Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) is reportedly set to launch a&nbsp;Calculator app&nbsp;for the iPad, a long-awaited feature, with the upcoming iPadOS 18.

At Last! Apple To Finally Introduce Calculator App For iPad After 14 Years: Report

The trend of Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) whales accumulating the cryptocurrency appears to have halted, according to a popular analyst. 
What Happened: On Tuesday, Ali Martinez, took to social media platform X, formerly Twitter, to alert the community about the cessation of Bitcoin accumulation by whales. Martinez&#8217;s post was accompanied by a chart of the accumulation trend score, an indicator of the on-chain accumulation behavior of large entities.
As the accumulation trend score has now dropped to zero, Martinez believes this indicates that whales are either distributing or not accumulating Bitcoin at current levels.

The Accumulation Trend Score is a measure that shows how much Bitcoin different entities are acquiring or selling on-chain. It combines two factors: the size of the entities&#8217; Bitcoin holdings (their participation score) and whether they&#8217;re getting more coins or selling them over the last month (their balance change score). 
A score closer to 1 suggests that larger entities or a significant portion of the network are accumulating Bitcoin, while a score closer to 0 indicates they&#8217;re selling or not acquiring more. This helps us understand the size and behavior of market participants in terms of Bitcoin accumulation over the past month, <a href="https://academy.glassnode.com/indicators/accumulation-trend-score">according</a> to Glassnode Academy.
Whales are typically large holders of Bitcoin, and their accumulation or distribution behavior can significantly impact the market. This shift in their behavior could potentially signal a change in the market&#8217;s direction.

Why It Matters: The news of Bitcoin whales halting their accumulation comes at a time when the cryptocurrency&#8217;s future value is a topic of much debate. Despite a recent pullback, a Standard Chartered analyst has predicted a more than <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/04/38369340/bitcoin-to-more-than-double-in-value-to-150k-by-year-end-says-standard-chartered-analyst-w">100% increase in Bitcoin&#8217;s value</a> by the end of 2024. This forecast, combined with the whale behavior, could indicate a significant shift in the market&#8217;s dynamics.
Additionally, the BRICS nations are exploring the use of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/04/38385726/brics-eye-stablecoins-cbdc-bridge-to-advance-financial-integration">stablecoins and CBDCs</a> to reduce their reliance on the U.S. dollar, potentially impacting the global cryptocurrency market. Meanwhile, meme coins are gaining traction, with a trader predicting that at least three meme coins will <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/04/38383807/trader-predicts-at-least-3-meme-coins-above-100b-market-cap-heres-which-coins-benzinga-fol">surpass a $100 billion</a> market cap.
However, some traders have expressed concerns about the current state of the market, with one warning that the market is overvalued and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/04/38365501/crypto-greed-almost-at-all-time-high-but-prices-are-not-warns-trader-this-cycle-is-kinda-c">the current cycle</a> may not be as favorable as the previous one.
These developments, combined with the change in whale behavior, suggest that the cryptocurrency market may be on the verge of a significant shift.
Price Action: According to the data <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">from Benzinga Pro</a>, Bitcoin is currently priced at $66,843, marking a 0.64% increase over the past 24 hours. Impressively, it has surged by 51.33% since the beginning of the year.

Cathie Wood's Ark Invest Remains Bullish Despite Tesla's Q1 Earnings Slip, Revenue Drop — Buys $4.3M in EV Maker Stock

Owner of X, Elon Musk, has reacted to a Republican congressman&#8217;s revelation that he is being threatened with a fine for not deleting a video from his social media account.
What Happened: On Tuesday, Rep.&nbsp;Marjorie Taylor Greene&#8216;s&nbsp;(R-Ga.) ally, Rep.&nbsp;Thomas Massie&nbsp;(R-Ky.) took to X, formerly&nbsp;Twitter, to share his experience with&nbsp;the &#8220;House Sergeant at Arms.&#8221; 
Massie said that he was warned of a $500 fine if he did not delete a video post. &#8220;Instead of fining democrats for waving flags, the House Sergeant at Arms just called and said I will be fined $500 if I don't delete this video post,&#8221; he said, adding, Rep.&nbsp;Mike Johnson&nbsp;(R-La.) &#8220;really wants to memory hole this betrayal of America.&#8221;
The video in question was posted on Sunday, showed&nbsp;several U.S. House Representatives waving&nbsp;Ukraine&#8217;s flag. At the time, Massie&#8217;s caption read,&nbsp;&#8220;This is the U.S. House&nbsp;of Representatives under the direction&nbsp;of Speaker Mike Johnson. Democrats&nbsp;are celebrating his total capitulation&nbsp;with no victory for securing&nbsp;our border.&#8221;

