(Fitch) or Baa3 or above by Moodys Investors Service, Inc. (Moodys)) of U.S. and non U.S. corporate and government issuers, including mortgage-backed securities, while excluding or underweighting securities of corporate and certain non overeign government issuers based upon the Portfolios sustainability impact considerations.

Gold and <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/copper" rel="noreferrer noopener">copper producer</a> Aura Minerals (OTCQX:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ORAAF#OTCQX">ORAAF</a>) is preparing to raise approximately $210 million through a U.S. listing, aiming to expand its investor base beyond current markets in Canada and Brazil.
The company plans to offer 8.1 million shares and will list on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the AUGO ticker.
Although headquartered in Florida, Aura has been listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) and Brazil's B3 exchange. The <a target="_blank" href="https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2025/07/07/3111364/0/en/Aura-Announces-Launch-of-U-S-Public-Offering.html" rel="noreferrer noopener">U.S. listing</a> would open a new chapter for the company, providing access to the major capital market.
Proceeds from the offering will fund the $76 million cash portion of its June acquisition of Mineração Serra Grande from AngloGold Ashanti—a move that increases the miner's operation in Brazil.
Founder Paulo Carlos de Brito remains the controlling shareholder, holding around 53% of Aura's outstanding shares.
Aura's operations focus on the LATAM region. It operates in Brazil, Mexico, Honduras, and Colombia, with an additional project under development in Guatemala.
The firm dubbed its operational philosophy "360° Mining," encompassing sustainability, community engagement, and integrated value creation across the entire mining lifecycle.
Aura was named one of Benzinga's <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/commodities/24/01/36452207/4-mining-stocks-to-watch-in-2024-aura-oceanagold-alphamin-b2gold" rel="noreferrer noopener">top four mining stocks for 2024</a>, attracting attention with value, improving all-in-sustaining costs, and a hefty dividend. The stock rose 85% in 2024 and accelerated its momentum in 2025, gaining nearly 100% year-to-date to reach a market capitalization of CA$2.67 billion ($1.96 billion).
The gold sector as a whole has benefited from favorable macroeconomic dynamics. Spot gold prices have surged 26.5% this year, driven by geopolitical instability, inflation hedging, and continued central bank buying. In May alone, central banks added a net 20 tons to global reserves.&nbsp;
"Gold remains one of the most optimal hedges for the unique combination of stagflation, recession, debasement, and U.S. policy risks," <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/commodities/25/07/46233083/something-big-is-brewing-in-gold-stocks-and-the-dollar-jpmorgans-half-year-2025-outlook" rel="noreferrer noopener">said</a> Natasha Kaneva, Head of Global Commodities Strategy at JPMorgan.
The bank forecasts gold could average $3,675/oz in Q4 2025 and surpass $4,000 by 2026, supporting bullish sentiment in gold equities like Aura.
Top institutions, such as Bank of America and Goldman Sachs, lead Aura's U.S. offering. The final offer price will be based on the TSX closing price on July 14, ahead of the Nasdaq debut the following day.

Humacyte Announces Symvess Has Been Awarded  Electronic Catalog Listing Approval From US Defense Logistics Agency

