The company reported record product revenue of USD 99.3 million, up 66% year-over-year, driven primarily by USD 91 million in U.S. sales of its melanoma therapy Amtagvi. Iovance is targeting the launch of a Phase 1/2 basket trial in the second half of 2026 after receiving FDA clearance for its IOV-5001 IND. ### Intuit (INTU.US) Intuit shares have dropped roughly 20% after the company lowered its growth guidance for TurboTax in Q3 2026. Bank of America downgraded Intuit to neutral in August 2026, with analysts noting that artificial intelligence is reshaping demand for tax products, forcing the company into a transition year. Despite this, the board approved a 15% increase in its quarterly dividend to USD 1.38 per share in September. ### Regeneron Pharmaceuticals (REGN.US) Regeneron is up over 33% in the past 90 days. The company reported Q2 2026 total revenue of USD 4.29 billion, a 17% increase year-over-year, alongside a 38% surge in global net sales of Dupixent to USD 6 billion. The FDA has accepted the regulatory application for cemdisiran with priority review, setting a target action date for November 2026. ### Vertex Pharmaceuticals (VRTX.US) Vertex completed its acquisition of Crinetics Pharmaceuticals for approximately USD 10 billion on September 1, 2026. Q2 2026 total revenue reached USD 3.33 billion, up 12% year-over-year, while cash and marketable securities swelled to USD 13.6 billion. The management team is expected to address integration details across multiple investor conferences in September, according to people familiar with the matter. ### Viomi Technology (VIOT.US) Viomi received a minimum bid price notice from Nasdaq. The company reported an approximate 50% year-over-year drop in H1 2026 revenue to RMB 740 million, shifting to a net loss amid the removal of government water purifier subsidies and reduced orders from Xiaomi. As of June 2026, the company had repurchased roughly 2.4 million ADSs. ### Churchill Capital Corp XI (CCXI.US) Churchill Capital Corp XI is nearing a deal to bring Agility Robotics public through a merger that values Agility at USD 2.5 billion. The entities confidentially submitted a draft registration statement on Form S-4 in July 2026, and Agility has appointed a new CFO in preparation for the business combination. ### Natera (NTRA.US) Natera generated USD 752.8 million in Q2 2026 revenue, up 37.7% year-over-year, processing over 1.04 million tests. The company narrowed its net loss to USD 67 million as Medicare expanded coverage for its transplant products and its Signatera test secured EU IVDR Class C certification. Sector landscape data indicates that investors are increasingly reallocating capital toward biotechnology leaders with clear commercialization paths and robust cash flows, while taking a wait-and-see approach on hardware and software service providers navigating structural demand shifts. *This article does not constitute investment advice.* ### Related Stocks - [IOVA.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/IOVA.US.md) - [INTU.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/INTU.US.md) - [REGN.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/REGN.US.md) - [VRTX.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/VRTX.US.md) - [VIOT.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/VIOT.US.md) - [CCXI.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/CCXI.US.md) - [NTRA.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NTRA.US.md) ## Related News & Research - [10:07 ETREGN Investor Alert: Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
