Peabody (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BTU#NYSE">BTU</a>) today announced it has agreed to acquire world-class steelmaking coal assets from Anglo American plc in a transaction that meaningfully accelerates Peabody's strategy to reweight its global coal portfolio toward seaborne metallurgical coal. The transaction is expected to close mid-2025, subject to customary closing conditions.
In consideration for the transaction:
<ul>
<li>Peabody has agreed to pay cash of $2,320 million, comprised of cash of $1,695 million at closing and deferred payments of $625 million payable in four annual installments commencing on the first anniversary of the completion date.</li>
<li>Peabody has also agreed to further contingent payments of up to $1.0 billion, subject to potential favorable future events.</li>
<li>Proceeds to Anglo American would also include $455 million made possible by the acquisition of Dawson Mine by PT Bukit Makmur Mandiri Utama in a back-to-back transaction.</li>
</ul>
"This transformative transaction presents a rare opportunity for Peabody to acquire premier steelmaking coal assets at a compelling valuation as we reweight our portfolio toward seaborne metallurgical coal," Peabody President and Chief Executive Officer Jim Grech said. "The transaction is strategically aligned, immediately accretive and highly synergistic, positioning us to better serve the best metallurgical coal demand centers in the world. This transaction gives us a strong foundation to position the company for long-term success."
"We are delighted to agree to the sale of this portfolio of world-class steelmaking coal assets to Peabody, and we look forward to working together with the Peabody team and with our workforce, local communities, government, customers and partners to ensure a successful transition," Anglo American Chief Executive Duncan Wanblad added.
The acquisition includes four metallurgical coal mines – Moranbah North, Grosvenor, Aquila, and Capcoal – located in Australia's Bowen Basin, which is widely recognized for the world's highest-quality steelmaking coal. Approximately 80 percent of the mines' output is hard coking coal. The mines are complementary to Peabody's existing Australian platform, including Centurion Mine, and are expected to produce approximately 11.3 million tons of primarily hard coking coal in 2026. The acquired mines have an average mine life greater than 20 years with 306 million tons of marketable reserves and an additional 1.7 billion tons of coal resources.2
The acquisition is expected to transform Peabody's metallurgical coal segment, increasing metallurgical coal production from an estimated 7.4 million tons in 2024 to an expected 21 – 22 million tons in 2026.
Strategic and Financial Benefits
Peabody believes the acquisition demonstrates multiple compelling strategic and financial benefits, as the transaction:
<ul>
<li>Increases exposure to premium hard coking coal and key high-growth markets: With a greatly expanded Australian metallurgical coal portfolio, Peabody will be poised to meet increasing demand in Asian markets, which represent the entire growth in global steel demand over the past decade and the vast majority of all projected growth in metallurgical coal demand through 2050. The acquired assets' coal quality and proximity to key markets in Asia provides substantial opportunities to better serve customers.</li>
<li>Creates opportunity to capture substantial synergies: Peabody expects significant estimated synergy opportunities of approximately $100 million per year to be realized through efficiencies from office rationalization, selling, general &amp; administrative savings, and marketing opportunities.</li>
<li>Enhances margins and through-the-cycle performance: The acquired assets' coal quality will upgrade Peabody's metallurgical coal platform and is superior to the peer average. Assuming consensus hard coking coal prices of $225 per metric ton, Peabody anticipates Adjusted EBITDA margins3 of $65 to $70 per ton on the anticipated 11.3 million tons of 2026 coal sales attributable to the acquisition.</li>
<li>Bolsters Peabody's attractive financial profile: The company expects the transaction to be meaningfully accretive to cash flows across all time periods on a levered operating cash flow less CapEx basis. The transaction implies an attractive 3.1x times enterprise-value-to-2026 EBITDA multiple. The company also believes the increased exposure to metallurgical coal creates the potential for a favorable re-rating of the company's valuation, given stronger multiples for metallurgical coal producers with long-lived assets.</li>
<li>Accelerates company's sustainability and emission target ambitions: Peabody continues to strengthen its sustainability through a number of activities, including reweighting its portfolio toward steelmaking coal, joint venture initiatives to develop solar power and battery storage on former mine lands, and fully funding final reclamation obligations. Additionally, after achieving its first reduction targets for Scope 1 and 2 emissions, the company's Board of Directors intends to establish new long-term targets including the newly acquired assets in the coming months.</li>
</ul>
"This value-enhancing acquisition builds upon actions we have taken in recent years to strengthen our balance sheet and expand shareholder returns. Subsequent to the transaction closing, we anticipate continuing our shareholder return program based on available free cash flow, while a portion of cash flows will be used to fund the transaction during the deferred payment period," Peabody Chief Financial Officer Mark Spurbeck said. "Once we fully integrate the acquired metallurgical coal assets into our seaborne portfolio, we will have an even stronger platform to provide significant value upside to our shareholders."
Additional Transaction Details
Peabody's acquisition is contingent on regulatory approvals, clearance of pre-emption rights by minority partners of the assets, and other customary closing conditions.
The company has secured a bridge facility commitment to finance the acquisition. The company intends to obtain permanent financing in lieu of borrowing under the bridge facility and targets a debt-to-EBITDA ratio ceiling of approximately 1.5x.
The transaction agreement provides for an upfront cash payment of $1,695 million, as well as $625 million of deferred cash consideration to be paid over a four-year period4, $450 million of contingent consideration based on the successful restart of Grosvenor5, and up to $550 million of contingent consideration based on a revenue sharing agreement over a five-year period6.&nbsp;All referenced transaction components exclude the Dawson Mine, which Indonesia's PT Bukit Makmur Mandiri Utama (BUMA) has agreed to acquire for total consideration of $455 million ($355 million upfront cash and $100 million in four annual installments commencing on the first anniversary of the Dawson transaction completion date), subject to pre-emption rights and other customary closing conditions.
"Peabody appreciates the shared values of Anglo American across safety, sustainability, productivity and social license matters, and we look forward to welcoming the experienced employees related to these assets to the Peabody team," Mr. Grech said. "We also look forward to again teaming up with the leading global partners who share not only ownership interests in these mines but also our view of the long-term value of these assets."