Musk, in response to Massie&#8217;s post, asked, &#8220;You can be fined for posting a video?&#8221;
Massie, in turn, questioned the authority of the House to demand the removal of a video from his congressional account. He also raised concerns about the House &#8220;Sergeant at Arms&#8221; monitoring his social media account for potential infractions.
&#8220;The uniparty is big mad at me for exposing them on several votes and for asking the Speaker to resign. The Speaker, his staff, or one of his allies in our conference is probably directing the Sergeant at Arms to do this,&#8221; Massie said.

Why It Matters: Massie&#8217;s latest statements are in line with his previous public stance against Speaker Johnson. He had joined forces with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/04/38284071/marjorie-taylor-greene-bid-to-oust-speaker-mike-johnson-joined-by-thomas-massie-its-a-clusterf-k">Greene in her campaign to remove Johnson</a> following the Speaker&#8217;s decision to bring multiple foreign aid bills to the floor.
The video posted by Massie on Sunday along with Greene&#8217;s demand for Johnson's resignation came after the House&#8217;s endorsement of a $95 billion foreign aid package, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/04/38349699/marjorie-taylor-greene-says-mike-johnsons-speakership-is-over-after-house-passes-ukraine-aid-package">earmarking $61 billion for Ukraine</a> and neighboring allies. 
Despite his earlier reluctance to bring such a bill to the House floor, Johnson sided with Democrats in pushing the bill forward. It now awaits final approval in the Senate.
Meanwhile, Speaker Johnson has brushed aside the threat of being ousted as &#8220;absurd&#8221; and has asserted his refusal to step down even though beside Massie, Rep. Paul Gosar (R-Ariz.) has also <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/04/38351863/marjorie-taylor-greene-insists-motion-to-vacate-mike-johnsons-speakership-is-inevitable-do-the-right">openly backed Greene&#8217;s proposal</a>.

Elon Musk Reacts To Marjorie Taylor Greene's Ally Revelation Of Fine Threat By House Authorities: Mike Johnson Removing Traces Of 'Betrayal of America'

In the lead-up to the 2024 elections, EMILY&#8217;s List, a pro-abortion rights organization, has issued a warning to 14 potential Republican VP candidates for their hardline stance on abortion.
What Happened: EMILY&#8217;s List is focusing on 14 Republicans who are believed to be on former President Donald Trump&#8217;s VP shortlist for his 2024 run. The group has previously used this strategy to target vulnerable House Republicans, especially in swing districts, by drawing attention to their abortion records, <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/4616530-abortion-rights-group-knocks-possible-trump-vp-picks-extremism/">reported</a> The Hill.
In a press release, EMILY&#8217;s List declared, &#8220;Abortion is on the ballot this year like never before, so for the first time in EMILYs List history the 2024 ‘On Notice' list focuses on Trump's ‘Veepstakes' pool to send a clear message to voters.&#8221; The organization stressed that regardless of Trump&#8217;s VP choice, the GOP ticket poses a significant threat to reproductive rights in the U.S.

