Argenx Reports Revenue Growth Amid Q1 Financial Challenges

Argenx has showcased strong first-quarter performance in 2025, reflecting a continued upward trend in revenue. The company marked nine consecutive quarters of revenue growth, with a notable 34% increase in patients using its VYVGART subcutaneous treatment in the U.S. Additionally, Argenx expanded its global footprint by enrolling over 2,700 patients in China for the therapy within just three months.

Despite these milestones, Argenx faced several hurdles during the same period. The company reported a net cash burn of $75 million in Q1, highlighting financial strains as expenditures outpaced income. Furthermore, it halted development efforts in ANCA-associated vasculitis due to identified risks. Nevertheless, Argenx is advancing its regulatory goals with plans to seek FDA approval for a pre-filled syringe version of VYVGART by June 2025.

Moving forward, Argenx has outlined plans to address its financial pressures, anticipating expenses for research, development, and administrative operations to reach approximately $2.5 billion for the year. The company, according to Reuters, seeks to achieve sustainable profitability in 2025 by refining its strategic initiatives and leveraging its expanding global presence.

Toyota Forecasts 21% Profit Drop Amid Tariffs and Costs

Toyota Motor Corporation has announced a projected 21% decline in operating profit for the fiscal year ending March 2026. The company expects profits to fall to ¥3.8 trillion ($26 billion), down from the previous year's ¥4.8 trillion. This announcement comes as the company faces multiple economic pressures affecting its bottom line. Several factors have contributed to Toyota's anticipated downturn. Notably, the 25% tariffs imposed by the United States on imported vehicles and auto parts are expected to significantly impact profits. Additionally, rising material costs for essential raw materials like steel and aluminum are increasing production expenses, said Reuters. Currency fluctuations, particularly a stronger yen, have also adversely affected the value of Toyota's overseas earnings when converted back to Japanese currency. Lastly, higher vehicle prices due to these increased costs may dampen consumer demand, adding further pressure on the company's profitability. In response to these challenges, Toyota is exploring strategic moves, including a potential $42 billion buyout of its subsidiary, Toyota Industries, cited as one of the world's largest buyouts by the Financial Times. To counteract some of the pressures from tariffs and currency issues, the company is considering relocating production of its RAV4 SUV to the U.S. Amid these developments, Toyota continues to focus on the robust demand for its hybrid vehicles to buffer some of these financial impacts.

Anheuser-Busch InBev (AB InBev) reported a strong first-quarter performance in 2025, with its operating profit rising by 7.9%, significantly outpacing analyst predictions of a 3.1% increase.
