Investing.com -- Commvault Systems Inc (NASDAQ:CVLT) stock rose 3.1% Monday after the cyber resilience company announced an expanded collaboration with Google Cloud to enhance data protection and security capabilities for enterprise customers.

The Tinton Falls, New Jersey-based company introduced new features designed to help organizations combat ransomware and insider threats while meeting regulatory requirements. These capabilities include Air Gap Protect for immutable backups, Cloud Rewind for rapid application recovery, and enhanced compliance search functionality for Google Workspace environments.

Commvault’s Air Gap Protect enables customers to store backups in isolated locations within Google Cloud, helping defend against cyber threats. The company also introduced a compliance-ready Archive Tier to support regulatory requirements and optimize long-term data retention.

The expanded collaboration comes as enterprises face growing cybersecurity challenges. According to data cited by Commvault, 80% of companies have experienced increased frequency of cloud attacks, while the average downtime following a ransomware attack is 24 days.

"By expanding our collaboration with Google Cloud, we’re giving enterprises the confidence that their critical data and cloud applications are protected, isolated, and recoverable, so their business never stops," said Rajiv Kottomtharayil, Chief Products Officer at Commvault.

Commvault’s Air Gap Protect capabilities for Google Cloud are available immediately, while Cloud Rewind and Google Workspace protection can be accessed via Google Cloud Marketplace. The company’s Compliance Search capabilities for Google Workspace are currently in early access with general availability expected in the first half of 2026.

Investing.com -- Traws Pharma Inc (NASDAQ:TRAW) stock surged 14.5% Monday after the clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company announced the completion of enrollment in its Phase 2 study of ratutrelvir, an oral COVID-19 treatment being developed as an alternative to Pfizer’s PAXLOVID.

The 90-patient study compares ratutrelvir to PAXLOVID in treating mild-to-moderate COVID-19, with a separate arm for patients ineligible for PAXLOVID. According to the company, ongoing data analysis shows ratutrelvir may offer advantages including fewer adverse events, no viral rebounds to date, and faster symptom resolution.

"From a clinical perspective, the ongoing data analysis confirms previous reports that ratutrelvir may provide a meaningful benefit across a broader range of patients, including those who are unable to receive ritonavir-boosted therapy," said Robert R. Redfield, Chief Medical Officer of Traws Pharma.

The company highlighted that ratutrelvir doesn’t require co-administration with ritonavir, potentially avoiding drug-drug interactions that limit PAXLOVID’s use in certain patients. Traws is positioning the drug as a potential treatment for both acute COVID-19 and possibly Long COVID.

In addition to its COVID-19 program, Traws provided an update on tivoxavir marboxil, its influenza treatment candidate. The company is developing a compressed tablet formulation that could provide 28-day protection against influenza with a single monthly dose. Traws has secured a human influenza prophylaxis challenge study time slot for June 2026.

Investing.com - Gold prices surged to an unprecedented high above $5,100 per ounce on Monday, as escalating geopolitical tensions drove investors toward safe-haven assets.

The precious metal has gained 18% since the beginning of 2026, extending its multi-year rally amid persistent global uncertainties and inflation concerns that have enhanced its appeal as a store of value.

Spot gold reached the milestone during Monday’s trading session, continuing its upward trajectory that market observers attribute to ongoing conflicts in multiple regions and economic sanctions that have disrupted traditional investment channels.

Silver prices also benefited from the safe-haven rush, with spot silver climbing to a record peak of $112.18 per ounce, reflecting the broader momentum in precious metals markets.

Trading volumes remained robust throughout the session as institutional investors increased their precious metals allocations, according to market data showing substantial inflows into gold-backed exchange-traded funds and physical bullion purchases.

Investing.com -- Arbe Robotics Ltd (NASDAQ:ARBE) stock plunged 17.4% Monday after the perception radar solutions company announced it has priced an underwritten offering of 11.5 million ordinary shares at $1.40 per share.

The Israel-based company expects to raise approximately $16.1 million in gross proceeds from the offering before deducting underwriting discounts, commissions, and other expenses. Arbe has also granted underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 1.725 million ordinary shares at the same price.

The significant share dilution appears to be driving the stock’s decline as the offering price of $1.40 represents a substantial discount to recent trading levels. The company stated it intends to use the net proceeds for working capital and general corporate purposes.

Canaccord Genuity is serving as the sole bookrunner for the offering, while Roth Capital Partners and WestPark Capital are acting as co-managers. The offering is expected to close around January 27, 2025, subject to customary closing conditions.

Arbe Robotics, which trades on both NASDAQ and the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange (TASE:ARBE), specializes in perception radar solutions for advanced driver assistance systems and autonomous vehicles.
