Avadel Pharmaceuticals plc (NASDAQ:<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVDL#NASDAQ">AVDL</a>), a biopharmaceutical company focused on transforming medicines to transform lives, today announced that the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (the "Federal Circuit") has ruled in favor of Avadel, overturning important parts of the injunction imposed by the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware (the "Delaware Court") regarding LUMRYZ&#x2122;&nbsp;as a potential treatment of indications beyond narcolepsy.
The Federal Circuit vacated the portion of the injunction that prohibited Avadel from applying for FDA approval of LUMRYZ for any indication beyond narcolepsy, calling the district court's analysis "simply too speculative and tenuous." Additionally, the Federal Circuit lifted the portions of the Delaware Court's injunction that prohibited Avadel from offering open-label extensions to trial participants using LUMRYZ and from initiating new clinical trials or studies with LUMRYZ for potential indications beyond narcolepsy.

Canada's PM Carney Says Some Things About USMCA Will Have To Change

Shares of EVgo Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EVGO#NASDAQ">EVGO</a>) surged 29.5% to $3.59 on Tuesday following the release of its first-quarter 2025 earnings.
What To Know: The electric vehicle charging network provider <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/05/b45217022/evgo-inc-reports-record-first-quarter-2025-results">reported</a> a net loss of 9 cents per share, in line with analyst expectations and unchanged from the prior year. Revenue climbed 36.5% year-over-year to $75.3 million, exceeding estimates of $71.2 million.
The company reaffirmed its full-year revenue guidance of $340–$380 million, aligning with Wall Street's $351.9 million forecast. CEO Badar Khan <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/05/b45217022/evgo-inc-reports-record-first-quarter-2025-results">highlighted</a> record revenues and strong infrastructure growth, adding that EVgo remains on track to achieve Adjusted EBITDA breakeven in 2025.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy EVGO Stock</h2>
By now you're likely curious about how to participate in the market for EVgo &#8211; be it to purchase shares, or even attempt to bet against the company.
Buying shares is typically done through a brokerage account. You can find a list of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-stock-trading-platforms">possible trading platforms here.</a> Many will allow you to buy &#8220;fractional shares,&#8221; which allows you to own portions of stock without buying an entire share.
In the case of EVgo, which is trading at $3.59 as of publishing time, $100 would buy you 27.86 shares of stock.
If you're looking to bet against a company, the process is more complex. You'll need access to an options trading platform, or a broker who will allow you to &#8220;go short&#8221; a share of stock by lending you the shares to sell. The process of shorting a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock">stock can be found at this resource.</a> Otherwise, if your broker allows you to trade options, you can either buy a put option, or sell a call option at a strike price above where shares are currently trading &#8211; either way it allows you to profit off of the share price decline.
According to data from&nbsp;<a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro</a>, EVGO has a 52-week high of $9.07 and a 52-week low of $1.73.

