Expert Ratings For Cibus

CWA Says NY Times Tech Guild Authorized Strike With 95% In Favor

Piper Sandler initiated coverage on Abbott Laboratories (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ABT#NYSE">ABT</a>), noting the company as a versatile large-cap with an attractive valuation.
Abbott has a diversified business model with solid distribution across segments (medtech, diagnostics, nutrition, pharmaceuticals) and geography. Medical devices are the company&#8217;s largest business, accounting for around 44% of total sales.
Abbott Laboratories&nbsp;reported second-quarter sales of $10.38 billion, up 4%, almost in line with the&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/earnings" rel="noreferrer noopener">consensus of $10.37 billion</a>.
Organic sales growth for the underlying base business was 9.3%, led by double-digit&nbsp;growth <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/07/39839507/abbott-laboratories-q2-earnings-revenue-and-profit-beat-estimates-nudges-up-annual-profit-guidance-o" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">in medical devices</a>.
Piper Sandler noted that the company struck a solid balance by achieving above-average growth for a large-cap medtech firm, maintaining strong efficiency metrics, and consistently paying dividends to shareholders.
Abbott has positioned itself as a high-single-digit growth company, placing it near the top of the large-cap medtech sector. Its medtech division has consistently contributed to overall growth, with expectations for double-digit expansion from 2024 to 2026.
Analyst Adam C. Maeder initiated coverage with an Overweight rating and a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ABT/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">price target of $131</a>.
Talking about the valuation, the analyst highlighted that Abbott&#8217;s stock is currently valued at 22.3 times the consensus adjusted EPS estimates for 2025, reflecting a notable discount compared to its large-cap medtech peers.
This discount is partly driven by ongoing necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) litigation, but the analyst contends that Abbott should still be trading at least on par with its peers, given its strong revenue growth and adjusted EPS outlook.
In July, Abbott stock fell following a U.S. jury&#8217;s ruling that found Abbott&#8217;s formula was responsible for a girl developing a severe bowel disease, leading to a hefty $495 million penalty. This verdict is part of nearly 1,000 lawsuits filed against Abbott Labs, its British rival&nbsp;Reckitt Benckiser Group PLC &#8211; ADR&nbsp;(OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RBGLY#OTC">RBGLY</a>), both in U.S.<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/07/40006590/abbott-laboratories-tumble-nearly-8-in-pre-market-after-us-jury-charges-495m-penalty-for-disease-" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> federal or state courts</a>.
&#8220;We don&#8217;t see much topline risk associated with the litigation, and we believe the Street is already pricing potential damages into the stock,&#8221; the analyst added.
ABT Price Action: Abbott Laboratories stock is down 1.07% at $113.66 at last publication Thursday.

