Novel investigational dual-antigen-targeting&nbsp;immunotherapy binds to B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA) and GPRC5D on myeloma cells, as well as CD3 on T-cells&nbsp;
CHICAGO, June 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Johnson &amp; Johnson announced today initial Phase 1 results of JNJ-79635322 (JNJ-5322), a novel investigational trispecific antibody (TsAb) in patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma.

In the 27 patients who were naive to BCMA and GPRC5D directed therapies, the ORR was 100 percent at the RP2D.

A 22-year-old college student called into &#8220;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Sg4BQWIYyo">The Ramsey Show</a>&#8221; and said he was being financially &#8220;abused&#8221; by his parents. The student, identified only as Tyler, said he had been following Dave Ramsey&#8216;s <a href="http://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/05/45680116/couple-making-200k-wants-to-invest-60-of-their-income-dave-ramsey-says-thats-great-but-build-up-a-fat-juicy-down-payment-for-a-house-instead">baby steps</a> and recently used a school refund to pay off debt. His parents were not happy about it.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Student Loan Refund Sparks Family Drama</h2>
&#8220;I got my refund from school in May and it was close to about $4,000—exactly $3,999,&#8221; Tyler told hosts Jade Warshaw and Ken Coleman. &#8220;I used that money to pay off my debt, my car payment, and a little bit of my credit card payment.&#8221;

</ul>
Tyler said his parents were furious, claiming the money was theirs. &#8220;They were just absolutely furious about me, saying that that was their money and about the hard work they did to put me out here,&#8221; he explained.
He summed up the situation in one sentence: &#8220;My parents are financially abusing me.&#8221;
Coleman asked for clarification: was the refund from money Tyler had earned through work, or was it part of a student loan? Tyler said it was a mix of both—federal work-study and student loan overage.
When asked whose name was on the loan, Tyler replied, &#8220;I believe it&#8217;s mom and then me. I believe I&#8217;m the co-signer on it.&#8221;
That raised a red flag for the hosts. &#8220;You should have communicated with the parents because they&#8217;re involved in this financially,&#8221; Coleman told him..
Warshaw agreed, saying that while <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-pay-off-debt">paying off debt</a> was a smart instinct, Tyler should have talked to his mom first. &#8220;If your mom was like, &#8216;Wait a minute, you took this loan money that we&#8217;re both on the hook for to do this thing without consulting both of us,&#8217; I can see that,&#8221; she said.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Is It Really Abuse?</h2>
Tyler accused his parents of financially abusing him, but both hosts pushed back on the use of that word.
&#8220;I see no evidence of that,&#8221; Warshaw said bluntly. &#8220;You&#8217;re 22 now. Your parents can make suggestions, they can even try to strong-arm you to do things their way, but you don&#8217;t have to.&#8221;
Coleman was more direct: &#8220;You need to stop saying they&#8217;re financially abusing you because this is not anywhere close to it. It&#8217;s dramatic, and by the way, words matter.&#8221;
Tyler claimed the tension comes from his parents&#8217; spending habits. &#8220;They&#8217;re both spenders&#8230; My mom just bought a brand new Mercedes. My dad spends money constantly on his new truck,&#8221; he said. &#8220;They&#8217;ve always been haggling me for money.&#8221;
He also said they pressured him to help pay for a down payment on a truck—something he didn't want to do. Warshaw responded, &#8220;Then you don&#8217;t have to do it.&#8221;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Future Debt Could Tie Him To Parents Even More</h2>
The conversation shifted toward Tyler&#8217;s financial future. He currently has $40,000 in student loans and expects it to reach around $80,000 after finishing his degree in sports management at the University of Tennessee.
&#8220;You&#8217;re following in [your parents&#8217;] footsteps right now because you are taking on debt and you&#8217;re <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/11/41914082/dave-ramsey-says-its-stupid-to-go-into-debt-for-a-career-you-dont-borrow-money-to-cross-state-lines">going to an out-of-state school</a>,&#8221; Warshaw said. She advised Tyler to consider in-state options or work his way through school without borrowing more money, especially since his mother is on the loans.
&#8220;Mama&#8217;s going to be breathing down your neck every month, talking about, &#8216;Where&#8217;s the payment? You&#8217;re messing up my credit,'&#8221; she warned. &#8220;And that is going to jack you and her.&#8221;
Coleman added, &#8220;Nobody cares where you get your degree from. There&#8217;s a better way, Tyler.&#8221;

