Belén Garijo, CEO of Merck KGaA, said the German pharmaceutical company has increased its readiness to deal with the ongoing geopolitical uncertainty, and is confident it will continue delivering profitable growth in 2025.
Ginkgo Bioworks (DNA) has been upgraded to a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy), reflecting growing optimism about the company's earnings prospects. This might drive the stock higher in the near term.
Ginkgo Bioworks missed Q4 revenue estimates and issued extremely weak 2025 revenue guidance. Despite improving losses and cash burn, financial flexibility is decreasing, with cash reserves dropping significantly over the past year. The company's valuation is low, but declining revenues and high stock-based compensation pose risks.
Ginkgo Bioworks' restructuring has resulted in a dramatic reduction in cash burn in recent quarters. Ginkgo remains a long way from breakeven though and growth is expected to be poor in 2025. Unless Ginkgo can demonstrate continuous progress in 2025, its stock is likely to remain under pressure due to its shrinking cash runway.
