Tech Rally and PCE Inflation Relief Lift Wall Street; Nasdaq Futures Surge as Micron Lead Market RallyJune 25, 2026 9:14 AM
IH Market News Dow Jones, S&P 500 and Nasdaq Futures are trading sharply higher this Thursday, fueled by a massive rally in the tech sector and investor relief over official inflation data. Pre-market optimism gained traction after corporate earnings crushed Wall Street estimates, while the macroeconomic landscape offered signs of monetary stability and cooling commodity prices. During pre-market trading, Nasdaq 100 futures surged an impressive 2.3%, leading gains in New York. S&P 500 futures rose 0.8%, while the Dow Jones posted a more modest advance, climbing 143 points (0.3%). In-Line PCE Brings Monetary Relief The day’s primary economic indicator, May’s Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) price index—the Federal Reserve’s preferred inflation metric—rose 0.4% for the month, coming in slightly below the 0.5% ceiling projected by economists. Over the past 12 months, the PCE recorded a 4.1% increase. Core PCE, which excludes volatile food and energy prices, rose 0.3% month-over-month and 3.4% year-over-year, landing exactly in line with consensus projections. Although underlying inflation remains above the Fed’s 2% target—justifying keeping interest rates at their current range of 3.50% to 3.75% per year—the market breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing that recent geopolitical shocks have not triggered an uncontrolled inflationary spiral. The 10-year Treasury yield ticked slightly higher by 1 basis point to 4.414%. Oil Erases War Gains, Plummeting Over 1% In the commodities market, the tone was one of sharp decompression. Brent crude futures for August delivery fell 1.4%, trading at $72.68 per barrel, erasing the risk premiums accumulated since the onset of hostilities in the Middle East. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) followed the same downward trend, dropping 1.4% to $69.35. The significant decline comes after the United States and Iran brokered a deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, releasing more than 20 oil tankers carrying approximately 35 million barrels of crude oil that had been held in the Persian Gulf for over three months. Citi analysts project that, as flows normalize, Brent should fall into the $60 to $65 range in the coming months. However, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy issued a warning that traffic will only be tolerated along routes strictly designated by Tehran, keeping geopolitical risks firmly on the radar. Top Corporate Moves on Wall Street Top Gainers Micron Technology (NASDAQ:MU): Shares of the chipmaker skyrocketed nearly 18% after reporting adjusted earnings of $25.11 per share (versus $20.78 expected) and seeing its annualized revenue quadruple to $41.46 billion. The company recorded a historic gross margin of 84.9%, outperforming giants like Meta and Nvidia, and is on track to open at an all-time high. Qualcomm (NASDAQ:QCOM): Surged 9.8% on the back of semiconductor optimism and after nearly doubling its 2029 revenue projection for non-smartphone segments, targeting $40 billion. Memory and Chip Sector: Driven by these results, Western Digital and SanDisk jumped more than 13% and 15%, respectively. Lam Research rose over 7%. Bio-Techne (NASDAQ:TECH): Shares surged 19.3% following confirmation of its acquisition by pharmaceutical giant Merck (NYSE:MRK) for $73 per share. Wendy’s (NASDAQ:WEN): Rose more than 11%, compounding a roughly 32% gain for the week, driven by strong appetite from retail investors. Top Losers: Darden Restaurants (NYSE:DRI): Fell over 3% after presenting a mixed fiscal fourth-quarter report and issuing full-year sales and earnings guidance below FactSet estimates. Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN): Dipped slightly by 0.5% in pre-market trading. Despite announcing an additional $13 billion mega-investment in artificial intelligence and cloud infrastructure (AWS) in India through 2030, initial investor reaction was cautious regarding the scale of the capital expenditures. Corporate & Finance: JPMorgan Chase (NYSE:JPM): Shares rose 0.2% after the bank named Doug Petno and Troy Rohrbaugh as new co-presidents and heads of the financial institution’s largest divisions. The announcement is part of Jamie Dimon’s succession planning and marks the retirement of executive Marianne Lake.

