Cautious Investors Navigated Fed Fueled Volatile Session On Wednesday – ( $ADT $FTAI $GNRC $GOVX $HOOD $MCD $META $MODD $NVDA $ORCL $PLTR $WING Rise!)

By John F. Heerdink, Jr.

Investors navigated a volatile session with major indices retreating from recent highs, as disappointment from earnings and cautious Federal Reserve guidance weighed on sentiment. Technology names fluctuated ahead of critical quarterly results, while macroeconomic headlines and fresh trade developments shaped the day’s trading.

S&P 500, Dow 30, Nasdaq, and Russell Index Performance

The S&P 500 pulled back after a multi-session winning streak, pressured by weakness in tech and industrial giants. The Dow Jones Industrial Average posted a moderate loss of nearly 0.5%, tracking persistent uncertainty in blue-chip names. The Nasdaq Composite dipped as traders digested a mixed set of reports from high-growth leaders, while the Russell 2000 lagged amid a heightened risk-off tone. Volumes surged into the close ahead of Meta’s highly anticipated earnings.

Key Macroeconomic Reports

Economic data took a supporting role with no major U.S. releases on the docket. However, Federal Reserve statements and the latest IMF update remained in focus. The IMF’s global growth outlook held at 3.0% for 2025, while emphasizing lingering risk from episodic trade tensions and subdued capital spending. Robust earlier-week consumer confidence numbers helped temper concerns over moderating business momentum.

Tariffs and Trade Policy Updates

Developments in U.S.-Asia and U.S.-EU trade shaped the mood, with progress in tariff negotiations alleviating immediate fears of escalation but keeping supply-chain vulnerability on the radar. Tesla’s move to diversify battery suppliers away from China was viewed as a strategic hedge amid ongoing tariff uncertainty. The dollar firmed on these cross-currents, reflecting the global response to evolving trade policy and monetary stance.

Yield Curve and Interest Rate Movements

Treasury yields edged lower as investors assessed the Fed’s latest signals. The central bank left interest rates unchanged and expressed a “wait-and-see” approach for September, citing the necessity of additional clarity on inflation and labor markets. This data-dependent tone prompted a flattening in the yield curve, with short-term rates holding steady and longer-term yields dipping modestly as traders hedged against future easing risk.

FOMC Announcements

The Federal Reserve held policy rates steady and gave no firm signal on the timing or likelihood of a future cut. Chair Jerome Powell reiterated that the Committee’s decisions will be grounded in subsequent inflation and employment data, leaving markets to parse every nuance for forward-looking cues.

Sector and Stock Highlights

NVIDIA (NVDA)

NVIDIA hovered near recently set highs closing at $179.27, +2.14% after surging on strong AI chip demand and bullish commentary. The company’s fiscal 2025 revenue soared to a record $130.5 billion, up 114% year over year, positioning NVIDIA as the industry’s AI standard bearer. Analysts flagged ambitious plans around quantum computing and new research centers, supporting continued strength in the company’s long-term outlook.

Tesla (TSLA)

Tesla shares closed at $319.04, -.67%, after news surfaced regarding a new battery supplier and efforts to reduce dependence on China in the face of evolving tariff risks. This move was interpreted as a proactive step, underpinning confidence in Tesla’s capacity to manage global supply chain shifts amidst a choppy automotive demand environment.

Meta Platforms (META)

Meta shares closed down .68%, but reported robust Q2 results after the bell, with revenue rising 22% year over year to $47.5 billion and net income surging 36% to $18.3 billion. Earnings per share came in at $7.14, up 38%. The company’s focus on artificial intelligence, platform engagement, and global expansion reinforced Meta’s leadership in tech, with financial and operational metrics topping forecasts and daily active user growth reaching 3.48 billion. Shares have traded up +12% in the aftermarket.

McDonald’s (MCD)

McDonald’s traded steady closing t $303.61, +.31%, buoyed by defensive investor interest and a resilient business model. The stock’s year-long advance remains closely linked to the company’s re-franchising strategy and ability to hold share despite softer-than-expected same-restaurant sales growth. Analysts remain watchful, balancing optimism on dividends with questions over value positioning amid rising sector competition.

