Novavax Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVAX#NASDAQ">NVAX</a>) has received limited approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for its COVID-19 vaccine, Nuvaxovid, marking a regulatory milestone and unlocking a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/05/n45489838/u-s-fda-approves-bla-for-novavaxs-covid-19-vaccine" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">$175 million milestone payment</a> from partner Sanofi SA (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SNY#NASDAQ">SNY</a>).
The protein-based vaccine, distinct from mRNA options by Pfizer Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PFE#NYSE">PFE</a>) and BioNTech SE (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BNTX#NASDAQ">BNTX</a>), is now authorized for people aged 65 and older and for individuals 12 and up with underlying medical conditions that increase the risk of severe COVID-19. 
The approval came after a six-week delay as regulators sought additional data.

Novavax CEO John C. Jacobs called the decision "a significant milestone" and emphasized the company's commitment to vulnerable populations. The CDC has noted that these groups will most likely seek seasonal COVID vaccinations.
The approval comes as CDC advisers weigh adjustments to annual COVID shot guidance, potentially narrowing recommendations to older adults and high-risk groups.
Novavax plans to begin commercial distribution of its 2025–2026 formula this fall, pending strain selection at the FDA advisory committee meeting on May 22. The company is also working with Sanofi to fund a Phase 4 study in adults 50–64 without high-risk conditions, as requested by the FDA.
Financially, Novavax reaffirmed its 2025 forecast for R&amp;D and SG&amp;A expenses between $475 million and $525 million. It plans to cut these to around $350 million in 2026 and $250 million by 2027, according to BZ Pro.

Novavax Scores Key FDA Win, Shares Jump 19% As Sanofi Unlocks Milestone Payment

President Donald Trump signed an executive order Monday directing the Food and Drug Administration to accelerate approvals for domestic pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities as his administration prepares to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44708204/trump-hints-at-major-tariff-on-imported-pharmaceuticals-us-pharma-stocks-tumble-in-wednesday-pre-market">announce new tariffs on imported medicines</a> within two weeks.
What Happened: The executive order aims to streamline the drug manufacturing approval process by eliminating unnecessary requirements and reducing the time needed to approve new U.S. production sites. 
According to the White House, building pharmaceutical manufacturing capacity currently takes &#8220;five to 10 years,&#8221; which it called &#8220;unacceptable from a national-security standpoint.&#8221;
&#8220;We don&#8217;t want to be buying our pharmaceuticals from other countries because if we&#8217;re in a war, we&#8217;re in a problem, we want to be able to make our own,&#8221; Trump said in a White House fact sheet.

Why It Matters: The executive order comes as U.S. pharmaceutical manufacturing has significantly declined over decades, with most active drug ingredients now produced in China and other countries. According to EY analysis, reported by Reuters, the U.S. imported $203 billion in pharmaceutical products in 2023, with 73% coming from Europe, primarily Ireland, Germany and Switzerland.
For investors, this points to broader <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/25/02/43982604/eli-lilly-doubles-capital-spending-on-us-drug-manufacturing-with-50-billion-target">shifts in the pharmaceutical secto</a>r, with companies such as Eli Lilly and Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LLY#NYSE">LLY</a>), Johnson &amp; Johnson (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JNJ#NYSE">JNJ</a>), and AbbVie Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ABBV#NYSE">ABBV</a>) already unveiling new domestic manufacturing plans in reaction to the looming tariff threats.
The pending tariffs could significantly impact <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/04/45029761/experts-warn-tariffs-could-negatively-impact-pretty-fragile-supply-of-generic-drugs">generic drug makers</a>, which provide 90% of U.S. prescriptions, possibly worsening existing shortages. There are already over 250 drug shortages nationwide, down from 323 in early 2024 but still concerning for healthcare stakeholders.
Mark Cuban, whose Cost Plus Drugs company sells medications at substantial discounts, warned the tariffs could force <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/04/44658207/mark-cuban-says-cost-plus-drugs-faces-price-hike-threat-tariffs-would-force-us-to-pass-costs-directly-to-consumers">price increases on many drugs</a>: &#8220;If we have a high tariff on drugs coming from India, we won&#8217;t have a choice but to pass those costs on to consumers.&#8221;

