FMC Corporation Granted Temporary Restraining Order Against Sharda US, Which Restrains Sharda From Importing, Marketing, Advertising, Selling Or Distributing Any Premix Products Containing Bifenthrin And Cyano-Pyrethroids That Are Covered By FMC's Patents

FMC Corporation (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/fmc#NYSE">FMC</a>) recently filed regulatory applications for the Dodhylex active herbicide in eight rice-growing countries. Registration dossiers were submitted in India, Brazil, the Philippines, the United States, Colombia, South Korea, Peru and Taiwan, accounting for roughly 35% of the estimated 165 million hectares of planted rice worldwide. Dodhylex active regulatory filings are planned for a number of other significant global markets.
The Herbicide Resistance Action Committee and the Weed Science Society of America have categorized Dodhylex active, FMC&#39;s brand name, as tetflupyrolimet, which is a Group 28 herbicide, thereby making it the first novel mode of action herbicide globally in more than three decades. Dodhylex active will be a significant new rotational tool for farmers to manage herbicide resistance, which is becoming an increasingly difficult concern for growers around the world.
Dodhylex active is a key improvement for the agriculture industry because it combats resistant grass weeds. According to studies, this proprietary molecule provides season-long control of resistant grass weeds in rice, irrespective of cultivation method. FMC is continuing to evaluate the application of Dodhylex active in other crops such as sugarcane, wheat, soybeans and corn.
FMC&#39;s innovation and methodical approach to develop novel molecules to facilitate food security for an expanding population and fight resistance are demonstrated by the discovery and development of Dodhylex active at the Stine Research Centre. Subject to regulatory decisions, FMC expects the first launches of Dodhylex in 2026.
Shares of FMC have lost 28.5% over the past year compared with its industry&#39;s 6.5% decline.

최근 일로, 테슬라(NASDAQ:<a class="items-end ticker-link-wrapper inline-flex" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/tsla" target="_blank" rel="dofollow noopener" aria-label="Go to Quote Page for TSLA">TSLA</a>)의 주식이 대폭 급락한 반면 S&amp;P 500 지수의 여섯 개 주식들은 급등했다.
어떤 일이 있었나 (What Happened): 테슬라 주식이 하락하면 S&amp;P 500 지수 6개 주식은 상승하는 경향이 있다고 CNBC Pro가 월요일 <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/04/23/when-tesla-shares-fall-these-6-stocks-tend-to-rise-according-to-recent-history.html">보도</a>했다. 이 중에는 린데(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LIN#NASDAQ">LIN</a>), FMC(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FMC#NYSE">FMC</a>), 이베이(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EBAY#NASDAQ">EBAY</a>), 처치 앤 드와이트(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CHD#NYSE">CHD</a>), 월마트(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WMT#NYSE">WMT</a>) 및 웰스 파고(Wells Fargo) (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WFC#NYSE">WFC</a>)가 포함되어 있다. 지난 한 달동안 이러한 주식들은 테슬라의 성과와 반대되는 상관관계를 보였다. 올해 테슬라 주식의 40% 하락과는 대조적으로 이 6개 주식은 일반적으로 상승했다.
도이체 방크의 분석가 엠마누엘 로스너(Emmanuel Rosner)는 테슬라가 새로운 저가형 차량에서 자율주행 기술로 초점을 전환함에 따라 테슬라의 어려운 상황이 지속될 수 있다고 예측한다. 로스너는 최근 테슬라 주식의 목표 가격을 189달러에서 123달러로 낮추었는데, 이는 내년에 약 15%의 하락 가능성을 나타낸다.
그러나 이 주식들의 테슬라와의 상반된 움직임이 인과 관계나 미래 수익, 가격 행동 패턴을 보장한다는 의미는 아니다. 처치 앤 드와이트는 지난 3월과 지난주에 테슬라와의 상반된 상관관계를 보인 유일한 주식이다.
왜 중요한가 (Why It Matters): 이러한 주가 성과의 변화는 테슬라의 최근 결정으로 인해 발생한다. 이 회사는 최근 미국 마케팅 팀을 해고했으며 최고경영자(CEO) 일론 머스크는 팀의 광고가 &#8216;너무 일반적&#8217;이라고 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/04/38370123/elon-musk-admits-tesla-ads-were-far-too-generic-after-laying-off-us-marketing-team-couldve-been-any">설명했다</a>. 이번 조치는 전사적 10% 정리해고의 일환이었다.
또한 테슬라는 완전 자율주행(FSD) 운전자 지원 소프트웨어의 가격을 대폭 인하했다. 1년도 채 되지 않아 머스크는 FSD의 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/04/38351810/tesla-fsd-is-now-nearly-50-cheaper-than-when-elon-musk-called-it-very-low-just-under-a-year-ago" target="_blank" rel="noopener">15,000</a>달러를 저렴한 가격으로 간주했다. 그러나 그 가격은 약 50% 인하됐다. 이러한 가격 인하는 회사가 자율주행 기술에 초점을 맞추는 요인이 될 수 있다.