Oracle (ORCL)

Oracle shares saw mild consolidation after recent highs and closed at $250.60, +.25%, with some institutional profit-taking visible in the day’s flow. Optimism surrounding Oracle’s AI and cloud partnerships persists, as the company continues to bag major enterprise contracts. Analysts note that multi-cloud revenue and strategic relationships should underpin Oracle’s medium-term growth, even as markets digest the rapid ascent in the stock’s valuation.

Palantir Technologies (PLTR)

Palantir continued its multi-month rally, rising 1.52% today and up 109.72% year to date. Momentum is driven by strong gains in government and commercial contracts, highlighted by robust Q1 revenue growth and a series of new AI and cloud partnerships. Despite valuation concerns, analyst projections point to ongoing growth with Q2 numbers due in early August, likely to reinforce the software leader’s trajectory.

Rio Tinto Group (RIO)

Rio Tinto’s shares dipped 4.46% to close at $59.49 after the company announced a 16% year-over-year earnings decline to $4.8 billion in its half-year results, reflecting persistent margin pressure in iron ore and minerals. Despite the headwinds, the miner maintained a substantial dividend payout and highlighted improved performance in aluminium and copper divisions. Analysts stressed the company’s robust cash flows and resilient operational profile, even as market focus shifts to commodity price cycles.

Commodities and Digital Assets

  • Gold ended 1.58% lower at $3,327.90/oz.
  • Silver closed at $37.18/oz, -2.90%.
  • Crude oil rose 1.57% to close at $70.30, supported by consistent demand and disciplined supply policies among leading producers.
  • Bitcoin consolidated near recent highs closing at $117,805.00 after hitting over $119k over the last 24 hours, reflecting continued institutional interest and a search for diversification away from traditional risk assets.

Some Top Stock Performances: WING, FTAI, HOOD, GNRC

Wingstop (WING)

Wingstop shares skyrocketed more than 25% today following a stellar second-quarter earnings release. The company reported 12% year-over-year revenue growth to $174.3 million, handily beating analyst expectations. Adjusted earnings per share came in at $1.00, versus estimates of $0.88. The franchise opened a record 129 net new locations in the quarter and raised its full-year global unit growth outlook to the 17–18% range. Investors and analysts alike responded enthusiastically to the solid unit economics and ongoing expansion, pushing WING to the top of today’s leaderboard.

FTAI Aviation (FTAI)

FTAI Aviation surged over 20% after its second-quarter results smashed Wall Street forecasts. The company reported a significant revenue beat at $676.24 million, nearly a quarter above consensus estimates. Earnings per share soared to $1.57, compared to the expected $1.26. Key drivers included robust performance from the Aerospace Products segment and an 81% year-over-year jump in adjusted EBITDA within that division. FTAI’s management reinforced its bullish long-term outlook, highlighting increased CFM56 module production, a healthy cash position, and growing market share.

Robinhood Markets (HOOD)

Robinhood rose roughly 3% in regular trading and ticked up further after hours thanks to a blowout quarter. Revenue jumped 45% year-over-year to $989 million, handily beating the $920 million consensus. Earnings per share doubled to $0.42, well above the $0.30 street view. Notably, surging transaction revenue—spanning stock, options, and crypto trading—drove the top-line gains. Daily active users and engagement grew meaningfully, establishing Robinhood as a prime beneficiary of renewed retail activity and heightened market volatility this year.

Generac Holdings (GNRC)

Generac delivered a standout session, surging nearly 20% and ranking as the S&P 500’s top performer. The backup power generator leader’s second-quarter earnings easily beat expectations, with adjusted earnings at $1.65 per share and revenue jumping 6% to $1.06 billion. Improved gross margins, driven by both strong pricing and lower input costs, contributed to the robust results. Management also raised the low end of full-year EBITDA margin guidance, signaling ongoing confidence in both residential and commercial demand. Positive analyst sentiment and a buy rating upgrade further propelled today’s strength.

Vista Partners Watchlist Highlights & Updates

Eupraxia Pharmaceuticals (EPRX, $5.29, -5.20%) is clinical-stage biotechnology firm headquartered in Victoria, Canada, has quietly become one of the more intriguing stories on both sides of the border in 2025. The company’s shares now trade under the ticker EPRX on both the Nasdaq and the Toronto Stock Exchange, following its U.S. market debut in April 2024. This dual listing has broadened its investor base at a time when the company’s clinical and financial narrative is gaining momentum. All covering analysts currently rate the stock as a “Buy” or better, with not a single “Hold” or “Sell” recommendation in sight. In a sector defined by binary outcomes and frequent disappointment, such unanimity is striking. Overall, analysts cite Eupraxia’s strong clinical pipeline and revenue growth potential as key drivers behind their bullish outlook.