Trump Orders FDA To Fast-Track US Drug Production As Tariff Threat Looms On Imported Medicines: Cites National Security Concerns

Experts raise alarms about Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr&#8216;s decision to fire tens of thousands of federal workers, disrupting critical health data collection and research efforts.
What Happened:&nbsp;Kennedy&#8217;s sweeping layoffs have interrupted data collection on numerous health issues, ranging&nbsp;from cancer rates in firefighters&nbsp;to mother-to-baby transmission of HIV&nbsp;and syphilis. The cuts have also hindered research into future pandemics and the containment of current outbreaks, such as the worst measles outbreak in decades, as <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2025/04/13/abortions-cancer-in-firefighters-and-super-gonorrhea-rfk-jr-s-cuts-halt-data-collection-00284828">reported </a>by POLITICO on Sunday. 
Ursula Bauer, a former executive&nbsp;at the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) told Fortune, "The forced exodus of highly skilled, highly educated researchers, scientists and professionals from the federal government is really just extraordinary…It is going to take decades to rebuild."
The&nbsp;Department of Health and Human&nbsp;Services (HHS) has confirmed a workforce reduction of 20,000 to Fortune, a nearly 25% cut from 82,000 to 62,000. This involves leading experts and top professionals in their fields, resulting in an organizational gap with no clear replacement plan in place.
The cuts have temporarily blocked over $11 billion in Covid-era grants to state and county health departments, which were being used for broader public health efforts like disease tracking and addiction treatment, reported Fortune.
Jerome Adams, who was a surgeon general during Trump's first term told POLITICO, "Without robust data and surveillance systems, we cannot accurately assess whether we are truly making America healthier."

Why It Matters: These layoffs were not unexpected. In March, Kennedy <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44514142/rfk-jr-to-announce-10000-job-cuts-shut-regional-agencies-in-a-major-health-department-overhaul-report">was planning </a>a major overhaul of his department, including the elimination of 10,000 jobs and the closure of regional offices. The departments affected were those that handle disease outbreaks, approve new drugs, and offer insurance for the nation's poorest citizens.
Analysts have always expressed concerns over Kennedy&#8217;s appointment as U.S. Secretary&nbsp;of Health and Human Services, specifically <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43907155/nih-funding-cuts-to-spook-healthcare-stocks-rfk-jrs-confirmation-at-hhs-sparks-concerns-over-research-dollars-causing-uncertainty-says-analyst">regarding potential cuts </a>to&nbsp;the National Institutes of Health&nbsp;funding. They warned that such cuts could lead to increased "uncertainty" in the healthcare sector, potentially impacting healthcare stocks.
Experts agree that the U.S. healthcare systems need a major overhaul, but ending departments and layoffs may not be the solution. They now warn that these cuts could have long-term implications, driving people away from careers in science and drying up the pipeline of domestic and international talent. This comes at a time when China is striving to become a biomedical and biopharmaceutical superpower.

RFK Jr.'s Massive Federal Health Workforce Cut Could Take 'Decades To Rebuild,' Warn Experts: 'We Cannot Accurately Assess Whether We Are Truly Making America Healthier'

