the Magnificent Seven technology stocks alongside financials, industrials, and small caps for the second half of 2025. He views the MAG 7 as &#8220;the first to peak, the first to bottom&#8221; during recent market volatility.
Lee&#8217;s bullish outlook contrasts with mounting concerns from JPMorgan Chase Inc. CEO Jamie Dimon and others about potential bond market instability amid rising federal <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst-color/25/06/45746797/is-a-bond-market-crash-coming-jamie-dimon-blackrock-ray-dalio-and-others-sound-the-alarm">deficits and elevated long-term Treasury yields</a>.

Post Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/POST#NYSE">POST</a>), on Tuesday, disclosed that it entered into a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/06/n45757641/post-holdings-to-acquire-8th-avenue-food-provisions-updates-fiscal-year-2025-outlook" rel="noreferrer noopener">definitive agreement to acquire</a> 8th Avenue Food &amp; Provisions, Inc.
Post will retire 8th Avenue&#8217;s outstanding net debt as part of the deal and purchase all equity interests, resulting in a net payment of around $880 million.
The acquisition price includes an assumption of&nbsp;$111 million in finance leases, and the balance will be paid in cash to settle outstanding debt and to purchase the remaining equity interests not already held by Post.
Also Read: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com//node/45188975" rel="noreferrer noopener">SNAP Spending Shift Could Hit General Mills, PepsiCo Hard, Warns Analyst</a>
The transaction will be financed through a mix of available cash and borrowings under Post&#8217;s existing revolving credit line.
The deal is anticipated to slightly increase Post&#8217;s leverage, with the acquisition-adjusted net leverage ratio expected to be about 4.6x at closing.
8th Avenue operates in several categories, including branded and private-label dry pasta, as well as private-label nut butters, granola, and fruit and nut products.
The acquisition brings several strategic benefits to Post, including in-house production of its Peter Pan peanut butter, entry into the dry pasta market through the Ronzoni brand, and expanded presence in the growing granola segment of ready-to-eat cereals.
The transaction is expected to close on July 1, 2025, during Post&#8217;s fiscal fourth quarter, pending customary closing conditions.
Following the acquisition, 8th Avenue&#8217;s financial performance will be included under the Post&#8217;s Consumer Brands segment.

Post Holdings Acquires 8th Avenue For $880 Million, Boosts Outlook

Second Quarter 2025 Outlook
Given trends to date and our expectations for the balance of the quarter, we believe second quarter comparable net sales growth will be towards the higher end of our full-year outlook range of 3% to 5%.
Over the balance of fiscal 2025, the company expects to mitigate the earnings impact of the cost pressures it faces, including higher tariffs. In the near-term, it does expect to see some earnings volatility based on the timing of the various inputs and outputs to the company's financial results. As such, we expect second quarter adjusted EPS from continuing operations could be down as much as 45 to 50 percent year-over-year before re-accelerating in the third and fourth quarters to meet our full-year earnings outlook.

Xylo Technologies Announces That On May 29, 2025, Following Shareholder Approval, L.I.A Pure Capital Ltd. Filed A Request To The District Court Of Tel Aviv, Requesting That The Court Approve The Arrangement Between The Company And Its Shareholders

Our full-year fiscal 2025 outlook is presented on a continuing operations basis, reflecting the operations of our Dollar Tree segment, which includes corporate, support, and other. A quarterly and full-year reclassification of our 2024 results into continuing, discontinued, and consolidated operations was included as supplemental schedules in the company's fourth quarter fiscal 2024 earnings press release, published on March 26, 2025.
Additionally, our outlook assumes that the level of tariffs in place today, June 4, 2025, remains in effect for the balance of the fiscal year. It further assumes that we will be able mitigate most of the incremental margin pressure from higher tariffs and other input costs.
The Company continues to expect its full-year fiscal 2025 net sales from continuing operations to be in the range of $18.5 billion to $19.1 billion, based on comparable store net sales growth in the range of 3% to 5%.
The company is updating its prior adjusted diluted EPS from continuing operations outlook range to $5.15 to $5.65 to reflect the effect of our year-to-date share repurchases. Additional share repurchases are not included in the updated outlook.
Our outlook for adjusted diluted EPS from continuing operations includes SG&amp;A costs associated with shared services that are provided to the Family Dollar business. These costs will be incurred for the entirety of fiscal year 2025. Under a Transition Services Agreement (TSA) that would begin with the anticipated closing of the sale in the second quarter of fiscal 2025, the Family Dollar buyer will reimburse the Company for the cost of providing these services. Because Dollar Tree will bear the full year of the costs to support Family Dollar but only expects to receive offsetting reimbursement income in the second half of the year, the Company's full-year earnings will be negatively impacted by approximately $0.30 to $0.35, with that impact concentrated in the first two quarters of the fiscal year.

Dollar Tree Raises FY2025 Adj EPS Guidance from $5.00-$5.50 to $5.15-$5.65 vs $5.21 Est; Affirms FY2025 Sales Guidance of $18.50B-$19.10B vs $18.95B Est
