Luna Innovations Incorporated (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LUNA#NASDAQ">LUNA</a>) (the "Company"), a global leader in advanced fiber optic-based technology, today announced that it has received a written notice (the "Notice") on November 14, 2024, from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") stating that because the Company has not yet filed its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 (the "Q3 2024 Form 10-Q") and because the Company remains delinquent in filing its Form 10-Qs for the quarters ended March 31, 2024 (the "Q1 2024 Form 10-Q") and June 30, 2024 (the "Q2 2024 Form 10-Q") and its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 (the "2023 Form 10-K", and collectively with the Q1 2024 10-Q, Q2 2024 10-Q and Q3 2024 10-Q, the "Delinquent Filings"), it is not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) (the "Rule"), which requires listed companies to timely file all required periodic financial reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). As previously announced, the Company received earlier notices of non-compliance with respect to the Rule on August 20, 2024, May 17, 2024 and April 2, 2024 because it had not yet filed its Q2 2024 Form 10-Q, Q1 2024 Form 10-Q and 2023 Form 10-K, respectively.
This Notice has no immediate effect on the listing of the Company's shares on Nasdaq. However, if the Company fails to timely regain compliance with the Rule, the Company's common stock will be subject to delisting from Nasdaq.
As previously disclosed on October 7, 2024, the Company intended to appeal a determination by the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Department to delist the Company's securities due to the Company's Delinquent Filings. On October 8, 2024, the Company timely requested a hearing before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the "Panel") and requested that the automatic stay of suspension be extended through the completion of the hearings process and the expiration of any additional extension period granted by the Panel following the hearing. The hearing is scheduled for November 26, 2024 and the request for the automatic stay of suspension was granted.
The Company is working diligently to complete its Delinquent Filings and will provide an update once more information is available.

Lifeway Foods, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LWAY#NASDAQ">LWAY</a>) ("Lifeway" or the "Company"), a leading U.S. supplier of kefir and fermented probiotic products to support the microbiome, confirmed that it has received a revised, unsolicited, non-binding proposal from Danone North America PBC ("Danone") to acquire all outstanding shares of common stock of Lifeway it does not already own for $27.00 per share in cash. According to the Schedule 13D amendment filed today with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission disclosing the revised proposal, Danone beneficially owns approximately 23.3% of Lifeway's outstanding common stock.
On November 5, 2024, Lifeway announced that its Board of Directors (the "Board") had rejected Danone's initial unsolicited, non-binding proposal to acquire all the shares of Lifeway that it does not already own for $25.00 per share because the Board determined that the initial proposal substantially undervalued Lifeway and was not in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders and other stakeholders.
Consistent with its fiduciary duties, Lifeway's board of directors, in consultation with its independent outside advisors, will carefully review and evaluate the revised proposal to determine the course of action that it believes is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders and other stakeholders.
The Company does not undertake any obligation to provide any updates with respect to this or any other proposal or transaction, except as required under applicable law.
Lifeway shareholders do not need to take any action at this time.
Evercore is serving as a financial advisor to Lifeway and Sidley Austin LLP is serving as legal counsel to Lifeway.

Today, Coinbase Global, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COIN#NASDAQ">COIN</a>) experienced a Power Inflow, a significant event for those who follow where smart money goes and value order flow analytics in their trading decisions. 
Today, at 10:08 AM on November 15th, a significant trading signal occurred for Coinbase Global, Inc.as it demonstrated a Power Inflow at a price of $280.69. This indicator is crucial for traders who want to know directionally where institutions and so-called "smart money" moves in the market.

The Power Inflow points to a possible uptrend in Coinbase&#8217;s stock, marking a potential entry point for traders looking to capitalize on the expected upward movement. Traders with this signal closely watch for sustained momentum in Coinbase&#8217;s stock price, interpreting this event as a bullish sign.
Signal description
Order flow analytics, aka transaction or market flow analysis, separate and study both the retail and institutional volume rate of orders (flow). It involves analyzing the flow of buy and sell orders, along with size, timing, and other associated characteristics and patterns, to gain insights and make more informed trading decisions. This particular indicator is interpreted as a bullish signal by active traders.&nbsp;
The Power Inflow occurs within the first two hours of the market open and generally signals the trend that helps gauge the stock&#8217;s overall direction, powered by institutional activity in the stock, for the remainder of the day.&nbsp;
By incorporating order flow analytics into their trading strategies, market participants can better interpret market conditions, identify trading opportunities, and potentially improve their trading performance. But let's not forget that while watching smart money flow can provide valuable insights, it is crucial to incorporate effective risk management strategies to protect capital and mitigate potential losses. Employing a consistent and effective risk management plan helps traders navigate the uncertainties of the market in a more controlled and calculated manner, increasing the likelihood of long-term success

