Ford Motor Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>) recalls nearly 274,000 SUVs in the U.S. due to a brake line defect.
The <a href="https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2025/RCLRPT-25V314-7594.PDF" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">recall</a> affects certain Ford Expedition and Lincoln Navigator models built between 2022 and 2024.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, front brake lines in some vehicles may have been bent during assembly. This could cause them to contact the engine air cleaner outlet pipe and increase the crash risk. 
Of the 273,789 affected vehicles, about 223,315 are Expeditions and 50,474 are Navigators. Ford traced the issue to its Kentucky Truck Plant, where a revised radiator hose stowage procedure was introduced in November 2024.

As of April, Ford received 45 warranty claims, two field reports, and two customer service complaints related to the issue. No one reported accidents or injuries thus far. The company&#8217;s Field Review Committee approved the recall on May 2, 2025.
Ford will notify owners by mail and instruct them to bring their vehicles to a Ford or Lincoln dealer to inspect the front brake line.

Tilray Brands, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TLRY#NASDAQ">TLRY</a>) shares are trading relatively flat in <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/movers" rel="noreferrer noopener">the premarket session on Wednesday</a>.
The firm has announced a product line expansion through its subsidiary, High Park Holdings Ltd., entering deeper into <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/05/g45402188/tilray-brands-announces-the-launch-of-xmg-atomic-sours-new-thc-beverages-and-edibles" rel="noreferrer noopener">Canada's cannabis-infused consumer market.</a>
The launch of XMG Atomic Sours, a new lineup of sour-flavored cannabis drinks and gummies, is the latest move in Tilray's bid to diversify its product portfolio and tap into emerging customer preferences.
Tilray said that the XMG Atomic Sours beverages is available nationwide via select retailers.

It includes the flavors Cherry Blasted Lime and Foggy Peaches. Each 355ml drink includes 10mg of THC, 10mg of CBG, and a caffeine content of 30mg sourced from guarana extract.
According to the company, the beverages utilize nano-emulsified THCA diamonds to speed up onset time, aligning with demand for fast-acting cannabis products.
The XMG Atomic Sours Gummies represent High Park's entry into the cannabis edibles space.
Plant-based pectin is used in place of gelatin, and the gummies are shaped like keys—a nostalgic nod aimed at invoking flavor memories. The company describes the flavor experience as "intensely sour."
This apart, the company continues to grow its cannabis and beverage offerings in North America and recently saw the return of its Blue Point Brewing Co.

What's Going On With Tilray Brands Stock On Wednesday?

