Alloy Therapeutics Inc. ("Alloy"), a biotechnology ecosystem company dedicated to democratizing access to cutting edge drug discovery technologies, announced today a strategic collaboration and license agreement with Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TAK#NYSE">TAK</a>) to develop Takeda's proprietary induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) derived CAR-T cell platform (iCAR-T) and iPSC-derived CAR-NK platform (iCAR-NK). Alloy will focus on accelerating the development of key therapies to overcome solid and hematological malignancies.
iCAR-T technology was developed as part of the T-CiRA joint research program between Takeda and the Center for iPS Research and Application (CiRA) at Kyoto University. The core technology to differentiate iPSC into immune cells originates from CiRA's Shin Kaneko's laboratory. iCAR-T has potential to develop ‘off-the-shelf' cell therapies, offering the potential for best-in-class performance with enhanced potency, and significantly lower manufacturing costs compared to autologous cell therapy.

In the current market session, Palantir Technologies Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NYSE">PLTR</a>) stock price is at $60.91, after a 3.29% drop. However, over the past month, the company's stock increased by 42.41%, and in the past year, by 215.90%. Shareholders might be interested in knowing whether the stock is overvalued, even if the company is not performing up to par in the current session.

<h3>Palantir Technologies P/E Compared to Competitors</h3>
The P/E ratio is used by long-term shareholders to assess the company's market performance against aggregate market data, historical earnings, and the industry at large. A lower P/E could indicate that shareholders do not expect the stock to perform better in the future or it could mean that the company is undervalued. 
Palantir Technologies has a better P/E ratio of 314.9 than the aggregate P/E ratio of 74.07 of the Software industry. Ideally, one might believe that Palantir Technologies Inc. might perform better in the future than it's industry group, but it's probable that the stock is overvalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1732120212_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In conclusion, the price-to-earnings ratio is a useful metric for analyzing a company's market performance, but it has its limitations. While a lower P/E can indicate that a company is undervalued, it can also suggest that shareholders do not expect future growth. Additionally, the P/E ratio should not be used in isolation, as other factors such as industry trends and business cycles can also impact a company's stock price. Therefore, investors should use the P/E ratio in conjunction with other financial metrics and qualitative analysis to make informed investment decisions.

&#8220;We&#8217;re thrilled that so many of you have embarked on this journey with us, and we appreciate your feedback,&#8221; Microsoft Corp.&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) Bethesda<a href="https://bethesda.net/en/game/starfield/article/mqjRpu4DgOPKOdHE20SC1/starfields-november-update-is-now-live"> said</a> in a statement on its website.
To mark the milestone, Bethesda released Update 1.14.74, which includes gameplay adjustments, bug fixes, and new content. The update introduces the Deimog, a land vehicle described as "built for speed and endurance," with features like a fully enclosed cabin and a rocket launcher for defense.
A new quest, The Perfect Recipe, was also added. The story takes players to Akila City, where they assist Harbhajan, a mechanic with a hidden passion for cooking, by returning a lost recipe book that could help him pursue his dream of becoming a renowned chef.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">New Features For Gamers</h3>
Update 1.14.74 also brought significant quality-of-life improvements and changes:
<ul>
<li>Uncapped Frame Rate: Xbox Series X players can now enable this option for smoother gameplay.</li>
<li>Achievement Compatibility: Creations by Verified Creators are now achievement-friendly, though achievements won't retroactively unlock on prior saves.</li>
<li>Enhanced Creation Kit: Lipsync animation data generation is now available, making modding easier for creators.</li>
</ul>
Bethesda has also addressed several gameplay and quest bugs, ensuring smoother experiences for players navigating its vast universe.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Mixed Reception For Shattered Space</h3>
While the updates are widely welcomed, Bethesda's first Starfield expansion, Shattered Space, has faced criticism. 
Despite being billed as a return to form, the expansion currently holds a &#8220;mostly negative&#8221; rating on Steam, with some players expressing disappointment in its execution. 
According to Xbox head Phil Spencer, Bethesda's Todd Howard had even questioned whether to delay the expansion for a more impactful launch.

