Bank of America upgraded Boeing Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) from &#8216;Neutral&#8217; to &#8216;Buy,&#8217; calling the jet maker a key beneficiary of President <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/donald-trump">Donald Trump&#8216;s trade talks</a>.
What Happened: "Boeing aircraft have emerged as the favored trade tool for the Trump Administration in recent trade deals," Bank of America analyst Ronald J. Epstein said in the note shared Monday.
"We suspect this will continue," he added.
Epstein also raised its price target to a Street-high $260 amid signs of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color">a long-awaited turnaround.</a>
The new price target implies a 25.4% upside from Boeing's last close at $207.32. 
Here are the latest developments that unfolded from Trump&#8217;s travels:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>IAG, owner of British Airways and other European carriers, announced a nearly $13 billion purchase for 32 new Boeing aircraft.</li>
<li>Qatar Airways intends to buy up to 210 Boeing aircraft after Trump visited the Arabian Peninsula and agreed to accept a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45338985/trump-reportedly-set-to-accept-flying-palace-from-qatar-white-house-says-lavish-gift-of-boeing-jumbo-jet-complies-with-all-applicable-laws" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Boeing 747</a> from Qatar as a gift.</li>
<li>Etihad Airways confirmed an order for 28 new Boeing long-haul aircraft during Trump&#8217;s visit to the United Arab Emirates.</li>
<li>And China <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44837703/chinas-ban-on-boeing-could-be-short-lived-but-trump-administration-cant-ignore-trade-fallout-warns-analyst">lifted its long-standing ba</a>n on Boeing jets, opening the door to more deliveries in a key growth market.</li>
</ul>
"These set a precedent for future global trade negotiations, to BA's benefit," Epstein said.
BofA doesn't see backlog alone driving valuation, but it highlights Boeing's new role as a trade facilitator. Combine that with operational improvements and asset sales, Epstein adds, it creates a "buying opportunity.&#8221; 
The F-47 Next Generation Air Dominance contract—awarded earlier this year—is also a win for Boeing's defense business. It secures a foothold in a decades-long fighter program and could help draw top engineering talent to the firm.
Why It Matters: Boeing is attempting to pull out of a crisis. A tough first quarter included a $2.9 billion accounting loss tied to high production costs. That translates to a loss of roughly $30 million per aircraft.
The company also remains under heightened scrutiny due to public concern over the safety of its aircraft. Various events, including mid-air malfunctions, engine fires, and two fatal 737 MAX plane crashes that claimed 346 lives, have significantly impacted its reputation.
Boeing also happens to have the backing of Trump&#8217;s Department of Justice, which recently moved to dismiss criminal <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/05/45689735/us-justice-department-seeks-to-dismiss-boeings-fraud-charges-on-737-max-crashes-that-killed-over-300">fraud charges against the company</a>.
Boeing claims to be restoring stability in its core 737 program.
Even so, Epstein said Boeing is on track to produce 38 jets per month by the fourth quarter. That's up from 25 in March and 33 in April. The company may even push to 42 jets per month by year-end if the Federal Aviation Administration lifts its current cap.
Epstein added that Boeing has reduced traveled work by 50% and continues to unwind excess inventory, especially 737-8 aircraft built for Chinese customers before 2023.
What&#8217;s Next: The analyst also expressed confidence in CEO Kelly Ortberg, appointed last August, calling him central to the company's restructuring. 
Ortberg helped negotiate an end to the 53-day IAM strike, launched portfolio realignments, and implemented new safety systems.
Under his leadership, Boeing is also shedding non-core assets—most notably, its planned $10.6 billion sale of Digital Aviation Solutions.
"Sisyphus [is] on the path to breaking the &#8216;doom loop&#8217;," Epstein said, using a Greek myth to describe Boeing's woes.
Looking ahead, BofA estimates earnings per share will jump from 35 cents this year to $6.40 by 2027. Free cash flow is forecast to swing from a $3.5 billion loss in 2025 to $5.5 billion in 2027. Further upside is tied to the 787 and MAX programs.
&#8220;A premium to the market fairly reflects the strong demand for commercial jets, impending production ramp, steady improving execution and the F-47 program,&#8221; Epstein said.

