19:32 EST Fly Intel: Top five weekend stock stories - Catch up on the weekend's top five stories with this list compiled by The Fly: 1. Regeneron Pharmaceuticals (REGN) announced that the antibody cocktail casirivimab and imdevimab administered together, a therapy currently being investigated for use in COVID-19, has received Emergency Use Authorization from the Food and Drug Administration. Casirivimab and imdevimab administered together are authorized for the treatment of mild to moderate COVID-19 in adults, as well as in pediatric patients at least 12 years of age and weighing at least 40 kg, who have received positive results of direct SARS-CoV-2 viral testing and are at high risk for progressing to severe COVID-19 and/or hospitalization. Regeneron expects to have REGEN-COV2 treatment doses ready for approximately 80,000 patients by the end of November, approximately 200,000 patients by the first week of January, and approximately 300,000 patients in total by the end of January 2021. 2. CoStar Group (CSGP) announced that it has reached an agreement to acquire Homesnap for $250M in cash. "The acquisition of Homesnap will enable us to enter a new space and expand the total addressable markets in which we can compete," said CoStar Group founder and CEO, Andy Florance. "The estimated value of commercial real estate assets in the U.S. is $16 trillion. With the new addition of clients and information covering 90% of the estimated $27 trillion dollar U.S. residential real estate market we are almost tripling the size of our addressable markets." 3. The return of Boeing's (BA) 737 MAX was supposed to bring clarity for investors, and yet it has done anything but, Al Root wrote in this week's edition of Barron's. There are certainly tough days ahead for Boeing, with air-travel demand still a fraction of what it was pre-pandemic, and Boeing's net debt ballooning to about $34B from $8B before the second crash, the author noted. Cash flow and profit margins will be affected by the MAX mess for years. But a lot of bad news is already reflected in the shares, the publication added. 4. Blackstone (BX) is doubling down on Asia, seeking to raise at least $5B for its second private equity fund focused on the region, Bloomberg's Cathy Chan and Baiju Kalesh reported, citing people familiar with the matter. 5. Walmart (WMT), Amazon.com (AMZN), Simon Property Group (SPG), Huntington Bancshares (HBAN), Fifth Third Bancorp (FITB), Citizens Financial (CFG), Synovus Financial (SNV), Truist Financial (TFC) saw positive mentions in this week's edition of Barron's.

16:03 EST CoStar Group agrees to acquire Homesnap for $250M in cash - CoStar Group announced that it has reached an agreement to acquire Homesnap for $250M in cash. "The acquisition of Homesnap will enable us to enter a new space and expand the total addressable markets in which we can compete," said CoStar Group founder and CEO, Andy Florance. "The estimated value of commercial real estate assets in the U.S. is $16 trillion. With the new addition of clients and information covering 90% of the estimated $27 trillion dollar U.S. residential real estate market we are almost tripling the size of our addressable markets. Over the past thirty years, CoStar has become the leading real estate technology platform by working in partnership with commercial real estate brokers to serve their needs for data, analytics and advertising exposure for their property listings. Similarly, Homesnap works in very close partnership with residential agents to serve their needs for data, analytics and advertising exposure for their property listings. We will continue to differentiate our residential real estate portal and solutions by working solely to help agents market their listings and their brands, which is in sharp contrast to other portals that increasingly advertise on top of agent listings and offer brokerage services directly." The addition of Homesnap's complementary offerings will quadruple the number of professional, paying brokers and active agent users on the CoStar Group U.S. platforms from approximately 100,000 today to over 400,000. The number of U.S. property listings available across CoStar's brands will double from approximately 1.35 million today to over 2.6 million. "Homesnap has great relationships, data, software, and tools for residential real estate professionals that are complementary to our existing offerings," continued Florance. "The tools and functionality developed by Homesnap for residential property agents, such as lead generation, client collaboration, and digital advertising, have direct applicability to commercial brokers. Our goal is to make these enhanced capabilities available to all of our audiences. Combining forces with Homesnap is also expected to enable us to expand and deepen our collaboration with MLSs nationwide. A very large percentage of CoStar's clients such as investors, banks, government agencies, appraisers, suppliers, and brokerage firms are active in both commercial and residential real estate, so we believe that they would welcome a more comprehensive solution for their needs across all real estate segments." "Homesnap has spent years building tools that reinforce the agent-client relationship and arm both home buyers and agents with the data and software they need to find homes and do their jobs," said John Mazur, CEO of Homesnap. "In addition, residential property agents spend an estimated $10 billion every year on software and marketing, while influencing a further $21 billion of spending in adjacent markets, such as lending, insurance and relocation services. We are excited to join CoStar Group and leverage their 30 years of knowledge and experience in property data, software and marketing to take advantage of this significant growth opportunity." Homesnap is also headquartered in the Washington, D.C. area, employs approximately 150 people and is projected to achieve approximately $40 million of revenue for the full year 2020, representing revenue growth of approximately 45% compared to the full year 2019. The transaction is expected to close in 2020, subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory review.

08:47 EST Regeneron receives Emergency Use Authorization for Covid antibody cocktail - Regeneron Pharmaceuticals announced that the antibody cocktail casirivimab and imdevimab administered together, a therapy currently being investigated for use in COVID-19, has received Emergency Use Authorization from the Food and Drug Administration. Casirivimab and imdevimab administered together are authorized for the treatment of mild to moderate COVID-19 in adults, as well as in pediatric patients at least 12 years of age and weighing at least 40 kg, who have received positive results of direct SARS-CoV-2 viral testing and are at high risk for progressing to severe COVID-19 and/or hospitalization. "The clinical evidence from Regeneron's outpatient trial suggests that monoclonal antibodies such as REGEN-COV2 have the greatest benefit when given early after diagnosis and in patients who have not yet mounted their own immune response or who have high viral load," Regeneron said in a statement. Regeneron expects to have REGEN-COV2 treatment doses ready for approximately 80,000 patients by the end of November, approximately 200,000 patients by the first week of January, and approximately 300,000 patients in total by the end of January 2021. REGEN-COV2 continues to be evaluated in Phase 2/3 clinical trials for the treatment of COVID-19 in certain hospitalized and non-hospitalized patients, the Phase 3 open-label RECOVERY trial of hospitalized patients in the UK, and a Phase 3 trial for the prevention of COVID-19 in household contacts of infected individuals. To date, more than 7,000 people have participated in REGEN-COV2 clinical trials.
