<p><strong>Roche Holdings AG</strong> (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RHHBY#OTC">RHHBY</a>) announced on Tuesday that it will invest $50 billion in the U.S. over <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/pharmaceuticals">the next five years.</a></p>
<p>These investments further strengthen Roche's already significant U.S. footprint, which includes 13 manufacturing and 15 R&amp;D sites across the Pharmaceutical and Diagnostics Divisions.</p>
<p>The investment is expected to <a href="https://www.roche.com/media/releases/med-cor-2025-04-22" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">create</a> over 12,000 new jobs, including nearly 6,500 construction jobs and 1,000 jobs at new and expanded facilities.</p>

<p>As part of this investment, Roche will increase its footprint of more than 25,000 employees in 24 sites across eight U.S. states. The investment will include: </p>
<ul>
<li>Expanded and upgraded US manufacturing and distribution capabilities for its innovative medicines and diagnostics portfolio in Kentucky, Indiana, New Jersey, Oregon, and California.</li>
<li>Gene therapy manufacturing facility in Pennsylvania.</li>
<li>A new 900,000-square-foot manufacturing center to support Roche's expanding portfolio of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/25/04/44791986/whats-going-on-with-viking-therapeutics-structure-therapeutics-stock-on-monday" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">next-generation weight loss medicines</a>.

<li>Significant expansion and upgrading of existing pharmaceuticals and diagnostics R&amp;D centers in Arizona, Indiana, and California.</li>
</ul>
<p>Once all new and expanded manufacturing capacity comes online, Roche will export more medicines from the U.S. than it imports. The company says its diagnostics division already has an export surplus from the U.S. to other countries.</p>

Sapiens Taps APAC Growth With $22 Million Candela Acquisition

Shares of retail and consumer discretionary stocks are trading higher following US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent's reported remarks about trade de-escalation with China. De-escalation with China could reduce supply chain uncertainty and boost consumer sentiment.

<p>Cantor Fitzgerald initiated coverage on <strong>Eli Lilly And Co</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LLY#NYSE">LLY</a>) on Monday, citing orforglipron data, which strengthens <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/weight-loss" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">the case for obesity dominance</a>.</p>
<p>Last week, the U.S. drug giant reported topline Phase 3 results from the ACHIEVE-1 trial of orforglipron compared to placebo in adults with type 2 diabetes and inadequate glycemic control with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44860903/eli-lillys-oral-glp-1-drug-orforglipron-hits-phase-3-goals-in-diabetes-trial-stock-shoots-higher" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">diet and exercise alone</a>.</p>
<p>In the first Phase 3 trial of the ACHIEVE program, orforglipron met the primary endpoint of superior A1C (blood sugar) reduction compared to placebo at 40 weeks, lowering A1C by an average of 1.3% to 1.6% from a baseline of 8.0%,&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/25/04/44871681/lillys-diabetes-pill-clears-major-trial-analyst-points-to-global-potential" rel="noreferrer noopener">using the efficacy estimand</a>.</p>
<p>After a choppy second half of 2024, &#8220;Lilly is off to a solid start in &#8217;25,&#8221; Cantor analyst Carter Gould writes. The company reported positive orforglipron ACHIEVE-1 data and improved underlying GLP-1 commercial metrics. </p>
<p><strong>Also Read: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44907170/upcoming-pfizer-earnings-call-might-be-focused-on-tariffs-policy-risks-and-obesity-pipeline" rel="noreferrer noopener">Upcoming Pfizer Earnings Call Might Be Focused On Tariffs, Policy Risks And Obesity Pipeline</a></strong></p>
<p>&#8220;&#8230;We view the ACHIEVE-1 data as meaningfully de-risking a 13-16% weight loss profile, and if safety/tolerability holds up, it should leave LLY well-positioned to take share from semaglutide and further grow the market with an oral approach,&#8221; analyst Gould adds.</p>
<p>Cantor writes that Eli Lilly could have an over 85% share of the obesity market by 2029-2030E when the next wave of entrants hits. Cantor initiated with an Overweight rating and a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/LLY/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">price target of $975</a>.</p>
<p>Eli Lilly&#8217;s first-quarter earnings are in the front row for investors.</p>
<p>The company is scheduled to release the financial performance on 1 May. Analysts expect $4.79 per share earnings with <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/earnings" rel="noreferrer noopener">sales of $12.93 billion</a>.</p>
<p>Cantor expects modest beats across Mounjaro/Zepbound and that the company will likely reaffirm the FY25 topline guide ($59-61 billion) as a raise is more likely after the second quarter of 2025.</p>
<p>In March, the company announced the launch of its popular weight loss drug Mounjaro (tirzepatide) in India, which is expected to have the second-largest population of overweight or&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44824190/eli-lillys-mounjaro-launch-triggers-weight-loss-craze-in-india-novo-nordisk-seeks-to-move-up-wegovy-launch" rel="noreferrer noopener">obese people by 2050</a>.</p>
<p>Rival<strong>&nbsp;Novo Nordisk A/S&#8217;&nbsp;</strong>(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVO#NYSE">NVO</a>) is feeling the pressure as it tries to move up the launch of Wegovy in India to better compete with Lilly.</p>
<p>BofA Securities has also made minor changes to its model for Eli Lilly ahead of Q1 earnings.</p>
<p>BofA analyst Tim Anderson writes that IQVIA recently began including Lilly Direct vials in its TRx (total prescription) data. As for pricing, Eli Lilly expects an overall price decline by the mid-to-high single digits in 2025. While this isn&#8217;t specific to any product, the company suggests that falling prices for its obesity drugs will likely be a major factor.</p>
<p>For 2025/2026, revenues are changed by +1%/+0.4%, and EPS estimates change by +1.9%/-0.7%. No substantial changes to Mounjaro/Zepbound forecasts.</p>
<p>BofA reiterates the Buy rating with a price target of $1,000. &#8220;We continue to like LLY, not &#8220;expensive&#8221; on a PE-to-growth basis, by our math.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Price Action:</strong> LLY stock is up 0.59% at $822.84 at the last check Tuesday.</p>