The yield on the 10-year Treasury bond is not too far from the critical 5% mark, and for investors, this could be the financial equivalent of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/interest-rates">a seismic portfolio shift.</a>
Historically, when bond yields rise this high, they don't just invite competition with stocks: They start stealing the show.
In a note shared with clients on Friday, Bank of America analyst Savita Subramanian indicated that a 5% yield is the level at which bonds start to be more attractive than stocks.
Here's the logic: stocks carry risk, volatility, and higher expected returns. Bonds, especially Treasuries, the opposite. 
If both assets, for some reason, offer a similar return, why bother with the headaches of equities?
The logic is tied to the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/11/41950023/us-stock-markets-equity-risk-premium-disappears-should-you-sell-now">equity risk premium (ERP)</a> — the extra return investors demand for holding riskier stocks instead of safer bonds. 
Suppose a 10-year Treasury bond yields a 5% return with virtually no risk. In that case, it becomes harder to justify holding volatile equities unless they can deliver returns well above that level.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">What The Data Says</h3>
The numbers don't lie: as yields climb, stock allocations typically fall. BofA's proprietary sell-side indicator shows that when 10-year yields rise above 5%, Wall Street tends to trim stock allocations. 
When yields hit 6% or high, the average investor portfolio's equity allocation shrinks to around 50%.
David Rosenberg, a veteran economist, echoed this sentiment on social media platform X, writing earlier this week, "With this move in bond yields, we are now just 10 basis points away from the Equity Risk Premium shifting negative. Ergo, investors are willing to pay to take on equity risk instead of getting paid to."

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">But Wait—Stocks Don't Always Follow the Rules</h3>
Before you start dumping your Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) shares for Treasuries, it's worth noting that the equity risk premium isn't perfect at predicting short-term market moves. 
In fact, periods of low or even negative ERP can persist for months or years while stocks continue to perform well.
For example, in 2023 and 2024, the S&amp;P 500 operated under a low or zero ERP but still delivered stellar returns, defying expectations. 
Bank of America acknowledged this potential for resilience. Real rates today—defined as the difference between the yield of a Treasury at 10 years and the 10-year inflation expectations—are around 2%, &#8220;but they can move higher without impacting equities."
In prior cycles, like the productivity boom from 1985 to 2005, real rates averaged 3.5%, yet the S&amp;P 500 posted annual returns of 15%.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">A Manageable Rate Risk For S&amp;P 500 Companies?</h3>
Despite rising yields, the S&amp;P 500 may be more insulated than some investors think. 
Around 80% of S&amp;P 500 debt is long-term and fixed, compared to less than 50% in 2008. This means companies are less exposed to the immediate impact of higher bond yields.
Additionally, the current real yield of roughly 2% is consistent with historical averages since 1950. While rates could climb further, it doesn't necessarily spell doom for equities.
Bottom line, if 10-year Treasury yields climb above 5%, it could fundamentally shift the risk-reward equation for stocks versus bonds, luring investors toward safer assets. But, the validity of the equity risk premium for market timing is not a crystal ball. 
Historical trends and current market conditions suggest stocks may still find a way to thrive, even in a higher-rate environment.

Return To 5% Bond Yields Could Tempt Investors: Are Stocks At Risk Of Losing Out?

Martha Stewart, the queen of home and garden and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40115264/martha-stewart-is-pissed-at-elon-musk-says-cybertruck-is-too-crazy-for-her-i-loved-tesla">America&#8217;s original influencer</a>, recently shared a surprising tidbit about one of her closest collaborators: Snoop Dogg. The famous rapper, known for his cool style and relaxed personality, has been a surprising but helpful mentor to Stewart when it comes to learning how to negotiate.
Don't Miss:

<li>The global games market is projected to generate $272B by the end of the year –<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/gameflip"> for $0.55/share, this VC-backed startup with a 7M+ userbase gives investors easy access to this asset market.</a></li>

</ul>
Martha discussed the lessons she gained from Snoop in a recent interview with The Wall Street Journal, stating, &#8220;I&#8217;ve learned how to negotiate even better than ever.&#8221; The two have collaborated on several projects, such as <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/24/04/38111169/snoop-dogg-and-martha-stewart-are-making-millions-as-unlikely-powerhouse-duo-collab-on-everything-fr">their popular culinary show</a>, &#8220;Martha &amp; Snoop&#8217;s Potluck Dinner Party,&#8221; where their peculiar bond developed. Martha explained that when they work together, she watches how Snoop handles contract negotiations and she has picked up some savvy techniques by following his lead.
&#8220;We do a lot of work together and I wait for him to negotiate the contract, then I go and follow him,&#8221; she added with a laugh. Snoop's approach, often described as confident but easygoing, has left an impression on Stewart, who says she's applying some of his methods to her business dealings.

