호주의 다국적 광산업체인 BHP 그룹(NYSE:BHP)가 경쟁사인 앵글로 아메리칸(OTC:NGLOY)에 제출한 약 400억 달러 입찰은 이 회사를 인수하기에 충분하지 않을 수 있다. 왜냐하면 구리 자산에 대한 전 세계적 쟁탈전 속에서 다른 다각화된 광산업체들이 아마도 경쟁 입찰을 할 것이기 때문이다.

Life Time Group Holdings shares are trading higher following preliminary Q4 financial results.

Jade City, a platform focused on tokenizing jade gemstones, has launched &#8220;Flappy Jade,&#8221; a new mini-app game on Telegram, offering players the opportunity to earn JCT tokens and tokenized physical jade gemstones through gameplay.
&#8220;Flappy Jade,&#8221; is a Telegram-based mini-game inspired by &#8220;Flappy Bird,&#8221; designed to engage users and build community interest. 
In &#8220;Flappy Jade,&#8221; players control a dragon, navigating it through obstacles to collect jade gemstones. 
The game, which has been in development for several months with community input from a test group, features leaderboards, rewards, and an incentive system for top-performing players.
High-scoring players will be rewarded with JCT, the upcoming native utility token for Jade City, and tokenized physical jade gemstones, which will grant access to future gemstone loot boxes within the platform.
The game's integration within Telegram enables users to jump into the game without downloading additional apps, said Jade City CEO William Ralston-Saul, &#8220;With the launch of Flappy Jade, our goal is to create a fun, engaging gaming experience with real-world rewards on the line.&#8221;

Jade City&#8217;s platform, built as an EVM-compatible dApp, is led by CTO David Atkinson, who has extensive experience in crypto-economics and ecosystem design.
The platform&#8217;s unique approach aims to offer jade-backed bonds that yield up to 24% annually in tokenized physical jade. 
These bonds will be paid out in real jade, with the platform using a &#8220;buy and burn&#8221; mechanism of generated profit to benefit JCT token holders.
The company has partnered with the owners of the world&#8217;s largest jade mine to secure a significant supply, positioning Jade City to &#8220;democratize global access to the jade value chain.&#8221;
Jade City intends to use blockchain technology to enhance transparency and accessibility within the gemstone trade, allowing users to earn, trade, and speculate with tokenized jade. 
The platform will be funded by issuing jade-backed bonds in return for USD. 
While the press release highlights potential for high yield for bond holders, it is important to note that the value of these assets is not guaranteed.

Shares of Netflix Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>) were climbing on Thursday, with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43003674/netflix-to-rally-around-21-here-are-10-top-analyst-forecasts-for-wednesday">optimism ahead of its fourth-quarter results on Jan. 21</a>.
The estimate for the company's global paid net additions has been raised from 5.73 million to 9.02 million, according to Seaport Research Partners.
The Netflix Analyst: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/58f614b60bd9910001a77adf/david-joyce">Analyst David Joyce</a> upgrading the rating for from Neutral to Buy, while maintaining the price target at $955.
The Netflix Thesis: The company is "proving out its global original content, fan engagement, live sports streaming, and advertising capabilities," Joyce said in the upgrade note.
Check out <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings">other analyst stock ratings</a>.
The stock's premium valuation is justified by Netflix's rising share of highly rated content, award-winning original films and series as well as its streaming and connected TV advertising revenues, he added.
The upgrade in rating follows the recent pullback in the shares, given Netflix's "top-line and margin-expanding business model," while the estimate for the global paid net adds reflects "the special sporting events and seasonal new content releases," the analyst stated.
"Our channel checks suggest +26% growth in campaigns for ad buyers who were also buying in 4Q23," Joyce wrote. He added that Netflix's ad revenue could be up 160% to $609 million in the fourth quarter.
NFLX Price Action: Shares of Netflix were up 1.4% to $860.50 at the time of publication on Thursday.

