Achilles Therapeutics shares are trading higher. The company announced the discontinuation of its TIL-based cNeT program, closure of the Phase I/IIa CHIRON and THETIS clinical trials and that it will refocus its strategy to explore further engagement with third parties.

A Raleigh, North Carolina man is embroiled in a legal dispute over the recovery of his multimillion-dollar mansion in a bizarre real estate fraud case.
The deed to Craig Adams' 8,300-square-foot home in an exclusive gated community was transferred to a stranger named Dawn Mangum without his knowledge or consent. The property is now <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/24/06/39398799/online-listings-might-be-big-fat-scams-fraudsters-lurk-in-online-vacation-rental-listings">listed for sale at $4.25 million</a>.

</ul>
Adams is frustrated with being asked to pay thousands of dollars to reclaim his own home.
"Found out that she had filed a false warranty claim deed against this house and basically tried to steal [it]," according to a story in The New York Post.
Adams first became aware of the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/06/39348022/new-york-city-clerks-mistakenly-approve-paperwork-that-falsely-tied-ivanka-trump-and-hillary-clinton">fraudulent transfer</a> when his homeowner's association contacted him to inquire about a potential property sale. Mangum had contacted the HOA requesting access to the gated community where the home is located, triggering suspicion.
Upon further investigation, Adams discovered that Mangum had forged documents and filed them with the Wake County Register of Deeds, falsely claiming ownership of his property under the Dawn Mangum Trust. The paperwork was approved and recorded without any verification of its authenticity.

"There's no effort to authenticate the validity of the change of deed," Adams said. "Nobody verifies who owns the house that's trying to be transferred to a different owner."
Adams promptly presented evidence of his ownership, including mortgage and tax documents, but county officials informed him that they were powerless to intervene. Adams said his only option was to hire a private attorney to file a civil suit against Mangum.
Trending: Rory McIlroy&#8217;s mansion in Florida is worth $22 million today, doubling from 2017 —<a href="https://benzinga.com/money/rory-mcilroys-florida-mansion-doubled-in-value"> here&#8217;s how to get started investing in real estate with just $100</a>
The incident highlights a loophole in North Carolina law. County registers of deeds are not required to verify the authenticity of submitted paperwork, nor do they check the validity of notaries or if the person submitting the deed has the legal right to the property.
&nbsp;The law permits these offices to process many documents daily without conducting thorough investigations unless signs of fraud are obvious. In Adams' case, no red flags were raised.
Trending: Want to invest in homes?<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/realbricks"> $100 is enough on this platform</a> that lets you cash out whenever you want.&nbsp; &nbsp;
Mangum asserts that the situation was a misunderstanding. She said she believed that the property was abandoned and in foreclosure and believed she was legally entitled to claim ownership.
She said she is willing to correct the paperwork and return ownership of the home to Adams.
The Wake County Sheriff's Department is investigating the case and the Register of Deeds says it will help how it can but is limited by state law.

Raleigh Man Faces Financial Ruin After His Multimillion-Dollar Home Is Stolen – New 'Owner' Now Asking For $4.2M

Flora Growth Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FLGC#NASDAQ">FLGC</a>) announced Wednesday a supply agreement with Blossom Genetics to bring Colombian medical cannabis <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/germany-cannabis">to the German market</a>.
What Happened: This collaboration will introduce two strains, Chemmy Jones and Northern Lights, to the European country. The move follows the company's recent acquisition of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/04/38297284/another-cannabis-pioneer-expands-in-germany-via-acquisition-as-experts-say-theres-no-stepping-ba">Germany-based TruHC Pharma GmbH</a> in response to the country&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/04/38023610/heres-what-you-need-to-know-about-weed-legalization-in-germany-that-just-took-effect">recent cannabis reform.</a>
Flora&#8217;s wholly-owned subsidiaries have been active in Germany since 2017, being among the first to obtain medical cannabis licenses in the country. Flora also holds an EU-GMP facility in Germany and has a distribution network with access to over 1,200 pharmacies nationwide.

