Channel Therapeutics Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CHRO#NASDAQ">CHRO</a>) shares surged on Friday following the announcement of a reverse stock split designed to support its upcoming corporate transformation and meet <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/06/g46138428/channel-therapeutics-announces-reverse-common-stock-split-in-conjunction-with-the-close-of-the-mer" rel="noreferrer noopener">exchange listing requirements</a>.
The clinical-stage biotech company, focused on developing non-opioid treatments for pain, revealed a 10-for-1 reverse stock split of its common shares.
The move aims to boost the per-share trading price and align with NYSE American listing standards ahead of a proposed merger with LNHC, Inc. and an associated $50 million capital infusion led by Murchinson.

The reverse stock split will become effective on July 1, 2025, before the market opens. Trading of the adjusted shares is set to begin the following day, July 2, under the new name Pelthos Therapeutics Inc.
While the company&#8217;s ticker symbol will initially remain &#8220;CHRO,&#8221; it will change to &#8220;PTHS&#8221; upon the closing of the merger.
As a result of the split, shareholders will receive one new share for every 10 currently held, reducing outstanding shares from about 6.5 million to approximately 648,500. Importantly, ownership percentages for shareholders will not be affected, and fractional shares will be rounded up.
Stockholders with book-entry holdings or those using brokers do not need to take any action.
The company&#8217;s transfer agent, Nevada Agency and Transfer Company (NATCO), will provide details about the changes in share ownership following the split.
Price Action: CHRO shares are trading higher by 2.56% to $1.200&nbsp;at last check Friday.

Most 11-year-olds are worried about math homework. Mallory Marshall was asking <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/financial-advisors/25/06/46067598/bill-gates-kids-were-stunned-to-find-warren-buffett-chowing-down-on-oreos-for-breakfast-after-a-sleepover-naturally-they-demanded-some-too">Warren Buffett</a> how to build wealth. And Buffett—never one to miss an opportunity for both wisdom and a one-liner—delivered.
At the 2001 Berkshire Hathaway meeting, Mallory stepped up to the mic and opened with a crowd-pleaser:
"First, my dad would like to know if you have any grandsons my age."
Buffett didn't hesitate:
"How many shares of stock do you have? And I'll tell you."
Don't Miss:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Peter Thiel turned $1,700 into $5 billion—now accredited investors are eyeing this software company with similar breakout potential.

</ul>
He added, "I've got a grandson fairly close to your age and he probably would go for a younger woman anyway… I will mention you to him."
But once the laughter faded, Mallory hit him with the real question:
"What investment advice do you have for young people of my generation?"
Buffett's answer wasn't about stock picks or complex finance. It was about having a head start—and knowing what to do with it.
"I was fortunate in that respect because my dad paid for my education. If he hadn't, I probably wouldn't have become educated if I had to pay for it myself… So I was able to save $10,000 by the time I was 21. And, you know, that was a huge, huge head start."

"It's much easier to save in those teenage years if you're lucky enough to be in a family where… your parents are taking care of your financial obligations. Every dollar then is, you know, worth making $10 or $20 later on."
"You have to have a little money to work with," he said. But what you do with it—that's the kicker.
His <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/02/43718032/warren-buffett-was-asked-how-a-regular-person-gets-rich-he-detailed-exactly-how-hed-make-30-billion-starting-over-with-only-10000">blueprint was simple</a>:
"Read financial publications. I'd be curious about how the businesses around the town of Kearney operated. Learn about who's got good businesses… and the businesses that went out of business and why."
"Everything is cumulative," Buffett added. "The stuff I learned when I was 20 is useful today… You're building a database in your mind that is going to pay off over time."
He even squeezed in a bit of practical advice for anyone with a wallet:
"There's nothing like getting a few dollars ahead. Stay away from credit cards."
Charlie Munger, ever the realist, chimed in with:
"Well, I'm glad to see somebody that has, so early, shown an interest in getting ahead. There's nothing wrong with getting ahead."

Then the two couldn't help circling back to the matchmaking suggestion.
"Actually, she may have the best idea about getting ahead by learning the name of my grandson," Buffett joked.
Munger added, "Before your feelings totally take over, you should <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/07/39963533/warren-buffett-says-the-most-important-decision-of-your-life-is-who-you-marry-his-biggest-mistak">look carefully at both parents</a> and all four grandparents."
And Buffett signed off with, "Write Charlie and let us know how it works out."
Now, of course, you can't control who your grandparents are. Buffett himself has famously called this the "ovarian lottery"—the idea that so much of your life's outcome is determined by the luck of birth. And he's not wrong. You don't get to pick your starting line.
But you do get to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/education/25/05/45607543/warren-buffett-you-can-make-a-fortune-but-your-life-is-a-disaster-if-you-overlook-this-one-thing">pick how you run the race</a>. You can build that mental database. You can read, ask questions, stash cash, and skip the credit cards.
And maybe — just maybe — ask about the grandkids.

