Smart Money Is Betting Big In GOLD Options

MARA Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MARA#NASDAQ">MARA</a>) stock is trading higher on Monday, along with other crypto-linked stocks, after Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) reached an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/12/42507864/bitcoin-etfs-surge-as-king-crypto-hits-106000">all time high.</a>
The Details: As of early Monday afternoon, Bitcoin is trading above $107,000, according to data from Benzinga Pro. MARA, heavily involved in Bitcoin mining, benefits from this surge.
Other Bitcoin miners, such as Riot Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RIOT#NASDAQ">RIOT</a>) and CleanSpark, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CLSK#NASDAQ">CLSK</a>), also stand to benefit from Bitcoin&#8217;s gains.
What Else: In early December MARA completed its $850 million offering of zero-coupon convertible senior notes due 2031. The company anticipates about $835.1 million in net proceeds from this offering.
MARA plans to use about $48 million of the net proceeds from the sale of the notes to repurchase roughly $51 million of its existing convertible notes due 2026 in private transactions. The remaining proceeds will go toward acquiring additional bitcoin and general corporate purposes, including working capital, strategic acquisitions, asset expansion and debt repayment.
In addition, at the start of the month, the company signed a definitive agreement to acquire a wind farm in Hansford County, Texas, with 240 MW of interconnection capacity and 114 MW of nameplate wind capacity.&nbsp;
The company plans to build and operate a behind-the-meter data center powered entirely by the site's 114 MW of wind capacity at no additional energy cost. This is part of MARA&#8217;s strategy to transform underutilized sustainable resources into economic value, achieve near-zero energy costs and support the broader adoption of renewable energy.

(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SNOW#NYSE">SNOW</a>) is turning heads in the market with its recently formed <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/golden-cross">a Golden Cross</a> — a bullish technical pattern where the 50-day moving average crosses above the 200-day moving average.

At $168.97, the stock price reflects strong momentum, sitting well above both the 50-day SMA (simple moving average) of $138.86 and the 200-day SMA of $138.20. 
The MACD (moving average convergence/divergence) indicator stands at a bullish 10.42, reinforcing the stock's upward trajectory.
However, short-term signals present a mixed bag. The eight-day SMA of $174.70 suggests some selling pressure, while the 20-day SMA at $167.46 aligns with a bullish signal, hinting at near-term consolidation. 
With an RSI (relative strength index) of 60.03, Snowflake stays in neutral territory, leaving room for further upward movement.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Snowflake&#8217;s AI Advantage</h2>
Jefferies has raised its price target to $200, naming Snowflake a top <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/artificial-intelligence">AI</a> pick for 2025, <a href="https://www.investing.com/news/analyst-ratings/snowflake-stock-a-top-ai-pick-for-2025-says-jefferies-ups-price-target-to-200-93CH-3773617">reported</a> Investing. The firm cites Snowflake's emphasis on AI product development as a key driver for future revenue and backlog growth. 
The company's strong fundamentals, including a 30.28% revenue growth rate and a 67.33% gross profit margin, underscore its potential.
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/SNOW/analyst-ratings">Other analysts are equally bullish</a>. KeyBanc recently set a $210 price target, and Citi raised its bar to $225, following what it called a "redemption quarter" for the company. 
Both firms highlight Snowflake's ability to capitalize on the surging demand for data and AI-driven solutions, aligning with the broader industry shift toward digital transformation.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Snowflake Poised For Long-Term Growth</h2>
With a Golden Cross signaling bullish momentum and Wall Street analysts stacking the deck in its favor, Snowflake appears poised for long-term growth. 
The fusion of strong technicals and AI-fueled optimism cements Snowflake's position as a leader in the evolving data landscape.