Rocket Lab USA, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RKLB#NASDAQ">RKLB</a>) ("Rocket Lab" or "the Company"), a global leader in launch services and space systems, today successfully launched its 56th Electron mission, deploying five satellites to Low Earth Orbit for French Internet-of-Things (IoT) constellation operator Kinéis.

The "Ice AIS Baby" mission lifted-off from Rocket Lab Launch Complex 1 in Mahia, New Zealand at 4:55 pm on 25 November NZDT (03:55 UTC), successfully deploying five satellites to a 643 km low Earth orbit. The mission was Rocket Lab's 14th mission of 2024 and 56th launch overall. It also brought the total count of satellites deployed by Rocket Lab to 203, further cementing Electron's position as the leading small launch vehicle globally. The launch took place just 21 hours and 55 minutes after Rocket Lab completed a successful mission from Launch Complex 2 in Virginia, setting a new company record for fastest turnaround between launches.
Rocket Lab founder and CEO Sir Peter Beck said: "Two successful launches less than 24 hours apart from pads in different hemispheres. That's unprecedented capability in the small launch market and one we're immensely proud to deliver at Rocket Lab. Customers like Kinéis are unlocking the potential of space and we're excited to give them the keys to do so with frequent, dedicated, and reliable small launch opportunities."
Kinéis CEO Alexandre Tisserant, says: "The Kinéis teams have once again demonstrated their technical capabilities as satellite operators by taking control of these five new satellites at a sustained launch rate. This achievement would not have been possible without Rocket Lab's Electron precision in placing our satellites in their planned positions. With 15 Kinéis satellites now in orbit, we're one step closer to the full deployment of our dedicated IoT constellation for transmitting data in near-real time, anywhere on the globe. Congratulations to all our teams, who are doing an incredible job - and, let's not forget, a European first! We're equally enthusiastic about our second mission, AIS. In a rapidly consolidating market, Kinéis is establishing itself as a sovereign European player, combining technological expertise and strategic independence. With our new AIS offering, we provide maritime players with enhanced visibility over their fleets, while ensuring higher data reliability."
The "Ice AIS Baby" mission was the third of five dedicated Electron launches for Kinéis, a company backed by private and public investors including the French government's space agency CNES (Centre National d'Études Spatiales) and CLS (Collecte Localisation Satellites), an international space-based solutions provider, to improve global IoT connectivity. The Kinéis constellation is designed to make it possible to connect and locate any connected object anywhere in the world, enabling data transmission to users in near-real time, at low bit rates and with very low energy consumption. By enabling internet connection to the Earth's most remote locations, Kinéis constellation can support forest fire detection, water resource management, infrastructure and energy network monitoring, transport and logistics tracking, and much more.

A DHL (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DHLGY#OTC">DHLGY</a>) cargo plane crashed into a house near Vilnius, Lithuania, Monday morning, killing at least one person. 
What Happened: Lithuanian broadcaster LRT reported two people were hospitalized, with one later pronounced dead. The Boeing Co&#8216;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) Boeing 737 aircraft, operated by Swiftair, was en route from Leipzig, Germany, to Vilnius Airport, <a href="https://apnews.com/article/lithuania-dhl-cargo-plane-crash-ff6382bb359c64ca2a345d50e523c396">reported</a> the Associated Press.
Authorities have not determined the cause of the crash, though weather conditions included freezing temperatures and pre-dawn clouds. Emergency services responded, and DHL Group and Swiftair have not commented. 
The 31-year-old aircraft struck a two-story home near the airport. Older planes are common in cargo operations but may raise safety questions, according to the report.