Why It's Important: Nearly half of this year's list includes companies that are publicly traded or part of publicly traded companies. This means investors can get exposure to what Time considers some of the most influential companies in the world.
Some of the companies are newer to the public market, which could mean that the 50+ companies that are not yet public could be among IPOs to watch for in the second half of 2025 and beyond.
Some of the most recognizable private companies on this year's list include OpenAI, Polymarket, Anthropic, Anduril, Beast Industries and SpaceX.
When seeking companies that can drive revenue growth and gain customer and consumer adoption, the most influential lists can be a valuable starting point for investors.

The provider of cloud services wants to upgrade its systems as AI moves into the mainstream, demanding greater processing capacity and speed 
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Key Takeaways:</h4>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>The loss-making company has filed for an IPO to raise fresh funds to meet the anticipated growth in AI-related demand</li>
<li>It specializes in localized "edge" processing for faster response times, with revenues jumping 56% last year &nbsp;&nbsp;</li>
<li></li>
</ul>
As AI technology takes off, more computing power will be needed to apply generative learning to practical tasks and new contexts. This process, known in the industry as inference, could drive exponential demand for cloud services.
Gearing up for a fight over processing bandwidth, a Chinese provider of cloud services has applied to list on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, with global ambitions to help empower the next phase of the AI revolution.
In its&nbsp;<a href="https://www1.hkexnews.hk/app/sehk/2025/107464/documents/sehk25062001135.pdf">prospectus</a>, PPLabs Technology Ltd.,&nbsp;the parent of cloud services provider PPIO, cited plans to upgrade its AI-related services and develop its overseas presence in distributed cloud computing. The company describes itself as as pioneer of cloud services in China for AI tasks, ranking second among independent providers for average daily use.
The daily consumption rate in May reached 141.9 billion tokens, the system used by the computing industry to measure and price its operations.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Second chances</h4>
Company founder Yao Xin is no stranger to the tech industry. As a graduate student at Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Yao founded China's earliest online video platform in 2005. PPLive Media, later rebranded as PPTV, made its debut a year before YouTube, raising $700 million in capital before being sold to retailer Suning in 2014. At that point Yao paused his entrepreneurial activities.
Returning with the launch of PPIO in 2018, he focused the new business on an aspect of cloud computing that was not yet dominated by tech giants. The company set out to specialize in distributed edge computing, which aims to process data close to where it is generated.
The moves reflect shifting dynamics in cloud computing with the transformative advent of artificial intelligence. The costs of rolling out extrapolative AI systems and the challenge of allocating computing resources to them are causing bottlenecks. A capacity battle is brewing over the responsiveness to AI requests, in which edge computing can offer a proximity advantage.
Take the example of a Beijing user interacting with an AI assistant. If the task is handled at a U.S. data center, response delays are hard to avoid, even with optimized network transmission. However, a request routed via a node in Beijing or Hebei could be processed more like a real-time experience, which is particularly critical for voice, video, or gaming applications.
According to China Insights Consultancy, the edge cloud computing market in China is set to reach 37 billion yuan ($5.16 billion) in revenue by 2029, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 22.9% from 2024 to 2029. The global market was projected to achieve a CAGR of 68.5% over the same period, reaching 427.7 billion yuan in 2029.
Companies offering edge cloud services could become vital links in the AI industry chain, connecting infrastructure providers such as telecom operators with suppliers of processing hardware while packaging and distributing computing power along the way, and supporting AI developers.
PPIO has built a distributed computing network covering more than 1,200 cities and 4,000 nodes worldwide through its own infrastructure and partnerships.&nbsp; Using a scheduling platform developed in house, the network enables AI tasks to be automatically routed to the nearest available resource.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">An Airbnb model?</h4>
The business monetizes the market in three ways. Firstly, computing power resources are provided to developers on demand, with billing based on duration or the tokens consumed. This income stream accounts for around 70% of revenue. In edge node services, idle hardware from enterprises or developers is co-opted into the node network, generating revenue through shared computing power. The company also offers customized AI applications, including services for small-model reasoning and systems to distribute content to nearby networks.
With its business still in the expansionary phase, PPIO has yet to break even. Still, it compares favorably to some cloud service startups, with relatively contained losses and a gross profit margin above 10%.
Figures in the IPO filing show that its turnover and losses have both been rising. The company logged revenues of 286 million yuan in 2022, increasing to 358 million yuan a year later and jumping nearly 56% in 2024 to 558 million yuan, a CAGR over the period of nearly 40%. Gross profit margins were 16.1%, 17.7% and 12.3%, while losses amounted to 85 million yuan, 189.4 million yuan and 293.5 million yuan, totaling around 568 million yuan for the three-year period.
The way PPIO aggregates idle processing resources and uses multi-node scheduling for AI tasks is similar to Airbnb approach of utilizing idle rooms. The PPIO model is suited for use with AI agents and for visual tasks or low-latency interactive scenarios.
However, distributed architectures also face challenges when it comes to regulation, standardization and service stability. Market competition is also intensifying, as major tech players step into the arena. Aside from direct rivals such as UCloud,&nbsp;Alibaba&nbsp;(BABA.US; 9988.HK),&nbsp;Baidu&nbsp;(BIDU.US; 9888.HK) &nbsp;and&nbsp;Kingsoft Cloud&nbsp;(3896.HK) are building up their own AI computing power and edge nodes. To maintain its position, PPIO would need to stay ahead of the game for platform experience, pricing and international reach.
To that end, PPIO does need external financing to keep expanding and to avoid a liquidity crunch, having around only 114 million yuan in cash on hand and a net debt of 696 million yuan.
The streaming service PPTV, which never went public, could be viewed as a missed opportunity for founder Yao. The cloud computing firm PPIO offers a second chance at stock market success, if the company can effectively plug into the surging demand for AI computing.

