The BIG Question today is Do Van and Stoney get back on their bicycles? -- Yup we enjoyed a very nice ride on our BCYC's from mid teens to relatively high $20's , got off, left our bike on the side of the road and JMP just picked it up!<---- Bicycle Therapeutics initiated with an Outperform at JMP Securities 05:04 BCYC JMP Securities analyst Reni Benjamin initiated coverage of Bicycle Therapeutics with an Outperform rating and $53 price target. Bicycle toxin conjugates appear to have the specificity and efficacy of antibody drug conjugates but with the pharmacokinetic and property benefits of small molecules, Benjamin tells investors in a research note. With three products in the clinic or already in Phase 2, an early, Bicycle Therapeutics shares "represent a unique investment opportunity" and are attractively priced with 50% potential downside in a bear case and 167% potential upside in a bull case, says the analyst.

Check Point Software Technologies : Microsoft Continues to be Most Imitated Brand for Phishing Attempts in Q1 2021 | Check Point Software 04/20/2021 | 03:14am EDT ".... The report reveals that technology is still the most likely industry to be targeted by brand phishing, followed by shipping.

Aileen Smith says the firm's ratings are "based on the view that lidar is still in a nascent stage of innovation/adoption." The analyst says the lidar sensor companies are "uniquely levered to the industry mega-trend of vehicle autonomy, which should translate into outsized unit, revenue, and earnings growth for these companies over our forecast period versus other automotive players. " But Smith notes that lidar will be one of several sensor solutions for ADAS/AV capabilities, the price/cost will need to come down to increase penetration, and competition in the lidar sensor space is "incredibly fierce." On the ratings front, BofA thinks that Velodyne is lagging Luminar in multi-year contracts for automotive/ADAS/AV series production. Velodyne's growing contracts are in areas outside of the auto space, which concerns the firm. Luminar is viewed as the "emerging leader in next-generation, commercial " lidar that is uniquely levered to autonomous vehicles. But production won't start until the end of next year, providing limited proof points at this time and keeping BofA on the sidelines. Twilio's stellar growth story prompts BofA bullish initiation Citing "the never ending growth story," BofA reinstates Twilio(NYSE:TWLO)with a Buy rating and a $480 price target. Analyst Daniel Bartus says the communications platform as a service company is positioned for sustainable 30%+ revenue growth for 5+ years. The analyst says Twilio's growth profile is supported by increased usage during the digital transformation shift and more mainstream adoption of CPaaS solutions. The strong growth story justifies a premium valuation for Twilio, says Bartus. Twilio shares are down slightly pre-market to $366.02.
