Cash back credit cards in Malaysia

By Editorial Team -
I prefer using cash back credit cards because I enjoy the cash rewards, but other great credit card options can earn you travel rewards, loyalty points, or other rewards based on your spending. Just remember to treat your credit card like a debit card (only spend the money if you have it) and you will be fine.

Top 10 Pharmaceutical Companies by Revenue in 2025

By Editorial Team -
Image
With only one of the biopharma industry’s top 20 revenue companies seeing a year-over-year decline in sales, 2024 was a remarkable year of revenue growth for the industry. Compare that to 2023, when eight of the top 20 drugmakers experienced revenue declines. Six of the top 20 drugmakers had double-digit increases in 2024, compared to just two in 2023. Five others saw a revenue bump of between 7% and 9%, compared to two reaching those figures in 2023. For the second year in a row, Eli Lilly (32%) and Novo Nordisk (26%) posted Big Pharma's largest year-over-year sales bumps, though their positions were flipped from 2023 when Novo (31%) topped Lilly (20%). Expect the same form in 2025 as Lilly—boosted by sales of its diabetes and obesity drugs Moujaro and Zepbound— projects  its sales to fall between $58 billion and $61 billion. At the midpoint of the projection, it would be a 32% increase, matching the sales boom it saw last year. Meanwhile, Novo—which also has been powered by sale...

Top 10 Drugs by Worldwide Sales in 2024

By Editorial Team -
Image
It's been several years since COVID-19 vaccines from Pfizer and Moderna jumped to the top of the pharma industry's sales charts, displacing longtime stalwarts with unprecedented sales. But, as 2023 featured major patent expirations, the rise of weight loss drugs and other new dynamics, the year’s ranking of the top 10 drugs by global sales featured its fair share of surprises. Merck’s oncology king Keytruda rose to the top last year, adding yet another feather in its cap. With more than 30 indications across various cancer types and stages, the PD-L1 inhibitor shows no signs of stopping. With $25 billion in global sales, the drug accounted for about 40% of Merck’s total revenue last year. Keytruda's sales are expected to reach $30 billion this year. Keytruda had previously fallen right behind AbbVie's Humira, which held the title of the world’s bestselling drug for nine years in a row until Pfizer and BioNTech’s Comirnaty knocked AbbVie’s Humira off its perch in 2021.

Top 10 Cancer Drug Companies of 2025

By Editorial Team -
Image
Merck, Roche and Celgene (now part of Bristol-Myers Squibb) have remained prominent players, but the market dynamics have shifted significantly in recent years. This increased competition is fueled by the success of blockbuster drugs like Keytruda (Merck), Tagrisso (AstraZeneca), and Ibrance (Pfizer), as well as the rapid adoption of immunotherapies and targeted treatments ( Verified Market Reports ). Look at 2017. The trio of drugmakers together held a 45.8% share of the market, with longtime cancer leader Roche controlling 26.4% all on its own. In 2024, though, market intelligence firm EvaluatePharma expects to see much more parity. The top three’s share will shrink to 26.2%, with Roche’s dropping all the way down to 11.9%. And the No. 2 through No. 5 companies—BMS, Johnson & Johnson, Pfizer, AstraZeneca and Merck—will boast shares within less than a percentage point of one another. And it won’t just be the heavy hitters clawing for a piece of the pie. That number is set to near...

Did Steve Jobs Refuse Treatment for Pancreatic Cancer?

By Editorial Team -
Image
On October 5, 2011, Steve Jobs died after a battle with a rare pancreatic cancer at age 56. But he may have lived longer if he sought proper medical care in time. When Apple co-founder Steve Jobs was first diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2003, his doctors advised him to seek surgery as soon as possible. Instead, he delayed the procedure for nine months and attempted to treat himself with alternative medicine. This fateful decision may have quickened Steve Jobs’ death — when he still could’ve been saved. Steve Jobs died from pancreatic cancer complications on October 5, 2011, just eight years after his initial diagnosis. He was only 56 years old when he died, but his cancer had taken such a toll on his body that he looked gaunt, frail, and much older than his actual age. It was a far cry from the robust, energetic man who had once pioneered the personal computer era.    ...

Bitcoin Nasdaq Correlation: The Correlation between the Nasdaq index and Cryptocurrencies 2025

By Editorial Team -
Image
The correlation between the Nasdaq index and cryptocurrencies, particularly Bitcoin, has been a subject of interest and analysis, reflecting the increasing integration of digital assets into the broader financial ecosystem. Here's a detailed look at this relationship: Historical Context and Trends: Increasing Correlation : Over the past few years, there has been a noticeable trend towards a stronger correlation between Bitcoin and the Nasdaq Composite Index, especially with tech-heavy indices like the Nasdaq 100. As of early 2025, this correlation has been observed to be at a high level, with some periods showing a correlation coefficient above 0.9. This suggests that movements in Bitcoin prices often mirror those of the Nasdaq, particularly during bullish market phases for tech stocks. Institutional Influence : The growing involvement of institutional investors in cryptocurrencies has played a significant role in this correlation. Companies like Coinbase, which has a listing on Na...