Major indexes are higher after President Trump said the US signed a deal with China, with China's Ministry of Commerce reportedly confirming a trade framework. Israel-Iran ceasefire efforts and stronger-than-expected consumer sentiment data may also be lifting market outlook.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved label updates for Bristol Myers Squibb &amp; Co.&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BMY#NYSE">BMY</a>) CAR T cell therapies, Breyanzi (lisocabtagene maraleucel; liso-cel) for large B cell lymphoma (LBCL) and other lymphomas and Abecma (idecabtagene vicleucel; ide-cel) <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/health-care" rel="noreferrer noopener">for multiple myeloma</a>.
In the first quarter of 2025, Bristol Myers Squibb reported Abecam sales of $103 million, up 26% year over year, and Breyanzi sales <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/25/04/44986472/bristol-myers-delivers-upbeat-2025-forecast-after-beating-q1-wall-street-expectations-says-guidance-includes-china-tariffs-impact" rel="noreferrer noopener">jumped 146% to $204 million</a>.
The company said in a statement on Thursday that these label updates reduce certain patient monitoring requirements and remove the Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS) programs that had been in place since each product <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/06/b46131412/u-s-food-and-drug-administration-approves-streamlined-patient-monitoring-requirements-and-removal-" rel="noreferrer noopener">was initially approved</a>.

The company says about 2 in 10 eligible patients receive it due to the confluence of complex logistical and geographic barriers affecting patients and providers.
The FDA has approved the reduction or removal of specific patient monitoring requirements for Breyanzi and Abecma across both labels.
These prolonged requirements burdened healthcare delivery systems and certain patients and their care partners, particularly those who live far from certified cell therapy treatment centers.
Driving restrictions post-treatment have been reduced from eight weeks to two weeks. The requirement to remain within proximity of a healthcare facility after infusion has also been shortened from four weeks to two weeks.
The FDA has also approved the removal of the REMS requirement from each product label. A REMS program is often required to help mitigate known or potential risks associated with new drugs or therapies.
The FDA has since determined that the established management guidelines and extensive experience of the medical hematology/oncology community are sufficient to diagnose and manage the risks of side effects, including cytokine release syndrome (CRS) and neurologic toxicities (NTs), without a REMS for the class of CD19- and BCMA-directed autologous CAR T cell therapies.
In April 2024, the FDA said it would now&nbsp;require boxed warnings, the highest safety-related caution for medications, for all chimeric antigen <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/04/38334543/fda-mandates-boxed-warning-for-bristol-myers-johnson-johnson-car-t-based-blood-cancer-therapies" rel="noreferrer noopener">receptor (CAR) T-cell therapies</a>.&nbsp;
According to the agency, these blood cancer treatments may pose a&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/01/36736043/focus-on-bristol-myers-gilead-sciences-johnson-johnson-novartis-fda-to-issue-classwide-black-box-" rel="noreferrer noopener">risk of secondary cancers</a>.
Price Action: BMY stock is trading higher by 0.40% to $46.84 last check Friday.