If you&#8217;re an ETF investor who&#8217;s been along for the Palantir Technologies Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>) hype ride, Tuesday was likely a derailment. 
Even after a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/05/45208000/palantir-q1-earnings-revenue-beat-eps-in-line-customer-count-up-39-company-raises-guidance-citing-surging-and-ferocious-growth">blowout Q1 earnings report</a> and a sparkling forecast, the stock plummeted more than 14% after hours and almost 12% on Tuesday morning, taking a few <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">PLTR-heavy ETFs</a> down with it. 
The culprit? A valuation that may be pushing even the most elastic of market imaginations.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">ETF Fallout: When One Stock Sneezes</h1>
Three ETFs with significant Palantir exposure found themselves nursing bruises after Tuesday&#8217;s swoon:
Roundhill PLTR WeeklyPay ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTW#BATS">PLTW</a>): Meant to surf Palantir&#8217;s waves, this thematic ETF dropped a painful 18% on Tuesday. 
First Trust US Equity Opportunities ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FPX#NYSE">FPX</a>): Down close to 3%, this ETF took the jolt, too. With Palantir as its top holding with a 10% weightage, even the wider growth exposure couldn&#8217;t soften the blow.
Global X Defense Tech ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SHLD#NYSE">SHLD</a>): Also off about 2.1%, even with Palantir included in a strong slate of defense tech plays. The ETF thesis is still intact — defense budgets are rising globally — but valuation concerns outweighed tailwinds, at least for the day.
Tejas Dessai, head of research at Global X ETFs, is bullish on the theme overall, saying that we are &#8220;in the early innings of a generational investment cycle in global defense.&#8221; 
With the U.S. committing $1 trillion annually to defense and geopolitical tensions not so much looking like fireworks, but rather like bonfires, the industry&#8217;s runway appears lengthy, he noted. Palantir is positioned alone in this environment. From battlefield logistics powered by AI to intelligence analysis, it&#8217;s at the nexus of Silicon Valley ingenuity and Pentagon-sized paychecks. That&#8217;s precisely the reason SHLD and its owners are hanging on, even though the ride&#8217;s got turbulence.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">The Paradox of Powerhouse Performance and Price Panic</h1>
Let&#8217;s get the scorecard straight: Palantir&#8217;s first quarter revenue of $883.86 million beat expectations, rising 39% year-over-year. U.S. commercial revenue surged 71%, customer base grew and the company now projects full-year revenues of as much as $3.90 billion — all while having $5.4 billion in the bank. Not bad for the alleged &#8220;Messi of AI,&#8221; as Wedbush&#8217;s Dan Ives called it.
Also Read: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45213810/palantir-stock-drops-925-after-earnings-beat-dan-ives-stays-bullish-but-jefferies-brent-thill-says-institutions-still-arent-interested">Palantir Is A &#8216;Retail-Driven Story,&#8217; Says Top Analyst As PLTR Stock Falls 9% In After-Hours: &#8216;Not A Single Institutional Investor&#8230;Talks About This&#8217;</a>
But the market wasn&#8217;t having it. Why? Perhaps because the stock is listed at a P/E (TTM) ratio above 560x — a figure that would make even the most optimistic tech bulls wince.
Even with Palantir&#8217;s assurances of positive GAAP operating income each quarter this year, worries that a lot of future growth is already priced in are casting long shadows. As Jefferies&#8217; Brent Thill said, solid fundamentals are one thing, but a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/05/45216263/pltr-stock-falls-9-19-in-premarket-trading-but-this-analyst-remains-bullish-predicts-1-trillion-valuation-in-3-years">65x multiple to revenue is another creature altogether</a>.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Valuation Sky High, but Sector&#8217;s Not Coming Down</h1>
Palantir&#8217;s fundamentals are good, its prospects are bright, and its contribution to AI and defense cannot be replicated — but the price is where the market throws up its hands. ETFs such as PLTW, FPX and SHLD, with their various degrees of Palantir exposure, provide a means to bet on the tale — just don&#8217;t anticipate them being resistant to sentiment shocks.

President Trump Says Announcement Over Next Few Days Not Necessarily On Trade

Canadian Prime Minister <a href="https://europeancapitalinsights.substack.com/p/canada-has-a-lot-to-lose-if-carney?r=3nmatg">Mark Carney</a> pledged to pivot Canada away from the US toward Europe. But his vow of distancing the world's <a href="https://www.eia.gov/todayinenergy/detail.php?id=64565#:~:text=In%202024%2C%20Canada%20was%20the,million%20b%2Fd%20in%202024." target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">fourth-biggest oil producer</a> from its largest trading partner will face considerable headwinds.
&#8220;The old relationship we had with the United States based on deepening integration of our economies and tight security and military corporations is over," Carney said after winning federal elections on April 28. Canada has a "critical need to diversify trade and strategic alliances," he said in a <a target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cgjlqwxevd0o">BBC interview</a> on May 4.
Despite Carney's tough talk, Canada has deep US trade ties that will be difficult to diversify. In 2024, 76% of Canadian merchandise exports went to the US, according to <a target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/pub/71-607-x/71-607-x2020001-eng.htm">Statistics Canada</a>. About 88% of Canada's energy exports and <a target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/daily-quotidien/250403/dq250403a-eng.htm">94% of motor vehicles</a> go to the US.
"Canada has limited options for reorienting its trade with the United States elsewhere," Edward Alden and Inu Manak, trade policy experts, <a target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.cfr.org/expert-brief/what-mark-carneys-election-win-means-trade-and-us-canada-relations">wrote</a> for the Council on Foreign Relations on April 29.
"But quitting the United States is not likely to be easy for Carney or for Canadians. The new Liberal prime minister will learn what Canadian diplomat John W. Holmes once observed in his book Life with Uncle: that Canada ‘can disagree with the United States but not reject it.'"