'My Parents Are Financially Abusing Me'—A College Kid Used His $3,999 School Refund To Pay Off Debt, But His Parents Say It Belongs To Them

Michael Saylor's Strategy (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>), the world's largest corporate holder of Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) on Monday introduced a new preferred stock product: Series A Stride Preferred (STRD) is designed to provide a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/25/06/45718471/michael-saylors-strategy-outperforms-apple-tesla-amazon-and-other-mag-7-stocks-and-its-not-even-close-has-the-bitcoin-treasury-bet-paid-off">high-yield return for long-term investors.</a>
The STRD <a href="https://x.com/saylor/status/1929871463521136697">offering</a> marks the company's third preferred instrument as it continues building a structured and diversified capital stack anchored in Bitcoin exposure.
STRD delivers a fixed 10% dividend with perpetual duration and ranks below Strategy's senior preferred instrument (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STRF#NASDAQ">STRF</a>), but above the firm's common equity.
It is structured to sit at the riskier end of the firm's yield curve but compensates investors with its highest payout to date among Strategy's preferred options.
Unlike (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STRF#NASDAQ">STRF</a>), which prioritizes capital preservation and mimics the risk profile of investment-grade fixed income, STRD is intended for investors seeking higher returns despite increased subordination.
Meanwhile, Strategy's other product STRK (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STRK#NASDAQ">STRK</a>) offers an 8% dividend and the added benefit of convertibility, placing it squarely between STRF and STRD in terms of both yield and risk.
Strategy's common stock MSTR remains the base layer of its capital stack, functioning as the firm's core vehicle for leveraged Bitcoin exposure.
The STRD issuance is non-callable in typical market conditions, though it may be repurchased if certain events occur, such as a major corporate restructuring or tax-related change.

Dividends will be distributed quarterly, in cash, but only at the discretion of the board.
The firm claims STRD compares favorably to other high-yield investment vehicles on the market. 
For example, unlike ETFs such as iShares Preferred &amp; Income Securities ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PFF#NASDAQ">PFF</a>) and iShares Broad USD High Yield Corporate Bond ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/USHY#NASDAQ">USHY</a>), STRD carries no management fees and offers a stronger yield proposition: 10% versus 7–8% for its ETF counterparts, while maintaining comparable volatility.
This new product aligns with Strategy's broader push to merge structured financial instruments with crypto exposure. 
The goal: deliver yield, diversification and exposure to digital assets in formats that fit traditional investment portfolios.
According to the company, the launch of STRD further extends its commitment to modernizing capital formation strategies using a layered and yield-tiered approach rooted in both crypto conviction and financial discipline.

SOMERSET, N.J., June 03, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Legend Biotech Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LEGN#NASDAQ">LEGN</a>) (Legend Biotech), a global leader in cell therapy, announced today new long-term results from the CARTITUDE-1 study in heavily pretreated relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) patients. RRMM patients were treated with a single infusion of CARVYKTI&#xAE; (ciltacabtagene autoleucel; cilta-cel) with no maintenance or subsequent myeloma therapy. Notably, an unprecedented 33% (32 of 97) of patients remained progression-free for five years or more.
These data were featured in an oral presentation at the 2025&nbsp;American Society of Clinical Oncology&nbsp;(ASCO) Annual Meeting (<a href="https://www.globenewswire.com/Tracker?data=SUvaU_r4L_ZQGCtcGNJFmwrN7awYRxvTJx-N64piM7dYeIDzCpoh6j_mHdFQX52t67C83Czvmcia9-49Nw4jEJkkqeoBXxtLV3aq3F2REjHx5e2-DGfM4zrlCFa_8zyYtNWxf7rSBbYfxybbPj60vg==">Abstract #7505</a>). To date, more than 6,500 patients have been treated with CARVYKTI&#xAE;, the first and only CAR T-cell treatment in multiple myeloma to show overall survival benefit vs. standard of care.
In a subset of 12 patients from a single center from this analysis who underwent serial minimal residual disease (MRD) assessments, all 12 patients remained progression-free ≥5 years, were MRD-negative and showed no disease on annual PET/CT scans for five years.

