Shares of Humacyte Inc. (HUMA) tumbled nearly 11% on Friday despite the company reporting a narrower-than-expected loss.

The company, which has not generated revenue in the past two years, reported a net loss of $20.9 million for the fourth quarter, compared to $25.11 million for the corresponding quarter of 2023.

Net loss per share came in at $0.16, lower than the $0.24 loss in the corresponding period of 2023 and below the consensus estimate of $0.25, according to FinChat data.

Research and development expenses in the quarter were $20.7 million, slightly higher than the $20.2 million reported in the corresponding quarter of 2023.

Humacyte is a commercial-stage biotechnology platform developing universally implantable bioengineered human tissues.

The company received approval from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for Symvess, an acellular tissue-engineered vessel for the treatment of extremity vascular trauma, late last year, and commenced its commercial launch earlier this year

CEO Laura Niklason said that the commercial launch of Symvess is proceeding at full speed.

“So far the market has responded well, and 34 hospitals have already initiated the Value Analysis Committee (VAC) approval process,” Niklason said.

However, earlier this week, The New York Times published a report questioning the FDA’s approval for Symvess, alleging that the agency’s scientists flagged questionable study results and potential fatal ruptures of the product.

Humasys CEO, on Thursday, said in a statement that the company believes strongly in both the safety and effectiveness of their product.

“An independent safety review committee concluded that any instances of amputation or patient death were due to the underlying injuries and complications, and not due to Symvess,” she said. 

HUMA shares have declined nearly 47% in the last five trading sessions.

On Stocktwits, retail investor sentiment about Humacyte rose marginally within the ‘bullish’ territory (69/100), while message volume remained at the ‘extremely high’ levels over the past 24 hours.

On Stocktwits, a user expressed optimism on the stock.

Another user opined that the earnings call made them feel better about the stock, but the negative press is too much to get over immediately.

LucasRMcCainMar 28, 2025 2:31 PM

$HUMA I liked the call and feel better but I think the negative press plus dilution too much to overcome short term without more sales clarity. I’ll put in my low guess of $1.50. Nevertheless I will continue to hold and maybe buy more once we finally hit bottom and start bouncing back up.

HUMA shares are down over 60% this year and over 40% over the past 12 months.

Shares of Hyperscale Data (GPUS) fell more than 2% in midday trading Friday, breaking a three-day rally, despite the company announcing the successful installation of Nvidia GPUs for a high-performance computing (HPC) customer. 

The decline came amid broader market weakness as analysts flagged concerns over 'stagflation.'

“This milestone marks a significant step in the company’s strategic transformation of its Michigan data center into a cutting-edge artificial intelligence and high-performance computing facility,” Hyperscale Data said in a statement.

According to the company, the initial deployment of Nvidia GPUs is part of a broader effort to expand infrastructure that supports the increasing computational demands of enterprise and cloud-native applications and shift away from dependency on Bitcoin (BTC) mining revenue. 

Hyperscale’s Michigan data center currently operates with approximately 28 megawatts (MW) of power.

In February, Hyperscale Data’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Alliance Cloud Services (ACS), reached an agreement in principle with a local natural gas utility to expand energy capacity for the Michigan data center by an additional 40 megawatts. 

Once finalized, this expansion would increase ACS's power capacity from approximately 30 MW to about 340 MW within 18 months. The company is also exploring options to further expand energy capabilities by an additional 85 MW.

“The first successful installation of these servers for our customer is a large step in the right direction for the company and its transition to a pure-play data center business,” said CEO William B. Horne. 

Earlier this month, Hyperscale Data secured a listing extension from the NYSE American, allowing it until June 2026 to regain compliance with the exchange’s listing standards. 

The company submitted a plan detailing how it intends to meet stockholder equity requirements of at least $6 million. 

On Stocktwits, retail sentiment around the stock improved to ‘bullish’ from ‘neutral’ a day ago.

Despite the sentiment shift, Hyperscale Data shares remain under pressure, having lost more than 60% over the past year and nearly 50% in 2025.