Good Morning Traders! In today&#8217;s Market Clubhouse Morning Memo, we will discuss SPY, QQQ, AAPL, MSFT, NVDA, GOOGL, META, and TSLA.
Our proprietary formula, exclusive to Market Clubhouse, dictates these price levels. This dynamic equation takes into account price, volume, and options flow. These levels are updated every day and shared with all Clubhouse Members, prior to the opening of the market.
We recommend closely monitoring these stocks, and be prepared to leverage potential breakouts or reversals. As always, stay alert and ready to adjust your tactics based on the market&#8217;s pulse to optimize your trading gains. Now, let&#8217;s dive into the stock analysis:
SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (SPY)
SPY is currently trading near the 587.31 zone. If buyers can gain traction above this level, we'll be watching for a quick move toward 589.71. A sustained hold above 589.71 could open the door for a continued move higher into 592.00. Should that level find buyers, we'd anticipate upward continuation targeting 593.73. If bullish momentum persists throughout the session, the final upside target for the day sits at 595.14.&nbsp;
Should SPY struggle to maintain 587.31 as support, the next area to watch on the downside is 585.75. If this level is breached, expect sellers to try to press the auction lower into 584.68. A breakdown through that level with strong downside momentum could drag price down to 583.18. If the market turns particularly heavy, the lowest downside level we&#8217;re monitoring today is 581.97.
Invesco QQQ Trust Series 1 (QQQ)
QQQ is holding near the 515.00 level as the session begins. Bulls need to step in here to defend this spot, and if successful, we're looking for a move toward 516.58. Continued strength could carry the auction through to 517.97. Should buyers remain in charge, a break toward 518.65 is on the table. The highest upside marker we&#8217;re tracking today is 519.87.&nbsp;
If 515.00 fails to hold as support, we're watching for sellers to push the price down toward 513.64. If the downside intensifies, further targets include 511.53, with a heavier liquidation possibly taking the Q's into 509.87. If sellers remain in control deep into the session, the final downside target for the day is 508.22.
Apple Inc. (AAPL)
Apple is currently rotating around 212.44. For bullish momentum to continue, this level needs to act as a base for a push into 214.07. If that level clears with strength, 215.25 is the next objective. With continued interest from buyers, the market could drive toward 216.70, which is our high bull target on the day.&nbsp;
Should 212.44 break down early in the session, the first downside area of interest is 211.12. If that fails to catch a bid, we anticipate bears pressing the action toward 209.81. Continued weakness could take Apple into 208.81, and if that can't hold, our lowest support level for the day is down at 207.93.
Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>)
Microsoft is hovering near 446.33 as the day gets started. If bulls can defend this area and push the price higher, look for a test of 448.18. Holding above that zone could ignite further upside momentum toward 450.26. Should that level be converted into solid support, the high-side target for the session is 453.02.&nbsp;
If 446.33 does not hold during regular hours, expect bears to push the price into 444.95. If continued weakness follows, 442.95 is the next support area on watch. Should that give way, 441.34 is the next key level, with the low bear target sitting all the way down at 438.72.
NVIDIA Corporation (NVDA)
NVIDIA is hovering around 132.19 to start the session. If bulls can reclaim control, look for a move into 133.31. If this level sees strong participation from buyers, the next target to the upside is 134.56. With momentum, bulls could look to extend the auction up into 135.64, with 136.98 as the upside cap for today.&nbsp;
If 132.19 gives way to downside pressure, 131.42 becomes the next support to monitor. Should sellers push further, the auction could fall into 129.53. If downward momentum continues to build, we're watching 128.10, with a potential extension into the low bear target of 126.84.
Alphabet Inc Class A (GOOGL)
GOOGL is trading near 160.36. If bulls can stabilize the tape here, a move toward 161.79 is likely. Should that area be claimed and defended, there is potential for an advance into the high bull target of 163.79 before the close.&nbsp;
If price fails to hold above 160.36, the next level lower is 158.54. If that support doesn't hold up, expect bears to push toward 157.41. On continued weakness and heavy volume, the final downside target of interest is 156.61.
Meta Platforms Inc ( META)
Meta is positioned around 655.54 as the session begins. Bulls need to hold this level and push toward 658.86 for confirmation of strength. If that level is surpassed, 663.33 is the next major upside level. Continued buying pressure could push price action up to the high bull target of 667.99.&nbsp;
If Meta slips below 655.54, look for bears to attempt to break price down into 650.56. Should the selling persist, expect further movement toward 646.48. If this weakness continues into the session, a final flush to 642.59 is on the radar.
Tesla Inc. (TSLA)
Tesla is floating around the key 340.97 area. If bulls are able to step in and push price upward, we could see a move to 346.64. Sustained upside momentum would bring 350.87 into play. If the broader market supports it, Tesla could climb to 356.80, with the high bull target at 363.84 in play.&nbsp;
On the flip side, if 340.97 cannot support price action, Tesla could slide to 333.93. Should sellers stay in control, the next level lower is 327.59. If that fails, the final bear target for today is 322.52.
Final Word:&nbsp;
With no major data prints scheduled today, the market will likely take cues from Fed speak and headline-driven momentum. Jefferson's remarks at 9:10AM ET could provide subtle policy clues, but the bigger context remains yesterday's softer-than-expected CPI data. Traders may continue to weigh the implications of that inflation report on interest rate expectations and broader risk appetite.&nbsp;
In the absence of fresh economic catalysts, price action may be more technically driven. Be vigilant for sudden moves on news drops or large block prints. Maintain strong discipline, size accordingly, and don't force trades. Good luck out there.

Despite a strong performance in the last fiscal year and the announcement of a share buyback and the financial unit spin-off, the looming tariff burden has led to a more cautious outlook from the company.
Price Action: SONY stock traded higher by 5.62% at $25.92 premarket at last check on Wednesday.