EMILY&#8217;s List President Jessica Mackler reinforced this message, stating, &#8220;A Trump presidency will mean a national abortion ban is on the menu, and whichever extremist he picks as his running mate will not change that.&#8221; The group named 14 Republican individuals for its 2024 &#8220;On Notice&#8221; list, including Ben Carson, Rep. Byron Donalds (R-Fla.), Rep. Elise Stefanik (N.Y.), Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio), and others.
The group also added a 15th mystery potential VP candidate to the list, stating that whoever Trump chooses, they will support his extreme anti-abortion agenda.
Why It Matters: Abortion has emerged as a key issue for the 2024 election, with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/04/38213007/trumps-changing-stance-on-abortion-arizona-ruling-bring-2024-election-topic-front-and-center-how">Trump often taking credit</a> for the overturning of Roe v. Wade in 2022. 
Since then, about a third of states have banned the procedure in almost all circumstances. Trump&#8217;s stance on abortion has been criticized as the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/04/38153724/trump-has-taken-most-unfavorable-political-position-on-abortion-says-ex-bush-strategist">&#8220;worst possible political position&#8221;</a> by Matthew Dowd, a strategist for President George W. Bush. 
Furthermore, former Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/04/38038951/hillary-clinton-blasts-trump-for-appointing-judges-that-overturned-legal-abortion-were-witnessing-th">blamed Trump</a> for the fallout from the reversal of Roe v. Wade.

Trump VP Pool, Including A Mystery Candidate, Put On Notice By Anti-Abortion Group: 'GOP Ticket Poses A Significant Threat'

A delegation from North Korea, led by the cabinet minister for international trade, is visiting Iran. This visit comes amid long-standing suspicions of covert military ties between the two nations.
What Happened: Yun Jong Ho, the North Korean minister for external economic relations, led a delegation to Iran, departing from Pyongyang by air on Tuesday, according to a Reuters report on Wednesday. The North&#8217;s KCNA news agency did not provide additional details about the visit.
Both North Korea and Iran have been under scrutiny for potentially collaborating on ballistic missile programs, including the sharing of technical expertise and production components. In February, Reuters reported that Iran had supplied a significant number of ballistic missiles to Russia for use in its conflict with Ukraine.
North Korea is also suspected of supplying Russia with missiles and artillery, despite denials from both countries. Yun Jong Ho, who has previously worked on North Korea&#8217;s relations with Syria, has been actively involved in the country&#8217;s growing exchanges with Russia, leading a delegation to Moscow earlier this month.

Kim Jong Un's Minister Who Worked On North Korea's Syria Relations Visits Iran Amid Festering Middle-East Tensions

The endorsement of Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) by former President Donald Trump has done little to deter conservative rebels from their mission to oust him. Despite Trump&#8217;s support, key figures like Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) and Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) continue to voice their dissatisfaction.
What Happened: Trump&#8217;s backing of Johnson was made public during a radio interview with John Fredericks on Monday. 
The ex-president said, &#8220;It's not like he can go and do whatever he wants to do. I think he's a very good person,&#8221; Trump said following his time in court in New York on Monday. &#8220;I think he's trying very hard.&#8221;
However, this endorsement has not appeased those seeking Johnson&#8217;s removal. Greene, the originator of the current motion-to-vacate resolution, expressed her dissatisfaction on social media, stating, &#8220;Complete surrender is not acceptable and will not be tolerated.&#8221;
Similarly, Massie criticized Johnson again on Tuesday, insisting on no &#8220;complete &amp; total surrender.&#8221; He also expressed his disappointment with the current state of the U.S. House, calling it &#8220;downright embarrassing.&#8221;
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/04/38357333/elon-musk-reacts-to-tucker-carlson-saying-theres-ton-of-evidence-that-aliens-live-among-us-with-6000?itm_source=parsely-api" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Elon Musk Reacts To Tucker Carlson Saying There&#8217;s &#8216;Ton Of Evidence&#8217; That Aliens Live Among Us: &#8216;With 6000 Satellites Orbiting Earth, I Think I Would Know&#8217;</a>
Why It Matters: This rebellion against Johnson follows his decision to advance a $95 billion foreign aid package, including $61 billion for Ukraine and regional partners. Greene had previously called for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/04/38349699/marjorie-taylor-greene-says-mike-johnsons-speakership-is-over-after-house-passes-ukraine-aid-package">Johnson&#8217;s resignation</a> after the House passed the aid package, accusing him of betraying Republican voters. She threatened to initiate a vote for his removal if he didn't step down.
Trump had previously <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/04/38230714/trump-throws-support-behind-mike-johnson-amid-marjorie-taylor-greenes-ouster-threat-hes-doing-a-very">expressed his support</a> for Johnson during a press conference at Mar-a-Lago. Despite Trump&#8217;s efforts to quell the rift, Greene has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/04/38237873/marjorie-taylor-greene-isnt-backing-down-on-criticism-of-house-speaker-despite-donald-trumps-efforts">remained unyielding</a> in her criticism of Johnson.