On July 24, Cantor Fitzgerald initiated coverage on Eurpaxia with an Overweight rating and a $11 Price Target. Their report is titled “Set It and Forget It” Approach to EOE & Beyond.” Here are the other analysts that cover Eupraxia currently: 

  • HC Wainwright: Initiated Covrage on EPRX with a “Strong Buy” on June 26, 2025.

  • Canaccord Genuity: Initiated coverage with a “Speculative Buy” rating in June 2025.

  • Raymond James Ltd.: Maintains a “Strong Buy” rating as of June 2025, with a history of upgrades from “Outperform” to “Strong Buy” over the past year.

  • Research Capital Corporation: Maintains a “Buy” rating, consistently reaffirming its positive stance throughout 2024 and 2025.

Eupraxia announced on July 8 that the first patient dosed in their Phase 2b randomized, placebo-controlled portion of the RESOLVE clinical trial evaluating EP-104GI, an investigational treatment for eosinophilic esophagitis (“EoE”). EP-104GI is injected directly into the affected tissues of the esophagus to reduce inflammation with stable, localized, and long-duration drug delivery, while minimizing unwanted systemic adverse events and side effects often associated with steroid-based therapies. The Phase 2b portion of the RESOLVE study will enroll a minimum of 60 participants randomized in a 1:1:1 ratio to receive one of two doses of EP-104GI or placebo. After six months, eligible patients initially dosed with placebo may elect to receive EP-104GI. The primary objective is to assess the efficacy of EP-104GI in improving tissue health, as measured by the Eosinophilic Esophagitis Histology Scoring System (“EoEHSS”). Secondary and exploratory objectives include evaluating symptomatic improvement through patient-reported outcomes — Straumann Dysphagia Index score (SDI) and Dysphagia Symptom Questionnaire (DSQ), endoscopic and histologic changes (including Peak Eosinophil Count, “PEC”), pharmacokinetics, safety, and tolerability of the selected dose regimens. Up to 25 sites globally are expected to participate in the trial.The Phase 2b portion of the study employs an innovative adaptive design to select the doses of EP-104GI that are administered to patients. The first active dose selection was based on available data from cohorts 1 to 8 of the Phase 2a portion of the study. Based on the previously reported safety, pharmacokinetic, and efficacy data from cohorts 1 to 6, and additional one month data from cohorts 7 and 8, the 120 mg dose (20 injections of 6 mg per site) from cohort 8 was selected for the first treatment arm in the dose optimization phase. A second dose will be selected for evaluation after enrollment in the first arm is complete, based on additional long-term data from the Phase 2a portion of the study. James Helliwell, CEO of Eupraxia Pharmaceuticals stated, “Entering into the Phase 2b stage of the RESOLVE trial is a significant event for Eupraxia. This is an important step for us before proceeding towards the pivotal trials necessary for submitting an application for regulatory approval. We are optimistic that EP-104GI has the potential to significantly advance the standard of care and offer a meaningful new treatment paradigm for patients living with EoE.”

Tribe Public hosted a CEO Presentation and Q&A Webinar Event on Wednesday, May 14th with James A. Helliwell, Director and CEO of Eupraxia Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: EPRX). The event is titled “Hard To Swallow: An Underdiagnosed Condition Rising To Surface (EOE).”  You may view it now at https://youtu.be/tCtY_27EJG4?si=0PJIp-oyGDEpzxzR

Modular Medical, Inc. (NASDAQ: MODD, $.70, +0.00%), an insulin delivery system technology company preparing to launch a market expansion product with a more accessible, easier to prescribe, and easier to pay for and live with technology. Using its patented technologies, the company seeks to eliminate the tradeoff between complexity and efficacy, thereby making top quality insulin delivery both affordable and simple to learn. Their mission is to improve access to the highest standard of glycemic control for people with diabetes taking it beyond “superusers” and providing “diabetes care for the rest of us.” Modular Medical was founded by Paul DiPerna, a seasoned medical device professional and microfluidics engineer. Prior to founding Modular Medical, Mr. DiPerna was the founder (in 2005) of Tandem Diabetes and invented and designed its t:slim insulin pump. More information is available at https://modular-medical.com

