Actinium Pharmaceuticals stock rises after promising breast cancer therapy data

Investing.com -- Rivian Automotive Inc (NASDAQ:RIVN) stock surged 14% Friday, climbing to $18.70 after Needham analyst Chris Pierce raised his price target on the electric vehicle maker to $23 from $14 while maintaining a Buy rating.

The price target increase follows Rivian’s inaugural Autonomy & AI Day, where the company unveiled its proprietary silicon chips, next-generation autonomy platform, and comprehensive AI integration strategy. Pierce cited increased confidence in Rivian’s positioning in the software-defined vehicle market as a key factor behind the upgraded outlook.

"We reiterate our Buy rating and raise our price target to $23 following RIVN’s AI & Autonomy Day. The event increased our confidence in RIVN’s positioning as software (and now AI) defined vehicles increasingly become industry table stakes, with RIVN’s vertical integration allowing for fuller control driving faster learning and feature iterations across driver interface and autonomy technology, underpinning a durable competitive advantage," Pierce noted.

At the event, Rivian revealed its custom-designed Rivian Autonomy Processor (RAP1) and third-generation Autonomy Compute Module (ACM3), which delivers 1600 sparse INT8 TOPS (Trillion Operations Per Second). The company plans to integrate this technology along with LiDAR into its upcoming R2 models starting in late 2026.

Rivian also announced plans to launch an autonomy subscription service called Autonomy+ in early 2026, priced at either $2,500 as a one-time fee or $49.99 monthly. Additionally, the company introduced its Rivian Assistant, a next-generation voice interface powered by AI that will be available on both first and second-generation R1 vehicles.

Pierce’s updated price target represents a multiple of 20x EV/FY28 estimated adjusted EBITDA, up from 15x previously, reflecting growing enthusiasm for the company’s R2 vehicle ahead of its planned first-half 2026 launch.

Investing.com -- VertiGIS Ltd, a portfolio company of Battery Ventures, has reached an agreement in principle with 1Spatial plc (AIM:SPA) on key terms for a possible cash offer valuing the geospatial software company at approximately £87.1 million.

The possible offer of 73 pence per share represents a 57% premium to 1Spatial’s closing price of 46.5 pence on Wednesday, according to a regulatory announcement released Friday.

The 1Spatial board has indicated it intends to unanimously recommend the offer to shareholders should a firm offer be made, citing attractive valuation and compelling liquidity opportunity not currently available in public markets.

The possible offer has already received support from 1Spatial’s largest shareholders representing 33.8% of issued ordinary share capital.

VertiGIS has secured irrevocable undertakings from Threadneedle Asset Management Limited and Columbia Threadneedle Management Limited for approximately 17.7% of shares, and a non-binding letter of intent from Canaccord Genuity Asset Management for approximately 16.1%.

1Spatial’s board believes the combination would create strategic benefits by aligning complementary product capabilities and customer bases, potentially accelerating adoption of 1Spatial’s technology and broadening international distribution.

Under the Code on Takeovers and Mergers, VertiGIS must announce a firm intention to make an offer by January 9, 2026, or announce it does not intend to proceed.

VertiGIS, headquartered in London, is a leading spatial asset management solutions provider with over 500 employees across 21 offices in 9 countries. The company serves more than 5,000 customers worldwide, primarily in utility, government, telecommunications and infrastructure sectors.

Battery Ventures, which backs VertiGIS, is currently investing from its 14th flagship fund and companion Select Fund II, together capitalized at $3.8 billion, with Battery having raised over $13 billion since inception.

Investing.com -- Petro Matad Limited, the AIM-quoted Mongolian oil company, said on Friday it has achieved most productive month to date in November following the successful startup of its Gazelle-1 well.

The company reported that Heron-1 continues to deliver stable production in line with forecasts, with no free water detected. Gazelle-1, which began production in early November at 200 barrels per day, experienced some initial challenges but is now contributing to increased revenue.

Petro Matad is finalizing the rewording of its Oil Sales Agreement with PetroChina to remove partial withholding of revenue and secure payment of previously withheld amounts. Only the "relatively minor matter of tax payable on processing fees" remains to be resolved, according to the company.

The 2026 Oil Sales Agreement is being prepared with amendments from the 2025 contract.

The company has received a farm-in proposal for Block XX and hosted a due diligence visit to Mongolia and Block XX facilities. Discussions are continuing while Petro Matad follows up with two other potentially interested parties.

For Block VII, in-house studies continue alongside field work that included recovering cuttings samples from the only well drilled in the block so far. The company is focusing its farm-in partner search on operators active in northern China near the border with Block VII.

Petro Matad’s SunSteppe Renewable Energy (SRE) joint venture is progressing three major projects:

A 200MW Hybrid Renewable Energy Project in Tuv Province is being developed in partnership with Tsetsens Mining and Energy LLC. Phase 1 includes 100MW of solar PV with approvals and ready-to-build status targeted by third quarter 2026. Phase 2 will add 100MW of wind power with possible completion by late 2028.

SRE is also leading Mongolia’s first green hydrogen initiative with the Oyu Tolgoi copper mine, starting with 3MW of electrolyser capacity and expanding to 24MW of hybrid wind-solar power supply in the second phase.

Additionally, SRE is pursuing a 50MW Battery Energy Storage System project at Choir, having signed an MoU with ZTT International to strengthen its competitive position for upcoming government auctions.

Mike Buck, CEO of Petro Matad, said: "We have had Petro Matad’s most productive month to date as a result of Gazelle-1, our second producer, coming onstream and we are delighted to have established reliable operations and export of this production before the onset of winter."