Citi Trends, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CTRN#NASDAQ">CTRN</a>)&nbsp;stock gained on Tuesday after the company reported <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/06/b45741625/citi-trends-announces-first-quarter-fiscal-2025-results" rel="noreferrer noopener">first-quarter earnings</a>.
The company reported a&nbsp;quarterly sales growth of 8.3% year-on-year to $201.7 million, topping the analyst consensus estimate of $183.6 million.
Comparable store sales increased 9.9% compared to Q1 2024 fueled by increases in traffic, basket and conversion, reflecting the continued impact of improved product style and value, addition of off-price extreme value and better product allocation methods, the company said in a press release.

Adjusted EPS of 17 cents topped the&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/earnings" rel="noreferrer noopener">consensus loss estimate</a> of 92 cents.
The gross margin of 39.6% expanded 90 basis points Y/Y due to a higher initial markup, lower shrink, and lower freight expense, partially offset by planned in-season markdowns.
Merchandise inventory decreased by 7.6% year-over-year to $109.9 million. Average in-store inventory decreased 4.9% vs. the same period last year while supporting 9.9% comparable store sales growth. The company said inventory is significantly fresher, with a 45% decrease in aged product.
The company reported adjusted EBITDA of $5.4 million compared to a loss of $0.8 million a year ago. Citi Trends held $41.6 million in cash and equivalents as of May 3, 2025.
In the first quarter of fiscal 2025, the company repurchased 250,555 shares of its common stock, spending a total of $6.3 million.&nbsp;
At the end of the quarter, $40.0 million remained available under the company&#8217;s share repurchase program.
CEO Ken Seipel expressed his satisfaction with the strong Q1 results, highlighting that positive trends were evident across all retail metrics, encompassing both apparel and non-apparel categories, all climate zones, and all store volumes.
He noted that this sales momentum has carried into the second quarter of fiscal 2025, with quarter-to-date comparable store sales trending in the mid-to-upper-single digits.
While acknowledging macro-economic uncertainties, particularly concerning tariffs, Seipel said, &#8220;Our approach is to be aggressive to drive growth and remain flexible to react and adjust as needed.&#8221;
&#8220;For the foreseeable future, our teams have successfully held net product costs flat in the aggregate, finding alternative goods when needed and taking advantage of off-price opportunities created by the disrupted environment. As a result, we have mitigated near-term margin pressure, and we remain optimistic about our ability to control our business results,&#8221; he added.
Citi Trends now expects <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/guidance" rel="noreferrer noopener">comparable store sales</a> growth of mid-single digits (up from prior low-to-mid-single digits). The company&nbsp;expects adjusted EBITDA of $6 million-$10 million (<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/03/44377404/citi-trends-stock-jumps-despite-q4-miss-bets-big-on-off-price-model" rel="noreferrer noopener">up from prior</a> $5 million-$9 million).
The company reiterated plans to open up to 5 new stores, remodel approximately 50 stores, and close up to 5 locations.
Price Action: CTRN shares are trading higher by 13.1% to $30.55 at last check Tuesday.

TotalEnergies SE (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TTE#NYSE">TTE</a>) shares are trading lower on Tuesday after the company disclosed that it had acquired a portfolio of eight solar projects (350 MW capacity) and two battery storage projects <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/equities" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">(85 MW capacity) from Low Carbon</a>.
Solar projects are already in advanced development and are targeted <a target="_blank" href="https://totalenergies.com/news/press-releases/uk-totalenergies-acquires-pipeline-solar-and-battery-projects" rel="noreferrer noopener">to </a>become operational by 2028.
These projects are expected to generate over 350 GWh per year of renewable electricity, which could power around 100,000 UK households.
Olivier Jouny, SVP of renewables at TotalEnergies said, "The acquisition of these solar and battery projects located in the south of England will complement our integrated electricity portfolio in the UK, which includes 1.1 GW of gross installed offshore wind, 1.3 GW of gross combined cycle gas turbine, and more than 600 MW of solar projects under development."
Roy Bedlow, chief executive and founder at Low Carbon, added: "Once built, these projects will make a vital contribution to the Government's Clean Power 2030 ambition and reinforce Low Carbon's track record for developing renewable assets of the highest quality, while supporting the build out of the rest of our renewables pipeline as we continue to scale as an independent power producer."
