On Monday, Illumina, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ILMN#NASDAQ">ILMN</a>) agreed to acquire Standard BioTools&#8217; (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LAB#NASDAQ">LAB</a>) subsidiary, SomaLogic.
Following the announcement of the acquisition, Standard BioTools&#8217; stock experienced a significant surge.
The deal consideration includes $350 million in cash payable at closing plus up to $75 million in near-term performance-based milestones and&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/06/n46048517/illumina-to-acquire-somalogic-accelerating-its-proteomics-business-and-advancing-the-companys-mult" rel="noreferrer noopener">performance-based royalties</a>.

&#8220;The acquisition of SomaLogic will enhance Illumina&#8217;s presence in the expanding proteomics market and advance the multiomics strategy we announced in 2024. This will strengthen the value of the NovaSeq X product today and unlock greater capabilities in the future,&#8221; said Jacob Thaysen, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/health-care" rel="noreferrer noopener">CEO of Illumina</a>.
&#8220;Illumina and SomaLogic have partnered closely for more than three years, and this combination&nbsp;increases our ability to serve our customers and accelerate our technology roadmap towards advanced biomarker discovery and disease profiling,&#8221; Thaysen added.
The transaction builds on a co-development agreement Illumina established with SomaLogic in December 2021 to bring the SomaScan Proteomics Assay onto Illumina&#8217;s high-throughput next-generation sequencing (NGS) platforms.
Illumina Protein Prep is currently in use with nearly 40 early-access customers globally and will become available to all customers starting in the third quarter of 2025.
Combining SomaLogic&#8217;s proteomics technology with Illumina&#8217;s NGS ecosystem,&nbsp;DRAGEN software, and Illumina Connected Multiomics will accelerate the technology development roadmap for proteomics and reduce the time and cost of proteomic research.
SomaLogic has approximately 250 employees worldwide.
This transaction brings SomaLogic&#8217;s aptamer-based affinity proteomics platform into Illumina&#8217;s portfolio, enhancing Illumina&#8217;s presence in a high-growth area within the proteomics market.
The kitted NGS-based panels business will add a high-margin consumables revenue stream.
Illumina expects the business to become profitable in 2027 on a non-GAAP operating income basis and for non-GAAP operating margins to be in line with Illumina in 2028.
Illumina expects to close the transaction in the first half of 2026.
Price Action: LAB stock is up 33.8% at $1.41, and ILMN stock is up 0.09% at $90.57 at last check Monday.

SomaLogic Acquisition Worth $350 Million Marks Next Step In Illumina's Advanced Biomarker Push

Davis Commodities Limited (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DTCK#NASDAQ">DTCK</a>), a premier Singapore-based trader of agricultural commodities, has announced an ambitious expansion across Africa, Asia, and the Middle East, driven by surging global demand for sugar and rice. Supported by its recently secured USD 30 million capital raise, the company is set to accelerate growth by combining traditional commodity trading expertise with innovative digital finance strategies.
Global Sugar Demand Fuels Strategic Regional Opportunities
With sugar consumption outpacing production in key markets, Davis Commodities is uniquely positioned to capitalize on emerging supply-demand imbalances through direct export opportunities:
<ul>
<li>India: Sugar production is expected to decline 19% to 25.8 million metric tons in 2024/25, while domestic consumption climbs to 29 million metric tons, leaving a supply deficit of 3.2 million metric tons. This shortage, as reported by the All India Sugar Trade Association and TradelmeX, represents a significant export opportunity for Davis Commodities.</li>
<li>Pakistan: Domestic sugar prices have surged beyond Rs168/kg amid strong export demand from Bangladesh and Central Asia, according to the Pakistan Sugar Mills Association.</li>
<li>China: Sugar demand remains robust at 15.6 million metric tons despite a decline in local production, as highlighted in the latest report from the United States Department of Agriculture. &nbsp;</li>
</ul>
These regional imbalances present Davis Commodities with a clear pathway to increase trade volumes, expand market share, and drive margin growth.
Maximizing Growth with a USD 30M Dual Capital Deployment Strategy
Davis Commodities' recent USD 30 million fundraising will power two synergistic growth engines:
<ol>
<li>Core Commodity Trading Expansion
<ul>
<li>Scaling procurement volumes across sugar, rice, and edible oils.</li>
<li>Geographic expansion into high-demand regions.</li>
<li>Enhanced trade financing to support growing market opportunities.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Digital Finance Innovation
<ul>
<li>Deployment of Bitcoin reserves to improve treasury diversification.</li>
<li>Integration of Real-World Asset (RWA) tokenization to optimize asset liquidity and streamline working capital cycles. &nbsp;</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ol>
This dual approach enhances Davis Commodities' financial resilience, strengthens its balance sheet, and lays the foundation for sustainable, scalable growth.
Financial Projections: A Transformative Year Ahead (FY2026)
Davis Commodities is forecasting a significant financial uplift as a result of its strategic initiatives:
<ul>
<li>Sugar Revenue Growth: Trading volumes are projected to soar by 50%, contributing an additional USD 100 million in annual sugar-related revenue.</li>
<li>Profitability Gains: EBITDA from sugar operations is expected to grow by double digits, driving improved profit margins across the company.</li>
<li>Company-Wide Revenue: Total revenue is projected to exceed USD 300 million in FY2026, fueled by expanded commodity volumes, optimized logistics, and deeper penetration into emerging markets.</li>
</ul>