The Dogecoin Foundation, a non-profit building open-source projects for the Dogecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/doge/usd">DOGE</a>) ecosystem, reshared an X post calling for equitable treatment for community-driven projects amid speculations of President-elect Donald Trump slashing capital gains tax on U.S.-issued cryptocurrencies.
What Happened: The Dogecoin Foundation shared arguments by a user called &#8220;junior developer,&#8221; who stated that the policy should be extended to all community-driven and open-source coins, not only those generated by U.S. companies.
&#8220;If I started a U.S. company to hardfork Dogecoin and the fact there&#8217;s a company behind it gives tax preference where classic Doge doesn&#8217;t get the same treatment, the Trump admin has chosen a network winner based on policy and preference. I reject that idea,&#8221; the user wrote.

<div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">If the Trump administration is serious about reducing friction in cryptocurrency, they should apply this rule to community-driven, free and open source coins as well:<a href="https://t.co/p9igiFHCVE">https://t.co/p9igiFHCVE</a> Please like and RT this thread. 1/n

Junior developer added that penalizing cryptocurrencies backed by communities instead of companies could promote &#8220;crony capitalism.&#8221;
&#8220;And, this is bait, but if you&#8217;re railing against the global financial system doing exactly that with central banks, I think you should rail against a government doing it even if you like the government or parts of this policy,&#8221; he stated.
The Dogecoin team didn&#8217;t immediately respond to Benzinga&#8217;s request for additional commentary on this development.

Why It Matters: The pushback comes in <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/news/trump-bold-move-could-crypto-193455642.html">response to media reports</a> that Trump could potentially transform the U.S. into a tax-free crypto haven for tokens created by U.S. companies. However, no formal confirmation has come as yet.
For U.S. taxpayers, short-term capital gains on cryptocurrencies held for less than a year are taxed at regular income rates, ranging from 10-37% depending on income and tax bracket, while long-term gains for coins held over a year are taxed at a reduced rate of 0-20%.
Tanya Solati, vice president of business development at real estate transaction platform Propy, pointed out that current tax laws, which impose a capital gains tax on every crypto-to-fiat transaction, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/10/41608619/whats-stopping-wider-crypto-adoption-it-could-be-tax-policies-says-one-expert">make daily use impractical</a> and are a significant barrier to broader adoption.

Dogecoin Foundation Shares Message Against Trump's Tax Favoritism For US Crypto Firms

Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) and Rivian Automotive Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RIVN#NASDAQ">RIVN</a>) are nearing a settlement in a lawsuit over alleged theft of battery technology. The legal confrontation, which began in 2020, accused Rivian of recruiting Tesla employees to obtain confidential engineering data.
What Happened: Initially, Tesla alleged that Rivian hired ex-employees who brought sensitive documents with them.
The lawsuit later expanded to include claims of Rivian stealing core technology for advanced batteries. Despite efforts to settle outside of court, the case went to trial last year.
Tesla has informed the court of a conditional settlement agreement with Rivian, with plans to file for dismissal by Dec. 24, according to a Bloomberg <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-11-22/tesla-says-it-s-settling-technology-theft-suit-against-rivian">report</a>. The settlement terms remain undisclosed.

Tesla, known for its openness with patents, has maintained that Rivian&#8217;s actions were deliberate theft. The focus on &#8220;next-gen batteries&#8221; hints at the possible involvement of Tesla&#8217;s 4680 battery cells.
Rivian, on the other hand, plans to use a taller 4695 battery for its future vehicles.
Tesla and Rivian did not immediately respond to a <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga</a> request for comment.
Why It Matters: The lawsuit&#8217;s roots trace back to July 2020, when <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/20/07/16744936/tesla-sues-rival-ev-maker-rivian-for-poaching-employees-stealing-intellectual-property">Tesla accused Rivian of employee poaching</a> and intellectual property theft. Tesla described an &#8220;alarming pattern&#8221; of Rivian hiring its employees and obtaining its trade secrets.
In August 2020, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/20/08/17281377/ev-maker-rivian-taps-former-tesla-exec-as-top-engineer-despite-employee-poaching-lawsuit">Rivian hired Nick Kalayjian</a>, a former Tesla executive, as its top engineer, despite the ongoing lawsuit. This move highlighted the competitive nature of the electric vehicle industry and the strategic importance of engineering talent.
By August 2023, the case was still unresolved, with a California court <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/23/08/33545095/tesla-rivian-could-clash-in-california-court-over-trade-secrets-issue-what-you-need-to-know">tentatively denying requests for summary adjudication</a>, indicating the complexity and significance of the trade secrets involved.
Price Action: Tesla stock closed 3.80% higher on Friday at $352.56, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro data</a>. Rivian stock edged up 2.20% to close at $10.24 on Friday.