NYSE-listed shares of British oil and gas major Shell PLC (SHEL) traded nearly 1% lower on Friday after activist investor Elliott Investment Management reportedly took a short position of £850 million ($1.1 billion) against the company.

According to a report by The Times, which cited filings with the U.K.’s Financial Conduct Authority, Elliott’s position against Shell is worth 0.5% of the company’s stock. It represents the biggest short position disclosed against the oil major in nearly a decade.

The short position comes after Elliott is believed to have acquired a near 5% stake in BP. The activist investor has been reportedly ramping up pressure on the company after its new strategy fell short of expectations.

Elliott viewed BP CEO Murray Auchincloss’s turnaround plan as lacking urgency and ambition.
The report added that Auchincloss and Chairman Helge Lund, one of the principal backers of the company’s now-criticized net-zero strategy, could come under pressure.

Meanwhile, it was also reported that Elliott had taken a short position against French oil major TotalEnergies.

On Stocktwits, retail sentiment surrounding Shell dipped into the ‘neutral’ territory (51/100) from ‘bullish’ a day ago.

Shell recently announced it would raise shareholder distributions to 40% to 50% of cash flow from operations from 30% to 40% while maintaining a 4% per annum progressive dividend policy.

The company also raised the cost reduction target from $2 billion to $3 billion by the end of 2025 to a cumulative $5 billion to $7 billion by the end of 2028, compared to 2022.

Shell's NYSE-listed shares have gained over 15% in 2025 and are up over 8% in the past 12 months.

Wolfspeed (WOLF) shares lost nearly half their market capitalization on Friday morning, reaching a record low of $2.83, as speculation mounted that the company had lost access to CHIPs Act funding and could face bankruptcy. 

The sharp decline came within hours of the U.S. market opening, pushing it to the top of the trending tickers list on Stocktwits.

The company has responded to the rumours, stating that it "continues to explore alternatives with regard to its convertible notes, in partnership with its advisors, and remains in a dialogue with lenders, including Apollo and Renesas."

"The Company also maintains constructive dialogue with the White House, its legislators, and the U.S. Department of Commerce to secure federal funding and on ways Wolfspeed can support the Trump Administration's efforts to reinforce U.S. industrial leadership in semiconductors, secure domestic supply chains, and reshore the manufacturing of critical mineral derivatives, including semiconductor wafers," it said reaffirming its third quarter (Q3) revenue guidance of between $170 million to $200 million.

The sell-off comes on the heels of Wolfspeed's appointment of Robert Feurle as its incoming CEO on Thursday, replacing Executive Chair Thomas Werner on May 1.

Concerns over Wolfspeed’s access to CHIPs Act grants surfaced in January when reports suggested some funding allocations were in "limbo" due to the Trump administration's efforts to curb federal spending. 

Wolfspeed had sought up to $750 million in direct funding from the U.S. Department of Commerce under the CHIPS and Science Act. 

The funding was intended to support the company’s silicon carbide manufacturing expansion in North Carolina and New York – key projects for advancing clean energy technologies and electric vehicles.

During the company’s second-quarter (Q2) earnings call, Werner emphasized Wolfspeed’s strategy to secure CHIPs funding and strengthen its financial position. 

“We have already made significant progress on these initiatives, evidenced by our completion of our $200 million at-the-market equity offering, which puts us one step closer to finalizing our CHIPS funding,” Werner said. 

However, multiple Wall Street firms lowered their price targets on Wolfspeed following its mixed Q2 earnings report and guidance. 

Earlier this month, the company announced job cuts in an effort to achieve positive free cash flow more quickly.

On Stocktwits, retail sentiment around Wolfspeed’s stock improved but remained in ‘bearish’ territory as chatter increased.

Users debated whether the stock’s sharp decline was tied to the potential loss of CHIPs funding or fears of bankruptcy.

GoldenKnightsFanMar 28, 2025 2:21 PM

$WOLF So what is the reason for the crash today, loss of CHIPS funding or bankruptcy? Thanks for your answers. Bullish

One user speculated that Wolfspeed’s stock might find support around $2 but questioned who would be willing to buy, given the uncertainty surrounding bankruptcy rumors.