Eli Lilly Positioned To Dominate Obesity Market With Oral Option, Analyst Initiates With Confidence

<p>On 4/20, while most were lighting up, <strong>Snoop Dogg</strong> dropped a trip—visually speaking.</p>
<p>Directed by <strong>Dave Meyers</strong> and produced by <strong>Psyop</strong> in collaboration with <strong>Temple Caché</strong>, the music video for <strong>&#8220;Last Dance with Mary Jane</strong>&#8220;—Snoop's cannabis-laced reimagining of the <strong>Tom Petty</strong> classic—takes viewers on a mind-bending ride through the rapper's life, inner cities and stoner dreams. The track, from Snoop's &#8220;Missionary&#8221; album, released last year via <strong>Death Row, Aftermath</strong> and <strong>Interscope,</strong> features <strong>Jelly Roll</strong>, cameos by <strong>B-Real</strong>, <strong>Method Man</strong>, <strong>Redman</strong>, <strong>Wiz Khalifa</strong> and even visual nods to <strong>Bob Marley</strong>, <strong>Tupac</strong> and Tom Petty himself.</p>
<p><figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><br />

Tom Petty &amp; Jelly Roll (Official Music Video)" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/rseqmSGH7xk?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
</div>
<p></p></figure></p>
<p>This isn't your typical hip-hop video; it's a genre-smashing blend of handcrafted animation and generative AI, layered across a semi-autobiographical storyline about Snoop's lifelong relationship with cannabis and the justice issues it invokes.</p>
<p>"Being able to partner with Dre, Snoop and Dave to create a visual style that hasn't been done is exactly the type of project we live for," said <strong>Joe Maggiore</strong> of Psyop.</p>
<p>The visuals? Insane. Think 2D, 3D, collage, motion design and surreal AI landscapes. But it's not AI doing the storytelling—every frame was touched by human hands, ensuring emotional nuance and a narrative throughline. "Storytelling requires nuance," said Psyop's <strong>Andrew Linsk</strong>, explaining why AI alone couldn't carry the vision.</p>
<p>The end result is both a love letter to cannabis and a statement on America—its cities, its culture, its contradictions.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Meanwhile… Jet Black Roses Go Full Funkadelic</h2>
<p>If Snoop's video is a lucid dream, <strong>Jet Black Roses'</strong> new single is a fever-drenched backyard boogie. Its latest track, <strong>&#8220;Psychoboogie Hoochiecoo,</strong>&#8221; arrives with a brain-melting video by <strong>Steffan Heil</strong> (of Adult Swim fame) and production by <strong>Greg Archilla</strong> (Neil Young, Collective Soul, Matchbox Twenty).</p>
<p>No AI. No autotune. Just brass, groove and sweat.</p>

<p><strong>MusicRow</strong> nailed it: "Funky, horn-punctuated Southern rock with some built-in grease."</p>
<p>The band describes itself as the &#8220;Coolest Dad Rock Band in America,&#8221; but that barely scratches it. Picture the swagger of Little Feat, the freak of Funkadelic and the slink of The Meters—wrapped in Jet Black Roses' Louisiana-born harmonies and storytelling.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s shared stages with <strong>Styx</strong>, <strong>Sammy Hagar</strong> and <strong>Collective Soul</strong>. It&#8217;s not riding genre trends. It&#8217;s playing from the gut—and it shows.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s 2025 is just getting started.</p>

Shares of metals and materials stocks are trading higher following US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent's reported remarks about trade de-escalation with China. De-escalation with China could reduce demand uncertainty.