On Monday, Alphabet Inc&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) Google significantly upgraded its <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/artificial-intelligence" rel="noreferrer noopener">artificial intelligence-powered</a> content generation tools, unveiling the Veo 2 video and enhanced <a target="_blank" href="https://blog.google/technology/google-labs/video-image-generation-update-december-2024/" rel="noreferrer noopener">Imagen 3 image models</a>.
These advancements promise to revolutionize creative workflows, offering realism and customization for video and image creators.
Veo 2, Google&#8217;s video generation tool, produces high-quality videos in diverse subjects and styles.

The company said in the blog that the model excels in realism, capturing details like human expressions and cinematographic effects.
Its enhanced understanding of physics and cinematography enables users to generate stunning content, from tracking shots to wide-angle compositions.
According to the search giant, the Veo 2 achieves superior results compared to competing models. It offers a resolution of up to 4K and video lengths extending to several minutes. It incorporates advanced features like shallow depth of field, specific lens types, and detailed movement dynamics.
Developers and creators can access the tool through Google Labs and expect broader integration with platforms like YouTube Shorts in 2025.
Veo 2 is designed with safety in mind. It embeds SynthID watermarks in generated videos to prevent misuse or misinformation.
This focus on responsibility underpins Google&#8217;s measured rollout of Veo 2 across its platforms.
The Imagen 3 model offers enhanced image composition and detail accuracy, supporting a range of styles from photorealistic to abstract.
It generates richer textures and adheres more faithfully to user prompts.
Imagen 3 is now accessible in over 100 countries through Google Labs&#8217; ImageFX tool, allowing users worldwide to experiment with its cutting-edge capabilities.
Google also launched Whisk, a creative tool that combines Imagen 3 with Gemini&#8217;s visual analysis capabilities. Users can input images to generate detailed captions, remix styles, and create personalized designs like digital plushies or enamel pins.
Google&#8217;s latest tool rivals ChatGPT parent OpenAI&#8217;s Sora AI video generator, which was launched in February, but the model quickly <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42307366/googles-veo-video-generator-arrives-on-cloud-how-quora-and-mondelez-are-using-ai-for-creative-content" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">faced challenges, including errors</a>.
Amazon.Com Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) debuted its AI-powered video tool for advertisers in September, competing with Adobe&#8217;s Firefly Video Model, while Meta Platforms Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) introduced Movie Gen in October to generate videos, images, and audio from text prompts.

BofA Securities analyst Brad Sills maintained HubSpot Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HUBS#NYSE">HUBS</a>) with a Buy and raised the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/HUBS/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">price target from&nbsp;$780&nbsp;to&nbsp;$850</a>.
Sills hosted CEO Yamini Rangan in investor meetings in Boston on December 12. The analyst remains bullish on HubSpot&#8217;s durability of growth. With its leading cloud platform, HubSpot addresses the vast SMB segment of the $125 billion CRM industry (Gartner).
AI catalyzes market consolidation and expands the TAM to the broader sales services industry. The use cases for HubSpot in the front office offer meaningful value arising from sales productivity gains and revenue uplift. The macro remains essentially unchanged, though there are signs of some improvement.
The rating reflects added confidence that growth will reaccelerate (to the mid-20s in an upside case) from both AI and a better macro as the company moves through fiscal 2025.
HubSpot remains focused on consolidating the SMB portion of the CRM industry (SMB ~55% of total software spending) with a unified platform built for speed and ease of use.