Goldman Sachs analyst Jordan Alliger upgraded Saia, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SAIA#NASDAQ">SAIA</a>)&nbsp;from Neutral to Buy and raised the price forecast <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/SAIA/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">from&nbsp;$387&nbsp;to&nbsp;$410</a>.
The analyst believes that the company can continue to gain market share and grow its tonnage at a faster pace than overall industry trends.
Alliger cites regional cross-selling opportunities with current and new customers and potentially increased penetration of national accounts by offering a wider service area through its recent network expansion as growth catalysts.
Further, increased Less-Than-Truckload (LTL) volume growth should lead to better capacity utilization, which in turn reduces cost per shipment and significantly accelerates margins, adds the analyst.
Meanwhile, the analyst notes that the company faces a challenge in achieving the necessary density to offset terminal expansion costs amid a freight recession.
This, combined with persistent weakness in legacy SAIA volumes due to soft LTL industry fundamentals, has recently resulted in margin underperformance, adds the analyst.
Alliger says that this situation could lead to additional quarterly EPS volatility until industry volumes improve, which would enhance network productivity and efficiency.
The analyst believes that this will put SAIA back on a path toward significant incremental margin opportunities and above-average long-term industry EPS growth rates despite possible near-term margin pressure.
Overall, Alliger thinks that it is feasible for SAIA to move into the low-80% operating ratio (OR) range and eventually below 80%, compared to an OR of over 90% prior to COVID-19 and in the first quarter of 2025.
Price Action: SAIA shares are down 1.5% at $260.22 at the last check on Monday.

What's Going On With Verastem Oncology Stock On Monday?

ARVN

ARVN stock has given up its prior loss. Arvinas shares were trading lower after Leerink Partners downgraded the stock from Outperform to Market Perform and cut its price target from $10 to $9.

When you request an AI model to create a social media post or generate a Picasso-inspired animal graphic, there's a small but quantifiable energy cost associated with it, accompanied by emissions released into the atmosphere. While each individual query typically consumes less energy than briefly using a deep fryer, the effect might seem negligible. However, as more people rely on AI tools, these cumulative impacts become increasingly significant. According to Morgan Stanley, power demand from generative AI will <a href="https://www.morganstanley.com/ideas/ai-energy-demand-infrastructure">increase at an annual average of 70%</a> through 2027, mostly from the growth of AI-dependent data centers.&nbsp;
AI's growing dependency on energy-intensive processes is not only reshaping infrastructure at an unprecedented scale but also challenging the global push toward sustainability. As AI systems become more pervasive, their energy consumption is accelerating, and with it, questions about the long-term implications for the environment, energy resources, and technology itself. From data centers to inference models, the power demands of AI are poised to grow exponentially in the coming years and experts are taking note.&nbsp;
Some of AI's best minds gathered in Cambridge, Massachusetts, May 5-7, 2025, at the <a href="https://event.technologyreview.com/emtech-ai-2025/home">EmTech AI Conference</a>, to discuss the sustainability implications of artificial intelligence. Editorial members of the esteemed <a href="https://www.technologyreview.com/">MIT Technology Review</a> publication explored the scope of AI's energy impact, where it's heading, and why it's imperative that decisions made today balance innovation with responsibility. Ultimately, these experts warn that we are at a critical juncture that will determine whether future AI innovations can coexist with global efforts to combat climate change.