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Trump Rhetoric Spurs Canada's Disillusionment With US</h2>
Despite extensive business and cultural ties, Canadians have become disillusioned with the US political rhetoric from Trump. The 47th president has taken an unusually combative and threatening stance toward Ottawa during his campaign and after winning.
He has repeatedly suggested that the northern neighbor should become the 51st state, insisting that Canada is heavily reliant on the US.
&#8220;We subsidize Canada to the tune of $200 billion a year," he <a target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.axios.com/2025/05/04/canada-trump-carney-military?utm_campaign=editorial&amp;utm_source=twitter&amp;utm_medium=social">told</a> NBC&#8217;s Kristen Welker in an interview for Meet the Press. &#8220;Again, remember this, we don&#8217;t need their cars, we don&#8217;t need their lumber, we don&#8217;t need their energy. We don&#8217;t need anything."
<figure class="wp-block-image"><a href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F15bb7178-225c-4df8-91db-1ec030e1c511_851x351.png" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><img decoding="async" src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F15bb7178-225c-4df8-91db-1ec030e1c511_851x351.png" alt="" /></a><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Canadian Exports by Country, Source: Trading Economics</figcaption></figure>
Trump's remarks have stirred Canadian nationalist sentiment and strained trust with Washington. It ultimately changed the course of the country&#8217;s election, helping Carney's party defeat Pierre Poilievre, a lifelong conservative.
The Liberal Party won 169 seats, <a target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/livestory/recap-everything-that-unfolded-on-canadas-election-night-and-the-day-after-9.6738893">shy of the 172 needed</a> for a majority in the 343-seat House of Commons. Voter turnout stood at 68.65%, with more than 7 million Canadians voting in advance, a record, according to Elections Canada.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Carney Faces Difficult Economic Challenges</h2>
But Carney, who was the head of the Bank of England from 2013 to 2020, must address difficult domestic economic challenges. Canada has witnessed sustained capital flight and declining investor confidence.
"The pension plans in Canada and Canada&#8217;s sovereign wealth don&#8217;t invest in Canada anymore," O&#8217;Leary Funds Management Chairman and TV personality, Kevin O&#8217;Leary, said on X on April 29. "Canada&#8217;s not investable."
The Canadian dollar has strengthened against the US dollar year-to-date, gaining about 3.85%. However, it declined about 5% against the euro, 5.2% against the Japanese yen, and 2.3% against the British pound- all notable trading partners.
In addition, its economic performance in the past decade has lagged behind its OECD peers. Real GDP per capita has grown at a rate of 0.6% to 1% annually, placing Canada near the bottom of the developed world.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Canadian Manufacturing Lags Behind All Peers In G7 Group</h2>
The Group of 7 (G7) country has the smallest manufacturing base of the entire group, according to the National Bank of Canada (NBC).
"Unfortunately, Canada is a shadow of its former self when it comes to playing a key role in the G7 manufacturing chain," NBC said in a December <a target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.nbc.ca/content/dam/bnc/taux-analyses/analyse-eco/etude-speciale/special-report_241223.pdf">report</a>.

Instead of spurring private sector investment, Canada's economy has become increasingly dependent on government spending.
Current estimates suggest that about <a target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://thehub.ca/2024/11/02/since-the-pandemic-canadas-public-sector-employment-has-grown-nearly-four-times-more-than-private-sector-employment/">21% of Canadian jobs</a> are in the public sector. Government employment accounts for nearly half of all recent job growth.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Young Canadians Face High Unemployment, Housing Shortages</h2>
Youth unemployment has also remained persistently high in the G7 members. According to data from Trading Economics, it increased to 13.7% in March from 12.9% in February.
For young Canadians, affordable housing has become increasingly out of reach. In March, the national average home price was $678,331, down 2.9% from the previous year, but still out of reach for most young people.