Key differentiators are application integration on an organically built platform and channel reach through 6,500 ad agency reseller partners.
HubSpot builds most of its applications on the platform with a common ecosystem, embedded AI, and unified data, per the analyst. This unified platform enables HubSpot to push new agents, copilots, and features to multiple hubs instantly.
When HubSpot makes tuck-in acquisitions, underlying code is rewritten completely on the HubSpot platform to maintain platform discipline.
The HubSpot platform is built for AI-enabled features such as agents and copilots, given one unified dataset, designed for workflow that is simple for SMBs.
HubSpot maintains an agnostic approach to LLMs backing the Breeze AI platform. While OpenAI is the primary model provider, Claude and Gemini are also gaining traction.
If a customer prefers another, HubSpot can accommodate. The company has 90 embedded AI features that are populated into each of the applicable hubs.
Four agents are in beta today: customer (for support), content, social, and prospecting. Customer and support have seen the most traction today.
There are hundreds of customers in beta, to reach thousands. Early adopters of customer agent benefit from 20% to 60% case deflection.
All four agents will likely be generally available in 2025. HubSpot remains in proliferation first, monetize later mode today.
Over time, AI features (copilots, agents, and features) should provide tailwinds across all key growth metrics, such as gross retention, net retention, net adds, and eventually direct monetization via separate offerings.
Today, the focus is on driving value for small businesses via return on investment (ROI) metrics, and these tailwinds should follow.
HubSpot generates extensive unstructured data, such as emails, calls, and PDFs. The Frame AI acquisition provides stream processing to access unstructured data within HubSpot for sentiment and intent analysis.
The combination of structured CRM data and unstructured data represents a comprehensive data set and a meaningful advantage in the AI cycle.
Consistent with comments on the third-quarter earnings call, HubSpot is seeing some improvement in the macro environment, though customers are not yet back in growth mode.
Downgrades have stabilized recently, and the pressure on seat upgrades is improving. However, other upgrades remain softer (cross-sell, contacts, and non-seat-based upgrades) and are still weighing on ASP (-2% Y/Y in the third quarter) and net revenue retention (102%, versus 108%-110% in fiscal 2021 and 2022).
In recent years, HubSpot has invested in partner and sales enablement, which should provide an added tailwind to growth when customers return to growth mode (via sales productivity).
Pricing changes were made in March to enable a lower entry point and drive better, more consistent upgrade momentum.
As part of the pricing change, customers can start with one seat instead of a 5-seat minimum (Pro) and 10-seat minimum (enterprise) for Sales Hub and Service Hub.
HubSpot is already seeing healthy customer upgrade activity on the new pricing, given a lower entry point and upgrade cost on a single seat.
Upgrades will likely increase more meaningfully under the new plan in a better spending environment over a multi-year period.
HubSpot began converting customers to the new pricing during renewals in the summer. Upon the next renewal, HubSpot will convert free administrative users to paid core seats, amounting to a maximum 5% price increase, which should start in the second half of fiscal 2025.
The price target reflects an EV/revenue multiple of 12 times Sills&#8217; calendar 2026 revenue estimate or an EV/revenue/growth multiple of 0.5 times based on his calendar 2026 revenue growth rate of +22%, in line with the large-cap software group.
Sills projected fiscal 2024 revenue of $2.6 billion and EPS of $8.00.
Price Action: HUBS stock is up 2.56% at $740.31 at last check Monday.

HubSpot To Dominate SMB CRM Space With AI-Driven Platform, Says BofA Analyst

<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/24/02/36957081/robert-kiyosaki-rich-dad-poor-dad-author-says-i-am-a-billionaire-in-debt-and-calls-dave-ramsey-an-id">Dave Ramsey</a> is a household name in personal finance. Known for his no-debt philosophy and the massive real estate empire he built by paying cash, Ramsey's advice has guided millions toward financial freedom.&nbsp;
But before he became a beacon of financial wisdom, Ramsey <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/10/41496567/i-splatted-it-hurt-says-dave-ramsey-referring-to-the-sudden-call-on-his-1-2-million-loans-that-turne">found himself at rock bottom</a>. During a 2023 appearance on The Iced Coffee Hour Podcast, Ramsey opened up about his past financial ruin, the toll it took on his marriage and how he clawed his way back.