It&#8217;s a bit of a role reversal – you&#8217;d expect Martha to be teaching the lessons, especially in a business setting. After all, her rise to success is nothing short of iconic. She was a model and then a stockbroker in New York City before becoming the Martha Stewart we know today.&nbsp;
She quit Wall Street in the 1970s to launch her own catering business out of her kitchen, which would eventually result in the development of her enormous media empire. Her first book, published in 1982 and simply called "Entertaining," became an instant hit and established her as the go-to expert for cooking and lifestyle advice.
By the 1990s, Martha had launched her magazine, Martha Stewart Living and in 1999, she became America&#8217;s first self-made female billionaire when her company, Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia, went public. Although serving time in prison for conspiracy and making false statements in 2004 dealt a serious blow to her career, Martha bounced back stronger than ever, using her trademark flair and tenacity to launch new projects and grow her brand.

Even with all of this under her belt – building a business empire, authoring nearly 100 books and staging a remarkable comeback after a public fall – Martha still sees value in learning from others. This is where Snoop comes in.
The two have become quite the dynamic duo since they first connected in 2008, when Martha invited Snoop onto her daytime talk show to make mashed potatoes. Unquestionably, they clicked and ever since, they have remained friends and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/24/04/38111169/snoop-dogg-and-martha-stewart-are-making-millions-as-unlikely-powerhouse-duo-collab-on-everything-fr">worked together on several great projects</a>, including Comedy Central&#8217;s roast of Justin Bieber.
Despite having completely different personalities, they seem to complement one another well, whether they&#8217;re tackling difficult business situations or cooking up a storm. Stewart&#8217;s readiness to pick up tips from Snoop demonstrates that even the most seasoned businesspeople can benefit from fresh perspectives. It also shows that sometimes the most unexpected people teach the best lessons.

Martha Stewart Reveals An Unexpected Mentor Who Helped Her 'Negotiate Even Better Than Ever'

Editor&#8217;s note: This story has been updated with comment from Fox News. 
Economist and news analyst Larry Kudlow could return to a role in the White House with the former National Economic Council Director being eyed for a role among Donald Trump's growing list of possible <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/24/11/41993115/trump-taps-rfk-jr-for-health-secretary-role-sends-5-vaccine-stocks-lower">Cabinet nominees and advisors.</a>
What Happened: Kudlow, who is a Fox Business Network host, served as the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/larry-kudlow"> National Economic Council Director </a>for Trump from 2018 to 2021.
Kudlow is being eyed to return to the Trump administration after Trump's recent win in the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/41768178/donald-trump-defeats-kamala-harris-to-win-2024-election"> 2024 presidential election.</a>
The economist, who met with Trump recently at Mar-a-Lago, could be considered to lead the National Economic Council once again or for a role within the Treasury Department, as <a href="https://www.wsj.com/politics/larry-kudlow-economic-role-trump-cabinet-3af2a446?mod=hp_lead_pos2">reported </a>Friday by the Wall Street Journal.
Kudlow has remained in touch with Trump since leaving the White House and has spoken positively of the president-elect on Fox Business, leading to Trump allies supporting the economist&#8217;s return to a White House role, according to the report.
Fox News told Benzinga in a statement Friday that Kudlow isn&#8217;t going anywhere. 
"Larry Kudlow recently signed a new deal to continue hosting his eponymous program on FOX Business and has no plans to leave his current role helming one of the highest rated shows on the network,&#8221; a Fox spokesperson said.

</ul>
Why It's Important: Kudlow began his role as National Economic Council Director in April 2018 and remained in the role until the end of Trump's presidency. While other members of Trump's cabinet and administration left or got fired, Kudlow stayed. 
Reports of Kudlow being considered for a White House role comes as some Trump allies say there is a growing battle between several candidates like Howard Lutnick and Scott Bessent for economic roles in the Trump administration.
The campaigning for the role of Treasury secretary has upset Trump, according to the report, which could mean he goes a different direction in naming his new economic advisor and leadership picks.
Other names being considered for economic positions include Apollo Global Management CEO Marc Rowan and former U.S. trade representative Robert Lighthizer, the WSJ reported. 
The week has been full of several announcements from Trump on who he is planning to nominate for key White House roles once his term begins in January. More announcements are expected between now and then.