Tesla, Rivian Signal End To 4-Year Legal Battle Over Alleged Trade Secrets Theft

The Future Fund LLC Managing Partner Gary Black defended his firm&#8217;s Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) investment strategy amid criticism from Tesla bulls, emphasizing a disciplined approach to position management <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42056286/tesla-is-back-in-gary-blacks-top-5-holdings">rather than short-term trading</a>.
What Happened: Black revealed that his fund&#8217;s average Tesla stock purchase price since early 2023 has been $162, while their average selling price reached $252. The disclosure came as The Future Fund recently trimmed its Tesla position at $351, following a 150% surge from April lows.
&#8220;That&#8217;s what professional investors do &#8211; buy low, sell high,&#8221; Black stated on X, addressing criticism from Tesla enthusiasts. &#8220;No one ever went broke by taking profits.&#8221;
The Future Fund began reducing its Tesla position in the fourth quarter of 2022 when it represented 12.2% of the portfolio, following Tesla&#8217;s 20% EV price cuts. 
The position now stands at 4.11% as of Nov 15, making Tesla <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42056286/tesla-is-back-in-gary-blacks-top-5-holdings">the fifth-largest holding</a> in The Future Fund Active ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FFND#NYSE">FFND</a>), behind NVIDIA Corp.

Why It Matters: Black pointed to Tesla&#8217;s earnings estimates being reduced by 59% since the price cuts, noting that competitors matched the reductions, resulting in minimal volume growth. Despite the recent rally, Tesla&#8217;s stock has underperformed the NASDAQ 100 index by 32 percentage points over the past three years.
The investment veteran expressed concern about <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/11/42028323/gary-black-defends-tesla-strategy-amid-clash-with-elon-musk-bulls-we-dont-trade-tesla-we-trim-when-the-price-goes-higher">growing polarization within the Tesla investor community</a>, noting that moderate voices face criticism for discussing potential risks. 
&#8220;In the X world, uberbulls bash fellow bulls personally for not being bullish enough. That does not happen in the real world. Portfolio discipline is rewarded, not criticized,&#8221; Black emphasized.
The debate comes amid increased attention on Tesla, with recent headlines highlighting the Cybertruck&#8217;s appearance in President-elect Donald Trump&#8216;s motorcade during a visit to SpaceX&#8217;s Starbase facility, potentially signaling new <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/42152721/tesla-cybertruck-part-of-donald-trumps-motorcade-will-vehicle-land-government-deals">opportunities in government and security sectors</a>.
Price Action: Tesla stock closed at $352.56 on Friday, up 3.80% for the day. After hours, the stock rose by 0.26%. Year-to-date, Tesla&#8217;s stock has surged by 41.92%, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

Gary Black Defends Tesla Trim At $351: 'No One Ever Went Broke By Taking Profits' Amid Stock's 150% Surge Since April

Over the weekend, Netflix Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>) co-founder Marc Randolph shared his thoughts on wealth, pointing out that true financial security goes beyond material luxuries.
What Happened: Sharing his perspective on X, formerly Twitter, he shared how, despite having the means to buy expensive items like luxury cars or wines, he values practicality over prestige.
He gave an example of Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates – who currently has a net worth of $162 billion – would fly economy, not because he couldn't afford first class, but because he didn't see it as good value.
"In the same vein, I could afford a really nice car at this point, but I've never been a car guy, and I don't need a Lamborghini or a Mazerati [Maserati] (which I can't even spell)," he stated.

Adding, "I don't need to drop $1000 on a bottle of wine at dinner either, since I know I'll get the same enjoyment from a $35 bottle."
He concluded by saying that once basic needs are met, the key to wealth lies in flexibility — the ability to choose how to spend your time and prioritize meaningful experiences.

Why It Matters: As of Aug. 28, 2024, Randolph's net worth was at $100 million, <a href="https://www.celebritynetworth.com/richest-businessmen/ceos/marc-randolph-net-worth/">according</a> to Celebrity Net Worth.
He <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/18/05/11764543/this-day-in-market-history-netflix-goes-public">co-founded Netflix</a> on Aug. 29, 1997, with Reed Hastings in Scotts Valley, California.&nbsp;
The inception of Netflix stemmed from Hastings&#8217; frustration with late <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/company-news/10/08/445627/bye-bye-blockbuster-video-store-chain-to-file-bankruptcy-next-mont">fees incurred</a> at a Blockbuster store.
The Netflix website launched in April 1998, offering around 900 titles. By 1999, Netflix introduced a subscription model that allowed unlimited rentals for a monthly fee, eliminating late fees.
This approach set the foundation for the company&#8217;s evolution into a streaming giant, which began in 2007 when it transitioned to online streaming services.
In 2002, Netflix launched its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/04/38340753/if-you-invested-1-000-in-netflix-stock-at-its-ipo-heres-how-much-youd-have-today">initial public offering</a>, selling 5.5 million shares at $15 each. In the early years, the stock delivered impressive triple-digit returns to investors.
The streaming giant currently has a market capitalization of $383.76 billion, ranking at number 25 in the list world's most valuable companies.
Last month, Netflix reported $9.825 billion in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/10/41391637/netflix-q3-earnings-revenue-beats-eps-tops-q4-guidance-projects-subscriber-boost-from-squid-game-nf">revenue for the third quarter</a>, marking a 15% increase compared to the previous year. This figure surpassed the Wall Street consensus estimate of $9.769 billion, according to data <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/?utm_source=BZprocontent101724&amp;t=be2bearmibe3na1" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">from Benzinga Pro</a>.