</ul>
Confidence to Collapse
"I had hungry kids and a wife that wanted to leave, but she didn't have a car," Ramsey recalled. His confidence and financial stability were shattered. Ramsey once prided himself on his business acumen and admitted that he could "outearn" his poor decisions. But his strategy of leveraging debt backfired, leading to bankruptcy and leaving his family in a state of financial and emotional chaos.
"I wasn't doing any of the right things. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/11/42152386/a-dave-ramsey-caller-opened-up-18-credit-cards-after-bankruptcy-and-is-118000-in-debt-to-impress-people-her-husband-has-no-idea">I was deeply in debt</a>, didn't have a plan and thought I could outearn my stupidity," he admitted. The fallout was devastating and it wasn't just about the money – his self-esteem, his marriage and his family's stability were all hanging by a thread.

Surviving the Storm
When asked how he and his wife, Sharon, managed to hold their marriage together during that time, Ramsey didn't sugarcoat it: "We fought a lot. It was really brutal. She was terrified and my self-esteem was destroyed because my confidence came from my success. When that was gone, I was just a shell."
Despite the tension, they chose to stick together, but it wasn't easy. "We used to laugh and say we held on to each other just to get a better grip," Ramsey said. The couple focused on survival – living day-to-day.
"We just said, ‘Do the next thing.' Get up, go to work, pay the light bill, change the diaper, feed the kids. We were zombified, just grinding it out." Over time, Ramsey began to rebuild financially, eventually pulling in six figures again. But the emotional strain lingered.

The Aftermath: A Marriage on the Brink
Surprisingly, Ramsey revealed that the real test of their marriage came three years after their financial recovery. "Once we weren't desperate anymore, all those feelings we had stuffed down just blew up," he said. The couple found themselves in counseling for three years, working through resentment, fear and the deep wounds left by their financial collapse.
"She thought she had married Sir Galahad and it turned out it was Goober," Ramsey said candidly. His wife, Sharon, had to rebuild her trust in him while Ramsey worked on his self-worth.
The Path to Redemption
Ramsey's turnaround wasn't just financial – it was personal and spiritual. "I realized I had put my faith in the wrong things," he said. "If your self-worth is tied to your net worth, you're setting yourself up for failure."
He focused on becoming a person of character, someone his future self could look back on with pride. "I want to be a good dad, a good husband, a good leader. I don't want to live with regrets about my character."
Through their struggles, the Ramseys emerged stronger. With a renewed sense of purpose, Dave began building his debt-free empire, becoming one of the most influential financial advisors in the world.

A Message of Hope
Today, Ramsey's story serves as a powerful reminder that financial ruin doesn't have to be the end of the story. His advice – live on less than you make, avoid debt and stick to a budget – has inspired millions to take control of their money.
But perhaps his greatest lesson is this: perseverance, humility and a commitment to growth can help you rebuild your finances and your life. "When I hear people call in and I can hear that desperation in their voice," he said, "it still hits me in the gut. I've been there."
Dave Ramsey's journey from bankruptcy to financial guru proves that rock bottom isn't permanent – and that it's possible to climb back stronger than ever.

Dave Ramsey Says His Wife Wanted To Leave Him, 'But She Didn't Have A Car' – Hitting Rock Bottom Financially Almost Ended His Marriage

