Etsy, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ETSY#NASDAQ">ETSY</a>), which operates two-sided online marketplaces that connect millions of passionate and creative buyers and sellers around the world, today announced the pricing of $650 million aggregate principal amount of 1.00% convertible senior notes due 2030 (the "notes") in a private placement to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933,&nbsp;as&nbsp;amended&nbsp;(the&nbsp;"Securities&nbsp;Act").&nbsp;Etsy also granted the initial purchasers of the notes an option to purchase, within a 13-day period beginning on, and including, the date on which the notes are first issued, up to an additional $50 million aggregate principal amount of notes.&nbsp;The sale of the notes is expected to close on June 16, 2025, subject to customary closing conditions.
The notes will be general unsecured obligations of Etsy and will accrue interest payable semiannually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 of each year, beginning on December 15, 2025, at a rate of 1.00% per year. The notes will mature on June 15, 2030, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased. The initial conversion rate will be 11.6570 shares of Etsy's common stock per $1,000 principal amount of notes (equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $85.79 per share). The initial conversion price of the notes represents a premium of approximately 42.5% over the last reported sale price of Etsy's common stock on June 11, 2025. The notes will be convertible into cash, shares of&nbsp;Etsy's common stock or a combination of cash and&nbsp;shares of&nbsp;Etsy's&nbsp;common&nbsp;stock,&nbsp;at&nbsp;Etsy's election.&nbsp;
Etsy estimates that the net proceeds from the offering will be approximately $639.3 million (or approximately $688.5 million if the initial purchasers exercise their option to purchase additional notes in full), after deducting the initial purchasers' discount and estimated offering expenses payable by Etsy. Etsy expects to use approximately $150.0 million of the net proceeds from the offering to repurchase shares of Etsy's common stock as described below, and the remainder of the net proceeds from the offering for general corporate purposes, which may include the repayment or repurchase, at or prior to maturity, of our existing debt securities.

NexGen Energy Ltd.&nbsp; (TSX:<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NXE#TSX">NXE</a>) (NYSE:<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NXE#NYSE">NXE</a>) (ASX: NXG)&nbsp;("NexGen" or the "Company")&nbsp;is pleased to announce that the Saskatchewan Ministry of Environment has granted approval for NexGen's 2025 Site Program (the "Program") at its 100%-owned Rook I Property in the Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan. The Program includes the establishment of a temporary exploration airstrip, expansion of the exploration accommodation camp facilities by 373 beds and site access road improvements.
The Program will commence in the coming weeks and conclude with camp commissioning in Q1 2026. This program builds on NexGen's disciplined, strategic approach to implementing infrastructure enhancements required to support the Company's exploration programs at PCE and that forecast across NexGen's dominant land package in northwestern Saskatchewan into the future.
The drill results of high-grade basement hosted mineralization discovered at PCE 3.5km east from the Arrow deposit indicate another significant scale zone "Arrow style" of mineralization is materializing and warrant these infrastructure enhancements incorporating best practice safety and environmental principles.
Incorporating NexGen's longstanding approach to economic capacity building, the Program will prioritize Local Priority Area participation, generating new employment and contracting opportunities for Indigenous and community members, reflecting NexGen's industry leading and genuine approach to local communities.

Airbus SE (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EADSF#OTC">EADSF</a>) CEO Christian Scherer says the aircraft manufacturer can reach its 2025 delivery target despite delays due to supply chain issues.
What Happened: The company, which is targeting 820 aircraft deliveries in 2025, is "cautiously hopeful" despite over 40 aircraft frames waiting to be fitted with engines, Reuters reported on Thursday.
"We haven&#8217;t changed our (delivery) guidance. I caution you not to extrapolate too much from monthly numbers. There is a gradual increase in output of engines that we get from CFM. The reason we have not changed our outlook for the year is because we believe that between now and the end of the year we will get the engines,&#8221; Scherer said.
The aircraft manufacturer sources its engines from CFM, which also supplies the engines that power Boeing Co.'s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) 737 Max Aircraft.
Scherer says Airbus can meet its production target of 75 units of single-isle aircraft like the Airbus A320 by 2027. "We are just cruising past 60 (a month). We are trending in the right direction into the 60s," the report said.
Why It Matters: The news comes in as the global aircraft industry is dealing with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43865891/elon-musks-involvement-key-to-solving-boeings-air-force-one-delivery-crisis-report">supply chain constraints</a>.