On June 16, Modular Medical announced its participation in the American Diabetes Association (“ADA”) 85th Scientific Sessions, taking place June 20-23, 2025, at the McCormick Place Convention Center in Chicago, Illinois. The Company will feature a poster, number 783-P, titled “Elucidating the potential benefit of pump-delivered subcutaneous GLP-1R agonist: an exploratory study in the diet-induced obese mouse,” to be presented by David Maggs, MD, FRCP during the General Poster Session on Sunday, June 22, 2025, from 12:30pm to 1:30pm in the Poster Hall. The presentation will highlight data from an exploratory study evaluating the effects of pump-delivery of a short-acting GLP-1RA on weight, food intake, and glucose tolerance in a diet-induced obese (“DIO”) mouse.”We are excited to share our findings from this novel study in the DIO mouse comparing the pump delivery of exenatide to intermittent dosing of semaglutide,” said Jeb Besser, CEO of Modular Medical. “Given the high rate of gastrointestinal tolerability challenges and resultant discontinuation that is characteristic of GLP-1 therapy, we believe that a personalized approach to GLP-1 titration and dosing, including a mealtime bolus option, would give patients an opportunity to reach their treatment goals, while experiencing easier therapy initiation and a more tolerable maintenance regimen.”

After the close May 28, Modular Medical announced the appointment of Jeff Goldberg to its Board of Directors. Mr. Goldberg brings decades of experience in health care, life sciences, and medical device leadership, including development of generic insulin. Mr. Goldberg began his work in medical technology alongside pioneering medical entrepreneur, and founder of MiniMed, Alfred E. Mann. Mr. Goldberg currently serves as Chairman of Lannett Company, Inc., a generic pharmaceutical manufacturer where he has helped execute a post-restructuring turnaround. During his tenure, Lannett has made significant strides in launching a generic insulin product – progress that aligns closely with Modular Medical’s commitment to innovation and affordability in diabetes care. In addition to his work at Lannett, Mr. Goldberg previously served as President and CEO within Alfred E. Mann’s incubator, IncuMed, where he oversaw multiple portfolio companies focused on drug-device combination products, including an insulin patch-pump program. His tenure with Mr. Mann’s enterprises included pivotal roles in regulatory strategy, operations turnaround, and successful exits, underscoring his ability to guide early-stage technologies to commercial viability. Mr. Goldberg also serves on the boards of several health-care and consumer-focused companies, including ATI Physical Therapy, Cano Health, and Eating Recovery Centers. He holds a JD from UCLA School of Law and an AB from Harvard College. Mr. Goldberg stated,  “Modular Medical is advancing a truly disruptive approach to insulin delivery. I’m excited to join the board and contribute to the Company’s journey toward simplifying treatment for people living with diabetes, particularly as the industry shifts toward more accessible and patient-friendly solutions.”

GeoVax Labs, Inc. (Nasdaq: GOVX, $.7651, +1.81% on 1.9M shares of trading) is a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing immunotherapies and vaccines against cancers and infectious diseases.

On July 30, GeoVax renewed its call for decisive U.S. action on pandemic preparedness and biodefense. With escalating outbreak risks, public health system strain, and growing bipartisan consensus for domestic solutions, GeoVax underscored the urgent need to modernize the nation’s countermeasure infrastructure and end foreign vaccine dependency. GeoVax’s Modified Vaccinia Ankara (MVA)-based vaccine platform anchors two front-line candidates: GEO-MVA for Mpox/smallpox, designed to protect against both Clade I and II Mpox strains. GEO-CM04S1, a multi-antigen, next-generation COVID-19 vaccine targeting the 40 million U.S. immunocompromised through robust, durable, antibody and T-celldriven immune protection.

On July 29, GeoVax announced an expedited development strategy for its GEO-MVA Mpox vaccine candidate, following newly reaffirmed global emergency status by the World Health Organization (WHO), a record-setting surge in Mpox cases across Africa, and recent favorable scientific advice from the European Medicines Agency (EMA) supporting an expedited development path for GEO-MVA.