Cryptocurrency Arbitrum Rises More Than 11% In 24 hours

Performance coach Greg Harden, who trained some of the biggest superstars in sports—including helping legendary NFL quarterback Tom Brady mentally prepare for his seven <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/super-bowl">Super Bowl victories</a>—passed away last week at the age of 75.
Harden also trained over 100&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/08/33975853/mrbeasts-extreme-olympics-youtube-video-attracts-the-attention-of-the-real-deal">Olympic</a>&nbsp;athletes, including 23-time gold&nbsp;medalist&nbsp;Michael Phelps, to prepare their minds for challenges.
According to a CNBC&nbsp;<a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2023/08/15/5-tips-for-becoming-a-top-competitor-from-coach-who-trained-tom-brady.html?taid=64dbd535bafe7a0001addfd5&amp;utm_campaign=trueanthem&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_source=twitter%7Cmain">report</a> from last year, Harden previously&nbsp;unveiled five tips he commonly uses when training competitors that can help you become a &#8220;stellar performer&#8221; in your own&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/08/33842691/stop-being-a-passenger-in-your-own-life-cut-time-spent-working-in-half-using-these-3-productivity-ha">work life and beyond</a>.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">1. Be Hungry, Be Humble</h2>
Most people don&#8217;t have a problem finding that &#8220;hunger&#8221; inside themselves when chasing goals, but Harden stressed that you have to remain humble while you are climbing the ladder.&nbsp;
Being able to find a balance between having a strong drive and being humble&nbsp;is a &#8220;critical piece of the puzzle,&#8221; Harden said: &#8220;You have to be able to know when your ego must lead, and when you need to follow.&#8221;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">2. You Are More Than Your Work</h2>
When training Brady ahead of one of his Super Bowl appearances, Harden tried to drive home the fact that he&#8217;s more than just a football player. We are human beings who need to be proud of ourselves when we know we&#8217;ve given something our all, regardless of the end result, he said.&nbsp;
&#8220;If you've given [it] everything you've got, win, lose or draw, you're my guy, you're my girl, you're my person &#8230;&nbsp;Because I know you didn't quit,&#8221; Harden said.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">3. Stress Can Be Managed</h2>
Everyone experiences stress at some point, usually during some of the greatest moments of their lives. Such should be anticipated and managed, he said.&nbsp;
&#8220;Stop being afraid of being afraid. It makes sense that you're anxious.&nbsp;Stress is predictable, therefore manageable,&#8221; Harden said.&nbsp;
Breathing is one way to deal with high levels of stress. Another method involves walking the line between being anxious and being excited. Shift your mindset from fear to excitement and psych yourself up for big moments with the intent of having fun, he said.&nbsp;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">4. Quick Recovery</h2>
As you work your way up in your professional life, you will encounter&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/08/33879278/beyond-the-hustle-embracing-ancient-chinese-wisdom-to-combat-modern-day-burnout">challenging times</a>. You have to find time to recover. Being able to do this quickly is a&nbsp;necessary skill for growth, Harden said.&nbsp;
How you deal with heartache, grief, disappointment and mistakes can set you apart from the rest of the pack. Those who want to be the best, need to be able to bounce back fast, he said.&nbsp;
You can improve recovery time by focusing on your strengths and weaknesses. The better you know yourself, the easier it is to recover from stressful events.&nbsp;
&#8220;Become the world's greatest expert on one subject: you," Harden said.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">5. Positive Self-Talk</h2>
Learning how to talk to yourself was one of the most important things the mental coach taught&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/17/06/9591750/michael-phelps-opens-up-about-struggles-with-adhd-depression-i-was-constantly-bou">Phelps</a>&nbsp;as he prepared for the Olympics.&nbsp;
Swimmers spend most of their time in the water, alone with their thoughts. Positive self-talk can keep you pushing forward, he said.&nbsp;
&#8220;Be obnoxiously optimistic,&#8221; Harden said. &#8220;How are you going to train yourself to believe without question or pause that this practice is going to turn into something special?"
Harden, who formerly worked as a counselor at the University of Michigan, died at the age of 75 on Monday due to complications from surgery, according to <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/sports/michigans-greg-harden-who-advised-tom-brady-michael-phelps-more-dies-75">Fox News</a>.
The X account for Michigan&#8217;s football team highlighted the &#8220;profound impact&#8221; Harden had on the program, athletic department, university, and even the world.
&#8220;You taught all of us to &#8216;Control the Controllables&#8217; and helped make this world a better place. You will be remembered forever,&#8221; the @UMichFootball account <a href="https://x.com/UMichFootball/status/1834646920285110546?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1834646920285110546%7Ctwgr%5E1f1cd49189bd720b508c14c316437dbfd02e1cb3%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.foxnews.com%2Fsports%2Fmichigans-greg-harden-who-advised-tom-brady-michael-phelps-more-dies-75">posted</a>.

A new patent for wireless charging is currently making the rounds. The automaker could highlight the tech at its highly-anticipated <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40808924/tesla-robotaxi-event-to-be-held-in-los-angeles-on-1010-says-senior-company-exec-existing-shareholder">robotaxi event on Oct. 10</a>.
Tesla filed a patent for a wireless charging system, as <a href="https://cleantechnica.com/2024/09/19/new-tesla-wireless-charging-patent-may-feature-at-10-10-tesla-robotaxi-event/">reported</a> by CleanTechnica, earlier this year.

Tesla has been working on wireless charging for years. The timing of the published patent on Sept. 6 could provide clues that the upcoming robotaxis could feature the technology.
"The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for estimating one or more parameters associated with a converter to configure wireless charging setting for a wireless charging system," the <a href="https://patentscope.wipo.int/search/en/detail.jsf?docId=WO2024182372">patent </a>reads.

Benzinga has recently highlighted other patents from Tesla including<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/09/40720928/elon-musk-to-unveil-reversible-seats-in-tesla-robotaxis-no-longer-a-driver-seat-in-the-vehicle"> rotating front seats </a>in vehicles, which could also factor into the robotaxi design.
While the patents may prove to be non-material or years away, the timing has investors closely monitoring the company ahead of the highly anticipated event next month.
With reports that the Oct. 10 event will take place at a Warner Bros. Discovery studio lot in California, anticipation for live demonstrations of the autonomous technology has increased.
Tesla is expected to show off the new robotaxi and demonstrate the latest technology, which could include charging methods.
Tesla originally scheduled the robotaxi event for Aug. 8. The company delayed the event due to extra time needed for an "important design change."
"Requested what I think is an important design change to the front, and extra time allows us to show off a few other things," Tesla CEO Elon Musk said about the delay.
TSLA Price Action: Tesla stock is up 6.6% to $242.25 on Thursday versus a 52-week trading range of $138.80 to $273.93. Tesla stock is down 2% year-to-date in 2024.