<p>Shares of <strong>Tivic Health Systems, Inc. </strong>(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TIVC#NASDAQ">TIVC</a>) are soaring Tuesday after the company announced it held senior-level briefings with White House officials and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), which resulted in strong interest in potential military and defense <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/04/b44920336/tivic-health-reports-white-house-briefing-and-fda-meetings-secured-positive-interest-in-potential-">product candidates</a>.</p>
<p><strong>What To Know: </strong>Tivic disclosed that it presented its therapeutic programs to senior leadership at the White House and FDA  on Thursday. Discussions centered around the company's TLR5 and non-invasive cervical vagus nerve stimulation (ncVNS) programs. </p>
<p>The White House meeting focused on the TLR5 program and its lead product candidate, Entolimod, which is being developed to treat acute radiation syndrome. The briefing addressed the need for better treatment options for radiation exposure and highlighted Entolimod's role in enhancing immune response through the TLR5 pathway, which is part of the body's innate immune system.</p>
<p>The company noted that Entolimod previously received significant development funding from various U.S. government agencies, including BARDA, NASA, the Defense Threat Reduction Agency, the Department of the Army and the Department of Defense. Tivic emphasized the potential for Entolimod to offer advantages over current treatments, such as providing gastrointestinal and hematopoietic protection from radiation in a single dose.</p>
<p>In a separate meeting, Tivic met with senior leadership at the FDA to discuss potential expedited regulatory pathways for both Entolimod and Entolasta, a second-generation TLR5 agonist. </p>
<p>The company also presented its ncVNS program to the FDA, which is targeting a range of inflammatory, cardiac and neurologic conditions. The FDA gave favorable feedback, including potential support for breakthrough device designation upon completion of relevant clinical work.</p>
<p>&#8220;We deeply appreciated the opportunity to discuss the importance of our clinical pipeline in potentially protecting and healing both active and retired military personnel, first responders, as well as U.S. citizens and our allies,&#8221; said Jennifer Ernst, CEO of Tivic Health.</p>
<p>&#8220;While these meetings were informal in nature, we expect to continue these discussions as Entolimod and our ncVNS medical programs progress toward potential FDA approval.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>TIVC Price Action</strong>: Tivic Health shares traded as high as $13.23 on Tuesday. The stock was up 107.7% at $7.28 at the time of publication, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro.</a></p>

Tivic Health Systems Stock Is On Fire Today: What's Going On?

<p><strong>Invesco QQQ Trust</strong> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>), considered a proxy for large-cap growth and tech-dense innovation,  faltered considerably in 2025.</p>
<p><strong>What Happened</strong>: The ETF has had year-to-date losses of 13.44%. While alarming on its own, this number conceals more profound undercurrents within its<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs"> underlying makeup</a>, most notably the fortunes of &#8220;Magnificent Seven&#8221; stocks, which collectively comprise more than 40% of the QQQ.</p>
<p>The decline among these mega-cap growth stars has been swift and, by some accounts, historic. <strong>Roundhill Magnificent Seven ETF</strong> (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MAGS#BATS">MAGS</a>) mirrors this group of stocks and is down over 12% for the past six months.</p>
<p>As investment advisory company Bespoke Investment Group recently<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44916598/tariff-pause-fizzles-mag-7-stocks-slide-back-to-pre-pause-lows"><strong> noted, there is more downside risk</strong></a>.</p>
<p><strong>Also Read: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/specialty-etfs/25/04/44895562/3-high-risk-etfs-aggressive-retail-investors-cant-stop-buying">3 High-Risk ETFs Aggressive Retail Investors Can&#8217;t Stop Buying</a></strong></p>
<p>A convergence of global macroeconomic headwinds has helped to bring about this weakness. J.P. Morgan Asset Management <a href="https://www.advisorpedia.com/markets/can-mega-cap-tech-stocks-withstand-the-tariff-pressure/">underscores </a>that around 75% of the suppliers to these companies are overseas, many in jurisdictions that are newly subject to fresh tariffs under new U.S. trade policy. </p>
<p>Adding to the squeeze, corporate behemoths and Mag7 members such as <strong>Alphabet </strong>(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>), <strong>Apple </strong>(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>), and <strong>Microsoft </strong>(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) get more than half of their revenues abroad. Consequently, rising trade tensions and supply chain risks continue to be primary risk considerations for investors assessing exposure to QQQ or its underlying tech giants.</p>
<p><strong>Why It Matters</strong>: A wider view presents a more complex picture. According <a href="https://www.advisorpedia.com/markets/can-mega-cap-tech-stocks-withstand-the-tariff-pressure/">to </a>J.P. Morgan&#8217;s <strong>Stephanie Aliaga</strong>, the recent decline has not been caused by a deterioration in underlying fundamentals. </p>
<p>Instead, it is a repricing of risk in the face of heightened uncertainty regarding margins, capital spending, and earnings expectations. This has resulted in significant compression in valuation. </p>
<p>Importantly, the forward price-to-earnings (P/E) multiple for the Magnificent Seven has fallen from around 31x early in the year to about 22x—its lowest price since January 2023, before the then-ongoing artificial intelligence (AI) cycle of investment.</p>
<p>This relative discount may attract long-term investors looking for quality at a better entry point. These companies are at the core of the QQQ portfolio and leading in innovation, especially in AI and cloud computing. Their impact on the overall market, and the QQQ, is still unbroken.</p>
<p>However, near-term prudence is likely to be justified. Trade headwinds are not likely to subside quickly, and more volatility in mega-cap growth can be expected. But for those with the stomach for short-term dislocations, the combination of cheap valuations and continued innovation leadership presents an attractive argument for revisiting QQQ and its Mag 7 exposure.</p>