Goldman Sachs analyst Eric Sheridan initiated coverage on Grindr Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GRND#NYSE">GRND</a>) with a Buy rating and a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/GRND/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">price target of&nbsp;$20</a>.
Grindr is an online dating platform primarily focused on serving the LGBTQ+ community with 14.6 million monthly active users (as of the third quarter of 2024) globally.
In this initiation, Sheridan framed his work around three key debates for Grindr stock, including the company&#8217;s addressable market, whether it achieves a 20%+ fiscal 2024-2029 revenue CAGR, and whether it can sustain a 40%+ adjusted EBITDA margin.
Also Read: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42439924/match-group-under-pressure-to-deliver-strategy-for-tinders-struggles-and-hinge-growth-at-investor-meeting" rel="noreferrer noopener">Match Group Faces Investor Scrutiny Over Tinder Woes, Hinge Expansion Plans</a>
Sheridan noted Grindr&#8217;s addressable market as large and growing, as the company is positively leveraged to both the addressable LGBTQ+ user market (his work sizes the 2024 addressable user market at a range of 40 million-80 million) and advertising opportunity.
Grindr modeled fiscal 2024-2029 revenues growing at a 20% CAGR driven mainly by direct revenue (primarily paying user growth) and indirect revenue scaling (advertising).
Sheridan expects adjusted EBITDA margins to remain stable, although margins are unlikely to remain linear as the company focuses on key growth investments over the next 12-18 months.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Based on Sheridan&#8217;s fundamental work, he noted Grindr as a revenue compounder with high margins that are positively leveraged to several long-term secular growth themes and opportunities within online dating. While the online dating sector has been impacted by ongoing investor debates around sources of user growth and user time and engagement, Sheridan noted Grindr as having a user demographic and core proposition that has performed well against such debates (which he expects to persist into 2025 and beyond).&nbsp;&nbsp;
Price Action: GRND stock is up 8.96% at $17.15 at the last check on Monday.

Grindr's Expanding LGBTQ+ Market and 20% Revenue Growth Impresses Goldman Sachs

In the current market session, REV Group Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/REVG#NYSE">REVG</a>) stock price is at $34.83, after a 1.14% drop. However, over the past month, the company's stock went up by 18.44%, and in the past year, by 89.91%. Shareholders might be interested in knowing whether the stock is overvalued, even if the company is not performing up to par in the current session.

<h3>Evaluating REV Group P/E in Comparison to Its Peers</h3>
The P/E ratio is used by long-term shareholders to assess the company's market performance against aggregate market data, historical earnings, and the industry at large. A lower P/E could indicate that shareholders do not expect the stock to perform better in the future or it could mean that the company is undervalued. 
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of the 15.94 in the Machinery industry, REV Group Inc. has a lower P/E ratio of 7.46. Shareholders might be inclined to think that the stock might perform worse than it's industry peers. It's also possible that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1734372909_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In summary, while the price-to-earnings ratio is a valuable tool for investors to evaluate a company's market performance, it should be used with caution. A low P/E ratio can be an indication of undervaluation, but it can also suggest weak growth prospects or financial instability. Moreover, the P/E ratio is just one of many metrics that investors should consider when making investment decisions, and it should be evaluated alongside other financial ratios, industry trends, and qualitative factors. By taking a comprehensive approach to analyzing a company's financial health, investors can make well-informed decisions that are more likely to lead to successful outcomes.

A Look Into REV Group Inc's Price Over Earnings

<a href="https://electrek.co/2024/12/16/tesla-major-issue-self-driving-computer-inside-new-cars/">https://electrek.co/2024/12/16/tesla-major-issue-self-driving-computer-inside-new-cars/</a>
Brand-new Tesla vehicles are experiencing self-driving computer failures, which are resulting in significant problems. Inside sources say that the problem is contributing to overwhelming Tesla's service.
Over the last few weeks, Electrek has received several reports from new Tesla buyers claiming computer failures on brand-new cars.
We have been investigating the problem, and based on insider sources and documents that we obtained, we can now explain the issue in more detail.
The problem is linked to a new version of Tesla's HW4 (sometimes called AI4) onboard self-driving computer. Internally, some refer to the new version as AI4.1. The computers are short-circuiting. The cause is still being investigated, but one source told Electrek that one of the possible causes is the low-voltage battery short-circuiting the computer during the camera calibration process.
Tesla drivers are reporting computer failures after driving off with their brand-new cars over just the first few tens to hundreds of miles. Wide-ranging features powered by the computer, like active safety features, cameras, and even GPS, navigation, and range estimations, fail to work.
Insider sources told Electrek that the problem is quite wide-ranging. It affects vehicles built over the last few months with the new computer.
Two sources said that Tesla is currently receiving a high number of complaints about this issue, and it has yet to release a service bulletin about it. One source said that Tesla service is being told to play down any safety concerns related to this problem to avoid people believing their brand-new cars are not drivable.
The issue arose at the end of the year when Tesla is trying to deliver a record number of vehicles to avoid its whole year down in deliveries – a first in a decade.
It's unclear if Tesla reported the issue to NHTSA despite the fact that the broken rear-view camera goes against federal safety regulations, which should force a recall.
At the moment, the main remedy being discussed is a computer replacement, but Tesla is also looking to push a software patch to help temporarily.
Tesla service is currently being overwhelmed by the issue, and Tesla is pushing service appointments to next year.