Bio-Techne and Refeyn Close Critical Gap in Bispecific Antibody and Biosimilar CharacterizationJune 4, 2026 6:30 AM
PR Newswire (US) New integrated workflow combines icIEF fractionation and mass photometryEnables direct characterization of aggregation and size within icIEF-resolved charge variantsFour-hour workflow reduces development risk and accelerates biosimilar manufacturingMINNEAPOLIS and OXFORD, England, June 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Bio-Techne Corporation (NASDAQ: TECH), a global provider of life science tools, reagents and diagnostic products, and Refeyn, the pioneer in mass photometry technology, today announced a first-of-its-kind integrated workflow for the characterization of charge and size variants in bispecific antibodies and biosimilars.By combining R&D Systems MauriceFlex™ imaged capillary isoelectric focusing (icIEF) fractionation system with Refeyn's TwoMP mass photometry platform, researchers can directly correlate charge heterogeneity with molecular weight and aggregation at single-molecule resolution in a streamlined four-hour workflow.Bispecific antibodies are among the fastest-growing classes of biotherapeutics, but their structural complexity makes thorough characterization challenging. Incomplete characterization can delay development, increase manufacturing risk, and lead to costly late-stage failures.The MauriceFlex™ system delivers high-resolution separation and fractionation of charge variants, a capability increasingly expected in regulatory submissions. However, analyzing the size and aggregation of individual charge fractions has historically been difficult due to the large sample requirements of traditional methods.The integrated workflow addresses this challenge directly by pairing icIEF fractionation with mass photometry. Charge variants are first separated using MauriceFlex™, then analyzed on Refeyn's TwoMP platform, which requires only nanogram-level sample and reveals size distribution and aggregation at single-molecule resolution.Together, the technologies enable direct characterization of aggregation and size within icIEF-resolved charge variants—an insight not accessible with standalone methods—reducing reliance on multiple tests and enabling faster, more efficient process development."Bispecifics are the fastest growing segment within next-generation antibodies, but they are very difficult to characterize. This approach directly addresses one of the biggest challenges by combining icIEF fractionation with mass photometry. Researchers can now interrogate charge and size variants together in a single workflow," said Gerry Mackay, CEO of Refeyn."Our customers are under intense pressure to develop and manufacture increasingly complex biologics faster and more efficiently. Enabling deeper characterization with less sample helps them reduce risk, control costs, and make better decisions earlier in development," said Will Geist, President Bio-Techne Protein Sciences Segment.In a joint webinar, scientists demonstrated the workflow using Mosunetuzumab-axgb and a biosimilar, tracking size-related changes in the molecule across charge variant fractions under multiple conditions. An application note with full findings is available here.The workflow will also be presented at the American Society for Mass Spectrometry (ASMS) conference, taking place May 31 – June 4, 2026, in San Diego.

PR Newswire (US) MINNEAPOLIS, May 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Bio-Techne Corporation (NASDAQ: TECH) today reported its financial results for the third quarter ending March 31, 2026.Third Quarter FY2026 HighlightsReported and organic revenue declined 2% to $311.4M, negatively impacted by prior-year GMP fast-track orders and timing of large Commercial Supply shipmentsGAAP EPS increased to $0.32 from $0.14; adjusted EPS was $0.53, down from $0.56Large pharma delivered the sixth consecutive quarter of double-digit growth, offset by a continued lag in spending by emerging biotech; U.S. academic markets stabilized with low-single-digit growthGrowth vectors performed well, with mid-single-digit growth in Proteomic Analysis instruments, mid-teens growth in Spatial Biology, and nearly 50% growth in GMP proteins excluding fast-track customers"The Bio-Techne team delivered solid execution amid a mixed end-market environment," said Kim Kelderman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Bio-Techne. "Large pharma again led results with the sixth consecutive quarter of double-digit growth, supported by momentum in Asia and stabilizing U.S. academic demand. While biotech funding remains healthy, it has not yet translated into broad-based demand across our portfolio."Kelderman continued, "We are encouraged by early indicators pointing to a more constructive outlook as funding activity and customer purchasing begin to realign. Our portfolio is organized to support durable, high-value applications across the scientific journey, from biological discovery and translational insight to therapeutic development, manufacturing, and precision diagnostics. Together with our strong operating discipline and financial flexibility, Bio-Techne remains well positioned to deliver attractive long-term value for our stakeholders."Conference CallBio-Techne will host an earnings conference call today, May 6, 2026, at 8:00 a.m. CDT.

Organic revenue decreased 2% compared to the prior year, with foreign currency exchange having a favorable impact of 2%, and non-recurring prior year revenue from a business held-for-sale having an unfavorable impact of 2%.GAAP Earnings ResultsGAAP EPS was $0.32 per diluted share versus $0.14 in the same quarter last year. GAAP operating income for the third quarter of fiscal 2026 increased 95% to $75.5 million compared to $38.7 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2025. GAAP operating margin was 24.2% compared to 12.2% in the third quarter of fiscal 2025. Current quarter GAAP operating margin was favorably impacted by ongoing profitability initiatives, the Exosome Diagnostics divestiture, and a non-recurring arbitration payment in the prior year, partially offset by unfavorable product mix.Non-GAAP Earnings ResultsAdjusted EPS decreased to $0.53 per diluted share compared to $0.56 in the same quarter last year. Adjusted operating income decreased to $106.5 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2026 compared to $110.3 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2025. Adjusted operating margin was 34.2% for the third quarter of fiscal 2026 compared to 34.9% in the third quarter of fiscal 2025. Adjusted operating margin was unfavorably impacted by volume and product mix, partially offset by ongoing profitability initiatives and the Exosome Diagnostics divestiture.Segment ResultsManagement uses adjusted operating results to monitor and evaluate performance of the Company's business segments, as highlighted below.Protein Sciences SegmentThe Company's Protein Sciences segment is one of the world's leading suppliers of specialized proteins such as cytokines and growth factors, immunoassays, antibodies and reagents, to the biopharma and academic research communities.