Trump's Endorsement Fails To Quell Marjorie Taylor Greene's Conservative Rebellion Against Speaker Mike Johnson: 'Complete Surrender Is Not Acceptable'

In the early stages of the hush money trial, Donald Trump&#8217;s defense lawyer, Todd Blanche, appears to be losing credibility with the presiding judge.
What Happened: Judge Juan Merchan expressed skepticism during a hearing on Tuesday, April 23, when Blanche suggested that Trump was making efforts to adhere to a court-ordered gag order. The judge reportedly told Blanche, &#8220;You&#8217;re losing all credibility,&#8221; <a href="https://www.msnbc.com/deadline-white-house/deadline-legal-blog/trump-gag-order-trial-judge-merchan-todd-blanche-rcna148977">reported</a> MSNBC.
Merchan&#8217;s dissatisfaction arose from Blanche&#8217;s inability to respond to his inquiries during the hearing. The judge did not immediately decide whether Trump&#8217;s remarks against witnesses and jurors contravened his order. Following the hearing, the trial&#8217;s first witness, David Pecker, returned to the stand for direct examination by the prosecution.

Will He Go To Prison? — Here&#8217;s How It&#8217;s Likely To Play Out</a>
The diminishing credibility of Trump&#8217;s lawyer could have significant implications for the trial. Judges&#8217; daily decisions on matters such as witnesses, evidence, and scheduling can greatly influence a case, particularly if the jury perceives a judge&#8217;s dissatisfaction with a lawyer, according to the report.
Why It Matters: The trial, which began on Monday, is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/04/38366379/trump-committed-conspiracy-to-undermine-the-integrity-of-a-presidential-election-prosecution-all">centered on allegations</a> that Trump committed a &#8216;conspiracy to undermine the integrity of a presidential election.&#8217; Pecker, former National Enquirer publisher, was a key witness, testifying about his role in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/04/38392485/david-pecker-testifies-to-national-enquirer-buying-stories-that-could-damage-donald-trump-potent">purchasing and suppressing stories</a> to benefit Trump during the 2016 presidential campaign.
Moreover, Trump has been accused of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/04/38368871/trump-allegedly-violated-gag-order-10-times-will-hush-money-judge-show-leniency-on-contempt-charges">violating a gag order multiple times</a>, leading to the hearing where Blanche&#8217;s credibility was questioned. If found in violation, Trump could face penalties ranging from a warning to a fine or even a short jail term.

Trump Hush Money To Ex-President's Lawyer: 'You're Losing All Credibility'

Well-known investor Chamath Palihapitiya recently shared the one question he asks potential job candidates he interviews in hopes to filter <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/12/36401990/5-simple-ways-to-sell-yourself-and-stand-out-in-a-job-interview">out potential applicants.</a>
The One Question: Palihapitiya said he has interviewed thousands of people between the companies he has run and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/chamath-palihapitiya">companies he has invested in</a>.
When searching for potential job applicants, Palihapitiya said he has a go-to method for finding the right candidates.
"There's one question that I always go to that I think is the most predictive of your ability to contribute in a company," Palihapitiya <a href="https://twitter.com/theallinpod/status/1782503638406996456?t=muzOeaiDlMS0zQyJSY04vA&amp;s=19">said</a>.
The investor said that he tells a candidate to take a few minutes to think about something they are an expert on and then explain it to him in around two minutes.
Related Link: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/top-stories/23/12/36203650/dont-ask-this-question-in-a-job-interview-you-kill-your-chances-of-getting-hired">Don&#8217;t Ask This Question In A Job Interview, You Kill Your Chances Of Getting Hired</a>
Why It's Important: Palihapitiya said the question helps find out if the candidate has a clear mind, can simplify topics and can communicate properly to another person.
Palihapitiya said the ability to communicate and get someone else on the same page as you can be determined with the question.
"And that's a very powerful skill inside a company," Palihapitiya said.
The question also shows that people can "focus deeply on one goal."
The investor also said the question can help get rid of people who are coached or trained on how to ace an interview or can be too robotic in nature.
"That's a huge filter."