'Senators urge FTC to investigate Spotify's higher-priced bundled subscription'- TechCrunch

Long-time Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) bull and managing partner at the Future Fund LLC, Gary Black, is sounding the alarm on what he sees as an overlooked blind spot in Tesla's robotaxi narrative: a growing list of competitors.
What Happened: On Sunday, in a post on X, Black pushed back against a commonly held notion regarding Tesla&#8217;s much-touted robotaxi launch. Black does not believe that the EV giant is guaranteed a dominant position in the autonomous ride-hailing market.
While he acknowledged that Tesla's self-driving tech will &#8220;of course&#8221; work, citing CEO Elon Musk's confidence in the Austin robotaxi rollout, Black emphasized that the real debate isn't about capability. It's about valuation.
Black is referring to the company&#8217;s $1 trillion market cap, which rides on Tesla&#8217;s dominance in the ridesharing market, with its robotaxis leading the charge.
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/management/25/06/46044324/billionaire-charlie-munger-said-watching-your-kids-die-was-once-the-agony-of-poverty-now-the-poors-biggest-problem-is-theyre-too-fat">Billionaire Charlie Munger Said Watching Your Kids Die Was Once the &#8216;Agony of Poverty&#8217; — Now the Poor&#8217;s Biggest Problem Is &#8216;They&#8217;re Too Fat&#8217;</a>
He, however, believes that these valuations warrant a discount, now that there are several well-funded competitors in the fray, citing the example of Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>), Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), Baidu Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BIDU#NASDAQ">BIDU</a>), and even Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), among others.
&#8220;The question, which bulls painfully avoid, is when others master general unsupervised autonomy, what valuation will be attached to TSLA autonomy when it has to split the autonomous ride-hailing market with others?&#8221; he asks.
Black&#8217;s comments directly challenge Musk&#8217;s assertion of dominating this space with a &#8220;99% market share or something ridiculous,&#8221; which the former now questions with a simple &#8220;Really?&#8221;
He then drew parallels between the current bullish sentiment to that of 2021, when the company&#8217;s supporters predicted 20 million EVs produced annually by 2030, leading the stock to hit an all-time high, before falling 73% by early 2023.

Why It Matters: Tesla does, however, hold significant <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45966726/tesla-vehicle-production-cost-1-7-that-of-waymo-elon-musks-ev-giant-closer-to-full-autonomy-than-competition-report">advantages over competitors</a> in the autonomous ride-hailing segment, with recent reports by analysts stating that the company can produce its cars at one-seventh the cost of a Waymo, along with access to over 3 billion miles of data. 
Last week, Black himself <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/06/45993450/gary-black-calls-out-tesla-bears-for-slapping-auto-industry-valuation-technique-on-elon-musks-ev-business-stark-differences-in-growth-prospects">warned Tesla bears</a> and short-sellers against &#8220;slapping&#8221; traditional auto industry valuations on Tesla&#8217;s business.
&#8220;The biggest mistake $TSLA bears make is slapping an auto industry P/E on TSLA&#8217;s EV business,&#8221; said Black, noting that EVs, unlike internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles, are growing at 25% to 30% each year, while the latter remains &#8220;in a state of permanent decline.&#8221;
Price Action: Tesla shares were up 0.03% on Friday, trading at $322.16, and were up 0.17% after hours.