As a result of this reverse split, every twenty shares of the Fund will be exchanged for one share as indicated above. Accordingly, the total number of the issued and outstanding shares for the Fund will decrease by the approximate percentage indicated above. In addition, the per share net asset value (NAV) and next day's opening market price will be approximately twenty times higher for the Fund. Shares of the Fund will begin trading on the NYSE Arca on a split-adjusted basis on November 26, 2024.
A shareholder's investment value will not be affected by the reverse split. The table below illustrates the effect of a hypothetical one-for-twenty reverse split anticipated for the Fund, as applicable and described above:

The Trust's transfer agent will notify the Depository Trust Company (DTC) of the reverse split and instruct DTC to adjust each shareholder's investment(s) accordingly. DTC is the registered owner of the Fund's shares and maintains a record of the Fund's record owners.
Redemption of Fractional Shares and Tax Consequences for the Reverse Split
As a result of the reverse split, a shareholder of the Fund's shares potentially could hold a fractional share. However, fractional shares cannot trade on the NYSE Arca. Thus, the Fund will redeem for cash a shareholder's fractional shares at the Fund's split-adjusted NAV as of the Effective Date. A shareholder could recognize a gain or loss in connection with the redemption of the shareholder's fractional shares.
"Odd Lot" Unit
As a result of the reverse split, the Fund may have outstanding one aggregation of less than 5,000 shares to make a creation unit, or an "odd lot unit." Thus, the Fund will provide one authorized participant with a one-time opportunity to redeem the odd lot unit after the split-adjusted NAV is struck on November 26, 2024.