MIT Technology Review from left to right: Will Douglas Heaven, Sr. Editor; James O'Donnell, AI Reporter; Mat Honan, Editor in Chief 
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Growing Energy Demands of AI</h2>
AI's energy usage comes from two primary operations: training models and inference tasks. Training complex AI models, such as large language models and image generation systems like ChatGPT, Gemini, Llama, and Claude, require massive computational power and energy resources. Training processes for advanced models can require weeks or even months of operating fleets of high-performance GPUs, processing vast datasets. The carbon costs of this process are significant, and they represent only part of the challenge.
Inference, the step in which AI models respond to user inputs or requests (e.g., generating text, answering search queries, or creating art), is set to consume an even greater share of energy in the near future. Unlike training, inference happens on-demand and at scale. Every interaction with an AI system, whether a personal assistant like ChatGPT or a visual design tool, requires computing resources, creating a cumulative energy burden as these interactions multiply.
"We're moving to this world where multiple AI models are answering billions of queries daily, and those inferences are already a massive and growing energy hog," explained Mat Honan, MIT Technology Review's editor in chief. "And if we want to keep up with the expected demand, we're going to need a lot more power than we currently have."
The magnitude of this shift cannot be understated: as AI tools become more integrated into consumer and enterprise systems, the energy used to power these tools will continue to grow, raising complex questions about how much power our infrastructure can handle and its implications for the environment. So, where will this power come from?
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Just How Much Energy Do We Need?</h2>
Establishing just how much energy will be required to meet future AI demands is tricky. Experts are merely speculating.&nbsp;
"I can't emphasize enough, we truly don't know anything about how much energy is used up when you ask a query or generate a video," MIT Technology Review AI Reporter, James O'Donnell said. "We make estimates about how much energy is used specifically in inferencing, and there's all sorts of ways that you can do that, but it's all very indirect."&nbsp;
And that's at the functional level, at the data center level it's still being figured out what energy sources are going to power this AI revolution.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Role of Data Centers: Feeding AI's Energy Hunger</h2>
Data centers serve as the backbone of AI systems. These sprawling facilities house the servers and processors that enable AI models to function. However, their scale, complexity, and energy consumption are raising alarms globally.&nbsp;
Take Nevada, for example, where tech giants like Google and Apple have built vast data centers in what is already one of America's driest states. These facilities consume massive amounts of energy to keep high-performance servers operating at optimum temperatures. Cooling technologies are vital in these desert locations, requiring significant water use and power to sustain the operations. Nearly half of the energy demands of a data center comes from the need to cool it.&nbsp;
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="509" src="https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/02140339/Apple-NV-1024x509.png" alt="" class="wp-image-13721" srcset="https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/02140339/Apple-NV-1024x509.png 1024w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/02140339/Apple-NV-300x149.png 300w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/02140339/Apple-NV-768x381.png 768w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/02140339/Apple-NV.png 1200w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
Apple solar data center, Nevada 
The problem isn't limited to Nevada. In Louisiana, Meta is constructing its largest-ever data center, a project geared to support its AI ambitions. However, this venture relies heavily on power from natural gas plants, undermining clean energy goals. Such developments reveal troubling contradictions: while companies acknowledge the importance of sustainability, they remain tied to energy sources that perpetuate dependence on fossil fuels. "Renewables, for the most part, lack the kind of consistency a data center requires," Honan pointed out.&nbsp;
A surge in AI-driven electricity demand also places additional pressure on power grids, inadvertently accelerating the buildout of natural gas-based energy facilities. This reliance on fossil fuels, driven in part by AI's electricity needs, presents a serious challenge to climate objectives, as industries struggle to scale renewable solutions quickly enough to meet demand.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Can Nuclear Power Solve AI's Energy Crisis?&nbsp;&nbsp;</h2>
To meet the mounting energy demand posed by AI, many are turning to nuclear power as a potential solution. Viewed as a cleaner alternative to fossil fuels, nuclear energy offers a steady, reliable source of electricity that could, in theory, power future AI operations sustainably. However, there are significant barriers to this transition. "While nuclear may sound great, it takes years, sometimes a decade or more to bring a new plant online," Honan remarked.&nbsp;
Additionally, policy hurdles, public resistance, and high costs further complicate nuclear adoption. As a result, it may be years—if not decades—before nuclear energy can meaningfully contribute to fueling AI's growth at scale. While the idea holds promise, it is far from an immediate solution to AI's energy dilemma.

