(HIMS) are set to open the new trading week in the red,&nbsp;down nearly 1.7% in premarket trading on Monday, as investors reacted to fresh competitive pressure in the weight-loss drug market and renewed Wall Street skepticism.The stock came under pressure after Amazon Pharmacy announced it&nbsp;would&nbsp;now offer Novo Nordisk's Wegovy weight-loss pill at aggressively competitive prices, intensifying fears around pricing power and market share for telehealth providers like Hims.Late Friday, Amazon said eligible customers with commercial insurance could pay as little as $25 for a one-month supply, while uninsured customers can access the drug through a cash-pay option starting at $149 per month. Amazon Pharmacy said it will deliver the medication nationwide and plans to make Wegovy available through its physical kiosks in the coming weeks.<h1 class="st-heading-1">Analyst Downgrades Add To Pressure</h1>Adding to the bearish tone, Bank of America lowered its price target on Hims &amp; Hers and reiterated an 'Underperform' rating last week. The firm warned that 2026 consensus estimates for revenue growth and EBITDA margin expansion appear overly optimistic.Citi echoed similar concerns, noting that Novo Nordisk's decision to roll out Wegovy in the U.S. could broadly pressure Hims' GLP-1 business in 2026. The firm also noted that Hims' being left off Novo's official partner list once again is a sign of ongoing disagreements around Hims' compounded semaglutide strategy.<h1 class="st-heading-1">Retail Stays Optimistic On HIMS</h1>Despite sell-side caution, retail sentiment on Stocktwits for HIMS remains upbeat, with bulls citing its diversified telehealth platform, vertical integration, and other factors.Sentiment on Stocktwits remained 'extremely bullish' heading into Monday's open, even as the stock is down nearly 4% year-to-date.

Short interest has climbed to nearly 29%, up from about 19% a year ago, according to Koyfin data.Of the 14 analysts covering the stock, eight rate it a 'hold', with the rest evenly split between ‘buy’ and ‘sell’. The group's consensus price target implies HIMS is trading at roughly a 37% premium, underscoring concerns that much of its growth optimism may already be priced in.Last week, CEO Andrew Dudum&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/hims-and-hers-ceo-bets-on-personalized-healthcare-and-ai-in-2026/cmU25ksR45v">said</a> the company is leaning further into a consumer-led healthcare model in 2026, even as analysts grow more cautious about margins and the near-term pressure on earnings.For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.

Over the past year, SpaceX’s watcher count on Stocktwits has more than doubled, while message volume has jumped roughly 1,600% over the past three months.<h1 class="st-heading-1">What Would It Mean For Tesla?</h1>It remains unclear what the real-world impact of a SpaceX-Tesla reverse merger would be, but online speculation has been intense. Many traders believe such a move could supercharge Tesla’s valuation, potentially making it easier for Musk to hit the ambitious performance milestones tied to his historic trillion-dollar compensation package.<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/TSLA">Tesla stock</a>, however, has had a choppy start to the year. Shares are down nearly 2.8% year-to-date, with retail sentiment on Stocktwits sitting in ‘bearish’ territory heading into the week.Valuation concerns persist. Several analysts warn that Tesla trades at a forward P/E of roughly 227x, well above that of traditional automakers. By comparison, Toyota Motor, the world’s largest carmaker by volume, trades at about 13x forward earnings, while the U.S.-listed stock of the largest EV maker in the world, BYD, trades near 19x.For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.

S&P 500, Nasdaq Futures Dip As Powell Subpoena, Iran Risks Threaten To Hijack Earnings Week

 With Big Bank earnings and inflation data ahead, markets open the week on edge as political and geopolitical shocks steal the spotlight.

Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. (TTWO) shares tumbled more than 6% in after-hours trading on Thursday, as yet another delay in the release of its flagship gaming franchise overshadowed the company’s upbeat fiscal second-quarter results.TTWO Q2 Earnings SnapshotTake-Two reported adjusted earnings per share (EPS) of $1.46, topping estimates of $0.94, on revenue of $1.96 billion versus a consensus of $1.74 billion. Total net bookings rose 33% year-over-year to $1.96 billion, with recurrent consumer spending (RCS) up 20%, accounting for 73% of total bookings. The beat was driven by strong performances from "NBA 2K26", "Mafia: The Old Country", and several mobile titles. However, the company said it would delay the release of "Grand Theft Auto VI" to next year.GTA 6 Is Delayed ... Again"Rockstar Games has announced that Grand Theft Auto VI will now be released on November 19, 2026, giving the team some additional time to finish the game with the high level of polish players expect and deserve," Take-Two said in a statement.&nbsp;Rockstar Games, Take-Two's subsidiary, created the "Grand Theft Auto" franchise, a long-running crime saga set in a fictionalized Miami. The last major entry, "GTA V", was released in September 2013, and fans have been eagerly awaiting its sequel ever since.In the early 2020s, GTA 6 rumors dominated gaming forums and social media, giving rise to the viral meme: "We got X before GTA 6," where X stands in for any unusual development, including rumored alien sightings.During the earnings call, CEO Strauss Zelnick defended the delay, emphasizing quality over deadlines: "Yes, the drivers are a desire to deliver as perfect an entertainment experience as we possibly can," Zelnick said. "It's always painful when we move a date, but we've never regretted it in retrospect. I would like to point out that we have some competitors in the event where more polish was required and required slipping a date, they chose not to slip the date, and they did so at their peril."Zelnick also noted that "GTA V" has now sold 220 million units worldwide, reportedly making it the second-best-selling game ever, behind Mojang Studios' "Minecraft."Some Silver Linings ExistTake-Two announced other positive updates, including "NBA 2K All-Star" in China reaching 8 million registered users within six months, and mobile titles like "Toon Blast", "Match Factory!", "Color Block Jam" and "Empires &amp; Puzzles" are driving significant growth.Analysts at CFRA remained upbeat: "The additional development time positions GTA VI to potentially exceed the franchise's historical ~$1 billion launch-quarter performance," CFRA said, adding that management's raised FY26 net bookings guidance to $6.4–$6.5 billion reflects confidence in execution.No Shortage Of Memes, ThoughStill, the delay dominated online chatter. Social media, including Stocktwits, lit up with memes and jokes about the announcement.

Andrew Cuomo, who ran as an independent, and Republican nominee Curtis Sliwa in the closely watched New York City mayoral election, securing over 50% of the vote.Polls closed at 9 p.m. ET on Tuesday, with voter turnout reaching levels not seen in more than 50 years, according to media reports.Throughout his campaign, Mamdani advocated for a rent freeze on rent-stabilized apartments, free public buses, and the creation of city-owned grocery stores. Those proposals have rattled investors in companies with exposure to New York City’s rent-regulated real estate market, where roughly 1 million apartments are rent-stabilized, CNBC reported.A freeze on rent hikes could weigh on profits. Mamdani’s socialist-leaning platform could also lead to more selective corporate spending and potential outmigration from the city, dampening demand for office space, according to Mizuho’s Vikram Malhotra.Analysts have identified at least four stocks that could see volatility following Mamdani’s victory. Here's what we know about them following recent Q3 results:<h1 class="st-heading-1">Empire State Realty Trust (ESRT)</h1>This New York-based REIT owns, manages, and repositions office and retail properties. Shares closed nearly 1% lower on Election Day and extended losses in after-hours trading.Last week, the company reported Q3 funds from operations (FFO) of $0.23 per share, down from $0.25 a year earlier, while revenue slipped to $197.7 million from $199.6 million. However, Manhattan office occupancy rose 80 basis points sequentially to 90.3%, and total commercial occupancy reached 90.0%.On Stocktwits, retail sentiment remained 'neutral', while message volume remained at normal levels.<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1314/1366;" src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/ESRT_stocktwits_png_5af4b101df.webp" alt="ESRT stocktwits.png" width="1314" height="1366"><figcaption>ESRT stock vs sentiment YTD. | Chart: Stocktwits</figcaption></figure>According to Koyfin, short interest rose from 2.8% at the start of the year to 3.4% last week. Of seven Wall Street analysts, three rate it 'Hold', three rate it 'Buy'/'Strong Buy', and one rates it 'Sell'.<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/ESRT">ESRT stock</a> is down nearly 30% year to date.<h1 class="st-heading-1">Vornado Realty Trust (VNO)</h1>Another major NYC REIT, Vornado owns or manages nearly 20 million square feet of Manhattan office space and 2.4 million square feet of retail properties. Shares fell almost 5% on Election Day and continued to decline after hours.On Monday, the company reported Q3 net income of $11.6 million, swinging from a loss in the prior year. FFO rose, helped by property sales, lease resets, and a master lease deal with NYU at 770 Broadway. Vornado also acquired 623 Fifth Avenue for $218 million, with redevelopment plans underway. The company did not issue forward guidance.On Stocktwits, investor sentiment was 'neutral', while message volume tripled over the past month amid discussions of stock levels and the “Mamdani effect.”<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1312/1362;" src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/VNO_stocktwits_png_2e5ca88787.webp" alt="VNO stocktwits.png" width="1312" height="1362"><figcaption>VNO stock vs sentiment YTD. | Chart: Stocktwits</figcaption></figure>Short interest declined from 7.3% to 3.7% since January.