Robert F. Kennedy Jr.&#8216;s appointment as U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services has sparked concerns over funding for the National Institutes of Health. Analysts warn that potential cuts to this funding could lead to increased &#8220;uncertainty&#8221; in the healthcare sector, potentially impacting healthcare stocks.
What Happened: The NIH grants are &#8220;very important&#8221; sources of funding for a lot of labs out there, said Kyle Mikson, managing director and senior research analyst in <a href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/2414939/episodes/16662667">conversation</a> with Michael Graham, senior managing director and head of U.S. equity research internet analyst at Canaccord Genuity. 
Talking about RFK Jr.&#8217;s appointment Mikson said &#8220;He&#8217;s got some opposition to vaccines, to infectious disease research.&#8221; Highlighting the possible funding cuts along with caps on grants, Mikson added, "Things like that are causing uncertainty, causing, you know, stocks to decline."
Kennedy, known for his vaccine skepticism and conspiracy theories, has extended his influence globally, undermining health initiatives like vaccination and AIDS prevention, The New York Times <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/11/30/world/africa/rfk-jr-kennedy-international-work-public-health-policies.html">reports</a>. Through his nonprofit, Children's Health Defense, Kennedy has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/11/42254495/trumps-hhs-pick-rfk-jr-has-a-long-history-of-challenging-global-health-policies">disrupted public health efforts</a> in countries like Uganda and South Africa. He has also questioned the World Health Organization and its programs for fueling global health conspiracies.
The Donald Trump-led <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/health-care/25/01/43194764/trump-administration-halts-all-communications-from-the-centers-for-disease-control-as-bird-flu-spreads">administration</a> is trying to set caps at around 15% and 10% for some labs which is delayed due to broad opposition by many states. While this is detrimental to some NIH-funded labs, others have stated that they can function without indirect cost funding or support.
While, NIH awarded about $2.5 billion in grants in the first six weeks of 2024, this year, that number has plummeted to $1.4 billion.

Why It Matters: While there isn't going to be a blanket impact of these caps on all healthcare firms, Mikson explains that companies that are academically focused are more likely to be impacted as compared to the ones with a mixed revenue base.
However, when considering investment opportunities, especially for growth-oriented companies with research-driven businesses, the impact is particularly important, Mikson explained.
According to the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/02/43878703/institutional-investors-load-up-on-technology-and-financial-stocks-in-q4-while-reducing-positions-in-healthcare-sector-amid-political-uncertainty">13F SEC filings</a> during the fourth quarter, healthcare sectors experienced a sharp decline in investments, with allocations dropping by 1.4%. Adam Turnquist, the chief technical strategist at LPL Financial said that "The nomination of the so-called anti-vaccine Health Secretary, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., and the potential for reduced Affordable Care Act subsidies," was also a potential trigger.
Kennedy&#8217;s appointment comes as healthcare costs rise and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/health-care/25/02/43549057/deadly-bird-flu-strain-hits-dairy-cows-could-make-covid-seem-like-a-walk-in-the-park-expert-says">bird flu spreads</a>, raising pandemic concerns. A longtime vaccine skeptic, his stance could impact pharmaceutical companies like Pfizer Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PFE#NYSE">PFE</a>) and Moderna Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRNA#NASDAQ">MRNA</a>), especially as he has questioned the safety and efficacy of bird flu vaccines.
Here is a list of healthcare sector-linked exchange-traded funds, that investors could consider while trying to gain exposure to the sector.

NIH Funding Cuts To Spook Healthcare Stocks? RFK Jr's Confirmation At HHS Sparks Concerns Over Research Dollars, 'Causing Uncertainty,' Says Analyst

Trump Says He Wants To Bring Pharmaceuticals Back To America With Tariffs

Avadel Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVDL#NASDAQ">AVDL</a>) slipped by 25.63% in after-hours on Wednesday after it missed the fourth quarter sales estimate by 5.12%. Still, the sales of its narcolepsy drug, LUMRYZ rose by 150% on an annual basis.
What Happened: The preliminary earnings results for the fourth quarter pegged a 150% increase in net product revenue to $50 million, as compared to $19.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2023. This missed the consensus analyst estimate by 5.12%, which was <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/AVDL/earnings">expected </a>to be $52.7 million, according to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/AVDL/earnings">Benzinga</a>.
The biopharmaceutical company is focused on treating cataplexy, excessive daytime sleepiness, and other sleep disorders in adults and children above seven.
The company reported a full-year net product revenue of approximately $169 million compared to $28 million in 2023. Its cash flow from operations stood at approximately $73 million for the quarter ended Dec. 31, 2024.
Greg Divis, CEO of Avadel Pharmaceuticals, highlighted 2024 as a pivotal year, emphasizing the consistent patient adoption of LUMRYZ and the overwhelmingly positive feedback from both patients and providers regarding the life-changing benefits of its once-nightly dosing regimen.