Why It Matters: The move "underscores Flora&#8217;s commitment to scaling operations in Europe, ensuring that German patients have access to some of the world&#8217;s best cannabis strains, the company said in a press release.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/events/cannabis-conference/"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="970" height="250" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/19095454/ccc-oct-24-banner__1_-29.gif" alt="" class="wp-image-556353" /></a></figure>
Clifford Starke, chairman and CEO, explained what the deal means for Flora.
&#8220;This supply agreement with Blossom Genetics is a pivotal step in our efforts to expand Flora&#8217;s global presence and provide top-tier cannabis products to Germany," Starke said. "The demand for medical cannabis has surged since legalization, and we are confident that the strains we will bring to the market, will resonate with patients and healthcare providers alike.&#8221;
Last month, the company confirmed its common shares are trading on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange under the symbol "7301." The listing, Starke said earlier, allows new European investors to gain exposure to the company by increasing its trading liquidity and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/08/40255720/flora-growth-lists-on-frankfurt-stock-exchange-aiming-to-connect-with-european-investors">facilitating investment from European investors</a>.

Flora Growth Cannabis Expands European Presence With Strategic Supply Agreement For Medical Marijuana

<a href="https://www.allisontransmission.com/en-gb/company/news-article/2024/09/19/allison-transmission-expands-its-footprint-in-vietnam-with-new-dealership-agreement-with-mifu-joint-stock-company">https://www.allisontransmission.com/en-gb/company/news-article/2024/09/19/allison-transmission-expands-its-footprint-in-vietnam-with-new-dealership-agreement-with-mifu-joint-stock-company</a>
&nbsp;
Allison Transmission, a global leader in manufacturing conventional, electric hybrid and fully electric vehicle propulsion solutions and the largest producer of fully automatic transmissions for medium- and heavy-duty commercial vehicles, is pleased to announce the appointment of MIFU Joint Stock Company as an Allison Authorized Dealer in Vietnam. This partnership reflects Allison's commitment to strengthening its presence in the Southeast Asian market and delivering exceptional service to its customers in the region.
MIFU, established in 2019, has quickly become a trusted name in the supply of machinery, equipment and services for the transportation and port industries in Vietnam. As part of this new dealership agreement, MIFU will focus on port tractors at seaports across the country, providing overhaul maintenance and original spare parts for Allison's 1000–4000 Series transmissions. Allison 3000 Series&#x2122; in particular will be a key highlight of this partnership, catering to the specific needs of Vietnam's port industry.
Vietnam has launched an ambitious plan to modernize its seaport system, aiming to increase cargo capacity to 1.42 billion tons annually by 2030 and position itself as a major shipping hub in Southeast Asia. Amid this growth, MIFU, a leading provider of port equipment in Vietnam, is well-placed in the expanding market. As the distributor of Terberg yard trucks, which hold a 70% market share in the country, MIFU supplies tractors equipped with Cummins engines and Allison 3000 Series automatic transmissions, known for their durability, reliability and low maintenance needs, crucial advantages for the rigorous demands of 24/7 port operations.

An Apple Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) analyst says the company could turn to advertising revenue and other areas of growth as concerns mount over iPhone 16 demand.
The Apple Analyst: Needham analyst Laura Martin reiterated a Buy rating and $260 price target on Apple.
The Analyst Takeaways: Apple faces concerns over iPhone 16 demand. Martin points to ways the Cupertino, California-based company could kickstart additional growth, including a focus on advertising revenue.
"The top debate is when will the next iPhone replacement cycle begin? Is it the iPhone 16 or iPhone 17 or iPhone 18?" Martin asks.
Did You Know?