Submission is based on long-term Phase 3 data demonstrating 63 percent reduction in risk of relapse in adults with schizophrenia compared to placebo
CAPLYTA&#174; is FDA approved to treat schizophrenia and is the first and only approved treatment for bipolar I and II depression as an adjunctive and monotherapy
With the addition of CAPLYTA&#174; to Johnson &amp; Johnson's robust portfolio of therapies, the Company now offers the broadest range of treatment options for adults with schizophrenia 
Johnson &amp; Johnson (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/jnj#NYSE">JNJ</a>) announced today the submission of a supplemental New Drug Application (sNDA) to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) based upon long-term data evaluating the safety and efficacy of CAPLYTA&#174; (lumateperone) for the prevention of relapse in schizophrenia. CAPLYTA&#174; is the newest addition to Johnson &amp; Johnson's portfolio of schizophrenia therapies, 
"For people living with schizophrenia, relapses can be devastating as they disrupt lives, undo hard-earned treatment progress toward patients' goals, and increase the risk of hospitalization with each episode," said Christoph U. Correll, M.D., Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at the Zucker School of Medicine at Hofstra/Northwell, New York.a "CAPLYTA&#174; substantially lowers the chance of relapse for patients compared to placebo, which is often a major source of anxiety and suffering for them and their families."
The submission is supported by positive results from a Phase 3, double-blind, multicenter, placebo-controlled, randomized withdrawal trial, which on the primary endpoint found time to relapse during the 26-week double-blind treatment phase was significantly longer in patients receiving CAPLYTA&#174; compared to those receiving placebo (p=0.0002). Treatment with CAPLYTA&#174; was also associated with a 63 percent reduction in risk of relapse versus placebo (hazard ratio [95% CI] = 0.37, [0.22, 0.65]). The key secondary endpoint showed a significantly delayed time to all-cause discontinuation, including relapse, compared with placebo during the double-blind phase (p=0.0007). The safety profile of CAPLYTA&#174; was consistent with the existing body of clinical data, and no new safety concerns were identified. The most commonly reported adverse event that was observed at a rate greater than or equal to 5% and twice the rate of placebo was headache.i which now offers the broadest range of oral and long-acting injectable treatment options to support each patient's individual treatment journey.

T. Rowe Price Group Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TROW#NASDAQ">TROW</a>) may be heading into a long stretch of underperformance, if the Adhishthana Cycle is anything to go by. The stock has now entered the 18th and final phase of its Adhishthana Cycle on the weekly chart, a phase that typically brings either a peak or a slump, depending on prior structure.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Breaking Down the Past Moves</h3>
TROW had shown strong structural alignment with the Adhishthana principles throughout much of its cycle. Particularly between Phases 10 to 12, the stock formed what&#8217;s referred to as the Adhishthana Himalayan Formation.&nbsp;
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full is-resized"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1200" height="1002" src="https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/08084654/TROW-Himalyan-Formation-Adhishthana.png" alt="Fig.1 TROW Himalayan Formation (Source: Adhishthana.com Reports)" class="wp-image-15444" style="width:580px;height:auto" srcset="https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/08084654/TROW-Himalyan-Formation-Adhishthana.png 1200w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/08084654/TROW-Himalyan-Formation-Adhishthana-300x251.png 300w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/08084654/TROW-Himalyan-Formation-Adhishthana-1024x855.png 1024w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/08084654/TROW-Himalyan-Formation-Adhishthana-768x641.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Fig.1 TROW Himalayan Formation (Source: Adhishthana.com Reports)</figcaption></figure>
