PODD slides after it disclosed a voluntary correction for a small number of Omnipod 5 pods due to insulin delivery issues, raising safety and reliability concerns despite limited scope and no expected shipment disruptions, while FCX declines are tied in part to losses in copper futures, while TKO dips ahead of Monday's ex-dividend.