<li>Congress Is Making Huge Investments. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/gov-trades/?utm_source=BZprocontent091924">Get Tips On What They Bought And Sold Ahead Of The 2024 Election With Our Easy-to-Use Tool</a></li>
</ul>
Martin estimates that iPhone revenue will be over 50% of Apple's total revenue in fiscal 2024. This represents $200 billion of a $390 billion estimate.
"New iPhone sales are the single largest driver of AAPL's EPS over (or under) delivery."
Marting lays out the top nine debates from investors when it comes to Apple valuation below:
<ol>
<li>Upgrade cycle timing</li>
<li>GenAI</li>
<li>China</li>
<li>iPhone dependence</li>
<li>Vision Pro</li>
<li>Services</li>
<li>Health</li>
<li>Regulatory Risks</li>
<li>Deteriorating competitive position</li>
</ol>
Martin said Apple trades at a higher price to earnings ratio than the S&amp;P 500 average, which makes the argument that the stock is either too cheap or too expensive depending on when the iPhone replacement cycle begins.
Apple's slow launch of GenAI with Apple Intelligence has increased the debate on iPhone demand and how the company will compete with other tech giants, Martin added.
On concern in China, Martin said the region represents a smaller portion of revenue in recent years.
"Most investors believe that rising geopolitical tensions are bad for AAPL from both a revenue and cost perspective, since most of their products are imported from China."
Martin said Apple's key strength is its ecosystem with a "loyal customer base" that uses devices and services from the company, which bring in "recurring revenue streams."
Martin argues that Apple should "aggressively pursue advertising revenue" as it has been slow in this area, including with its AppleTV+ streaming business.
"Over a 3-year time frame, AAPL's single-digit rev growth feels increasingly risky to us. It's just too slow for most investors to get excited about."
Apple could charge a similar advertising rate to Netflix "given its wealthy audience," Martin said.
Based on user metrics of 44.8 million viewers, the analyst sees a potential of $5.5 million in advertising revenue for fiscal 2024. This could add 0.9% to 1.5% to Apple's revenue growth rate, the analyst says.
"We believe that if AAPL followed Amazon's lead and built a robust advertising business over the next 5 years, this would meaningfully improve AAPL's business fundamentals by accelerating rev growth and expanding profit margins, which would result in valuation multiple expansion."
AAPL Price Action: Apple stock is up 3% to $226.47 on Thursday versus a 52-week trading range of $164.08 to $237.23. Apple stock is up 22% year-to-date in 2024.

Apple Revenue Growth 'Just Too Slow For Investors To Get Excited About': Analyst Highlights Advertising As Future Catalyst

On Thursday, Edgewise Therapeutics Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EWTX#NASDAQ">EWTX</a>) released announced topline data of EDG-7500 from the Phase 1 trial in healthy subjects and the single-dose arm of the Phase 2 CIRRUS-HCM trial for obstructive <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/09/b40935198/edgewise-therapeutics-announces-positive-top-line-data-from-phase-1-trial-in-healthy-subjects-and-" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">hypertrophic cardiomyopathy</a>.
Obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is&nbsp;a heart condition that occurs when the wall between the left and right ventricles of the heart thickens, blocking blood flow from the left ventricle to the body&#8217;s main artery.&nbsp;
In the Phase 1 single ascending dose (SAD) trial (n=48), healthy subjects received single doses of EDG-7500, ranging from 5 to 300 mg.
In the trial&#8217;s multiple ascending dose (MAD) portion (n=24), healthy subjects received 25 to 100 mg once daily for 14 days.
EDG-7500 was well tolerated in both the SAD and MAD; there were no clinically meaningful changes or trends in vital signs, clinical chemistry, hematology, or electrocardiograms.
There were no meaningful changes in left ventricular ejection fraction for all SAD and MAD subjects across a broad range of EDG-7500 exposures.
The ejection fraction is&nbsp;an indicator of heart strength. It measures the amount of oxygen-rich blood pumped out to the body with each heartbeat.
In the MAD, a half-life of approximately 30 hours was observed, and a steady state was achieved approximately 4 days after the start of once-daily dosing.
Generally, dose-proportional increases in exposure were observed in both SAD and MAD.
In CIRRUS-HCM Part A, patients with obstructive HCM received a single dose of 50, 100 or 200 mg of EDG-7500.
A 67% mean reduction in resting LVOT pressure gradient (LVOT-G, obstruction&nbsp;of blood flow) and a 55% mean reduction in provokable (Valsalva) LVOT-G were observed in patients receiving the 100 and 200 mg single doses.
LVOT gradients less than 30 mmHg at rest and less than 50 mmHg with Valsalva were observed in 60% of patients receiving 100 or 200 mg of EDG-7500.
Gradient reduction was achieved without a meaningful change in LVEF.
Treatment with a single dose of EDG-7500 also led to a 64% mean reduction in NT-proBNP, a key biomarker of heart failure, in the 200 mg cohort.
Across the Phase 1 and CIRRUS-HCM trials, no subjects experienced a reduction in LVEF (left ventricular ejection fraction) below 50%, even with a wide range of EDG-7500 exposures.
Price Action: EWTX stock is up 39.3% at $26.58 at last check Thursday.