Boeing has endured a tough spell in recent years over quality control and safety issues with its aircraft. Most recently, A London-bound <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/06/45899174/boeing-dreamliner-carrying-over-200-passengers-crashes-shortly-after-takeoff-near-indias-ahmedabad-ba-stock-falls-over-5-in-thursday-pre-market">Boeing 787 Dreamliner</a> aircraft operated by Air India crashed moments after it took off from Ahmedabad in India&#8217;s Gujarat state on Thursday. The flight was said to be carrying over 240 people onboard.
The FAA, or Federal Aviation Administration, also recently proposed a flightworthiness report for the company after <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44811150/faulty-bathroom-latches-could-cost-boeing-34-million-following-faa-directive">faulty bathroom latches</a> resulted in a passenger being stuck inside the lavatory of a Boeing aircraft during a flight.

ADC Therapeutics SA (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ADCT#NYSE">ADCT</a>), a commercial-stage global leader and pioneer in the field of antibody drug conjugates (ADCs), today announced updated data&nbsp;from the LOTIS-7 Phase 1b open-label clinical trial evaluating the safety and efficacy of ZYNLONTA&#xAE;&nbsp;in combination with the bispecific antibody glofitamab (COLUMVI&#xAE;) in patients with relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (r/r DLBCL) to be presented at the European Hematology Association 2025 Congress (EHA2025) in Milan, Italy. The Company will host a conference call and webcast featuring LOTIS-7 trial principal investigator and EHA presenting author, Juan Alderuccio, MD, Clinical Site Disease Group Leader, Lymphoma Section, at Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center, part of the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine today at 8:00 a.m. ET to discuss the results. To access the conference call, please register <a href="https://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=4447834-1&amp;h=1413992372&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fapp.webinar.net%2FRp8ZqrVqKdQ&amp;a=here">here</a>.
&nbsp;
"The data seen in this study with the combination of ZYNLONTA and glofitamab has shown a manageable safety profile along with strong efficacy data from patients with relapsed or refractory DLBCL, with complete responses observed regardless of prior therapy, including CAR-T," said Mohamed Zaki, MD, PhD, Chief Medical Officer of ADC Therapeutics. "The combination of these two anti-cancer agents holds significant promise for advancing the treatment landscape and addressing unmet need in patients with these hard-to-treat lymphomas."
The presentation highlights updated data as of April 14, 2025, in which r/r LBCL patients received dose levels of 120 µg/kg or 150 µg/kg of ZYNLONTA plus the bispecific antibody glofitamab, with 41 patients evaluable for safety and 30 patients evaluable for efficacy.
Key highlights of the LOTIS-7 data presentation are as follows:
<ul>
<li>Best overall response data among the 30 efficacy evaluable patients shows overall response rate (ORR) of 93.3% (28/30 pts) as assessed by Lugano Criteria</li>
<li>Complete response (CR) rate of 86.7% (26/30 pts)
<ul>
<li>Of these, 25/26 patients achieving CR remain in CR as of the data cut-off
<ul>
<li>Median time to CR in 120 µg/kg = 80 days</li>
<li>Median time to CR in 150 µg/kg = 42 days</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>12 patients converted from stable disease (SD) or partial response (PR) to CR over time (1 and 11 pts respectively)</li>
<li>Of the 6 patients previously treated with CAR-T and undergoing response assessment, 5 achieved a CR</li>
<li>Among the 41 safety&nbsp;evaluable patients, the combination was generally well tolerated with a manageable safety profile and no DLTs across dose levels
<ul>
<li>Grade 3 or higher treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs) observed in &gt; 5% of patients included neutropenia (24.4%), anemia (9.8%), AST increased (7.3%), GGT increased (7.3%), and thrombocytopenia (7.3%)</li>
<li>In the 150 µg/kg dose, cytokine release syndrome (CRS) (23.8%), all of which were Grade 1, and immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS) (4.8%), with one case of Grade 2, were observed</li>
<li>In the 120 µg/kg dose, CRS all grades (55%), all of which were Grade 1/2 except one case of Grade 3, and ICANS (10%), with one case of Grade 1 and one case of Grade 2, were observed</li>
<li>TEAEs leading to discontinuation included 3 each for&nbsp;ZYNLONTA and glofitamab</li>
<li>There were no Grade 5 TEAEs observed</li>
</ul>
</li>