Blue Bird's (BLBD) third-quarter results beat analysts' expectations easily. While the company's long-term outlook appears rosy with continuous innovation and expanding capabilities, it struggles with rigid competition and higher operating expenses in the near term. So, let's analyze whether Blue Bird is the best play in the electric school bus industry. Continue reading… Blue Bird Corporation (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/BLBD/">BLBD</a>), a leader in electric and low-emission school buses, surpassed the third-quarter top and bottom-line analyst expectations. The company posted a net sales of $333.37 million, surpassing the consensus estimate of $326.69 million. Also, its non-GAAP EPS was $0.91 for the third quarter, compared to analysts' expectations of $0.51.
During August, Blue Bird delivered its 2,000th electric, zero-emission school bus, marking an industry-leading milestone and reinstating its leadership in the segment. The company delivered its new, extended-range battery, CCSD's milestone zero-emission vehicle that can carry 84 students to Clark County School District in Nevada.
Also, during the third quarter, the company was selected to receive an $80 million grant from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to expand its electric vehicle manufacturing capabilities and related workforce development efforts. BLBD also upgraded the comprehensive safety of its school buses, offering an unprecedented array of safety systems.
Further, the global automotive growth, accelerated by electrification and resilient demand, offers lucrative growth opportunities for Blue Bird. <a href="https://press.spglobal.com/2024-09-26-S-P-Global-Mobility-September-U-S-auto-sales-smaller-volume,-little-change-to-underlying-dynamics">S&amp;P Global Mobility</a> reported US light vehicle sales of 1.18 million in September 2024. It translates to a seasonally adjusted rate of 16.0 million units, up from the 15.2 million unit reading in August.
Besides, the global electric bus market is projected to grow from $32.15 billion in 2024 to reach around $113.06 billion by 2034, exhibiting growth at a noteworthy <a href="https://www.precedenceresearch.com/electric-bus-market#:~:text=The%20global%20electric%20bus%20market,13.4%25%20from%202024%20to%202034.">CAGR of 13.4%</a> propelled by rising environmentally friendly practices, low consumption of fuel and gasoline, and growing government initiatives. This will further benefit BLBD and accelerate its operations.
Shares of BLBD gained 26.9% over the past six months and 141.8% over the past year to close its last trading session at $45.68. However, the stock declined 8.8% over the past month.
Let's look at factors that could influence BLBD's performance in the upcoming months.
Recent Developments
On July 11, BLBD was selected to receive a $80 million grant from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to expand its electric vehicle manufacturing capabilities and connect workforce development endeavors. The financial award will allow BLBD to reinvest in middle Georgia, a previously manufactured high-end motorhomes site, and add a state-of-the-art electric vehicle manufacturing facility.
BLBD will also be able to expand its workforce and invest in a community that is integral to its history and continued success. The conversion will assist BLBD in increasing the production of Type-D electric school buses to meet the rising demand for clean student transportation nationwide. Also, the converted facility will add more than 400 new, good-paying manufacturing jobs.
Also, on June 13, BLBD introduced the most comprehensive safety upgrades to its school buses. BLBA buses will feature an unprecedented array of safety systems to protect school children, bus drivers, and other road users. The company enhanced its safety leadership to help prevent injuries and save lives.
Robust Financials
For the third quarter that ended June 29, 2024, BLBD's net sales increased 13.3% year-over-year to $333.37 million. Its gross profit grew 51.6% year-over-year to $69.35 million. The company's operating profit grew 104.5% from the year-ago value to $39.73 million.
Furthermore, the company's adjusted net income of $30.54 million indicates growth of 110.7% year-over-year. And its adjusted earnings per share came in at $0.91, up 106.8% from the prior year's quarter. Its adjusted EBITDA rose 62.6% from the year-ago value to $48.25 million.
As of June 29, 2024, BLBD's total assets stood at $468.07 million, compared to $417.77 million as of September 30, 2023.
Solid Historical Growth
BLBD's revenue grew at a CAGR of 18.9% over the past three years, while its EBITDA improved at a CAGR of 55.9%. Its EBIT increased at a CAGR of 71.9% over the same period, while the company's net income and EPS grew at respective CAGRs of 92.1% and 80.2% over the same time frame.
Mixed Analyst Estimates
Analysts expect BLBD's revenue for the fourth quarter (ended September 2024) to come in at $324.30 million, indicating an increase of 7% year-over-year. However, the consensus EPS estimate is expected to decelerate marginally year-over-year to $0.65 over the same period. Moreover, the company has surpassed the consensus revenue and EPS estimates in each of the trailing four quarters.
For the fiscal year (ended September 2024), the company's revenue and EPS are anticipated to grow 16.6% and 212.8% year-over-year to $1.32 billion and $3.35, respectively. In addition, Street expects its revenue and EPS for the fiscal year (ending September 2025) to grow 10.3% and 10.2% from the prior year to $1.46 billion and $3.69, respectively.
Unfavorable Profitability
BLBD's trailing-12-month <a href="https://www.investopedia.com/terms/g/gross_profit_margin.asp">gross profit margin</a> of 18.97% is 40.1% lower than the 31.66% industry average. Its trailing-12-month EBITDA margin of 11.97% is 14.8% lower than the industry average of 14.06%. The stock's trailing-12-month Levered FCF margin of 3.83% is lower than the industry average of 6.57%.
POWR Ratings Reflect Uncertainty
BLBD's mixed prospects are projected in its <a href="https://stocknews.com/powr-ratings/">POWR Ratings</a>. The stock has an overall rating of C, translating to a Neutral in our proprietary system. The POWR Ratings are calculated by considering 118 different factors, with each factor weighted to an optimal degree.
Our proprietary rating system also evaluates each stock based on eight distinct categories. BLBD has a C grade for Momentum. BLBD is currently trading above its 200-day moving average of $42.29 but is trading below its 50-day moving average of $47.94, respectively, indicating a mixed trend.
Also, with a 24-month beta of 1.41, the stock has earned a grade of D for Stability. It also has a D grade for Sentiment, which is in sync with its mixed analyst estimates.
BLBD is ranked #19 among the 53 stocks in the <a href="https://stocknews.com/category/auto-vehicle-makers/">Auto &amp; Vehicle Manufacturers</a> industry.
Beyond what I have stated above, we have also given BLBD grades for Growth, Value, and Quality. Get access to all the BLBD ratings <a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/BLBD/">here</a>.
Bottom Line
BLBD is a leading electric and low-emission school bus company, prospering with supportive government grants, solid revenue growth, and continuous expansion of its operations and capacity. Also, with the surging transformation to low-emission vehicles, the company is poised to expand further.
However, the company continues to grapple with high operating expenses and rigid competition from its peers.
Given BLBD's mixed profitability and uncertain near-term growth prospects, waiting for a better entry point in this stock seems prudent.
Stocks to Consider Instead of Blue Bird Corporation (BLBD)
Given its near-term uncertain prospects, the chances of BLBD outperforming in the coming weeks and months are compromised. However, there are many industry peers with much more impressive POWR Ratings. So, consider these A (Strong Buy) or B (Buy) stocks from the <a href="https://stocknews.com/category/auto-vehicle-makers/">Auto &amp; Vehicle Manufacturers</a> industry instead:
