Peakstone Realty Trust stock soars on Brookfield acquisition deal

Investing.com -- Beyond Inc. (NYSE:BBBY) stock jumped 6.9% on Monday after the company announced plans to acquire Tokens.com to establish a foundation for a unified investment and personal finance platform.

The acquisition aims to address what Beyond describes as a fragmented market for financial services by creating a one-stop solution for real estate and other real-world asset finance that bridges tokenized and traditional investing. The platform will be integrated with the company’s existing financial technology, insurance, and blockchain-based businesses.

Beyond, which owns Bed Bath & Beyond, Overstock, buybuy BABY, and a blockchain asset portfolio, will leverage its experience in tokenized assets as an early blockchain technology investor. The company maintains strategic investments in digital asset businesses including tZERO and GrainChain through its Medici portfolio.

The new platform is designed to give customers a consolidated view of their assets and interests, including ownership structure, estimated values, existing obligations, and liquidity options. It will support tokenization of qualifying securities and real-world assets, alongside asset-backed financing solutions for home purchases, refinancing, and home equity.

"Providing responsible, compliant liquidity pathways for homeowners and real-world asset holders is our strategy and long-term vision," said Marcus Lemonis, Executive Chairman and CEO of Beyond Inc.

The platform will utilize tZERO’s infrastructure for capital markets, tokenization, custody, and trading. It will also partner with Figure Technologies and Figure Markets to provide mortgages, home equity lines of credit, and other asset-backed lending solutions.

Beyond expects the Tokens.com platform to become operational by July 1, 2026, subject to closing and customary conditions.

Investing.com -- Novo Nordisk (NYSE:NVO) stock climbed mid-morning, paring earlier declines to trade flat after the company announced positive results from its REIMAGINE 2 trial for CagriSema in adults with type 2 diabetes.

The Danish pharmaceutical giant reported that CagriSema demonstrated superior HbA1c reduction of 1.91%-points compared to 1.76%-points with semaglutide alone. The combination therapy also achieved superior weight loss of 14.2% versus 10.2% with semaglutide after 68 weeks of treatment.

The phase 3 trial, which included 2,728 people with type 2 diabetes inadequately controlled with metformin with or without an SGLT2 inhibitor, showed that up to 43% of patients achieved ≥15% weight loss and up to 24% achieved ≥20% weight loss with CagriSema at the 2.4 mg/2.4 mg dose.

"We are very pleased by the clinical profile of CagriSema in type 2 diabetes patients, including a confirmation of the very strong weight loss data seen with CagriSema in the obesity trials," said Martin Holst Lange, executive vice president and chief scientific officer at Novo Nordisk.

The company noted that no weight loss plateau was observed at week 68 for CagriSema, suggesting continued effectiveness throughout the treatment period. The most common adverse events were gastrointestinal in nature, with the majority being mild to moderate and diminishing over time.

Following these results, along with previous findings from REIMAGINE 1 and REDEFINE 3 trials, Novo Nordisk plans to approach regulatory authorities to discuss the pathway for CagriSema in type 2 diabetes. The company had already submitted CagriSema for weight management to the US FDA in December 2025 based on earlier pivotal trials.

CagriSema combines cagrilintide, a long-acting amylin receptor agonist, with semaglutide, Novo Nordisk’s GLP-1 receptor agonist that has driven significant revenue growth for the company through its Ozempic and Wegovy products.

Investing.com -- Morgan Stanley downgraded Humana to Underweight from Equal-weight, warning that policy risks and the company’s 2026 Medicare Advantage bid strategy could slow its margin turnaround and pressure earnings into 2027.

The bank cut its price target to $174 from $262 after lowering estimates and factoring in additional profit risks.

It said the call is relative, arguing that positioning looks more compelling at peers such as UnitedHealth Group, CVS Health and Cigna amid broader disruption in managed care.

Morgan Stanley said a weaker-than-expected Medicare Advantage Advance Rate Notice adds a new policy overhang for the sector, with Humana disproportionately exposed given its focus on MA. The notice pointed to roughly flat benchmark reimbursement rates for 2027, compared with market expectations for a 3% to 5% increase. The bank estimated that, on an unmitigated basis, each 1% decline in the rate notice could translate into about 36% earnings pressure for Humana in 2027.

The bank also flagged risks tied to Humana’s 2026 bid strategy. Based on its proprietary benefit richness analysis, Morgan Stanley said Humana stood out as one of the few plans to expand Medicare Advantage prescription drug offerings, increasing benefits by 2.9% overall. That contrasted with a national average decline of about 9% as competitors moved to protect margins.

Humana’s benefit richness increased across both HMO and PPO plans, with the company rising to the second-richest PPO offering, an area Morgan Stanley described as less profitable and one that many rivals are deemphasizing. While consistent with Humana’s stated strategy, the bank questioned whether the company fully anticipated the scale of benefit cuts by competitors.

Morgan Stanley said early-quarter commentary points to sharper-than-expected enrollment declines at other insurers, raising the risk that Humana’s enrollment growth could exceed plan assumptions. That dynamic could leave the company with higher membership but weaker profitability, complicating its planned recovery.

Humana shares are down about 24% year to date and trade at roughly 10.3 times Morgan Stanley’s 2027 earnings estimate, near peer levels. Even so, the bank said the stock may be more expensive than it appears if profit risks in 2026 and 2027 materialize.