The stock began to rally in Phase 10, signaling the start of the ascent of the formation, and ended the phase without a peak.
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">Quoting from my book: "The 18th interval is expected to be the level of peak formation; if not, then the 23rd interval. If this phase concludes without forming the peak, it is anticipated to occur in the following phases." — Adhishthana: The Principles That Govern Wealth, Time &amp; Tragedy
</blockquote>
With no peak visible in Phase 10, the stock continued upward with strong momentum into Phase 11, where it finally topped at $224.56. What followed was equally predictable within the Adhishthana context. A swift and deep correction known as the "Wrath of Ganga." This move erased much of the gains, pulling the stock back toward the origin of the rally and completing the Adhishthana Himalayan Formation with structural precision.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">What Phase 18 Means for TROW</h3>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full is-resized"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1200" height="456" src="https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/08084801/TROW-Adhishthana-Weekly-Chart.png" alt="Fig.2 TROW Weekly Chart (Source: Adhishthana.com Reports)" class="wp-image-15445" style="width:837px;height:auto" srcset="https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/08084801/TROW-Adhishthana-Weekly-Chart.png 1200w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/08084801/TROW-Adhishthana-Weekly-Chart-300x114.png 300w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/08084801/TROW-Adhishthana-Weekly-Chart-1024x389.png 1024w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/08084801/TROW-Adhishthana-Weekly-Chart-768x292.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Fig.2 TROW Weekly Chart (Source: Adhishthana.com Reports)</figcaption></figure>
With the stock now in Phase 18, the outlook gets murky. Typically, a stock may hit its Nirvana (the highest point in its cycle) during this phase, but only if certain preconditions are met. In TROW&#8217;s case, the Guna Triads (Phases 14–16) lacked the necessary bullish strength, known as Satoguna in the Adhishthana model.
Without this element, the stock is unlikely to rally in its current Phase 18. Instead, TROW may spend the remainder of this phase through June 28, 2026, in a state of bearish consolidation.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Monthly Outlook Adds Pressure</h3>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="539" src="https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/08084829/TROW-Monthly--1024x539.png" alt="Fig.3 TROW Monthly Chart (Source: Adhishthana.com Reports)" class="wp-image-15446" style="width:668px;height:auto" srcset="https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/08084829/TROW-Monthly--1024x539.png 1024w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/08084829/TROW-Monthly--300x158.png 300w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/08084829/TROW-Monthly--768x404.png 768w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/08084829/TROW-Monthly-.png 1166w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Fig.3 TROW Monthly Chart (Source: Adhishthana.com Reports)</figcaption></figure>
Zooming out, the monthly structure adds to the caution. TROW is currently in Phase 12 on the monthly chart. Similar to the weekly timeframe, the stock has completed its Himalayan Formation here as well — but without signs of continuation.
Here's the problem: the monthly Phase 13 doesn't end until late 2029. And if momentum remains weak through weekly Phase 18, a similar multi-year sideways or downward trend could follow on the monthly scale due to a range-bound Phase 12.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Investor Takeaway</h3>
TROW may not be the most attractive bet in its current structure. Long-term holders should be prepared for extended weakness or sideways movement, as there's little sign of strength emerging anytime soon. Even for those considering hedging, the wide spreads in the options chain make it a tough play for retail participants. As for new investors, it's best to stay on the sidelines until the structure shifts—something that doesn't appear likely in the near term.