Why It Matters: There was a 275% increase from 900 patients on LUMRYZ in 2023 to 2,500 in 2024. According to its press release, demand continued across all three patient segments in the fourth quarter, with 34% of patients being new to oxybates and 38% switching from first-generation oxybates.
The company expects the net product revenue for 2025 in the range of $240 million to $260 million, representing a 50% increase at the midpoint of guidance from 2024 and a positive cash flow of $20 million – $40 million.
Divis added that moving into 2025, the company is refining its strategy to increase LUMRYZ&#8217;s demand and aiming to drive uptake across all narcolepsy patient segments. &#8220;We&#8217;re well-positioned to lead in the sleep space and transform care for patients with sleep disorders.&#8221; he said.
Price Action: Avadel shares have fallen by 32.72% over the last six months, underperforming the Nasdaq Biotechnology Index, which fell by 5.07% in the same period. Furthermore, the exchange-traded fund tracking the index, iShares Biotechnology ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IBB#NASDAQ">IBB</a>) fell 2.9% over the last six months.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a> data, AVDL has a consensus price target of $20.9 per share, with a &#8216;buy&#8217; rating based on the ratings of 10 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/SERV/analyst-ratings">analysts</a>. The highest price target out of all the analysts tracked by Benzinga is $30 issued by Oppenheimer as of Oct. 31, 2024. The lowest target price is $11 per share issued by Jefferies on Nov. 30, 2024.
The average price target between HC Wainwright &amp; Co., Needham, and Needham implies an 189.31% upside for AVDL.

Stocks Stall As Chip Sector Struggles To Rebound; Dollar Eyes 7-Week Peak, Gold, Bitcoin Retreat: What's Driving Markets Friday?

As April comes to a close, it&#8217;s time to compile the rankings for the top-performing sector and industry exchange-traded <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">funds of the month.</a>
Taking a broader look at the stock market, the S&amp;P 500 Index, represented by the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>), finished April on a downturn, declining by approximately 3%. This marks the end of a five-month streak of gains.
Similarly, the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100, tracked by the Invesco QQQ Trust (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>), experienced a 3.5% decline.
Among large-cap indices, blue-chip stocks showed slight underperformance, with the SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIA#NYSE">DIA</a>) slipping by 4.5%.
Small-cap stocks, represented by the iShares Russell 2000 ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IWM#NYSE">IWM</a>), plummeted by over 6%, marking their worst performance since October 2023.
Overall, it has been a challenging month for the stock market, primarily due to inflation surprises surpassing expectations. This has led to a recalibration of market expectations regarding potential Federal Reserve rate cuts.
Additionally, complex global geopolitical tensions have emerged, notably between Israel and Iran, alongside the ongoing issue in the Gaza Strip.
May is anticipated to start with a crucial event as investors await the Federal Reserve Open Market Committee <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/macro-notification/24/04/38526201/is-hawkish-shift-on-inflation-imminent-wall-street-analysts-traders-brace-for-fed-impa">(FOMC) meeting on Wednesday. </a>
While no interest rate changes are expected, all eyes will be on Fed Chair Jerome Powell&#8216;s remarks to assess the Fed&#8217;s stance in response to recent inflation surprises.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Performance Of Sector ETFs In April 2024</h2>
At the sector level, only the utilities sector managed to avoid losses for the month, rising by 2.1%.
The largest stock contributors to the utilities&#8217; performance in April are NextEra Energy, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NEE#NYSE">NEE</a>), The Southern Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SO#NYSE">SO</a>), Dominion Energy, Inc.