Netflix Co-Founder Marc Randolph Reveals Why True Wealth Isn't About Lamborghinis Or $1,000 Wines But The Freedom To Live Meaningfully

Salesforce Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRM#NYSE">CRM</a>) CEO Marc Benioff has warned that the world is reaching the &#8220;upper limits&#8221; of large language models (LLMs) like OpenAI's ChatGPT.
What Happened: Last week, Benioff shared his thoughts on the future of AI in a <a href="https://www.wsj.com/podcasts/wsj-the-future-of-everything">podcast</a> with The Wall Street Journal.
He stated that the next phase of AI development will focus on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/top-stories/24/10/41428765/microsoft-salesforce-battle-heats-up-as-ai-agent-technology-takes-center-stage">autonomous agents</a>, which can perform tasks independently, rather than relying on LLMs to drive advancements.
He argued that while AI tools like ChatGPT have received significant attention, the real potential lies in agents.

&#8220;Has the AI taken over? No. Has AI cured cancer? No. Is AI curing climate change? No. So we have to keep things in perspective here,&#8221; he stated.
Salesforce provides both prebuilt and customizable AI agents for businesses looking to automate customer service functions.
&#8220;But we are not at that moment that we&#8217;ve seen in these crazy movies — and maybe we will be one day, but that is not where we are today,&#8221; Benioff stated during the podcast.
ChatGPT-maker OpenAI is also reportedly <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/media/24/11/41964846/openais-operator-ai-agent-will-perform-tasks-like-coding-travel-booking-and-more-launch-expected-in-january-next-year-report">planning the launch</a> of its own set of agents.

Why It Matters: Previously, Nvidia Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) CEO Jensen Huang said that he believes humans will eventually work alongside AI agents and &#8220;AI employees.&#8221;
Last month, Nvidia announced its partnership with Accenture Plc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ACN#NYSE">ACN</a>) which aims to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/10/41156669/jensen-huang-on-transformative-partnership-with-accenture-ai-as-digital-employees-will-revolutio">deploy AI agents across corporations</a>.
Last month, Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) also announced that businesses will be able to create their <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/top-stories/24/10/41428765/microsoft-salesforce-battle-heats-up-as-ai-agent-technology-takes-center-stage">own autonomous AI agents</a> starting in November. This development came after Salesforce introduced its AI tools in September with the launch of Agentforce.
Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates has also previously <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/41736493/microsoft-co-founder-bill-gates-says-everyone-in-future-will-have-a-utilitarian-ai-agent-that-will-h">echoed similar sentiments</a> as Huang.
Earlier, Tony Fadell, co-creator of the iPod, also voiced his concerns about LLMs, calling them &#8220;know-it-alls.&#8221; He acknowledged that while LLMs can be useful in areas like entertainment, they shouldn&#8217;t be universally adopted due to their <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41616573/ipod-co-creator-tony-fadell-dismisses-chatgpt-type-llms-saying-were-trying-to-make-science-fiction-h">tendency to make mistakes</a>.

Marc Benioff Says Future Of AI Not In Bots Like ChatGPT But In Autonomous Agents: We Aren't At The Moment Seen In Those 'Crazy' Movies

Australia&#8217;s Prime Minister Anthony Albanese announced a plan to ban social media use for children under 16, requiring platforms like Meta Platforms Inc,&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) Facebook and Instagram, TikTok, X (formerly Twitter), and Snap Inc.&#8216;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SNAP#NYSE">SNAP</a>) Snapchat to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40784803/after-feud-with-elon-musk-and-mark-zuckerberg-australian-pm-anthony-albanese-set-to-ban-social-media">verify users&#8217; ages</a>.
What Happened: The government will trial an age-verification system, possibly including biometrics or government ID. Social media companies must destroy any personal data used for verification, with fines of up to $32 million for non-compliance, reported Reuters. 
&#8220;There will be very strong and strict privacy requirements to protect people&#8217;s personal information, including an obligation to destroy information provided once age has been verified,&#8221; Albanese said on Monday.
Critics, including Elon Musk, argue the bill may limit internet access for Australians. The government aims to pass the law by the end of the parliamentary year.

