This Is What Whales Are Betting On United States Steel

Shares of streaming companies are trading lower after Amazon announced they will ramp up their Prime Video advertising spend.

In 1989, a couple from Long Island took a chance on an unclaimed storage unit for just $100, as reported by a CNBC article. They didn't expect to find a piece of movie history tucked away under some old blankets – a 1976 Lotus Esprit, used in the James Bond film The Spy Who Loved Me.
The couple, who had no clue what they stumbled upon, initially planned to fix the car's roof and do some minor work. But while hauling it home, truckers on the road started radioing them, letting them know they had something much more valuable – a James Bond car. After hearing this, the husband rented the movie and realized they were sitting on a treasure.&nbsp;

</ul>
Ironically, the couple had reportedly never even seen a Bond film.&nbsp;
Years later, after some cosmetic touch-ups, they auctioned the car in 2013. That's when Elon Musk entered the picture, paying nearly $1 million for the Lotus – $997,000. Musk, who grew up watching the Bond movie, said, "It was amazing as a little kid to watch James Bond drive the Lotus Esprit off a pier and have it transform into a submarine."
In a statement to auto blog Jalopnik, Musk said, "I was disappointed to learn that it can&#8217;t transform. What I&#8217;m going to do is upgrade it with a Tesla electric powertrain and try to make it transform for real."
Interestingly, the car, nicknamed "Wet Nellie," was originally converted into a functional submarine for the movie, costing over $100,000. While it couldn't drive on land, it was fully capable of underwater action with propellers and ballast tanks. Instead of wheels, it had "articulated fins.&#8221;&nbsp;

<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" />
Musk's fascination with the Lotus Esprit didn't end at its purchase. He stated that the car significantly shaped the futuristic design of Tesla's Cybertruck, unveiled in 2019.&nbsp;
Musk <a href="https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1197638937109336066">posted on X</a> that the Cybertruck's sharp, angular design was "influenced partly" by the iconic Bond car, writing: "Cybertruck design influenced partly by The Spy Who Loved Me." He attached a YouTube clip of the movie.&nbsp;
Musk's desire to combine cutting-edge electric vehicle technology with a design inspired by his childhood memories of James Bond highlights the seamless blend of nostalgia and innovation at the heart of Tesla's boldest creations.

Elon Musk Paid $1 Million For A 1976 Car That Inspired Cybertruck's Design – Seller Originally Bought It For Just $100 In A Storage Unit Sale

Morgan Stanley analyst Brian Nowak reiterated Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) with an Overweight rating and a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/AMZN/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">$210&nbsp;price target</a>.
Amazon traded at 22 times Nowak&#8217;s 2026 free cash flow, representing 29% growth (fiscal 2024-2026 free cash flow per share CAGR). He said this is a ~30% discount to Amazon&#8217;s mega-cap tech peer median growth-adjusted multiple on a growth-adjusted basis.

The price target implies paying 20 times fiscal 2027 free cash flow for 24% growth (fiscal 2025-2027 free cash flow per share CAGR) and 0.8 times on a growth-adjusted basis, a ~20% discount to Amazon&#8217;s mega-cap tech peer median growth-adjusted multiple of 1.1 times.
Nowak noted the tactical risk to fourth-quarter EBIT but is buying weakness into fiscal 2025 as the profit challenges are temporary and not structural.
Nowak said Amazon&#8217;s growing focus on lower-priced, lower-margin essentials drives merchandise margin pressure, which is holding back the near-term slope of its North American retail profit ramp. Expected discounting in a competitive holiday season creates further near-term uncertainty, he said.
According to the analyst, Amazon makes low-priced essentials profitable and the cost to serve still leads to $8-$9 free cash flow per share. Corporate efficiencies could lead to $2 billion-$4 billion of further savings, and Project Kuiper and headcount models speak to minimal headwinds here.
Nowak said Amazon management&#8217;s recent letter outlining an increased focus on efficiency should lead to a further EBIT cushion and upside in fiscal 2025.
Project Kuiper is likely to be manageable from a P&amp;L-impact perspective, Nowak said. He noted Amazon&#8217;s growing net cash balance creates a higher probability of capital returns in fiscal 2025.
Nowak projected fiscal 2024 revenue of $633.96 billion and EPS of $4.80. He expects fiscal 2025 revenue of $ 697.94 billion and EPS of $5.93.

Crude Oil Jumps Over 4%; US Services PMI Revised Lower

YPF Sociedad An&oacute;nima (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ypf#NYSE">YPF</a>), Argentina&#39;s state-owned energy company, has announced that it will be lowering fuel prices across the country, starting from Oct. 1, 2024. The company announced a 4% reduction in gasoline prices and a 5% reduction in diesel prices. However, the pump prices will reflect a 1% reduction in gasoline prices and 2% in diesel prices. The devaluation of the Argentine peso and an increase in taxes led to a 3% rise in fuel prices, which partially reduced the full benefit of the price cut.
<h2>YPF&#39;s Fair Pricing Strategy</h2>
YPF considers several factors before setting the prices, including local and international market dynamics as well as fuel production costs as it intends to stick to a fair pricing strategy for fuels. Per the company&#39;s statement, the reduction in fuel prices is a reflection of the declining trend in the global Brent crude oil prices. The state-owned energy firm has reportedly lowered fuel prices for the first time since 2019.
Argentina has witnessed a cumulative 51% rise in gasoline prices so far. According to source, the year-over-year increase in gas prices stood at a staggering 340% in September. YPF has successfully struck a balance between local fuel prices and international prices over the past eight months, which should enable it to make future price adjustments based on international Brent crude prices alongside other local factors associated with costs.
<h2>Economic Challenges in Argentina</h2>
Argentina has been grappling with a high rate of inflation and instability in the value of its currency. As such, the reduction in fuel prices may have a significant impact on the economy. Easing up fuel prices by YPF should reduce the burden on Argentina&#39;s consumers and its businesses by lowering transportation expenses. As Argentina&#39;s largest oil company, YPF&#39;s decision carries substantial weight and may influence other companies in the industry to do the same, benefitting consumers all over Argentina.&nbsp;
<h2>YPF&#39;s Zacks Rank and Key Picks</h2>
Currently, YPF carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold).
Some better-ranked stocks in the energy&nbsp;sector are&nbsp;PEDEVCO Corp. (AMEX:PED),&nbsp;Archrock Inc. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/aroc#NYSE">AROC</a>) and VAALCO Energy (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/egy#NYSE">EGY</a>). PEDEVCO and Archrock presently sport a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) each, whereas VAALCO Energy carries a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy).
PEDEVCO is engaged in the acquisition and development of energy assets in the United States and Pacific Rim countries. PED stands to benefit from its holdings in the Permian Basin, one of the most prolific oil-producing regions in the United States, as well as in the D-J Basin in Colorado, which includes more than 150 high-quality drilling locations. Combined with bullish oil prices, this is expected to boost the company&#39;s production and overall profitability.
Archrock is an energy infrastructure company based in the United States, with a focus on midstream natural gas compression. It provides natural gas contract compression services and generates stable fee-based revenues.
VAALCO Energy is an independent energy company, involved in upstream business operations with a diversified presence in Africa and Canada and have a large inventory of drilling locations in the premium Acreage.