Teleflex Incorporated (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TFX#NYSE">TFX</a>), a leading global provider of medical technologies, today announced findings from a new multinational study reporting efficacy of Arrow&#x2122; Chlorhexidine-Impregnated Central Venous Catheters (CVCs). This prospective cohort study included more than 6,670 patients from 12 Intensive care units in eight hospitals across India, Malaysia, Papua New Guinea, Colombia, Egypt and Turkey.
Key highlights include:
<ul>
<li>The pre-specified CVC subgroup analysis evaluated the impact of Chlorhexidine-impregnated CVCs on CLABSI rates using CLABSI rates per 1,000 CL (central-line)-days.</li>
<li>70.5% reduction in the incidence of CLABSI in patients with Arrowg+ard Blue&#x2122; and Arrowg+ard Blue Plus&#x2122; CVCs vs. plain (non-impregnated) catheters.</li>
<li>Lower incidence of infection-causing pathogens with Chlorhexidine-impregnated CVCs, including gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria and fungi.</li>
<li>Insertion training and the use of maximal barrier precautions were similar across both groups, eliminating technique variability as a confounding factor.</li>
<li>Use of an unprotected CVC may be an independent risk factor for CLABSI when compared to patients with Chlorhexidine-impregnated CVCs. &nbsp;</li>
</ul>
The study's CVC analysis demonstrated a statistically significant reduction in CLABSIs of 70.5% in patients receiving the impregnated antimicrobial catheters. These patients had longer average length of ICU stay and device utilization ratios, indicating frequent and extended use. Despite this, infection remained significantly lower, underscoring the potential benefit of the antimicrobial technology even in high-risk patients. Acknowledging potential variations in patients and characteristics across study hospitals and the lack of a metric (e.g., Standard Infection Ratio) to adjust for these factors in the countries in the study, the authors noted that the study data nonetheless provides "significant evidence" regarding impregnated CVCs.

Xpeng Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XPEV#NYSE">XPEV</a>) debuted the new all-electric G7 SUV in China as the country's brutal EV price war shows no signs of relenting.
What Happened: The Chinese automaker received over 10,000 pre-orders for the G7 SUV in under 46 minutes, CnEVPost reported <a href="https://cnevpost.com/2025/06/12/xpeng-g7-10000-pre-orders-46-mins/">on</a> Thursday.
Xpeng says display models of the SUV are available across multiple outlets in China. The SUV would retail for around 235,810 Yuan or slightly under $33,000, pitting it squarely against Tesla Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) cheapest vehicle in China, the Model 3.

The SUV also features Xpeng's Turing AI chip, which is developed in-house by the automaker, marking a shift away from the previously utilized Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) autonomous driving chipsets.
Why It Matters: The G7 debuts in what is a cutthroat market as China's EV price war has put pressure on the country's supply chains, with several automakers, including EV giant BYD Co. Ltd. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDF#OTC">BYDDF</a>) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDY#OTC">BYDDY</a>) pledging <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45878086/tesla-rivals-byd-xpeng-pledge-faster-supplier-payments-amid-ev-price-war-in-china-report">faster payments to suppliers</a>.
The EV price war was also called out by the Chinese Communist Party's newspaper, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/topics/25/06/45715047/byds-aggressive-pricing-triggers-ev-rat-race-stock-tumbles-authorities-voice-concern">The People's Daily</a>, which equated it to a ‘rat race' and warned of negative effects on the country's supply chain, as well as product quality issues, among other things.
However, the aggressive pricing strategy continues as BYD recently released the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45855643/tesla-rival-byd-launches-15000-seal-06-sedan-as-chinas-ev-price-war-heats-up">Seal 06 EV</a> sedan, which retails for $15,000, undercutting the Tesla Model 3 as well as the G7 SUV's price by almost half.

Financial Times Reported  Xpeng Claims Its Self-designed Turing Processors Outperform Those Of Nvidia

An Atari 2600 chess cartridge has humiliated OpenAI's vaunted ChatGPT, highlighting the limits that large language models still face outside pure text.
What Happened: Citrix engineer Robert Caruso <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/posts/robert-jr-caruso-23080180_ai-chess-atari2600-activity-7337108175185145856-HSP0/">pitted</a> ChatGPT-4o against Video Chess (1979) through an emulator and watched the bot "get absolutely wrecked on the beginner level," he wrote on LinkedIn.
Caruso said the 90-minute match went downhill immediately: the bot "confused rooks for bishops, missed pawn forks and repeatedly lost track of where pieces were," first blaming Atari's pixel icons and then floundering even after he switched to algebraic notation.
The system begged to restart several times before the 1.19 MHz console sealed the win.
Chess has long served as a yardstick for machine intelligence. IBM's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IBM#NYSE">IBM</a>) Deep Blue dethroned the world champion, then Garry Kasparov, in 1997, but ChatGPT is a language generator and not a search-heavy chess engine, and therefore unlikely to serve that purpose well.

