MoonLake stock surges after FDA grants Fast Track designation for PPP treatment

Investing.com -- Vanguard Group announced another round of fee cuts across its mutual funds and exchange-traded funds on Monday, further reducing costs in an industry already known for low fees.

The asset manager, which oversees approximately $12 trillion, is lowering expenses for 84 share classes across 53 funds. This latest reduction brings Vanguard’s average asset-weighted expense ratio down to 0.06%, one basis point lower than last year’s record fee cut.

These cost reductions align with Vanguard’s 50-year history of reshaping the asset management industry through low-cost index funds, which has forced competitors to slash their own fees to remain competitive. While the industry-wide race to the bottom on fees appears to be reaching its limit, with average fees on new funds beginning to rise, Vanguard continues its strategy of steadily reducing costs.

"Vanguard is investor-owned — we have no outside stockholders or inside owners profiting from our clients," said Vanguard CEO Salim Ramji in Monday’s release. "These fee reductions — more than half a billion dollars over the past two years — are a clear expression of our purpose and commitment to our clients as owners."

The company estimates that between this year’s cuts and those implemented last year, Vanguard investors have saved approximately $600 million.

Tracking insider transactions provides valuable insights into management’s confidence in their companies. When executives buy shares with their own money, it often signals belief in future growth. Conversely, insider selling may indicate concerns about valuation or future prospects, though it can also reflect personal financial planning. Investors should consider these transactions as just one factor in their research, alongside fundamental analysis and broader market conditions.

Investing.com -- 60 Degrees Pharmaceuticals Inc (NASDAQ:SXTP) stock dropped 16.9% in premarket trading Monday following the announcement of a partnership with GoodRx (NASDAQ:GDRX) to offer prescription savings on its malaria prevention drug ARAKODA.

The pharmaceutical company, which focuses on developing medicines for vector-borne diseases, revealed that the collaboration will provide eligible consumers with savings of up to 30% on ARAKODA (tafenoquine), the only FDA-approved, once-weekly prescription malaria prevention medication currently available in the U.S. market.

Starting February 2, 2026, patients will be able to access discounted pricing for ARAKODA at more than 70,000 pharmacies nationwide through GoodRx’s platform, or have the medication delivered to their homes when available.

ARAKODA is primarily prescribed for travelers heading to regions where malaria is endemic. The drug was discovered by Walter Reed Army Institute of Research and received FDA approval in 2018. It features a long terminal half-life of approximately 16 days, which allows for less-frequent dosing compared to other malaria prevention options.

The standard regimen for ARAKODA includes a loading phase of two 100mg tablets daily for three days before travel, followed by two 100mg tablets weekly during travel for up to six months, and two 100mg tablets in the week following travel.

Despite the potential benefits of increased accessibility through the GoodRx partnership, investors appeared to respond negatively to the news, sending shares lower in early trading.