After the close on July 28, GeoVax announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2025, and provided a business update. “The second quarter marked a pivotal period for GeoVax, with compelling clinical data and regulatory milestones reinforcing the strength of our pipeline and our focus on accelerating to commercial status,” said David Dodd, GeoVax’s Chairman and CEO. “The favorable European regulatory guidance for GEO-MVA, robust immune responses demonstrated by GEO-CM04S1 in immunocompromised patients, particularly those with Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL), and the continued progress towards initiation of the Gedeptin(R) Phase 2 trial highlight our expanding footprint in oncology and global infectious disease preparedness. These achievements reflect our commitment to advancing innovative, vaccines and immunotherapies that address urgent and underserved medical needs.

On July 28 (morning), GeoVax announced the initiation of a research program to evaluate the immunogenicity and stability of GEO-MVA delivered via Vaxxas’ proprietary high-density microarray patch (HD-MAP) platform in preclinical models.

On July 24, GeoVax announced a strategic shift in its Gedeptin(R) clinical development program, with a new emphasis on evaluating Gedeptin as a neoadjuvant therapy in combination with pembrolizumab for patients with primary, resectable head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). The revised strategy follows the landmark results of the KEYNOTE-689 Phase 3 trial, published in the New England Journal of Medicine on June 18, 2025, which demonstrated a significant improvement in event-free survival (EFS) with the addition of perioperative pembrolizumab in resectable, locally advanced HNSCC patients. These data represent the first validated use of PD-1 inhibition in curative-intent HNSCC and have catalyzed a major shift in treatment paradigms toward neoadjuvant immunotherapy.

On July, 21, GeoVax reinforced the strategic and commercial significance of the recent positive Scientific Advice (SA) received from the European Medicines Agency (EMA) for its GEO-MVA vaccine targeting Mpox and smallpox. The EMA’s feedback indicated that a single Phase 3 immuno-bridging trial, bypassing the need for Phase 1 and 2 studies, may be sufficient to support a Marketing Authorization Application (MAA) under the EU’s centralized procedure. The ability to proceed without Phase 1 and 2 clinical trials substantially reduces development risk and timelines, positioning GeoVax to achieve product commercialization and revenue generation significantly earlier than previously anticipated. Immuno-bridging studies allow for vaccine approval by the immune response elicited by a candidate vaccine comparable to that of an already approved vaccine. This approach, when accepted by regulatory authorities, can reduce the need for large-scale efficacy trials, thereby reducing development time while maintaining regulatory standards for safety and immunogenicity. “This EMA guidance is more than a regulatory milestone; it represents a potential commercial inflection point,” said David Dodd, Chairman and CEO of GeoVax. “We now have a clear, expedited path to commercialization in one of the world’s largest vaccine markets. With the Phase 3 trial in operational preparation, we are entering a potential revenue acceleration phase supported by growing global demand, regulatory momentum, and our progressing advanced MVA manufacturing platform.”


Indaptus Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: INDP, $8.98) is a company with the ability to harness both the body’s innate and adaptive immune responses, believes that they are uniquely positioned to revolutionize the treatment of cancer and certain infectious diseases.

On July 1, Indaptus announced the additional sale of approximately $3.4 million in aggregate principal amount of convertible promissory notes and accompanying warrants. Together with a prior sale of $2.3 million of convertible promissory notes and accompanying warrants, the Company raised an aggregate of $5.7 million in gross proceeds in this offering.

On June 2, Indaptus announced that the first patient has been dosed in the expansion arm of its Phase 1b/2 clinical trial evaluating Decoy20 in combination with BeOne’s (formerly known as Beigene) PD-1 checkpoint inhibitor, tislelizumab. This newly activated arm of the trial will assess safety, dose optimization, and early signs of anti-tumor activity in patients with advanced solid tumors, previously treated with a checkpoint inhibitor or with tumors typically unresponsive to a checkpoint inhibitor. Jeffrey Meckler, Indaptus’ CEO commented, “This is an important milestone in our clinical development. We have long believed the Decoy platform has the potential to be a game-changing approach to treating solid tumors. Preclinical data consistently demonstrated that Decoy20 works synergistically with a checkpoint inhibitor. Now, for the first time, we are testing this combination in patients. Checkpoint inhibitors, like tislelizumab, have been one of the biggest breakthroughs in cancer therapy and have significantly improved outcomes in a variety of cancers. However, most patients still do not benefit. We believe the combination of Decoy20 plus a PD-1 inhibitor, such as tislelizumab, could enhance immune responses, potentially helping patients who have not responded or have tumors that classically do not respond to checkpoint inhibitor therapy.”