Unpacking the Latest Options Trading Trends in Deere

Bitwise Asset Management has outlined a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/01/42973211/solana-xrp-etfs-could-outperform-ethereum-etfs-says-jpmorgan">strong investment case</a> for Solana (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/sol/usd">SOL</a>), emphasizing its unique architecture and potential for mass adoption.
According to a <a href="https://etc-group.com/blog/special-reports/the-investment-case-for-solana/files/Bitwise-Eurupe-The-Investment-Case-for-Solana-SOL.pdf">report</a> titled &#8220;The Investment Case for Solana,&#8221; Solana's high-speed, low-cost transactions, supported by its innovative monolithic design, make it a standout in the competitive Layer-1 blockchain landscape.
The core of Bitwise&#8217;s thesis revolves around the concept of &#8220;Only Possible on Solana&#8221; (OPOS), highlighting how its architecture enables unparalleled scalability and efficiency. 
Unlike Ethereum's (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) modular Layer-2 approach, Solana's monolithic framework supports millions of daily transactions at a fraction of the cost. 
This design is particularly suited for applications in gaming, decentralized finance (DeFi), and high-frequency trading, areas where Solana has already shown dominance.
"Solana's technological backbone sets it apart," the report notes. 
The blockchain uses Proof of History (PoH) combined with Delegated Proof of Stake (DPoS) to ensure speed and efficiency. 
Upcoming innovations, such as the Firedancer validator client, could push transaction speeds to an unprecedented 1 million transactions per second, attracting institutional players and enabling high-frequency trading use cases.
Bitwise also highlights Solana's robust economic model, which balances inflationary staking rewards with deflationary mechanisms like transaction fee burns. 
This alignment of incentives ensures network security while maintaining token value. 
The staking model, combined with mechanisms to curb supply, creates a dynamic that Bitwise likens to financial market practices like stock buybacks.

Developer activity and ecosystem growth further bolster Solana's investment appeal. 
The platform hosts a vibrant ecosystem with projects spanning DeFi, NFTs and Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks (DePIN).
High-profile collaborations with companies like Shopify and Circle validate its real-world utility. 
Additionally, Solana's user experience simplifies the onboarding process for developers, making it a preferred choice for building scalable decentralized applications.
The report acknowledges challenges, including criticisms around decentralization. 
However, Solana's resilience during network stress tests and its ability to maintain performance under pressure have reinforced its position as a leading Layer-1 blockchain.
Bitwise states that Solana offers a compelling combination of speed, efficiency and innovation, making it a strong high-beta investment option compared to Bitcoin and Ethereum.
With its unique ability to process high transaction volumes while supporting a diverse ecosystem, Solana is well-positioned for institutional and retail adoption in the evolving blockchain space.

What the Options Market Tells Us About 3M

Orangekloud Technology Shares Halted On Circuit Breaker To The Upside, Stock Now Up 9.70%

