Shares of defense stocks, including Lockheed Martin (NYSE:LMT) and Northrop Grumman (NYSE:NOC), turned red in Friday’s session following reports suggesting a deal Kevin McCarthy is discussing amid his bid for House speaker could involve a cut of $75 billion to the defense budget. 

McCarthy is nearing defeat in the 12th round of voting for speaker, which has become the longest run in 164 years. 

McCarthy secured 14 additional votes but is still expected to fall short of the majority needed.

Molecular Templates shares are volatile Tuesday after the company presented interim data from MT-6402 Phase I study in patients with PD-L1+ solid tumors. Molecular Templates said the findings show that MT-6402 acts uniquely from other approved checkpoint agents and was well-tolerated with no drug-related Grade 4 or Grade 5 adverse events observed. "We are excited to see objective responses in heavily pre-treated, checkpoint-experienced, head and neck cancer patients, a setting with high unmet medical need," said CEO Eric Poma.