Village Farms International, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VFF#NASDAQ">VFF</a>) and Hemp for Victory filed a joint motion seeking to disqualify the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) from defending the proposed rescheduling of marijuana from Schedule I to Schedule III under the Controlled Substances Act.
The parties argue that the DEA is compromised and opposes the rescheduling, suggesting its role should be taken by the Department of Justice (DOJ) to ensure an impartial process.
"It is our belief that the DEA cannot lawfully act as the proponent of the Proposed Rule and that its actions throughout the administrative process demonstrate that it opposes the proposed transfer of marijuana to Schedule III and is therefore compromised," Shane Pennington, partner at Porter Wright Morris &amp; Arthur, LLP and counsel to Village Farms and Hemp for Victory commented, "Treating the DEA as the proponent of the Proposed Rule would violate APA and DEA regulations and render these proceedings a sham. Lawyers from the Department of Justice, not the Drug Enforcement Administration, must therefore defend this rule."
In August 2023, Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Xavier Becerra confirmed his agency responded to President Biden&#8217;s directive to provide scheduling recommendations for cannabis to the DEA. HHS <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/23/08/34126690/hhs-secretary-confirms-it-is-recommending-cannabis-be-rescheduled-per-bidens-directive">called for marijuana to be reclassified as a Schedule III drug</a> under the Controlled Substances Act.
The <a href="https://villagefarms.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Hemp-for-Victory-and-Village-Farms-Motion-to-Disqualify-and-Supplement-Record-with-Exhibits-A-C.pdf">motion</a> argues that "Not once in its history as an agency had DEA ever rejected an HHS scheduling recommendation. This time, however, DEA did not just disagree with HHS's views, it opposed them so vehemently that the Attorney General had to refer the interagency dispute to the Office of Legal Counsel for resolution."

If you're serious about the business, you can't afford to miss out.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Calling For Transparency</h2>
The motion also asks that the record include all requests for hearing and/or participation in these proceedings filed with the DEA; a record of the decisions made by the Administrator regarding why certain parties were designated as participants and others were not; and any ex parte communications between DEA and third parties.
"Without knowing who DEA excluded and why, there is no way to assess whether and to what extent the Agency's decisions are arbitrary and capricious, the subject of bias, or otherwise unlawful," reads the filing. "If, for example, DEA included parties with expertise on a particular topic but only if they opposed the Proposed Rule while also excluding parties with even more expertise on that same topic if they supported the Proposed Rule, then there would be a powerful case to be made that the Agency's decisions were arbitrary and capricious."
Among 25 participants that DEA chose to join the hearing on rescheduling cannabis is Smart Approaches To Marijuana (SAM), an organization opposed to marijuana legalization and commercialization. On the other hand, Village Farms is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/11/41726679/village-farms-is-only-cannabis-operator-selected-to-represent-weed-industry-at-dea-rescheduling-">the only cannabis operator selected to represent cannabis industry</a>.
Village Farms and Hemp for Victory also require that SAM and the DEA be ordered to preserve their records, as factual evidence demonstrates unlawful conduct which has further compromised the DEA's participation in the proceedings.
Michael DeGiglio, retired Navy captain and naval aviator and president and chief executive officer of Village Farms concluded, "Our organization embraces the power of the cannabis plant as an alternative to Big Pharma and harmful, addicting drugs like opioids. However, we continue to face burdensome challenges in several of our regulatory jurisdictions that not only restrict us from advancing access to cannabis for millions of people, but have also created near-insurmountable institutional barriers to clinical research involving cannabis. We are proud to be one of the pro-cannabis participants selected to testify as a witness in the upcoming Rescheduling Hearing, but the filing of this joint motion reflects our desire for a more transparent process that ensures all credible voices are heard, including other applicants whose expertise has been overlooked or ignored."
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">DEA Under Attack</h2>
The motion follows a lawsuit by a Washington-based researcher filing a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/legal/24/11/41923948/dea-faces-lawsuit-alleging-bias-in-marijuana-rescheduling-process">lawsuit against the DEA alleging multiple legal violations</a> in the agency&#8217;s process of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/cannabis-rescheduling" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">rescheduling marijuana</a>. David Heldreth, CEO of psychedelic research firm Panacea Plant Sciences, claims the DEA&#8217;s recent actions violate federal law and constitutional principles. Despite submitting a request to participate in the hearings, Heldreth&#8217;s company, Panacea Plant Sciences, was excluded from the list of 25 participants chosen by Milgram. This exclusion is at the heart of Heldreth&#8217;s lawsuit, which accuses the DEA of bias and of sidelining critical voices in favor of larger, established players in the industry.
Moreover, the Veterans Action Council (VAC), a cannabis advocacy organization for military vets, <a href="http://drugsense.org/temp/VACXPRESSXXRELEASE_X14XNovemberXX2024.pdf?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAAR1wzl2RC2z5p-kEiG9p4J03gHKGhie0JyDYxWJx3SdVSeDA7a_6WeEXL3Y_aem_ANUFL62rwPZ-jy58Hyw9-A" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">filed a petition</a> also <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/legal/24/11/42068859/veterans-group-challenges-dea-for-seat-at-cannabis-debate-table">challenging its exclusion</a> from the DEA&#8217;s participant list. VAC contends that the DEA failed to meet its obligation to include all interested parties. &#8220;The DEA was tasked with putting forward a group of ‘interested parties.&#8217; They failed to do so, as illustrated by the judge&#8217;s recent order,&#8221; said VAC&#8217;s Michael Krawitz.