Dell Technologies Unusual Options Activity

Investors with a lot of money to spend have taken a bullish stance on Western Digital (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WDC#NASDAQ">WDC</a>).
And retail traders should know.
We noticed this today when the trades showed up on publicly available options history that we track here at Benzinga.
Whether these are institutions or just wealthy individuals, we don't know. But when something this big happens with WDC, it often means somebody knows something is about to happen.
So how do we know what these investors just did? 
Today, <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/?utm_source=insights">Benzinga</a>'s options scanner spotted 8 uncommon options trades for Western Digital.
This isn't normal.
The overall sentiment of these big-money traders is split between 62% bullish and 37%, bearish.
Out of all of the special options we uncovered, 3 are puts, for a total amount of $124,140, and 5 are calls, for a total amount of $378,450.
<h3>Predicted Price Range</h3>
Taking into account the Volume and Open Interest on these contracts, it appears that whales have been targeting a price range from $62.5 to $66.0 for Western Digital over the last 3 months. 
<h3>Volume &amp; Open Interest Development</h3>

In its bid to create a domestic competitor to rival Nvidia Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) in the artificial intelligence (AI) chip market, China is reportedly facing significant challenges due to U.S. sanctions and technological gaps.
What Happened: Chinese firms are ramping up efforts to develop an alternative to Nvidia&#8217;s chips, crucial for AI operations. This initiative is part of Beijing&#8217;s wider strategy to lessen its reliance on American technology. However, U.S. sanctions on China and Nvidia&#8217;s market dominance pose significant hurdles, CNBC <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/09/19/china-looks-for-domestic-nvidia-rival-but-thats-proving-challenging.html">reported</a> on Thursday. 
&#8220;Competing with Nvidia still presents substantial challenges in technological gaps, especially in general-purpose GPU. Matching Nvidia in the short-term is unlikely,&#8221; said Wei Sun, a senior analyst at Counterpoint Research.
Nvidia&#8217;s success is largely due to its server products, which contain graphics processing units (GPUs) that allow companies to train their AI models on extensive data. These AI models are vital for applications like chatbots and other emerging AI applications.
Since 2022, the U.S. government has curtailed the export of Nvidia&#8217;s most advanced chips to China, tightening restrictions last year. These semiconductors are crucial for China&#8217;s ambition to become a leading AI player.
Several Chinese contenders, including tech giants Huawei, Alibaba Group Holding Ltd (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>), Baidu Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BIDU#NASDAQ">BIDU</a>), and startups like Biren Technology and Enflame, are aiming to challenge Nvidia. However, these companies are currently trailing Nvidia.

U.S. sanctions and their subsequent impacts are the most significant hurdles to China&#8217;s ambitions. Some of China&#8217;s leading Nvidia challengers have been placed on the U.S. Entity List, restricting their access to American technology. Additionally, several U.S. restrictions have prevented key AI-related semiconductors and machinery from being exported to China.
Chinese GPU players design chips and rely on a manufacturing company for production. Previously, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC) would have been the go-to, but U.S. restrictions mean many of these firms cannot access TSMC-made chips. As a result, they have to turn to SMIC, China&#8217;s largest chipmaker, whose technology is generations behind TSMC.
Despite these challenges, Chinese startups remain hopeful, seeking to raise funds to achieve their objectives. 
Why It Matters: Despite U.S. sanctions, Chinese tech giants have <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/24/08/40553145/despite-us-limits-on-chinas-access-to-nvidia-chips-tech-titans-like-alibaba-and-tencent-ramp-up-ai-i">increased their capital expenditure</a> in 2024, focusing on AI infrastructure. Furthermore, Nvidia&#8217;s AI chips are <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/09/40748185/chinas-markets-still-manage-to-get-nvidia-ai-chips-via-smuggling-report">still finding their way</a> into Chinese markets via smuggling, indicating the country&#8217;s continued investment in AI. 
Meanwhile, China&#8217;s Yangtze Memory Technologies Co has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/09/40923879/chinas-ymtc-makes-strides-in-chip-production-substitutes-asml-lam-research-tech-as-us-sanctions-bite">made significant strides</a> in substituting foreign chipmaking technology with domestic alternatives. These developments highlight China&#8217;s persistent efforts to become a leading player in the global AI market, despite the challenges.