Energy stocks remained broadly stable, while the other nine S&amp;P 500&#8217;s sectors showcased losses.
Real estate experienced the worst performance, down by over 7%, dragged down by its high sensitivity to interest rates, as Treasury yields increase across the board during the month. 
Following real estate, the technology and healthcare sectors also showed poor performance in April.

April Showers On Wall Street:  Miners, Utilities Emerge As Bright Spots In Gloomy Market

Markets are primed for a revival in mergers and acquisitions (M&amp;A) in 2024 following the worst performance in almost a decade for deal-making in 2023.
Equity and M&amp;A experts believe that, after a year beset by volatile markets and rising interest rates, 2024 offers improving conditions for takeover deals and corporate mergers.
&#8220;Capital markets were not as open or freewheeling, and 2023 did not happen the way we thought it would," said Tom Miles, Head of Americas M&amp;A at Morgan Stanley. 
&#8220;The market forces are in place that make an eventual return inevitable. It's not a question of if&nbsp;but when.&#8221;
One piece of the M&amp;A jigsaw that was largely missing last year was private equity (PE) firms. These players use leveraged buyout methods to take poorly performing publicly traded companies private. The goal is to exit via an IPO or sell off the assets at a profit.
Pitchbook analyst Tim Clarke noted how higher interest rates made it more costly for PE firms to engage in deals.
&#8220;PE's share of M&amp;A has no doubt been constrained by reduced access to leverage,&#8221; he said. During 2023, PE involvement was the lowest total recorded going back to 2005.
Overall volumes of M&amp;A dropped to $2.4 trillion in 2023, down from $3.1 trillion in 2022 and $5.2 trillion at its 2021 peak.
But analysts at Morgan Stanley expect both corporate and PE deal-making to be stronger in 2024 after the fourth-quarter rally on equity markets in 2023.
&#8220;Corporate balance sheets are strong, financing markets are improving and CEO confidence, which is closely correlated with M&amp;A activity, is climbing,&#8221; said Miles.
Which sectors, then, can investors expect to lead this increase in M&amp;A activity. There&#8217;s agreement here on three sectors that appear ripe for takeovers to flourish in 2024.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Technology — Artificial Intelligence (AI)</h2>
Throughout the latter half of 2023, it has become clear that AI will be a major market theme in 2024 and beyond. The burgeoning technology is being identified through growing numbers of potential use cases as the most important technological advance in a generation.
Additionally, there is no shortage of start-up companies being pursued for partnerships with the Mega Techs. Could this be the year that sees Microsoft (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) make an offer for OpenAI, with which it already has a major investment and development partnership.
It&#8217;s unlikely, given the regulatory scrutiny the partnership has come under in Europe and the UK, and Microsoft has stated that it isn&#8217;t seeking ownership of OpenAI.
But investors can gain exposure to potential game-changing deals through the many exchange traded funds that track the technology sector.
The iShares U.S. Technology ETF&#8216;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IYW#NYSE">IYW</a>) main three holdings are Microsoft, Apple (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) and Nvidia (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), while the Global X Robotics &amp; Artificial Intelligence ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BOTZ#NYSE">BOTZ</a>) follows key listed AI and robotics firms.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Healthcare — Biotech</h2>
Pharmaceuticals stocks had a mixed 2023, and it was those companies cashing in on the success of diabetes/weight-loss drugs that enjoyed the significant gains.
That left many large drugmakers at a disadvantage, and they could be looking to set this straight in 2024 with deals to acquire biotech firms already in development and testing stages of the next potential blockbuster treatments.
&#8220;It's a very big industry, and because biotech is so research-intensive, consolidation may need to happen,&#8221; said John Collins, head of global M&amp;A at Morgan Stanley.
There are several companies in the sector that analysts and market commentators see as potential takeover targets. 
Krystal Biotech (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KRYS#NASDAQ">KRYS</a>) is a potential target, with a pipeline of approved and developmental gene therapies as the prize.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="750" height="650" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/29083933/newplot-49.png" alt="" class="wp-image-196908" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/29083933/newplot-49.png 750w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/29083933/newplot-49-300x260.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px" /></figure>
Ventyx Biosciences (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VTYX#NASDAQ">VTYX</a>) could also be taken out. Its near penny stock status and small $120 million market cap are attractive, and its founder has sold a previous enterprise. As yet, however, the company has nothing in its pipeline beyond phase two trials.
The iShares Biotechnology ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IBB#NYSE">IBB</a>) holds Vertex Pharma (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VRTX#NASDAQ">VRTX</a>) and Regeneron Pharma (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/REGN#NASDAQ">REGN</a>) as its top two holdings, but their $100 billion-plus market caps make them more likely to be acquirers than targets.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Energy — Return Of The Mega Deals?</h2>
In the last half of 2024, the markets watched COP28&#8217;s dedication to energy transition. And yet, ExxonMobil (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XOM#NYSE">XOM</a>) bought Pioneer Natural Resources (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PXD#NYSE">PXD</a>) for $60 billion, and Chevron (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CVX#NYSE">CVX</a>) bought Hess Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HES#NYSE">HES</a>) for $53 billion.
&#8220;While COP 28 resulted in the &#8216;UAE Consensus&#8217; to transition away from fossil fuels, there should, nevertheless, continue to be, consolidation in the oil and gas sector in 2024,&#8221; said Sarah Jones, global head of corporate at Clifford Chance.
Again, many of the companies held by energy sector ETFs are likely to be those on the acquisition trail. The top three holdings in the Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLE#NYSE">XLE</a>) are Exxon, Chevron and ConocoPhillips (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COP#NYSE">COP</a>).
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Small Caps </h2>
Any increase in M&amp;A activity could be felt most keenly within the smaller listed companies. They can perform relatively cheap mergers without loading up on finance — or agree to all-share deals that circumvent the need for financing. 
Also, larger companies often pursue non-organic growth strategies by making smaller, bolt-on acquisitions, rather than going for large deals.
Thus, this year could see a bounce for the Russell 2000 index of small-cap companies, tracked by the iShares Russell 2000 ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IWM#NYSE">IWM</a>).