Companies are investing heavily in exploring nuclear options as part of their long-term plans to decarbonize data infrastructure, particularly overseas. China's first nuclear power plant was connected to the grid in 1991, and within a few decades, it has developed the <a href="https://www.technologyreview.com/2025/01/14/1109963/whats-next-for-nuclear-power/">third-largest nuclear fleet globally</a>, behind only France and the United States. This year, China is expected to bring four large reactors online, with several more planned for commissioning in 2026.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why AI's Energy Problem Matters</h2>
At present, AI's energy footprint constitutes a relatively small portion of global electricity use. However, its trajectory is concerning. Analysts warn that if unchecked, AI's growing power consumption could have a cascading effect on broader electrification plans and efforts to combat climate change. The energy requirements of data centers represent a microcosm of the broader electrification challenges humanity faces: as society adopts new technologies reliant on electricity, ensuring sustainable energy practices becomes increasingly critical.
Moreover, AI's energy needs expose existing inequities in resource allocation. Communities hosting energy-intensive data centers may bear disproportionate environmental impacts, from water shortages to higher emissions associated with local power generation. This creates a moral imperative for policymakers and corporations to adopt equitable, sustainable strategies.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Case for Optimism: Toward Energy-Efficient AI&nbsp;&nbsp;</h2>
Despite these challenges, there are reasons to feel optimistic about AI's energy future. Emerging technologies and innovations could significantly reduce the energy intensity of AI systems in years to come. Improvements in software and hardware, including the development of more efficient processors, are already underway.&nbsp;
"On the software side, there's always going to be efficiencies made in the way AI models themselves are made," MIT Technology Review Senior Editor, Will Douglas Heaven, said. "We can be smarter about training with more curated, specialized data where you don't need to throw everything in it and then run models for weeks and weeks on it."
Companies can also adopt better monitoring and reporting practices to enhance accountability. Transparent reporting on AI's energy use, coupled with clear targets for reducing environmental impact, could represent a critical step toward aligning technological innovation with climate goals. Renewable energy investments and technologies like liquid cooling are further reasons for cautious optimism, as they could minimize the environmental strain of data centers.
Lastly, the increasing emphasis on sustainable infrastructure aligns AI innovation with global electrification policies.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Looking Forward&nbsp;</h2>
AI holds the potential to transform society in unprecedented ways. Yet, its rapid growth is a double-edged sword. The power-hungry nature of AI systems presents a litmus test for humanity's ability to manage technological progress responsibly while safeguarding our planet.
As the energy demands of AI mount, urgent steps must be taken to align innovation with sustainability. Solutions such as energy-efficient systems, equitable infrastructure planning, and investments in renewable energy are critical to mitigating AI's environmental impact. Importantly, collaboration between industry leaders, governments, and scientists will be essential to ensuring that AI's immense potential benefits humanity without undermining our shared future.
The coming years will define not just the trajectory of AI but also the legacy of our response to the challenges it poses on our planet. By addressing AI's energy consumption today, we can ensure that the technology powering the future is as sustainable as it is transformative.

DUBLIN, June 2, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Jazz Pharmaceuticals plc&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JAZZ#NASDAQ">JAZZ</a>) today announced long-term data, including the first report of median overall survival (OS) from the Phase 2 trial evaluating Ziihera&#xAE; (zanidatamab-hrii), a dual HER2-targeted bispecific antibody, in combination with chemotherapy for the investigational use in first-line HER2-positive (IHC 3+ or IHC 2+/FISH+) locally advanced nonresectable gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma (mGEA). The data were featured as a rapid oral presentation at the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting, and the results were concurrently published in <a href="https://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=4439717-1&amp;h=49472503&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thelancet.com%2Fjournals%2Flanonc%2Farticle%2FPIIS1470-2045(25)00287-6%2Ffulltext&amp;a=The+Lancet+Oncology">The Lancet Oncology</a>.
Among 41 patients with centrally confirmed HER2-positive tumors, treatment with Ziihera in combination with physician's choice of chemotherapy resulted in a median progression-free survival (PFS) of 15.2 months [95% CI: 9.5, 33.4], and a median overall survival (OS) of 36.5 months [95% CI: 23.6, not estimable (NE)]. Median PFS remained stable with the additional four-year follow-up, consistent with previously reported results.
Among all 46 patients in the study with HER2-expressing mGEA, median PFS was 12.5 months [95% CI: 8.2, 21.8], and median OS also reached 36.5 months [95% CI: 23.6, NE], with the longest observed survival at 57.9 months (censored at data cutoff). Long-term follow-up also demonstrated low discontinuation rates, with no new safety signals observed.
