| SBSW... | Hot Stocks20:04 EDT Fly Intel: Top five weekend stock stories - Catch up on the weekend's top five stories with this list compiled by The Fly: 1. Sibanye-Stillwater (SBSW) is in advanced talks to buy two Brazilian miners for about $1 billion including debt, a bet on continued demand for metals used in the production of electric-car batteries, The Wall Street Journal's Ben Dummett and Joe Wallace reported, citing people familiar with the matter. The miner would acquire Atlantic Nickel, which operates the Santa Rita mine, one of the world's biggest open-pit nickel sulfide mines, and Mineracao Vale Verde, which is developing a copper-and-gold mine, the people said. 2. According to researchers, Facebook's (FB) products in India were awash with inflammatory content that one report linked to deadly religious riots, The Wall Street Journal's Newley Purnell and Jeff Horwitz reported. Inflammatory content on Facebook spiked 300% above previous levels at times during the months following December 2019, a period in which religious protests swept India, researchers wrote in a July 2020 report that was reviewed by The Wall Street Journal. Rumors and calls to violence spread particularly on Facebook's WhatsApp messaging service in late February 2020, when communal violence in Delhi left 53 dead, according to the report. India is Facebook's biggest market with hundreds of millions of users. 3. Intel (INTC) fell nearly 10% Friday after the microprocessor company forecast disappointing earnings for its fourth quarter, Eric Savitz wrote in this week's edition of Barron's. Intel's woes come at a delicate moment for the PC sector, which saw a remarkable surge in demand during the pandemic, the author noted. Apple (AAPL), Dell Technologies (DELL) and HP Inc. (HPQ) all saw a spike in laptop sales over the past 18 months, as people shifted to working and learning from home. Many investors doubt that the boom can last, a view seemingly validated by Intel's forecast, but HP suggests otherwise, the publication adds. Once primarily driven by its printer ink and toner business, it's showing an "impressive surge" in innovation, Savitz contended. Thursday, HP held its first analyst meeting in two years, and had surprisingly good news that drove the stock up 7%, the publication pointed out. With an improving growth story, shareholder-friendly policies, and one of the cheapest stocks in the tech sector, HP looks like "a screaming buy," the author argued. 4. AT&T (T) subsidiary Warner Bros.' "Dune" won the domestic box office with a strong $40.1M debut despite its dual release as it opened simultaneously in 4,125 theaters across North America and on streamer HBO Max. Globally, the movie moved past the $100M mark after opening previously in earlier markets. "Dune" grossed another $47.4M from 75 markets overseas for a foreign cume of $180.6M and $220.2M globally. 5. Chesapeake (CHK) and Infineon (IFNNY) saw positive mentions in this week's edition of Barron's.

| PHAT | Hot Stocks16:42 EDT Phathom Pharmaceuticals announces data from Phase 3 PHALCON-HP trial - Phathom Pharmaceuticals announced data from the PHALCON-HP Phase 3 study, the largest U.S. registrational trial ever conducted for H. pylori, that will be presented during an oral session at the ACG 2021 Annual Scientific Meeting organized by the American College of Gastroenterology, in Las Vegas, Nevada, Oct. 22-27. PHALCON-HP showed that both vonoprazan in combination with amoxicillin and clarithromycin and vonoprazan in combination with amoxicillin demonstrated superior eradication rates in all patients compared to a current standard of care therapy consisting of the proton pump inhibitor, lansoprazole, in combination with amoxicillin and clarithromycin. In the primary endpoint analyses of the PHALCON-HP study comparing the non-inferiority of vonoprazan-based therapies to lansoprazole triple therapy in patients with H. pylori without strains resistant to antibiotics, eradication rates with vonoprazan triple therapy and vonoprazan dual therapy were 84.7% and 78.5%, respectively, compared to 78.8% for lansoprazole triple therapy. In the secondary endpoint analyses comparing the superiority of vonoprazan-based therapies to lansoprazole triple therapy in all patients, eradication rates with vonoprazan triple therapy and dual therapy were 80.8% and 77.2%, respectively, compared to 68.5% for lansoprazole triple therapy. Both vonoprazan-based regimens were generally well tolerated with a safety profile comparable to lansoprazole-based triple therapy in the trial. Phathom is also presenting results from the Study of Acid-Related Disorders which explored perceptions of disease burden for H. pylori and erosive esophagitis among physicians and patients. Physicians completed an online survey recording treatment goals, preferences, satisfaction, and perceived disease burden. A subset completed chart review data of patients with H. pylori and dyspepsia or erosive esophagitis who had received a PPI as part of their treatment. The same patients completed a survey capturing data on treatment goals, satisfaction, and adherence. In this study, only 29% of physicians strongly agreed that they were satisfied with current H. pylori treatment options and 57% of patients stated they were not completely satisfied. When it came to erosive esophagitis, 84% of patients wanted long-lasting treatment options while only 44% considered their current therapy a long-lasting solution for their disease. The study uncovered many unmet needs from the perspective of both physicians and patients in the treatment of H. pylori and erosive esophagitis suggesting that new treatment options are needed.

| XPEV | Hot Stocks08:39 EDT XPeng planning to go beyond cars with flying car, robot - XPeng revealed a series of innovations at its annual 1024 Tech Day, including the latest version of its in-house developed advanced driver assistance system XPILOT 3.5 and XPILOT 4.0, the design of new generation road-capable flying car, major supercharging technology breakthroughs, and robotic innovations, forming the key components of the company's smart mobility ecosystem. In the first half of 2022, XPeng will be rolling out XPILOT 3.5, extending XPILOT's driver assistance system to support China's complex driving scenarios in major roads in the city. XPILOT 3.5 incorporates the industry's first mass-produced quadruple perception fusion solution, with dual-camera-vision coverage, complemented by LiDAR and millimeter-wave radar sensors. With the world's first LiDAR perception system in a mass production model, XPILOT 3.5 will deliver deep information fusion in a 3D drivable space. Planned for roll-out in the first half of 2023, XPILOT 4.0 is designed to deliver full-scenario driver assistance which can support point-to-point driving for customers. XPILOT 4.0 will be built on a comprehensive hardware upgrade, with 508 TOPS ECU computing power supported by two Orin-X autonomous driving SoC units, 8-million-pixel front-view binocular camera and 2.9-million-pixel side-view cameras, and a highly integrated and expandable domain controller. The hardware upgrade will again significantly increase XPILOT's perception capability on top of its market-leading multiple-perception fusion platform. XPeng also noted that the evolving smart mobility ecosystem depends on highly efficient and full-coverage power infrastructure, and to deliver this goal, the company will introduce China's first 800V high-voltage mass-production SiC platform, with new-generation "X-Power" superchargers able to charge for a range of up to 200 km in just 5 minutes. To maximize the utility of the 800V SiC platform, XPeng will also roll out lightweight 480 kW high-voltage supercharging piles with IP67 protection, and safety monitoring, delivering a superior safe and convenient charging experience for customers. Supporting this supercharging network, XPeng will also launch power storage facilities in both piles and mobile vehicles. At the Tech Day, XPeng also unveiled the new generation flying car design developed by its affiliate Urban Air Mobility company HT Aero.