AI, Biotech, Energy Sectors Expect M&A Revival For 2024

Live On CNBC, Jason Snipe's Contrarian Idea: Biotech; Names IShares Biotechnology ETF

The early 2024 sell-off is intensifying on Wall Street, with all major stock averages in the red on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets">the second trading day of 2024</a>. 
The tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 plunged by 1% at noon in New York, extending its two-day slump to 2.6%. Wednesday&#8217;s declines spare no mercy for the blue-chip stocks of the Dow Jones, which managed to avoid losses on Tuesday, causing value-related stocks<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/01/36471715/tech-sell-off-triggers-market-reset-value-stocks-reach-7-month-high-versus-growth"> to fall as well. </a>
The S&amp;P 500 index is at risk of closing its third consecutive day in the red, marking the worst streak since late October.
Small-cap stocks, the stars of the late 2023 rally, are underperforming, with the iShares Russell 2000 ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IWM#NYSE">IWM</a>) plummeting by 1.6%. The CBOE Volatility Index or VIX, popularly known as the market fear gauge, is up 6.5% for the day. 
Richmond Federal Reserve President Tom Barkin cautioned the markets not to be overly confident about a soft landing for the U.S. economy, while also not ruling <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/01/36472187/soft-landing-dont-bet-on-it-just-yet-feds-barkin-indicates-further-rate-hikes-possible">out additional rate hikes.</a>
Economic data is broadly aligned with expectations, as the ISM manufacturing PMI came in at 47.4 in December, slightly higher than the expected 47.1, and job openings totaled 8.79 million in November, compared to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/01/36472955/us-manufacturing-takes-a-hit-longest-downturn-since-early-2000s-yet-exceeds-decem">the anticipated 8.85 million.</a>
The U.S. dollar index rallied by 1.3%, marking its strongest daily performance since early March 2023, while Treasury yields remain mostly unchanged.
Explosions in Iran that resulted in the deaths of over 100 people at a memorial — and reports of protests disrupting output at Libya&#8217;s 300,000-barrel-a-day Sharara oilfield — have fueled an oil rally, with WTI rising by 2.5%.
Precious metals have taken a hit, with gold down by 1.3% and silver down by 3%. Cryptocurrencies have also experienced significant losses, with Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) falling by 5%, amid reports of a delay in the SEC&#8217;s approval of Bitcoin ETFs.

