Carnival Corporation &Amp; Plc (CCL) – Tuesday, Mar 5, 2024

- The company was severely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, halting service for 15 months and taking on substantial debt

Crypto Crisp: Three In A Row
- In the past one and a half months, exchange-traded crypto funds have been launched in two countries.
- Hong Kong introduced both Bitcoin and Ethereum exchange-traded products in late April, followed by the UK doing the same last week.
- Tomorrow, Australia will launch its Bitcoin spot ETF, but like the recent launches in Hong Kong and the UK, we do not expect it to be a major success.
MNOV: Multiple Abstracts Presented at 92nd EAS Congress
- On May 28, 2024, MediciNova, Inc. (MNOV) announced that two abstracts regarding MN-001 (tipelukast) and MN-002 were presented as posters at the 92nd European Atherosclerosis Society (EAS) 2024 Congress.
- The poster on MN-001 discussed the objectives and design of the ongoing Phase 2 clinical trial enrolling patients with Type 2 diabetes, dyslipidemia, and NAFLD, which has now enrolled a total of 33 patients.
- The other presentation regarded the mechanism of action of MN-001/MN-002 in lipid metabolism.
ONVO: Annual Report Bolsters Case for Company
- Organovo is a biotech company that has 3D technology enabling the company to produce various human tissues, allowing the company to target diseases and accelerate the drug development process.
- The company released its annual report that showed good cash balances, and also recently released positive Phase 2 results for one of its primary treatments-FXR314.
- These results are very encouraging and bolster our belief in the future prospects for ONVO.
ConocoPhillips/Marathon Oil and Shale Consolidation
- Conocophillips is set to acquire Marathon Oil in an all-stock deal (0.2550 COP US per 1 MRO US) valued at $22.5 billion ($30.33/share), including $5,379 million in net debt.
- Most of the frenzy in the US oil industry has focused on the consolidation within the Permian Basin, a maturing region that offers opportunities to reduce costs and increase profitability.
- The acquisition of Marathon will add highly complementary acreage to ConocoPhillips’ existing U.S. onshore portfolio. Spread as of 4 June is 2.6%/4.7% (gross/annualised, assuming settlement by late Q4).
