Stifel Managing Director Stephen Gengaro spoke with Yahoo Finance anchor Josh Lipton about the outlook for the electric vehicle market. Stifel analysts initiated coverage of electric vehicle maker Rivian (RIVN) with a “Buy” rating and a $23 price target this week.

Specifically, Rivian’s R1S SUV and R1T pickup truck are driving awareness and demand. A partnership with Amazon (AMZN) to produce electric delivery vans leverages Rivian’s EV capabilities. Additionally, the planned 2026 launch of Rivian’s R2 vehicle — an affordable crossover — capitalizes on interest in a practical and desired electric option. While the […]

As world leaders debate fossil fuel reliance at the COP28 climate summit, waste management innovators invest in sustainable practices and the reuse of plastics. Republic Services (RSG) CEO Jon Vander Ark tells Yahoo Finance’s Rachelle Akuffo that of 5 million items collected daily, plastics and cardboard dominate all which rely on fossil fuel usage for creation.

Vander Ark says the facility will help overturn current shortages in sustainable recycling infrastructure. Alongside corporate and regulatory pressures […]

The FDA approved gene-editing therapy Casgevy to treat sickle cell disease. Developed by Vertex Pharmaceuticals (VRTX) and CRISPR Therapeutics (CRSP), the one-time treatment harnesses gene editing advancements. Vertex CEO Dr. Reshma Kewalramani says the approach involves extracting a patient’s stem cells, correcting the defect in those cells using CRISPR gene editing tools, then re-infusing the edited cells into the patient – relieving painful symptoms. Patients who undergo this $2.2 million procedure may eliminate painful sickle cell crises called VOC’s. Kewalramani contrasts the cost against the $4-6 million lifetime price tag for conventional sickle cell management. #youtube #genetics #yahoofinance About Yahoo Finance: Yahoo Finance provides free stock ticker data, up-to-date news, […]

While November jobs data outpaced economist expectations, many sectors are still struggling to fill roles, including cybersecurity.