US Stocks Eye 3-Day Slump; Tech, Crypto Sell-Off Deepens, Oil, Dollar Rebound: What's Driving Markets Wednesday?

Wall Street kicked off 2024 on a weaker note, with the S&amp;P 500 dipping by 0.5%, and the Nasdaq 100 experiencing a 1.4% decline in midday<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets"> trading in New York</a>.
The tech sector played a notable role in dragging down the broader stock market performance. Interestingly, blue-chip and small-cap stocks managed to dodge substantial losses, showing marginal gains. Among the prominent &#8220;Magnificent Seven&#8221; stocks, six were in the red, with Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) being the sole exception, maintaining a flat performance for the day.
Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) took a notable hit, tumbling by 3%, marking its most challenging session since early September, following a downgrade from Barclays. NVIDIA Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) and other semiconductor stocks, tracked by the iShares Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXX#NASDAQ">SOXX</a>), also experienced a significant drop of 2.8% for the day. 
This decline was triggered by a White House request to ASML Holdings N.V., Europe&#8217;s chip giant, to halt some product exports to China, just weeks before the planned restriction
The U.S. dollar displayed a robust surge, while Treasury yields moved higher by about seven basis points across the yield curve.
In the commodities market, oil had a volatile day, initially rising by as much as 3% before giving up those gains. Gold, on the other hand, remained steady, while silver saw a slight 0.4% dip. Furthermore, Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) crossed the 45,000 mark, driven by growing optimism regarding the potential approval of a Bitcoin ETF by Jan. 10.

Arrowhead Pharmaceuticals Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARWR#NASDAQ">ARWR</a>) retains Piper Sandler&#8217;s favor, with an overweight rating reaffirmed by analysts. The company&#8217;s focus on phase 3 trials for plozasiran, targeting familial chylomicronemia syndrome and severe hypertriglyceridemia, has garnered attention. 
Additionally, cardiovascular outcome trials for plozasiran or zodasiran could further solidify their impact. GlobalData projects sales of these therapies to reach $651 million and $399 million by 2030 and 2029, respectively. Despite a year-to-date share price decline of nearly 20%, Piper Sandler anticipates a 90% increase over the next 12 months.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Legend Biotech: Carvykti&#8217;s Rise to Prominence</h2>
Legend Biotech Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LEGN#NASDAQ">LEGN</a>) emerges as another top pick, buoyed by its Carvykti drug for adult bone marrow cancer treatment. Piper Sandler describes it as &#8220;best in class,&#8221; with demand surpassing supply. 
Predicting a substantial revenue surge from $506 million in 2023 to $1.05 billion in 2024, the investment bank foresees global supply reaching 10,000 doses annually by 2025, potentially pushing peak revenue beyond $5 billion. 
Legend Biotech&#8217;s robust CAR-T Cell therapy pipeline and recent collaboration with Novartis contribute to Piper Sandler&#8217;s bullish outlook, expecting a 53.3% increase in shares over the next year.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Alnylam Pharmaceuticals: A Focus on Neurological Disorders</h2>
Alnylam Pharmaceuticals Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ALNY#NASDAQ">ALNY</a>) completes Piper Sandler&#8217;s top picks, with emphasis on its phase 3 trials for Amvuttra, a drug targeting polyneuropathy. Forecasts predict a sales jump from $550 million in 2023 to $1.13 billion in 2025. Alnylam&#8217;s commitment to addressing severe hypertension and Alzheimer&#8217;s disease through ongoing trials further adds to its appeal. 
Despite a year-to-date share price dip of nearly 16%, Piper Sandler sees a 10.3% potential upside over the next 12 months, projecting a share price of $217.
With the biotech sector showing signs of recovery and potential benefits from expected U.S. Federal Reserve interest rate cuts in the upcoming year, these selections offer attractive prospects for investors looking for growth possibilities in 2024.