(SLG)</h1>Calling itself “Manhattan’s largest office landlord,” SL Green owns interests in 53 buildings totaling 30.7 million square feet as of September. Shares dipped 0.3% on Election Day and another 0.6% in extended trading.Last month, the company posted Q3 net income of $0.34 per share, beating estimates, while FFO climbed to $1.58 from $1.13 a year earlier. SLG signed 52 Manhattan office leases totaling 658,000 square feet and entered a $730 million deal to acquire Park Avenue Tower, expected to close in early 2026. It projects Manhattan office occupancy at 93.2% by year-end 2025.Barclays analyst Brendan Lynch recently trimmed the firm’s price target to $59 from $60, maintaining an 'Equal Weight' rating.On Stocktwits, sentiment was 'neutral', with the score slightly lower than at the start of the year, and message volume was 'normal'.<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1316/1368;" src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/SLG_stocktwits_png_552a04ab69.webp" alt="SLG stocktwits.png" width="1316" height="1368"><figcaption>SLG stock vs sentiment YTD. | Chart: Stocktwits</figcaption></figure>Short interest dipped from 9.8% to 8.9%.

(FLG)</h1>Unlike the others, Flagstar is a regional bank with significant exposure to loans tied to rent-stabilized units in New York. Following Mamdani’s primary win in June, those holdings drew a lot of attention, according to a Deutsche Bank note.FLG shares closed 2.4% lower on Tuesday but edged higher in extended trading.Last month, the company posted a slightly wider-than-expected Q3 loss per share, though revenue of $519 million topped forecasts. Tangible book value stood at $17.32, and its CET1 ratio at 12.45%. CEO Joseph Otting highlighted progress on strategic goals and balance sheet improvement.Flagstar recently received approval from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency to merge with Flagstar Bank, with the bank as the surviving entity.On Stocktwits, investor sentiment has turned 'bearish' from&nbsp;'neutral' six months ago, and message volume has remained subdued.<img src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/FLG_stocktwits_png_c80f869b13.webp" alt="FLG stocktwits.png">Short interest has held steady around 12% this year.

MoonLake Immunotherapeutics’ shares plunged about 85% in early premarket trading on Monday after Wall Street analysts panned data from a late-stage trial of its skin drug, setting the stock up for its worst day on record.The company&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/moonlake-immunotherapeutics-stock-buzz-phase-3-skin-drug-sonelokimab-retail-buyout-speculation/chDMkd8R3e6">reported</a> 16-week results from its Phase 3 VELA-1 and VELA-2 trials of sonelokimab in patients with moderate-to-severe hidradenitis suppurativa (HS), also known as acne inversa — a chronic inflammatory condition characterized by painful, boil-like nodules that can rupture, drain pus, and leave scars.In VELA-1, sonelokimab patients achieved a 17-percentage-point higher response rate versus placebo; in VELA-2, the gap was 9 points under the composite analysis. Using the treatment-policy approach, both trials showed statistically significant results: 35% and 36% for sonelokimab versus 18% and 26% for placebo.The mixed data disappointed analysts. Stifel cut its rating to ‘Hold’ from ‘Buy’ and slashed its price target to $13 from $77, saying the results were “significantly worse than expected” and trimming its estimated probability of success for the HS indication to 33% from 75%.RBC Capital also downgraded the stock to ‘Sector Perform’ from ‘Outperform’, and lowered its price target to $10 from $67, calling the results a “near-miss” statistically and warning the drug’s effect size looked uncompetitive.Retail traders on Stocktwits took the opposite view, driving sentiment for MLTX to ‘extremely bullish,’ and the mood is poised to hit the highest level of the year.<figure class="image"><a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MLTX"><img style="aspect-ratio:1300/190;" src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/MLTX_stock_sentiment_and_message_volume_Sep_29_premarket_png_916821fc47.webp" alt="MLTX stock sentiment and message volume Sep 29 premarket.png" width="1300" height="190"></a><figcaption>MLTX stock sentiment and message volume Sep 29 premarket. | source: Stocktwits</figcaption></figure>“These kind of monster plunges are a good chance to make an easy 20% trade.