Chamath Palihapitiya Has One Key Question He Asks In Interviews: 'Very Powerful Skill Inside A Company'

Latin music revenue in the U.S. hit a new high in 2023, reaching $1.4 billion, marking a significant 16% growth from the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/business-of-music">previous year. </a>
The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) reported Latin music&#8217;s market share in the overall U.S. music market also climbed to 7.9%, a new peak, Variety<a href="https://variety.com/2024/music/news/latin-music-us-revenue-fastest-growing-us-market-1235978539/"> reported.</a>
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/04/38362990/taylor-swifts-the-tortured-poets-department-hits-1-6m-us-sales-sets-spotify-on-fire-with-ov">Taylor Swift&#8217;s &#8216;The Tortured Poets Department&#8217; Hits 1.6M US Sales, Sets Spotify On Fire With Over 300M Streams</a>
In dialogue with the magazine, RIAA&#8217;s Rafael Fernandez Jr. attributed this surge to the genre&#8217;s increasing popularity among a new generation of stars and the widespread availability of streaming platforms.
&#8220;Latin music has exploded in the U.S. over the last decade as a new generation of stars boosts the genre and streaming puts this dynamic sector at everyone's fingertips,&#8221; Fernández said. 
The rise of artists like Karol G and Peso Pluma played a key role in this growth. Karol G made history by becoming the first Latina woman to top the Billboard 200 with an all-Spanish-language album, &#8220;Mañana Será Bonito,&#8221; in February 2023. 
Meanwhile, Peso Pluma also made waves by claiming the highest-charting música Mexicana album on the Billboard 200 with &#8220;Genesis,&#8221; peaking at No. 3.
Furthermore, streaming platforms continued to dominate the listening experience for Latin music fans, generating over 98% of Latin music revenues. Paid subscriptions contributed the most to total revenues. 
However, platforms such as Alphabet Inc&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>)(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) YouTube, Universal Music Group&#8217;s (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UMGNF#OTC">UMGNF</a>) Vevo, and social media also played a significant role, accounting for nearly a quarter of the Latin market&#8217;s total value.
Despite the shift to digital platforms, digital and customized radio services, along with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/23/03/31180475/vinyl-sales-in-the-uk-surpassed-cds-for-the-first-time-since-1987-what-does-this-mean">physical formats like vinyl albums</a>, still held a notable share of the market. 
"It's incredible to see the impact this genre is having on the overall U.S. market and the role streaming continues to play in helping fans connect as they discover new styles, artists and sounds,&#8221; Matthew Bass, RIAA vice president of research and gold and platinum operations said. 
&#8220;And just as we've seen vinyl surge in the overall market, Latin music has plenty of space to expand even deeper into this traditional format with new highs undoubtedly yet to come,&#8221; he added.

For bold investors, there are few opportunities as exciting as chasing 10x returns in the stock market. Make no mistake about it, the stock market offers up multiple opportunities to turn $1 into $10 quickly.&nbsp;Investors should dedicate a relatively small amount of their portfolio toward chasing such gains. Even then, aggressive stocks to 10X returns should be reserved for only the bold.



Experienced investors with a high risk tolerance may dedicate as much as 25% of their portfolio toward such efforts. More generally speaking, <a href="https://www.investopedia.com/terms/s/speculativecapital.asp#:~:text=Speculative%20capital%20is%20the%20funds,a%20typical%20investor's%20portfolio%20equity.">speculative plays should account for no more than 10%</a> of a given investor&rsquo;s portfolio.&nbsp;



Overall, chasing outside games is risky and not for the faint of heart. That caveat aside, let&rsquo;s look at three aggressive plays to 10x your returns by 2025.



