During Wednesday’s Current trade, Shares of Nektar Therapeutics (NASDAQ:NKTR), gain 3.60% to $10.93.
Nektar Therapeutics (NKTR) declared positive preclinical results for NKTR-214, a CD122-biased cytokine designed to preferentially stimulate the production and maintenance of tumor-killing T cells which are found naturally in the body. CD122, which is also known as the Interleukin-2 receptor beta subunit, is a key signaling receptor that is known to enhance the proliferation of CD8-positive effector T cells, and these CD8-positive T cells comprise a key component of the tumor infiltrating lymphocytes that provide cell-mediated anti-tumor effects.1
Results were presented this past Friday at the Inaugural CRI-CIMT-EATI-AACR Immunotherapy Conference in New York. NKTR-214 shows efficacy in multiple preclinical models as a single agent. Combination regimens with NKTR-214 and either anti-CTLA4 or anti-PD-1 checkpoint inhibitor therapies resulted in durable anti-tumor immunotherapeutic effects, which persisted long after the termination of dosing.
Nektar Therapeutics, a biopharmaceutical company, develops drug candidates that utilize its PEGylation and polymer conjugate technology platforms in the United States. Its product pipeline comprises drug candidates in therapeutic areas comprising oncology, pain, anti-infectives, and immunology.
Shares of VF Corp (NYSE:VFC), inclined 1.92% to $68.55, during its current trading session.
A new partnership between Lee Jeans and ESPN’s Mike & Mike in the Morning unveils how the duo contrast to America on the topic of tailgating according to a national poll*. While it’s not surprising they both side with the masses (72 percent) and pick jeans as a staple of their game day attire, knowing the odd couple of sports, they do have differing opinions on other tailgate traditions. Here’s how they side with America:
College vs. Pro Football Tailgating:
- Golic says: College
- Greenburg says: Pro
- America says: College
Fifty-seven percent selected the college football atmosphere, which can’t be beat with Americans most often citing southern schools like Florida, Alabama and LSU as having the best tailgating reputations.
Best Pro Football Tailgate Locale:
- Golic says: Kansas City
- Greenburg says: Green Bay
- America says: Green Bay
Nearly one in six Americans side with Greeny and choose Green Bay as their favorite pro football-tailgating locale. Golic’s nod to Lee Jeans’ hometown Kansas City is all because of the barbecue! But beware: Americans rank barbecue sauce as the number one “stain-emy” of the American tailgate. And considering paper towels and wet wipes are two of the most commonly forgotten tailgating items, that’s a denim disaster waiting to happen.

Donaldson Company, Inc. (NYSE:DCI), during its Wednesday’s current trading session gained 1.24% to $27.79.
Donaldson Company, Inc. (DCI) declared that it has filed a Form 12b-25, Notification of Late Filing, with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission with regard to its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended July 31, 2015. The filing provides the Company with an additional 15 calendar days to file its Form 10-K, and Donaldson anticipates to file its Form 10-K preceding to the expiration of the extension.
Donaldson was unable to file its Form 10-K by the Sept. 29, 2015, deadline because the Company has not yet accomplished an ongoing investigation related to the recognition of revenue for certain projects in its European Gas Turbine Products business.
Specifically, the Company’s Compliance Committee received reports from two former employees that revenue for a project in the European Gas Turbine Products business was improperly recognized in the second quarter of fiscal 2015. The Company initiated an internal investigation which verified the substance of the report and identified additional revenue transactions within the European Gas Turbine Products business involving the same improper practices.
Donaldson Company, Inc. engages in the manufacture and sale of filtration systems and replacement parts. The company operates through two segments, Engine Products and Industrial Products.
Finally, Sempra Energy (NYSE:SRE), gained 1.74%, to $96.08.
San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E) asked the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) for approval to recover in rates the remaining costs to settle the 2,500 lawsuits related to the 2007 wildfires. SDG&E initially faced $4 billion in claims arising from the fires, but the company made a decision to settle as many cases as possible to reduce the overall customer cost impact. Settlement costs amounted to $2.4 billion, the majority of which was covered by SDG&E’s liability insurance and recoveries from third parties. SDG&E proposes its shareholders pay 10 percent or $42 million. If approved, the utility proposes to spread out the remaining $379 million over six years, which would result in a monthly bill impact of less than $1.70 for a typical residential customer using 500 kilowatt-hours of electricity per month.
Since 2007, SDG&E has taken noteworthysteps to enhance operational and system safety and improve overall situational awareness to reduce the potential for utility facilities to be an ignition source. A key step was the installation of more than 170 weather stations throughout its service territory—the largest and most concentrated weather network of any utility in the nation. Every circuit that serves the high-risk “fire threat zone” in the back country has at least one weather station that provides wind speed, direction, temperature and humidity every 10 minutes—critical information needed to evaluate the possible impact of weather on system operations. All of this data is accessible to the National Weather Service, fire agencies and the general public.
Sempra Energy operates as an energy services holding company worldwide. The company’s San Diego Gas & Electric Company segment transmits and distributes electricity and/or natural gas.