As Meta, TikTok, X And Snapchat Stare At Tough Under-16 Ban, Australia's PM Says Destroy Personal Data 'Once Age Is Verified' Or Risk $32M Fine

Renowned investment adviser&nbsp;Gary Black questioned the valuation of&nbsp;MicroStrategy Incorporated&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>), suggesting the company&#8217;s stock was significantly overpriced.
What Happened: In a recent X post, Black, managing partner at The Future Fund, expressed his confusion over MicroStrategy&#8217;s stock price. 
He pointed out that the company&#8217;s Bitcoin holdings, worth $31.2 billion when he made the observation, and its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/41693867/microstrategy-shares-are-falling-today-what-you-need-to-know">net debt</a> of $4.2 billion equated to an equity value of $27 billion. However, the company&#8217;s stock market value stood at a whopping $106 billion. 
Black estimated that MicroStrategy&#8217;s&nbsp;shares should be worth about&nbsp;$105/share, a figure 75% lower than its current trading price. 
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter">

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
Black added that MicroStrategy&#8217;s core software business wasn&#8217;t contributing to growth. Indeed, the software segment recorded a 10.3% decline in year-on-year revenues. 
&#8220;It would be like a company issuing cash or debt and then buying marketable securities. No one will pay for growth from that since anyone can buy Bitcoin,&#8221; he argued. 
Black also ruled out valuing stocks based on future earnings expectations, instead opting to measure the stock&#8217;s fundamental business, in this case, MicroStrategy, in conjunction with the value of Bitcoin.

Why It Matters: Black&#8217;s comments come in the wake of recent research by BitMEX, which <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/42138209/microstrategy-trading-at-insane-256-premium-to-bitcoin-holdings-research-shows">showed that MicroStrategy is trading at a 256% premium</a> to the net asset value (NAV) of its Bitcoin holdings. The analysis connected the extreme valuation disparity to some financial regulators banning people from buying Bitcoin ETFs, leading them to buy MicroStrategy&#8217;s stock instead.
MicroStrategy&#8217;s aggressive Bitcoin acquisition strategy has been the subject of intense media coverage in recent weeks. The company&#8217;s co-founder,&nbsp;Michael Saylor, recently revealed that MicroStrategy is making $500 million a day as Bitcoin <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42151809/michael-saylor-reveals-microstrategy-is-making-500m-a-day-with-bitcoin-may-very-well-be-the-most-profitable-company-in-the-us-growing-the-fastest-right-now">inched closer</a> to $100,000 for the first time in its history. 
Since the beginning of November, MicroStrategy&#8217;s stock has leaped 83%, while Bitcoin, the asset it holds on its books, has grown by 38%.
Price Action:&nbsp;At the time of writing, Bitcoin was trading at $97,638.71, down 0.85% in the last 24 hours, according to&nbsp;<a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga Pro data</a>. Shares of MicroStrategy closed 6.19% higher at $421.88 on Friday&#8217;s regular session.

Are MicroStrategy's Shares Worth Only $105? Investment Adviser Gary Black Weighs In

Wedbush Securities has issued an endorsement of the artificial intelligence software sector, with Managing Director Dan Ives predicting that 2025 will be a pivotal year for AI implementation across the industry. This comes as Palantir Technologies Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NYSE">PLTR</a>) continues its remarkable ascent, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42143996/daddys-home-palantir-creates-two-new-billionaires-after-trumps-win-both-own-less-than-2-stock-and-are-thiels-favorites">having surged 288% year-to-date</a>.
What Happened: In a notable sector-wide upgrade, Ives raised Palantir&#8217;s price target to $75 while upgrading both Elastic NV (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ESTC#NYSE">ESTC</a>) and Snowflake Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SNOW#NYSE">SNOW</a>) to Buy ratings. He also increased Salesforce Inc.&#8216;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRM#NYSE">CRM</a>) price target to $375, signaling broader confidence in the software sector&#8217;s AI potential.
&#8220;The AI Revolution is accelerating and now it&#8217;s the software sector that will benefit from the use case phase of AI set to be primetime in 2025,&#8221; Ives <a href="https://x.com/DivesTech/status/1860816966367281267">wrote</a>, adding, &#8220;Software AI age here.&#8221;
The bullish outlook aligns with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42094248/trumps-return-boosts-palantir-national-security-bets-drive-140-billion-market-cap">Palantir&#8217;s recent performance</a>, which has seen its market capitalization soar to approximately $140 billion, surpassing defense contractor Lockheed Martin Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LMT#NYSE">LMT</a>). The company&#8217;s growth has been particularly notable following recent political developments, with its stock reaching $61 per share.