The Protein Sciences segment's operating margin decreased to 44.2% in the third quarter of fiscal 2026 compared to 45.6% in the third quarter of fiscal 2025.

The Diagnostics and Spatial Biology segment's operating margin increased to 12.1% in the third quarter of fiscal 2026 compared to 9.4% in the third quarter of fiscal 2025.

$140,670Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures:This press release contains financial measures that have not been calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (GAAP). We provide these measures as additional information regarding our operating results. We use these non-GAAP measures internally to evaluate our performance and in making financial and operational decisions, including with respect to incentive compensation. We believe that our presentation of these measures provides investors with greater transparency with respect to our results of operations and that these measures are useful for period-to-period comparison of results. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures used in this press release to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures as provided with the financial statements attached to this press release.Our non-GAAP financial measure of organic revenue and organic revenue growth represent revenue growth excluding revenue from acquisitions within the preceding 12 months, the impact of foreign currency, the impact of businesses held-for-sale, as well as the impact of partially-owned consolidated subsidiaries. Excluding these measures provides more useful period-to-period comparison of revenue results as it excludes the impact of foreign currency exchange rates, which can vary significantly from period to period, and revenue from acquisitions that would not be included in the comparable prior period. Revenues from businesses held-for-sale are excluded from our organic revenue calculation starting on the date they become held-for-sale as that revenue will not be comparable in future periods. Revenues from partially-owned subsidiaries consolidated in our financial statements are also excluded from our organic revenue calculations, as those revenues are not fully attributable to the Company. There was no revenue from partially-owned consolidated subsidiaries in fiscal years 2026 or 2025.Our non-GAAP financial measures for adjusted gross margin, adjusted operating margin, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted net earnings, in total and on a per share basis, exclude stock-based compensation, which is inclusive of the employer portion of payroll taxes on those stock awards, the costs recognized upon the sale of acquired inventory, amortization of acquisition intangibles, and restructuring and restructuring-related costs. Stock-based compensation is excluded from adjusted net earnings because of the nature of this charge, specifically the varying available valuation methodologies, subjective assumptions, variety of award types, and unpredictability of amount and timing of employer related tax obligations. The Company excludes amortization of purchased intangible assets, purchase accounting adjustments, including costs recognized upon the sale of acquired inventory, and other non-recurring items including gains or losses on goodwill and long-lived asset impairment charges, and one-time assessments from this measure because they occur as a result of specific events, and are not reflective of our internal investments, the costs of developing, producing, supporting and selling our products, and the other ongoing costs to support our operating structure. Costs related to restructuring and restructuring-related activities, including reducing overhead and consolidating facilities, are excluded because we believe they are not indicative of our normal operating costs.  Additionally, these amounts can vary significantly from period to period based on current activity. The Company also excludes revenue and expense attributable to partially-owned consolidated subsidiaries as well as revenue and expense attributable to businesses held-for-sale in the calculation of our non-GAAP financial measures.The Company's non-GAAP adjusted operating margin, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted net earnings, in total and on a per share basis, also exclude acquisition related expenses inclusive of the changes in fair value of contingent consideration, and other non-recurring items including certain costs related to the transition to a new CEO, goodwill and long-lived asset impairments, and gains. We also exclude certain litigation charges which are facts and circumstances specific including costs to resolve litigation and legal settlement (gains and losses). In some cases, these costs may be a result of litigation matters at acquired companies that were not probable, inestimable, or unresolved at the time of acquisition.The Company's non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net earnings, in total and on a per share basis, also excludes gains and losses from investments, as they are not part of our day-to-day operating decisions (excluding our equity method investment in Wilson Wolf as it is certain to be acquired in the future) and certain adjustments to income tax expense. Additionally, gains and losses from investments that are either isolated or cannot be expected to occur again with any predictability are excluded. The Company independently calculates a non-GAAP adjusted tax rate to be applied to the identified non-GAAP adjustments considering the impact of discrete items on these adjustments and the jurisdictional mix of the adjustments. In addition, the tax impact of other discrete and non-recurring charges which impact our reported GAAP tax rate are adjusted from net earnings. We believe these tax items can significantly affect the period-over-period assessment of operating results and not necessarily reflect costs and/or income associated with historical trends and future results.  View original content to download multimedia:https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/bio-techne-releases-third-quarter-fiscal-2026-results-302763516.htmlSOURCE Bio-Techne Corporation Original: Bio-Techne Releases Third Quarter Fiscal 2026 Results