Mass immigration has exacerbated the housing crisis and put pressure on public services.
Canada admitted a record 471,550 new permanent residents in 2023, according to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) <a target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/corporate/publications-manuals/annual-report-parliament-immigration-2024.html">data</a>.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Environmental Concerns Trump Energy Production</h2>
Unlike Trump's policy of pumping more oil, Canada has imposed strict environmental restrictions on major oil and gas projects.
During the federal election campaign, Carney said he had no intention of reversing Bill C-69. The law grants the federal government additional powers to review and potentially prohibit major infrastructure projects.
In response, the Government of Alberta has expressed concerns that the act overreaches into provincial authority. This has reignited separatist sentiment in the province, which exports <a target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.cer-rec.gc.ca/en/data-analysis/energy-markets/market-snapshots/2024/market-snapshot-almost-all-canadian-crude-oil-exports-went-to-the-united-states-in-2023.html">about 87%</a> of all Canadian oil production to the US.
"I've been watching the Alberta situation closely," O&#8217;Leary <a target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://x.com/kevinolearytv/status/1918663644390342811">wrote</a> on X on Saturday. "And let me tell you, it's heating up fast."
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Environmental Restrictions Raise Concerns About Succession</h2>
Alberta's Premier Danielle Smith has amended the legal criteria for a provincial plebiscite on separation. She lowered the threshold to 177,000 verified signatures and extended the collection period to 120 days.
The move has been framed as a constitutional safeguard to ensure Alberta's voice is heard in Ottawa. However, analysts say Alberta has escalated its province's standoff with Ottawa.
The policy shift sends a clear message: If Ottawa imposes policies like Bill C-69, Alberta appears willing to formally test the limits of federal unity.
"A minority government, a carbon tax out of the gate, and now the province that creates most of Canada's wealth is talking sovereignty," O'Leary wrote. "This is going to be a big story, and you heard it from me first."

President Trump Says China Wants To Negotiate And We Will Meet At The Right Time

President Donald Trump's announcement of new tariffs on April 2 sent shockwaves across global financial markets and continues to weigh on market sentiment. Economists are now warning of an increased risk of recession as nations respond with retaliatory duties against the US. JPMorgan Chase (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>) in April <a href="https://www.reuters.com/markets/jpmorgan-lifts-global-recession-odds-60-us-tariffs-stoke-fears-2025-04-04/">raised</a> its odds of recession to 60% from 40%, citing supply-chain shocks due to tariffs.
Tariffs and trade wars between major countries are now taking a real toll on businesses. An entrepreneur in early April <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/smallbusiness/comments/1jpzur5/do_you_import_what_do_you_plan_to_do_about_tariffs/">asked</a> small business owners on Reddit —particularly those importing products and raw materials— how they are navigating the impact of tariffs.&nbsp;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">‘Our Customers May Just Stop Buying'</h2>
The original poster said he's been selling pottery products imported from Poland for the last 20 years. He said European products are subject to tariffs of around 20%, and that puts his business in jeopardy. Asked if he could move production to the US, the Redditor said he's selling a traditional Polish folk art product that cannot be developed elsewhere.
"Our product is a want not a need, so we can raise the price but our customers may just stop buying," he added.
His post received over 250 comments, with many small business owners sharing the problems and concerns they are facing due to new tariff policies.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">‘Heading Towards a Major Economic Disaster'</h2>
A small business owner called Trump's tariffs a "disaster" as the core raw material for his business is subject to 25% to 46% duties. He said he's is unable to operate a domestic manufacturing plant for raw material in the US because Americans are "simply unwilling to do this job anymore." He said immigration-related restrictions are also causing difficulties for him to find the necessary workforce.
"The concept of trying to encourage domestic production by creating tariffs while also pursuing immigration policies that make finding a reliable labor force in the US impossible is just nonsensical," he added.
Another commenter said he will probably go out of business and is unable to do anything about it.&nbsp;
"We&#8217;re heading towards a major economic disaster. Not much I can do about any of it," he wrote.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Business ‘Untenable' After Tariffs</h2>
Another Redditor commented that he's closing his business due to the impact of tariffs and has stopped placing any new orders. Since his production operations are in China, tariffs have made his wholesale business "untenable" due to their impact on margins, he added.
"Not to mention unpredictable consumer behaviors and people holding their wallets closer and being less likely to purchase non-necessary goods," he wrote.&nbsp; "Buying into new inventory just seems like a liability for us at this point."

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Raising Prices</h2>
Some business owners said they are planning to pass on the impact of tariffs to customers with higher prices. One Redditor said he is making a plan to roll out new prices for his customers that would reflect the impact of tariffs. He also believes the US lacks the necessary infrastructure and labor to develop the products he imports.
"The companies that do perform those processes in the US are running 2 year backlogs and only support the multi-billion dollar OEMs anyways," he said.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Producing Outside of China</h2>
A Redditor who runs a commercial trucks parts business said he's preparing a strategy to deal with the impact of tariffs on his incoming shipments from China. He invested to source more inventory before tariffs went into effect and was also considering India as an alternative for manufacturing because he has a production facility in the country:&nbsp;
"We have our India factory, which got hit with 26% today. That&#8217;s better than now 67% on China plus an additional 25% due to auto parts category," he said.