Why It Matters: Palantir&#8217;s momentum is supported by concrete achievements, including a $480 million Pentagon contract for Project Maven and its first profitable year in 2023, reporting $144 million in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42094248/trumps-return-boosts-palantir-national-security-bets-drive-140-billion-market-cap">third-quarter net income</a>. 
The company has successfully expanded its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/long-ideas/24/11/42039361/palantir-soars-to-150b-market-cap-as-analysts-flag-risks-in-valuation-insider-sales">commercial sector revenue</a> to 35% of total earnings, securing major contracts with CVS Health Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CVS#NYSE">CVS</a>) and BP plc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BP#NYSE">BP</a>).
However, some investors express caution regarding valuations. Major hedge funds, including Renaissance Technologies and ARK Investment Management, reduced their Palantir <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/long-ideas/24/11/42039361/palantir-soars-to-150b-market-cap-as-analysts-flag-risks-in-valuation-insider-sales">holdings in the third quarter</a>, though maintaining significant positions. 
The company&#8217;s P/E ratio of 328.85 and heavy retail investor base of approximately 50% have prompted discussions about <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42094248/trumps-return-boosts-palantir-national-security-bets-drive-140-billion-market-cap">potential market volatility</a>.
Price Action: Palantir&#8217;s stock closed at $64.35 on Friday, gaining 4.87% during the regular trading session. In after-hours trading, the stock dipped slightly by 0.20%.

Palantir Price Target Raised To $75 By Dan Ives Amid 288% YTD Surge: Analyst Calls 2025 A 'Primetime' Year For AI

Tech mogul Elon Musk was amused by Bitcoin's (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) sudden pullback following financial analyst Jim Cramer&#8217;s bullish take on the leading cryptocurrency.
What happened: In a recent X post, Musk reacted with a laughing face and 100% emoji in response to a satirical post on the "Inverse Cramer" phenomenon.
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"> 
<div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
The story started Friday when Cramer, host of CNBC's Mad Money show and a former hedge fund manager, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/42144871/jim-cramer-says-own-bitcoin-thats-a-winner-crypto-community-scoffs-pack-up-your-bags-sell-everything">revealed owning Bitcoin</a> and called it a "clear winner."
Interestingly, Bitcoin, which was on the verge of reaching $100,000, retraced after Cramer&#8217;s advocacy and fell below $96,000 early Sunday.

Why It Matters: For the uninitiated, the "Inverse Cramer" phenomenon hinges on the belief that doing the opposite of what Cramer advises could lead to profits.
In fact, an exchange-traded fund (ETF) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/specialty-etfs/24/01/36793492/exclusive-inverse-cramer-etf-shuts-down-how-the-magnificent-7-stocks-factor-in-and-a-broken-c">was floated in 2022</a>, allowing investors to bet against Cramer's predictions. The ETF eventually shut down earlier this year.
Even influential cryptocurrency analysts like Ali Martinez wrote, "Another sell signal," reacting to Cramer's endorsement.
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"> 
<div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>

Elon Musk Has A Laugh As Bitcoin Dips After Jim Cramer's Endorsement

Following the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/41768178/donald-trump-defeats-kamala-harris-to-win-2024-election">2024 U.S. Presidential election</a>, a significant shift is happening in the social media landscape.&nbsp;
Many users, including Taylor Swift's fanbase, the Swifties, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/41872302/taylor-swift-fans-abandon-elon-musks-x-for-bluesky-how-trumps-election-victory-triggered-swifties-uprising">have begun leaving</a> Elon Musk's X, formerly Twitter, for Bluesky, a rising social media platform.
In just a few days, Bluesky's user base surged from 14 million to 20 million, growing by a million new users each day.
This sudden influx follows dissatisfaction with Musk's social media platform, especially after the changes he introduced following the acquisition of Twitter, and now the 2024 election outcome.
Why Bluesky?
Bluesky offers a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/social-media/24/11/42039681/x-vs-threads-vs-bluesky-does-elon-musks-social-media-site-still-reign-supreme">refreshing alternative</a> to X and Meta Platforms, Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) Threads.
Unlike Threads, which has minimized political content, Bluesky allows for more personalized, open conversations. Its open-source model, based on the AT Protocol, aims to empower users with greater control over their content and moderation.
With features like user-curated starter packs and decentralized governance, Bluesky has become a top choice for former X users looking for a platform that prioritizes user experience over corporate control.

Apple's 2024 Black Friday Deals: Gift Cards Over Discounts — Here's What You'll Get