New Proprietary Target Discovery and Validation Platform Integrates Multiomics, Contingent AI, Phenoclustering, and CRISPR Screens to Accelerate Drug Discovery
LOS ANGELES, May 14, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Renovaro Inc. (NASDAQ:<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RENB#NASDAQ">RENB</a>), an AI-driven precision medicine company that leverages AI/ML platforms to improve outcomes for cancer and neurologically challenged patients, today announced it has launched Augusta, a Precision Neurology Platform for patient stratification, biomarker discovery, drug discovery, and validation. Augusta is focused on neurology where diagnosis and treatment have historically lagged. Built on the company's Renovaro Cube and Elion platforms and recently validated through work in Parkinson's Disease and epilepsy, the platform combines multimodal data analytics with proprietary in silico screening to identify biomarkers and therapeutics in a fraction of the time of conventional methods.
Neurological disorders remain among the most difficult to diagnose and treat due to heterogeneity in symptoms, unclear disease boundaries, and limited biomarkers. Augusta addresses these challenges through:
<ul>
<li>Data Preprocessing: Augusta is the first biomedical-specific machine learning (ML) platform to perform fast, effective data pre-processing. It uses a patented process to enable optimization of all decision points in data processing, reducing bias and improving results for drug discovery/development, diagnostics, and precision medicine.</li>
<li>Phenoclustering: Advanced clustering of patient-level phenotypic and clinical data to define biologically and clinically meaningful subgroups.</li>
<li>Biomarker identification: Fusion of multimodal data pipelines with predictive analytics to derive precise, actionable biomarkers. Biomarkers include clinical features, as well as molecular features identified using proprietary transformer models designed to detect mutations and epigenetic alterations.</li>
<li>In silico screening: Proprietary models built on generative frameworks that predict the effect of disrupting thousands of genes in silico, reducing the number of experiments and animals used.</li>
<li>Closed loop validation: Initial validation in CRISPR modified zebrafish empowered by proprietary computer vision models provides fast confirmation of gene and small molecule effects on brain development and behaviour, while simultaneously providing readouts on unwanted toxicities in specific genetic backgrounds. &nbsp;</li>
</ul>
Unlike black-box approaches, the Augusta platform emphasizes interpretability, clinical alignment, and rigorous benchmarking. Augusta's modular infrastructure enables plug-and-play model evaluation, including for large language models (LLMs) conditioned using proprietary knowledge graphs. This supports continuous innovation while maintaining clinical and experimental robustness.

What Happened: NOYB, the group spearheaded by privacy activist Max Schrems, issued a &#8220;cease and desist&#8221; <a href="https://noyb.eu/en/noyb-sends-meta-cease-and-desist-letter-over-ai-training-european-class-action-potential-next-step">letter </a>to Meta on Wednesday. Meta intends to start using personal data from European Instagram and Facebook users from May 27. The company has defended its actions under EU privacy rules, claiming a legitimate interest in using user data to train its AI models and other tools, which may also be shared with third parties.
Last month, the Mark Zuckerberg-led company announced that users can object to their data being used for training via a provided form and assured that private messages and data from users under 18 will be excluded from training.
Schrems criticized Meta&#8217;s rationale, questioning the company&#8217;s &#8216;legitimate interest&#8217; in using user data for AI training.&nbsp;He suggested potential injunctions and a class action for non-material damages, noting that if 400 million European Meta users each claimed €500, the total could reach €200 billion ($224.62 billions).
&#8220;While the &#8216;legitimate interest&#8217; assessment is always a multi-factor test, all factors seem to point in the wrong direction for Meta. Meta simply says that it&#8217;s interest in making money is more important than the rights of its users,&#8221; said Schrems.
NOYB has given Meta a May 21 deadline to respond, proposing user opt-in options and clearer AI training terms to comply with EU privacy regulations.

Why It Matters: This development follows a series of events that have put Meta under scrutiny. In February, Meta and Alphabet (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/02/43880029/mark-zuckerbergs-meta-and-google-slam-europes-strict-ai-rules-sometimes-it-goes-too-far">criticized </a>Europe&#8217;s stringent AI regulations, arguing that these rules were hampering the growth of the region&#8217;s tech industry. 
In April, Meta and Apple (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) were fined <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/04/44952117/apple-and-meta-fined-nearly-800-million-for-violating-european-unions-digital-markets-act">nearly </a>$800 million for violating the European Union&#8217;s Digital Markets Act. Meta was also found to be <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44452879/meta-profits-from-llama-ai-models-despite-denials-court-filing-reveals">profiting </a>from its Llama AI models through revenue-sharing agreements with host businesses and facing lawsuits regarding the same. 
While other tech giants like Microsoft (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) have <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/45100454/microsoft-backs-eu-laws-despite-trumps-disapproval-in-big-tech-dispute-expands-european-data-centers">committed </a>to adhering to European laws, Meta&#8217;s stance has been met with criticism and potential legal action.
Meta holds a momentum rating of 87.81% and a growth rating of 75.91%, according to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/META" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga&#8217;s Proprietary Edge Rankings</a>. The Benzinga Growth metric evaluates a stock's historical earnings and revenue expansion across multiple timeframes, prioritizing both long-term trends and recent performance. 
Meta stock surged more than 39% over the past year.
