"Yeah. So, ARJX is a biotech company based in the Netherlands and it essentially has one flagship drug that I will not attempt to pronounce but one flagship drug and that is used for a variety of applications for autoimmune diseases and the shares have actually rallied quite impressively over the last few months because it's been able to get a lot of wins in terms of successful trials but it has just encountered a big setback. So, it has to it had to discontinue studies that were checking if it could use that flagship drug for a thyroid eye disease. And so this rules out now a population of about 100,000 in the US and that puts pressure on the sales ambition for 2030 and also puts a little bit more scrutiny on the results of other trials. So other catalysts that are coming next year. Um in kind of better news perhaps for AR multiple analysts have said that the share price weakness today um is actually a buying opportunity. So they said that the fundamentals do remain strong. It's kind of a temporary setback, but we have seen a lot of weakness in the shares vouch this morning."

The commentary on ARJX highlights a recent setback due to the discontinuation of a thyroid eye disease trial, which excludes a potential US patient population and pressures sales targets for 2030. Despite these issues, multiple analysts view the current weakness as a buying opportunity, noting that the company's strong fundamentals suggest the setback is temporary. Catalysts expected next year could further validate this positive outlook.