On Friday, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>) unveiled its first <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/taiwan" rel="noreferrer noopener">advanced chip fabrication plant</a> in Arizona, marking a significant milestone in U.S.-based semiconductor production.
The facility, covering 3.5 million square feet on a 1,100-acre site, represents Taiwan Semiconductor&#8217;s commitment to bolstering domestic chip manufacturing. Apple Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) is its largest customer.
Initially projected at $12 billion, the project has grown to $20 billion, and production has been delayed to 2025. Taiwan Semiconductor stock is trading upwards on Monday.

Currently in pilot production, the fab manufactures sample wafers for customer verification, CNBC <a target="_blank" href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/12/13/inside-tsmcs-new-chip-fab-where-apple-will-make-chips-in-the-us-.html" rel="noreferrer noopener">reports</a>.
Taiwan Semiconductor plans to build two additional fabs on the site by the end of the decade, bringing the total investment to $65 billion.
Rick Cassidy, chairman of Taiwan Semiconductor, highlighted to CNBC the challenges of navigating U.S. regulations, labor laws, and construction processes but expressed confidence that the project is nearly back on its original schedule.
Once operational, the Arizona plant will produce 4-nanometer chips at a rate of 20,000 wafers per month.
The Arizona fab is part of a broader strategy to diversify chip production outside Taiwan, ensuring supply chain resilience amid geopolitical tensions and natural disasters.
Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) is <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42336825/nvidia-could-become-taiwan-semis-3rd-us-plant-customer" rel="noreferrer noopener">weighing the production</a> of the front-end process of Blackwell AI chips at Taiwan Semiconductor&#8217;s Arizona plant.
Currently, 92% of the world&#8217;s most advanced chips are made in Taiwan, prompting Taiwan Semiconductor to ship the aforementioned Blackwell chips back to Taiwan for packaging.
The company aims to employ 6,000 workers for its three planned fabs in Arizona. Taiwan Semiconductor has also implemented water recycling initiatives to manage the 4.7 million gallons required daily for operations, reducing consumption to 1 million through sustainable practices.
Running the first Arizona fab requires significant power—2.85 gigawatt-hours per day, equivalent to the usage of 100,000 homes.
Taiwan Semiconductor is offsetting this demand by purchasing renewable energy credits and utilizing on-site solar energy.
International Data Corp&nbsp;expects&nbsp;Taiwan Semiconductor <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42480928/taiwan-semi-set-to-command-67-foundry-market-share-idc" rel="noreferrer noopener">to&nbsp;control a 67%</a> share of the global foundry market in 2025, backed by&nbsp;AI&nbsp;applications and crypto-mining technologies.
Taiwan Semiconductor posted third-quarter revenue of $23.50 billion, up 39%, surpassing guidance and estimates, driven by strong demand for 3nm and 5nm technologies. Needham analyst Charles Shi highlighted Apple&#8217;s significant contribution to the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41388050/apples-3nm-push-boosts-taiwan-semis-q3-ai-revenue-set-to-triple-analyst" rel="noreferrer noopener">robust 3nm performance</a>.
Price Action: TSM stock is up 1.67% at $204.29 premarket at last check Monday.