In the current session, Prudential Financial Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PRU#NYSE">PRU</a>) is trading at $104.01, after a 0.31% drop. Over the past month, the stock decreased by 0.51%, and in the past year, by 12.29%. With performance like this, long-term shareholders are more likely to start looking into the company's price-to-earnings ratio. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1750694489_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>How Does Prudential Financial P/E Compare to Other Companies?</h3>
The P/E ratio is used by long-term shareholders to assess the company's market performance against aggregate market data, historical earnings, and the industry at large. A lower P/E could indicate that shareholders do not expect the stock to perform better in the future or it could mean that the company is undervalued. 
Prudential Financial has a better P/E ratio of 16.46 than the aggregate P/E ratio of 14.99 of the Insurance industry. Ideally, one might believe that Prudential Financial Inc. might perform better in the future than it's industry group, but it's probable that the stock is overvalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1750694489_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In summary, while the price-to-earnings ratio is a valuable tool for investors to evaluate a company's market performance, it should be used with caution. A low P/E ratio can be an indication of undervaluation, but it can also suggest weak growth prospects or financial instability. Moreover, the P/E ratio is just one of many metrics that investors should consider when making investment decisions, and it should be evaluated alongside other financial ratios, industry trends, and qualitative factors. By taking a comprehensive approach to analyzing a company's financial health, investors can make well-informed decisions that are more likely to lead to successful outcomes.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

Looking Into Consolidated Edison's Recent Short Interest

Shares of Darden Restaurants Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DRI#NYSE">DRI</a>) tanked in early trading on Monday, after the company Monday reported <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/earnings/25/06/46027276/olive-garden-parent-darden-records-strong-q4-growth-hikes-dividend">its fiscal fourth-quarter results</a>.
The announcement came amid an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings">exciting earnings season</a>. Here are some key analyst takeaways.
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Stephens <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/6495598a08348c00019c0ae9/jim-salera">analyst Jim Salera</a> maintained an Equal-weight rating, while raising the price target from $200 to $212.</li>
<li>TD Cowen <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/58b05502b85e93000174c0ed/andrew-charles">analyst Andrew Charles</a> reiterated a Hold rating, while lifting the price target from $215 to $235.</li>
<li>Truist Securities <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/589dc33d43eaaa000122c591/jake-bartlett">analyst Jake Bartlett</a> reaffirmed a Buy rating and price target of $252.</li>
<li>Oppenheimer <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/590b5cc4290fa700017b6a59/christopher-glynn">analyst Brian Bittner</a> maintained an Outperform rating and price target of $250.</li>
</ul>
Check out <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings">other analyst stock ratings</a>.
Stephens: Darden reported better-than-expected results on "all major line items," like same-store sales, margins, and adjusted earnings. Same-store sales at Olive Garden and LongHorn were ahead of expectations, "partially offset by a slower-than-expected recovery in Fine Dining," Salera said in a note.
The company also closed 22 underperforming units during the quarter. 
Darden has "decent" visibility into the first half of fiscal 2026 with tougher comps in the second half, Salera added.
TD Cowen: Darden Restaurants indicated that the sales momentum during the fiscal fourth quarter had continued into June, Charles said. Margins and earnings growth are in-line with expectations, with the company reinvesting to sustain sales strength, he added.
"Following Olive Garden trending roughly in line with the industry over the last 4 quarters, we are encouraged by F4Q&#8217;s robust 390 bps of outperformance," the analyst wrote. Darden Restaurants is in no rush to list Olive Garden on Uber Technologies Inc's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UBER#NYSE">UBER</a>) Eats app, prioritizing to roll out Uber Direct to other brands in the portfolio, he further stated.
Truist Securities: Darden reported same-store sales of 4.6%, beating consensus of 3.6%, Bartlett said. Olive Garden's same-store sales came in at 6.9% while LongHorn's was 6.7% — better than consensus of 4.6% and 5.1%, respectively.
An industry-wide shift from limited service restaurants towards casual dining benefited the company in the fiscal fourth quarter, the analyst stated. Management's full-year same-store sales guidance of 2.0%-3.5% appears "potentially conservative," given the strong start to the first quarter, "the significant tailwind from delivery, continued momentum at LongHorn, and the casual dining segment tailwind from relative pricing," he further wrote.
Oppenheimer: Darden Restaurants guided to full-year earnings of $10.50-$10.70 per share, below Street expectations of $10.77 per share, Bittner said. This reflects 7%-8% sales growth, with 2%-3.5% same-store sales growth and the opening of 60-65 new units, he added.
Although sales momentum has continued into June, management's guidance reflects "toughening comparisons and macro uncertainty," the analyst wrote. The fiscal 2026 guidance is set up to be a "beat and raise" year, he further stated.
DRI Price Action: Shares of Darden Restaurants had declined by 5.39% to $213.62 at the time of publication on Monday.