Developers have tried to bridge the gap with plugins such as ChessGPT, yet the model still stumbles at board-state memory and legal-move tracking, as Caruso states.
Why It Matters: The flop arrives as ChatGPT jostles with Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) Google's Gemini, Microsoft's (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) Copilot and Anthropic's Claude for everyday users.

OpenAI, for its part, rolled out a more "reliable" GPT-o3 Pro model earlier this week, hoping to keep developers loyal.
OpenAI on Monday said its annualized revenue run rate has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45852700/openai-surges-past-10-billion-in-annualized-revenue-amid-record-chatgpt-use-leaves-rivals-like-amazon-backed-anthropic-behind">climbed to $10 billion</a>, nearly doubling the $5.5 billion it posted at the end of 2024. The figure, which excludes Microsoft licensing fees and other one-off deals, reflects recurrent sales driven by ChatGPT's growing base of 500 million weekly active users as of March.
The company is reportedly <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44580172/openai-finalizes-historic-40-billion-funding-round-valuing-company-at-300-billion-with-backing-from-softbank-and-microsoft">seeking up to $40 billion</a> in a SoftBank-led funding round that could push its valuation to $300 billion. Rival Anthropic, backed by Amazon (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) and Alphabet, has crossed a $3 billion run-rate after securing $3.5 billion in capital, giving it a $61.5 billion valuation.

Bloomberg Reported Mattel Taps OpenAI To Help It Design Toys, Other Products

A new study from Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) is stirring debate about whether AI models can genuinely reason or simply mimic intelligent behavior. By testing systems like GPT-4 variants and Claude on classic logic puzzles, the research suggests that these tools may stumble when real problem-solving is required.
What Happened: Apple released a study challenging the notion that large language models (LLMs) can logically reason through complex tasks. Ars Technica <a href="https://arstechnica.com/ai/2025/06/new-apple-study-challenges-whether-ai-models-truly-reason-through-problems/">explains</a> that by testing popular models like OpenAI's o1 and o3, Claude 3.7 Sonnet, and DeepSeek-R1 on classic logic puzzles such as Tower of Hanoi and river crossing tasks, the research team discovered that these systems often fail when they encounter unfamiliar challenges that demand systematic thinking.
Even when equipped with established algorithms, the models struggled—highlighting a key gap between performing intelligently and actually thinking logically.
"It is truly embarrassing that LLMs cannot reliably solve Hanoi," said AI researcher Gary Marcus, with co-lead Iman Mirzadeh adding the models' behavior shows "their process is not logical and intelligent."
The study also found that while some models performed better on moderately difficult tasks by implementing step-by-step reasoning, they failed completely as complexity increased, often reducing their reasoning effort instead of expanding it.
This odd drop-off in effort, despite ample computing resources, shows what the researchers call a "counterintuitive scaling limit." Inconsistencies were also seen across a variety of puzzles, suggesting the failures are task-specific rather than purely technical.

Why It Matters: Some experts are countering Apple's conclusions, arguing that the apparent reasoning failures in AI models may originate from built-in constraints rather than inherent flaws.
Pierre Ferragu, an analyst at&nbsp;New Street Research, said that the paper is riddled with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45830549/pierre-ferragu-takes-apple-to-task-for-dismissing-the-ai-revolution-has-its-head-in-the-sand">"ontological nonsense."</a>
Economist Kevin A. Bryan suggested that these systems are trained to use shortcuts under tight computational budgets. He and others note that internal benchmarks show models perform better when allowed more tokens, but production systems restrict this on purpose to avoid inefficiency, meaning the Apple findings might be discovering limits by design, not nature.
Others, like software engineer Sean Goedecke and AI researcher Simon Willison, question whether logic puzzles are even fair tests for language models. Goedecke described DeepSeek-R1's failure on the Tower of Hanoi as a conscious decision to avoid impractical output, not a lack of ability.
Willison added that the test may simply run into token limits, hinting that the paper is more sensational than conclusive. Even Apple's researchers admit the puzzles represent a narrow slice of reasoning challenges and caution against generalizing their results too widely.
The study comes on the heels of the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45844424/apple-wwdc-2025-ios-26-announced-with-liquid-glass-design-new-apple-intelligence-features-and-more">Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC)</a>, where Apple made a range of new announcements about its products.