While I generally shy away from thematic investing, two compelling sectors stand out as we look toward 2025: energy and regional/micro-cap banks, particularly those showing strong insider buying and attractive yields. Let me explain why these areas deserve special attention.
&nbsp;Banking has been a cornerstone of my investment approach for nearly four decades, consistently generating substantial returns for myself, my clients, and my readers. The sector&#8217;s appeal stems from our early 1990s discovery of the remarkable opportunity in small and regional bank investing, focusing on valuation and margin of safety principles, enhanced by dividend factors.
Banks are emerging from what I call the &#8220;proverbial winter&#8221; of the Biden administration, which maintained a notably unfriendly stance toward financial services, particularly regarding merger and acquisition activity. Regardless of one&#8217;s political views, the anticipated Trump administration promises a markedly different approach, featuring bank-friendly policies, reduced corporate taxes, and lighter regulatory oversight. While interest rate trajectories remain uncertain, these factors collectively paint an optimistic picture for the banking industry. The energy sector presents an equally compelling investment case. While natural gas typically dominates our discussions due to its crucial role in home heating and electricity generation, today I want talk about oil and refined products in today&#8217;s world.
The market&#8217;s premature dismissal of traditional combustion engines in favor of electric vehicles has created interesting opportunities. Despite widespread predictions, the transition to EVs hasn&#8217;t materialized as rapidly as projected. The reality is stark: we won&#8217;t achieve 100% renewable energy by 2030, and attempting to do so could prove catastrophically disruptive.
Our power grid remains unprepared for mass EV adoption, charging infrastructure is inadequate, and millions of traditional vehicles will continue operating well into the 2030s.
HF Sinclair (Ticker: DINO) Following their Sinclair Oil acquisition, this company has emerged as an energy sector powerhouse. Their assets include:
<ul>
<li>Seven refineries across Mid-Continent, West, and Pacific regions </li>
<li>678,000 barrels daily refining capacity </li>
<li>1,500 branded retail stations plus 300 licensed sites </li>
<li>4,400 miles of pipeline infrastructure </li>
<li>18.3 million barrels of storage capacity </li>
<li>Growing renewable diesel operations</li>
</ul>
Trading at 12x earnings and 70% of book value, offering a 5.54% dividend yield, DINO presents compelling value. Recent insider buying, particularly from the CFO and CEO, adds confidence to the investment thesis. The company maintains a shareholder-friendly stance, having returned $954 million through dividends and buybacks as of September 2024, with a new $1 billion repurchase program announced.
Financial Institutions Inc. (Ticker: FISI) This parent company of Five Star Bank, operating throughout western New York, presents an interesting turnaround story. After addressing low-yielding securities through a strategic stock offering, raising $95 million to restructure their portfolio, FISI stands poised for improved performance. Their business model features:
<ul>
<li>49 branches across key western New York markets </li>
<li>$6 billion in total assets </li>
<li>Strong indirect auto lending business (19% of loans) </li>
<li>Conservative lending practices </li>
<li>Solid deposit base with reduced reliance on brokered deposits</li>
</ul>
Trading at 8x earnings with a 4.69% dividend yield, FISI has attracted significant insider buying, particularly during their recent offering. The management team&#8217;s substantial personal investment signals confidence in their portfolio restructuring strategy.
Both companies represent undervalued opportunities in sectors positioned for strong performance regardless of broader economic or political developments. Their combination of insider confidence, attractive yields, and fundamental value creates a compelling investment case for 2025.
This analysis exemplifies our continued focus on identifying opportunities where insider buying, attractive valuations, and strong dividend yields converge in sectors with favorable long-term prospects.

C-Suite Buy of the Week: Investment Potential in Regional Banking and Energy

Flexible Solutions International, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FSI#NYSE">FSI</a>) shares surged on Thursday after the company entered into a new partnership with a U.S.-based company to manufacture food-grade products under <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/manufacturing">a non-exclusive agreement</a>.
The agreement, which started on Jan. 7, is set for a five-year term, with the possibility of automatic renewals for up to 25 years unless either party gives written notice to cancel.
Based on FSI&#8217;s estimates, the contract could bring in annual revenue ranging from $15 million to $30 million or more.
FSI anticipates starting to generate revenue in about six months, following the expansion of its clean room facilities and the installation of the required manufacturing equipment to meet its client&#8217;s stringent quality standards.

This agreement could play a key role as FSI aims to strengthen its presence in the growing food-grade industry.
The company sees this contract as a solid base for future opportunities in the sector and is actively pursuing new clients to expand its reach in this market.
&#8220;This is a very significant contract that could provide revenue for many years. It is confirmation that our decision to enter the food grade market was correct and it is a strong base to build on as we work to obtain more business selling food grade products to US customers,&#8221; said CEO Dan O&#8217;Brien.
The company develops and produces biodegradable polymers used in oil extraction, detergent components, water treatment, and crop nutrient chemistry.
Additionally, FSI is expanding its footprint in the food and nutrition supplement manufacturing sectors.