4월이 끝나가면서 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs" target="_blank" rel="noopener">이번 달</a>의 최고 성과 부문 및 업계 상장지수펀드(ETF) 순위를 집계할 때가 되었다.
주식 시장을 더 폭넓게 살펴보면 SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>)로 대표되는 S&amp;P 500 지수는 약 3% 하락하며 4월을 하락세로 마감했다. 이로써 5개월 연속 상승세가 끝났다.
마찬가지로, Invesco QQQ Trust(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>)가 추적하는 기술주 중심의 나스닥 100 지수는 3.5% 하락했다.
대형주 지수 중에서 우량주는 SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIA#NYSE">DIA</a>)가 4.5% 하락하는 등 저조한 성과를 보였다.
iShares Russell 2000 ETF(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IWM#NYSE">IWM</a>)로 대표되는 소형주는 6% 이상 급락하여 2023년 10월 이후 최악의 실적을 기록했다.
전반적으로 이번 달은 예상을 뛰어넘는 인플레이션으로 인해 주식시장에 어려운 달이었다. 이로 인해 연방준비제도(연준)의 금리 인하 가능성에 대한 시장 기대가 재조정되었다.
또한 현재 진행 중인 가자지구 문제와 함께 특히 이스라엘과 이란 간의 복잡한 글로벌 지정학적 긴장이 대두되고 있다.
5월은 투자자들이 수요일 연준의 공개시장위원회(FOMC) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/macro-notification/24/04/38526201/is-hawkish-shift-on-inflation-imminent-wall-street-analysts-traders-brace-for-fed-impa">회의</a>를 기다리면서 중요한 행사로 시작될 것으로 예상된다.
금리 변동은 없을 것으로 예상되지만 최근 인플레이션에 대한 대응으로 연준의 입장을 평가하기 위한 제롬 파월 연준 의장의 발언에 모든 ​​관심이 쏠릴 것이다.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">2024년 4월 섹터 ETF의 성과</h2>
섹터수준에서는 유틸리티 섹터만 이번 달 손실을 피해 2.1% 상승했다.
4월에 유틸리티 섹터의 가장 큰 주식 공헌자는 넥스트에라 에너지(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NEE#NYSE">NEE</a>), 서던 컴퍼니(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SO#NYSE">SO</a>), 도미니언 에너지(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/D#NYSE">D</a>) 및 NRG 에너지 (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NRG#NYSE">NRG</a>)로 4%에서 8% 사이의 월간 상승을 보여주었다.
에너지 주식들은 전반적으로 안정적이었으며, S&amp;P 500의 다른 9개의 섹터들은 모두 손실을 보여주었다.
부동산은 한 달 동안 국채 수익률이 전반적으로 상승함에 따라 금리에 대한 높은 민감도로 인해 7% 이상 하락하는 최악의 실적을 기록했다.
부동산 다음으로, 기술 및 헬스케어 섹터 역시 4월에는 좋지 않은 성과를 보였다.
