Biktarvy was Gilead’s best-selling drug in 2024. Biktarvy sales increased 13% year-over-year to $13.4 billion for the full year 2024.

Qualcomm (QCOM) is reportedly facing a £480 million ($647.07 million) lawsuit in London, U.K., filed on behalf of smartphone users, alleging that the chipmaker leveraged its market dominance to compel Apple (AAPL) and Samsung to pay inflated royalties.According to a Reuters report, the case is being brought by the British consumer group Which?, whose lawyers claim that around 29 million individuals who purchased iPhones or Samsung devices since 2015 may be eligible for compensation.The report added that the group claims Qualcomm enforced a 'no licence, no chips' policy globally, requiring manufacturers to pay inflated royalties even when its chips were not included in the devices.Retail sentiment on <a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/QCOM">Qualcomm</a> remained unchanged in the ‘extremely bullish’ territory compared to a day ago, with message volumes at ‘normal’ levels, according to data from Stocktwits.

Streamex described the token as an institutional-grade, physically backed gold asset that combines the stability of traditional gold investments with blockchain-enabled yield and liquidity.According to the company, GLDY aims to provide an alternative to conventional gold exposure products such as exchange-traded funds, which typically carry storage costs and do not generate income. By contrast, GLDY holders will earn a return while maintaining exposure to the gold price.“Over $400 billion sits in traditional gold ETFs, assets that offer price exposure but cost money to hold and provide no yield. GLDY fundamentally changes that,” said Co-Founder and CEO Henry McPhie. “Now, instead of paying to hold gold, investors can get paid to hold gold.”Read also:&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/cryptocurrency/bnb-hits-all-time-high-leads-altcoin-rally-after-bitcoin-s-weekend-surge-lifts-crypto-market-to-record/ch6RTHzR3gR">BNB Hits All-Time High, Leads Altcoin Rally After Bitcoin’s Weekend Surge Lifts Crypto Market To Record</a>For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.