<h2>EVgo (EVGO)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/evgo-clii-stock-300x169.jpg" alt="EVgo fast charging station"><div>Source: Sundry Photography / Shutterstock.com</div></div>EVgo (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/evgo-stock-quote/">EVGO</a>) is one of the best choices for EV infrastructure investors at the moment. It&rsquo;s also one of the better aggressive plays for investors seeking to 10x their returns by 2025.



The company continues to rapidly approach milestones that are bound to make it more attractive overall. The company&rsquo;s most recent earning call forecasts <a href="https://s27.q4cdn.com/370825096/files/doc_financials/2023/q4/2024-03-06-EVgo-Q4-23-and-FY-23-Earnings-Presentation.pdf">adjusted EBITDA breakeven in 2025</a>. EVgo is going to continue to march toward profitability whereas many other EV infrastructure plays are saddled with losses. One reason investors should believe that the company is capable of profitability lies in its current standalone installed base. The company notes that those assets are profitable when isolated from the company in totality.



Revenues increased by 195% during 2023, reaching $161 million. Meanwhile, EVgo increased its customer count by 60% during the same period, rising to 884,000.&nbsp;



Shares currently trade for $2.22, benefitting from a <a href="https://stockanalysis.com/stocks/evgo/forecast/">high target price of $10</a>. Simple arithmetic dictates that that is not 10x potential. However, that target only moves out slightly more than a year. Nine months after that, 2025 will have ended. It is not unreasonable to believe that EVGO shares could have reached $25 by that time.&nbsp;



<h2>Bilibili (BILI)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/bili-stock-1-300x169.jpg" alt="picture of bilibili (BILI) logo on a phone"><div>Source: rafapress / Shutterstock.com</div></div>Bilibili (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/bili-stock-quote/">BILI</a>) is reasonably expected to have the ability to 10x within the next 12 to 18 months. Shares of the stock currently trade for $11 and benefit from a<a href="https://stockanalysis.com/stocks/bili/forecast/"> high target price of $120</a>.



The entertainment company serves the youth of China. Although China is facing multiple demographic issues it still has a population of <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/01/19/chinas-working-age-population-is-shrinking.html">864 million between the ages of 16 and 59</a>. The United States has 335 million people in total.&nbsp;



Bilibili serves a substantial slice of that demographic through content generation, including a video upload platform as well as comic-related content.&nbsp;



Revenues were relatively flat in <a href="https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2024/03/07/2842017/0/en/Bilibili-Inc-Announces-Fourth-Quarter-and-Fiscal-Year-2023-Financial-Results.html">the most recent quarter</a>, increasing by 3%. Encouragingly, ad revenues increased by 28% while value-added services increased by 22%. Despite those metrics the company does continue to lose money. In order for Bilibili to approach its 10x potential the company will have to indicate to investors that it can substantially narrow those losses.



<h2>Mesoblast (MESO)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/biotech1600-1-300x169.jpg" alt="A scientist holds a test tube while it is in a container"><div>Source: Shutterstock</div></div>Mesoblast (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/meso-stock-quote/">MESO</a>) is one of dozens of <a href="https://investorplace.com/industries/healthcare/biotech/">biotech stocks</a> available to aggressive investors seeking 10x returns. It does indeed have 10x returns, based on analyst targets, which peg it at as much as $68 moving forward. Shares currently trade for $3.40. Encouragingly, the consensus price stands at $27.33.&nbsp;



So what does the company do? The company develops regenerative medicine products. Those products are centered around a technology platform leveraging specialized cells known as mesenchymal lineage cells.



Its technology platform has applications across a wide range of issues, including low back pain, heart failure and arthritis as a few examples.&nbsp;



On March 25, the FDA notified Mesoblast that <a href="https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2024/03/26/2852084/0/en/United-States-Food-Drug-Administration-FDA-Notifies-Mesoblast-that-Available-Clinical-Data-from-Phase-3-Trial-Appear-Sufficient-to-Support-BLA-Submission-for-Remestemcel-L-in-Child.html">Phase 3 trial data appears sufficient for submission</a> of one of its programs. The data supports a proposed biologics license application for treatment of graft versus host disease. The news brought prices above $3.90 when released. Price levels have since retreated to $3.50, very likely due to profit taking.