T. Rowe Price: Why Shares Could See Prolonged Underperformance

Swissmedic, the Swiss Agency for Therapeutic Products, approved Novartis AG&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVS#NYSE">NVS</a>) Coartem (artemether-lumefantrine) Baby on Tuesday. This marks the first malaria medicine specifically approved for <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/health-care" rel="noreferrer noopener">newborns and young infants</a>.
The new treatment, also known as Riamet Baby in some countries, was developed in collaboration with Medicines for Malaria Venture (MMV).
Until now, there has been no approved malaria treatment for infants weighing less than 4.5 kilograms. They have instead been treated with formulations intended for use in older children, which may increase the risk of overdose and toxicity, the company <a target="_blank" href="https://ml-eu.globenewswire.com/Resource/Download/98420ef2-16eb-4e75-812a-4f868349ce60" rel="noreferrer noopener">said</a> in a statement on Tuesday. Malaria vaccines are also not approved for the youngest babies.

Malaria, caused by a parasite and spread to humans by some mosquitoes, remains a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/09/40758355/malaria-may-have-killed-half-of-humans-throughout-history-now-bill-gates-has-a-breakthrough-plan-" rel="noreferrer noopener">global health concern</a>, particularly in Africa. According to the most recent WHO data, there were 263 million cases of malaria and 597,000 deaths in 2023, almost all of them in Africa. Children under 5 years old accounted for about three in four malaria deaths in the region.
Some 30 million babies are born in areas of malaria risk in Africa every year, with one large survey across West Africa reporting infections ranging between 3.4% and 18.4% in infants younger than 6 months old. However, current data on malaria in young babies is minimal, as they are rarely included in clinical trials of antimalarial agents.
Novartis plans to introduce Coartem Baby on a largely not-for-profit basis to support access to care in malaria-endemic regions. The treatment is dissolvable, including in breast milk, and has a sweet cherry flavor to aid administration to infants.
The Swissmedic approval is based on the Phase 2/3 CALINA study, which investigated a new ratio and dose of Coartem (artemether-lumefantrine) to account for metabolic differences in babies under 5 kilograms.
The treatment is indicated for infants and neonates weighing between 2 and less than 5 kilograms with acute, uncomplicated infections caused by Plasmodium falciparum or mixed infections including P. falciparum. Coartem is known by the brand name Riamet in Switzerland and some other countries.
Eight African countries also participated in the assessment process and are expected to issue rapid approvals for Coartem Baby under Swissmedic&#8217;s Marketing Authorization for Global Health Products procedure.
Novartis developed the new dose strength designed for young infants with the scientific and financial support of MMV, and as part of the PAMAfrica consortium, which is co-funded by the European &amp; Developing Countries Clinical Trials Partnership and the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency.
Price Action: NVS is trading lower by 0.25% to $121.82 premarket at last check Tuesday.

Barclays Upgrades UWM Holdings to Overweight, Announces $6 Price Target

Quantum computing firm&nbsp;IonQ Inc. &nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IONQ#NYSE">IONQ</a>) saw a price target hike from Benchmark after the company successfully raised $1 billion through an equity offering at $55.49 per share, a notable 25% premium to the closing price last Thursday.
What Happened: The equity offering is likely to bring IonQ&#8217;s pro-forma cash to an estimated $1.68 billion, accelerating the company&#8217;s commercialization efforts. Benchmark analyst David Williams has reiterated a Buy rating on IonQ shares and increased his price target from $50 to $55, expressing confidence in IonQ&#8217;s potential in the quantum computing market, <a href="https://www.barrons.com/articles/ionq-stock-offering-buy-rating-be632dc5?">reported </a>Barrons.
The price target was raised following a fireside chat between Benchmark analysts and IonQ CEO Niccolo de Masi and CFO Thomas Kramer, which strengthened the firm's optimistic view of the company.
Williams highlighted IonQ&#8217;s unique approach, which includes &#8220;positioning itself as a leader in both quantum computing and the increasingly critical field of quantum networking.&#8221; He also noted the company&#8217;s plans to gradually scale up its quantum machines, expressing confidence in its technical roadmap.
The company&#8217;s CEO, Niccolo de Masi, has underscored IonQ&#8217;s focus on quantum networking as a more feasible approach to constructing larger quantum computers. 
IonQ is widely seen as having the most commercially focused and differentiated business model and market strategy in the quantum computing space. The company has set bold targets, aiming to expand from 256 physical qubits in 2026 to 2 million physical qubits and 80,000 logical qubits by 2030. Williams says its highly commercial and differentiated strategy positions the company well as the industry evolves.

Why It Matters: The quantum computing industry is gaining significant investor attention due to its long-term economic potential, with IonQ being a standout frontrunner, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/initiation/25/07/46229237/cash-rich-ionq-to-capture-20-of-quantum-market-by-2035-analyst">according to</a> Cantor Fitzgerald analyst Troy Jensen. Despite its nascent stage, the industry is seeing substantial stock valuations, with IonQ expected to capture 20% of the quantum market by 2035.
IonQ&#8217;s stock has been on a surge, with the company&#8217;s commitment to building a quantum ecosystem in Texas, following the passage of the Texas Quantum Initiative,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/06/46175752/ionq-stock-is-surging-monday-whats-driving-the-rally">driving the rally</a>.
Additionally, the company&#8217;s recent scientific achievements—such as advancements in protein folding and particle physics in partnership with the U.S. Department of Defense—highlight the company&#8217;s growing potential in the quantum computing space.
Benzinga Edge Stock Rankings show that IonQ stock had a strong price trend over the short, medium and long term. Its momentum ranking was strong at 9the 9th percentile, whereas its value ranking was poor at the 3rd percentile; the details of other metrics are available <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound">here</a>.