Wolfspeed shares have lost nearly all their value over the past year, falling more than 90%. The stock is down nearly 60% in 2025.

Altcoins slid during U.S. trading hours on Friday after inflation data reinforced concerns over persistent price pressures, adding to market uncertainty and dragging Bitcoin down to $85,000.

The Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) Price Index, the Federal Reserve’s preferred inflation gauge, rose 2.5% year over year in February, according to data released Friday by the Bureau of Economic Analysis. According to Reuters, economists surveyed by FactSet expected annual price growth to be 2.5%, the same pace as January.

On a monthly basis, headline PCE inflation rose 0.3%, also in line with forecasts.

Core PCE inflation, which strips out food and energy costs and is viewed as a more stable measure of price trends, climbed 2.8% year over year. 

Monthly core inflation increased 0.4%, slightly above the consensus estimate of 0.3%.

The data also pointed to resilient consumer spending. Personal consumption expenditures rose by $87.8 billion, or 0.4%, in February, exceeding expectations of a 0.3% increase and rebounding from a 0.3% decline in January.

The inflation report weighed on cryptocurrencies, which were already weighed down over tariff concerns, with Bitcoin (BTC) falling 1.6% over the past 24 hours to trade around $85,000, according to CoinGecko. 

Ethereum's native token, Ether (ETH), saw a sharper decline of over 6%, breaking below the psychologically significant $2,000 level.

Among major altcoins, Chainlink (LINK) was the hardest hit, dropping over 8%, followed by Avalanche (AVAX), which fell more than 7%. Sui (SUI), Dogecoin (DOGE), and Litecoin (LTC) each lost around 6% over the same period.

On Stocktwits, retail sentiment around Bitcoin edged higher but remained in ‘neutral’ territory as chatter slid to ‘extremely low’ levels. 

One user warned that mounting uncertainty could tip the economy into a recession – if one hasn’t already begun.

Shares of Tesla Inc (TSLA) drew investor attention on Friday after Deutsche Bank lowered the its price target on the stock to $345 from $420 while keeping a ‘Buy’ rating on the shares.

Deutsche Bank expects the company’s first-quarter (Q1) deliveries to be in the range of 340,000 to 350,000, but below consensus of 398,000 units. Auto margin will be under greater pressure owing to the lower delivery numbers, the brokerage said, as per TheFly.

Deutsche Bank also reset volume expectations for the full year based on weaker demand trends and a slower launch cadence for a cheaper vehicle model.

For the full year, the firm now models Tesla's deliveries declining 5% year-over-year to 1.7 million, assuming a staggered rollout for its cheaper electric vehicle starting in the U.S., and then Europe, and China.

The firm said that Tesla shares have been under pressure, driven by much weaker auto volumes, a broader de-rating in growth assets, and political uncertainty.

"Rarely anything at Tesla happens in a straight line and we would not expect robotaxi or humanoid to be linear," the firm added.

RBC Capital on Friday said that it expects first quarter deliveries at 364,000 units, higher than Deutsche’s estimates.

The brokerage noted that the company’s deliveries in the first two months of the year were impacted by shutdowns to prepare for the production of its refreshed Model Y vehicle.

RBC Capital has an ‘Outperform’ rating on the shares with a  $320 price target.

In the first quarter of 2024, Tesla delivered 386,810 vehicles globally, including 17,027 units of its higher-end Model S, X, and Cybertruck vehicles.

For 2024, the company reported global deliveries of 1.79 million vehicles, down from full-year deliveries of 1.81 million in 2023, marking the first decline in over a decade.

Tesla said in January that its plans for new vehicles, including more affordable models, remain “on track” for the start of production in the first half of 2025. The company has not provided more details on the new vehicles since.

On Stocktwits, retail sentiment about Tesla jumped from ‘bullish’ to ‘extremely bullish’ territory (77/100) while message volume remained at ‘normal’ levels over the past 24 hours.

A Stocktwits user, however,  expressed pessimism about the shares, expecting it to fall below $220.

Tesla shares are down over 25% this year but have gained over 50% in the past 12 months.
