XENE's lead candidate, azetukalner, showed robust efficacy in refractory focal onset seizures and is progressing toward a Q3 2026 NDA filing.

BlackRock Earnings: Market Dominance, Strong Inflows, And An Extreme Tail Risk
BlackRock, the world's largest asset manager, reported stellar results for the second quarter of 2026 yesterday. In this update, I'll analyze how BlackRock maintains an exceptional 40% operating margin while relentlessly lowering fees to starve out active management competitors. I'll explain a lesser-known revenue stream that grew 40% year-over-year and is increasingly contributing to offset the industry-wide decline in asset management fee rates.

Microsoft: The Inflection Point May Finally Be Here
Microsoft (MSFT) trades at a rare discount, down 30% from its high, despite robust ≈17% EPS growth and sector-wide SaaS weakness. I see the market mispricing MSFT's AI integration; Office 365 remains entrenched while Copilot and Claude enhance, not disrupt, its software stack. Azure's 40% YoY growth is capacity-constrained, but management expects these limits to resolve by end-FY26, potentially accelerating growth into FY27.

IYRI: Near-Term Risks Loom But The 11% Tax-Efficient Yield Stands Out
IYRI offers an 11% yield and tax-efficient distributions, appealing to income-focused investors seeking diversification and stable income. The covered call strategy caps upside potential, causing IYRI to lag in strong REIT rallies but ensures steady distributions even in flat markets. IYRI may underperform broader markets and REIT peers if rates rise or REITs rally, but excels in delivering reliable, tax-advantaged income.

Teradyne Is Expensive At First Glance But Attractive On Growth
I rate Teradyne a buy with a $484 price target, implying 43% upside from the current level of $339. TER's earnings model is being rebuilt around AI, benefiting from increased chip complexity and broader testing requirements across the AI supply chain. I estimate AI compute, photonics, robotics, and a recovery in mobile, automotive, and industrial testing can add approximately $5.11 in incremental EPS.