$177,549 Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures:This press release contains financial measures that have not been calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (GAAP). We provide these measures as additional information regarding our operating results. We use these non-GAAP measures internally to evaluate our performance and in making financial and operational decisions, including with respect to incentive compensation. We believe that our presentation of these measures provides investors with greater transparency with respect to our results of operations and that these measures are useful for period-to-period comparison of results. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures used in this press release to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures as provided with the financial statements attached to this press release.Our non-GAAP financial measure of organic revenue and organic revenue growth represent revenue growth excluding revenue from acquisitions within the preceding 12 months, the impact of foreign currency, the impact of businesses held-for-sale, as well as the impact of partially-owned consolidated subsidiaries. Excluding these measures provides more useful period-to-period comparison of revenue results as it excludes the impact of foreign currency exchange rates, which can vary significantly from period to period, and revenue from acquisitions that would not be included in the comparable prior period. Revenues from businesses held-for-sale are excluded from our organic revenue calculation starting on the date they become held-for-sale as that revenue will not be comparable in future periods. Revenues from partially-owned subsidiaries consolidated in our financial statements are also excluded from our organic revenue calculations, as those revenues are not fully attributable to the Company. There was no revenue from partially-owned consolidated subsidiaries in fiscal years 2026 or 2025.Our non-GAAP financial measures for adjusted gross margin, adjusted operating margin, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted net earnings, in total and on a per share basis, exclude stock-based compensation, which is inclusive of the employer portion of payroll taxes on those stock awards, the costs recognized upon the sale of acquired inventory, amortization of acquisition intangibles, and restructuring and restructuring-related costs. Stock-based compensation is excluded from adjusted net earnings because of the nature of this charge, specifically the varying available valuation methodologies, subjective assumptions, variety of award types, and unpredictability of amount and timing of employer related tax obligations. The Company excludes amortization of purchased intangible assets, purchase accounting adjustments, including costs recognized upon the sale of acquired inventory, and other non-recurring items including gains or losses on goodwill and long-lived asset impairment charges, and one-time assessments from this measure because they occur as a result of specific events, and are not reflective of our internal investments, the costs of developing, producing, supporting and selling our products, and the other ongoing costs to support our operating structure. Costs related to restructuring and restructuring-related activities, including reducing overhead and consolidating facilities, are excluded because we believe they are not indicative of our normal operating costs.  Additionally, these amounts can vary significantly from period to period based on current activity. The Company also excludes revenue and expense attributable to partially-owned consolidated subsidiaries as well as revenue and expense attributable to businesses held-for-sale in the calculation of our non-GAAP financial measures.The Company's non-GAAP adjusted operating margin, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted net earnings, in total and on a per share basis, also exclude acquisition related expenses inclusive of the changes in fair value of contingent consideration, and other non-recurring items including certain costs related to the transition to a new CEO, goodwill and long-lived asset impairments, and gains. We also exclude certain litigation charges which are facts and circumstances specific including costs to resolve litigation and legal settlement (gains and losses). In some cases, these costs may be a result of litigation matters at acquired companies that were not probable, inestimable, or unresolved at the time of acquisition.The Company's non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net earnings, in total and on a per share basis, also excludes gains and losses from investments, as they are not part of our day-to-day operating decisions (excluding our equity method investment in Wilson Wolf as it is certain to be acquired in the future) and certain adjustments to income tax expense. Additionally, gains and losses from investments that are either isolated or cannot be expected to occur again with any predictability are excluded. The Company independently calculates a non-GAAP adjusted tax rate to be applied to the identified non-GAAP adjustments considering the impact of discrete items on these adjustments and the jurisdictional mix of the adjustments. In addition, the tax impact of other discrete and non-recurring charges which impact our reported GAAP tax rate are adjusted from net earnings. We believe these tax items can significantly affect the period-over-period assessment of operating results and not necessarily reflect costs and/or income associated with historical trends and future results.

NO REASON.

No worries, just read a blurb on a new diet drug that sounds pretty promising from these guys. Fexaramine, from these guys, looking at clinicals in 2-3 years.

Is there a reason you're no longer following it or just got tired and needed more time with others?

NO longer follow TECH.
SORRY

Hey Trend, saw you over on AAL. This guy just popped up on my radar, obviously nothing going on in the board. What are your thoughts on this, if you have any beyond your charts? Not sure if you're on this one or not.