Tesla Inc. shares rose nearly 1.3% in early premarket trading on Monday, buoyed by bullish retail sentiment as investors weighed fresh developments in its autonomous driving push and a potential political boost.The company has received approval to begin testing autonomous vehicles with safety monitors in Arizona, Bloomberg<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-09-20/tesla-wins-approval-to-test-autonomous-vehicles-in-arizona">&nbsp;reported</a>. Tesla applied for permits from the Arizona Department of Transportation in late June to test and operate self-driving cars, both with and without a driver. Arizona becomes Tesla's third state for autonomous vehicle testing, alongside Texas and Nevada.Adding to the momentum, U.S. President Donald Trump and Tesla CEO Elon Musk appeared&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/trump-musk-reunite-charlie-kirk-memorial-tesla-bulls-circle-of-trust/chDQIRTR3Tz">together</a> publicly for the first time since their high-profile fallout earlier this year. The two shared a handshake and a private suite during the memorial service for conservative activist Charlie Kirk. Musk later posted a photo of himself with Trump on X, captioning it: "For Charlie."Their reunion follows months of tension after Musk blasted Trump's tax-and-spending measure as a "disgusting abomination" for removing EV tax credits, a spat that dented Tesla shares amid fears of regulatory backlash.Retail traders on Stocktwits welcomed the apparent thaw, with Tesla among the most active stocks by trading volume premarket.<figure class="image"><a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/TSLA"><img style="aspect-ratio:1320/930;" src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/TSLA_retail_sentiment_vs_stock_move_YTD_Sep_22_premarket_png_b52cb26763.webp" alt="TSLA retail sentiment vs stock move YTD Sep 22 premarket.png" width="1320" height="930"></a><figcaption>TSLA retail sentiment vs stock move YTD Sep 22 premarket. | source: Stocktwits</figcaption></figure>"The market loves a good reunion!

Starbucks Corp. shares fell for a second consecutive session on Thursday but edged up after hours, with retail traders remaining largely optimistic about the coffee chain's turnaround under new CEO Brian Niccol.There could be more upside heading into Friday, as a Reuters&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.reuters.com/world/china/starbucks-china-valued-about-5-billion-by-bidders-sources-say-2025-09-05/">report</a>, citing two people familiar with the matter, stated that Starbucks' China operations have attracted multiple bidders, valuing the business at up to $5 billion. A deal would help the company monetize a stake in its second-largest market, where it faces sluggish economic growth and fierce competition from local brands.Bloomberg previously&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/Starbucks-china-operations-jd-tencent-kkr-among-potential-investors/chr3YU9RdGt">reported</a> that Starbucks had shortlisted about a dozen firms, including private equity giants Carlyle and KKR, to bid for a potential investment or partnership in China. Starbucks has not publicly commented on the reports.Despite being the U.S. chain's key growth market, China has seen Starbucks lose ground to rivals like&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/LKNCY">Luckin Coffee</a> (LKNCY) and Cotti Coffee, both of which have grown rapidly with cheaper offerings and frequent product launches.On Thursday, Macquarie analyst Linda Huang initiated coverage of Luckin with an 'Outperform' rating and a $52 price target, citing China's coffee boom as per-capita consumption rises.&nbsp;Luckin has already surpassed Starbucks as China's largest coffee chain, operating 26,000 stores as of mid-2025, and is expected to post annual net profit growth of at least 20%, according to Huang.Valuations reflect the divergence:&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/SBUX">Starbucks</a> trades at a forward P/E of 34.8x compared with Luckin's 17x. U.S.-listed shares of Luckin have gained more than 44% this year, while Starbucks shares have slipped by over 4.5%, according to Koyfin.On Stocktwits, sentiment has been contrarian: Starbucks retains a largely ‘bullish’ retail following, while investors remain mostly ‘bearish’ on Luckin.For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.Read Next:&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/trump-warns-of-substantial-chip-tariffs-on-foreign-firms/chw4yVVRdpI">Trump Warns Of ‘Substantial’ Chip Tariffs On Foreign Firms, Says Apple CEO Tim Cook ‘In Pretty Good Shape’</a>