Prominent economist Claudia Sahm has criticized the newly formed Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/11/41927289/trump-appoints-elon-musk-and-vivek-ramaswamy-to-lead-doge-targeting-bureaucracy-and-65-trillion-federal-spending-we-will-not-go-gently">its leadership&#8217;s approach to government spending</a>, particularly regarding their stance on the U.S. Census Bureau&#8217;s 2010 Super Bowl advertisement.
What Happened: The controversy emerged after DOGE posted examples of government spending on X (formerly Twitter), including &#8220;$2.5 million on a Super Bowl Ad for the Census.&#8221; 
Former presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, recently appointed as co-director of DOGE alongside Tesla Inc. CEO Elon Musk, responded that &#8220;the federal government shouldn&#8217;t be in the business of buying Super Bowl ads.&#8221;
Sahm, creator of the widely-referenced Sahm Rule indicator, countered Ramaswamy&#8217;s position, <a href="https://x.com/Claudia_Sahm/status/1860781540445163719">stating</a>, &#8220;Rule of thumb: the Census is in the Constitution. Do your legal job well.&#8221; She defended the Census Bureau&#8217;s decision, noting that the advertisement&#8217;s effectiveness could potentially save taxpayers money.
The Census Bureau had previously justified the $2.5 million expenditure, explaining that every 1% increase in mail-in responses would save $85 million in door-to-door collection costs.
Sahm expressed broader concerns about DOGE&#8217;s approach, stating, &#8220;There is so much good that &#8216;outside the box thinking&#8217; in the government could do… but it&#8217;s being wasted on destructive, simplistic thinking. DOGE is on track to be a wasted opportunity.&#8221;

Why It Matters: The economist also criticized DOGE&#8217;s focus on reducing resources and employees, arguing that some efficiency improvements would require additional investment. &#8220;A MASSIVE overhaul of the IT as one example would be huge,&#8221; she noted.
DOGE, announced by President-elect Donald Trump, aims to restructure federal agencies and reduce the government&#8217;s $6.5 trillion annual spending. 
The department has faced additional criticism from former Labor Secretary Robert Reich, who characterized it as &#8220;riddled with conflicts of interest,&#8221; particularly regarding Musk&#8217;s involvement given his companies&#8217; <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/politics/24/11/41962372/trumps-doge-with-musk-at-the-helm-riddled-with-conflicts-of-interest-says-clinton-era-official-robert-reich">federal contracts and ongoing investigations</a>.
The department is scheduled to complete its work by Jul 4, 2026, coinciding with America&#8217;s 250th independence anniversary.
DOGE&#8217;s acronym coincides with the cryptocurrency Dogecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/doge/usd">DOGE</a>), leading to a 30.79% price bump in the coin after the department's name was announced. Market speculation attributes this rise to Musk's known association with Dogecoin.

몽고DB(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MDB#NASDAQ">MDB</a>)와 데이터독(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DDOG#NASDAQ">DDOG</a>)의 주식이 목요일 큰 폭 상승했다. 여러 소프트웨어 주식들이 스노우플레이크(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SNOW#NYSE">SNOW</a>)의 강력한 실적 보고서와 낙관적인 가이던스 발표 후 급등했다. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42117057/snowflake-stock-is-blazing-higher-thursday-whats-going-on">알아야 할 사항</a>은 다음과 같다.
알아야 할 사항: 스노우플레이크는 3분기에 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42117057/snowflake-stock-is-blazing-higher-thursday-whats-going-on" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">분석가의 기대치</a>를 초과하여 예상 8억 9,699만 달러를 초과하는 9억 4,209만 달러의 매출을 기록했다. 조정된 이익은 주당 20센트로 예상치인 주당 15센트를 넘어섰다.
제품 매출은 9억 3백만 달러로, 전년 대비 29% 증가했다. 스노우플레이크는 4분기 제품 매출을 9억 6백만 달러에서 9억 1천 1백만 달러 범위로 가이던스했으며, 연간 제품 매출 전망을 33억 5천 6백만 달러에서 34억 3천만 달러로 상향 조정했다. 이는 전년 대비 29% 성장에 해당한다.
&#8220;우리의 제품 응집력 및 사용 용이성을 향한 집착적인 노력은 스노우플레이크를 가장 쉽고 비용 효율적인 엔터프라이즈 데이터 플랫폼으로 구축했다&#8221;고 스노우플레이크의 CEO인 스리드하르 라마스와미(Sridhar Ramaswamy)가 말했다.

스노우플레이크의 실적은 인공지능(AI) 기반 데이터 솔루션의 기업 채택 증가에 대한 낙관론을 촉발한 것으로 보이며, 이 회사의 데이터볼로(Datavolo) 인수와 앤트로픽(Anthropic)과의 다년간 파트너십이 이를 지원했다. 이러한 분위기는 데이터 및 클라우드 서비스 분야 전반에 낙관론을 불러일으켜 몽고DB와 데이터독 등에게 혜택을 주었다.
몽고DB는 NoSQL 데이터베이스 솔루션으로 잘 알려져 있으며, AI 및 클라우드 기반 도구를 활용하는 기업에 필수적인 엔터프라이즈 데이터 관리의 핵심 플레이어이다. 데이터독은 클라우드 애플리케이션에 대한 모니터링 및 분석 플랫폼으로, 시스템 성능 및 신뢰성에 대한 통찰력을 제공하여 이 생태계를 보완한다. 클라우드 데이터 제공업체는 고급 분석 및 AI 기반 워크플로우를 채택하는 기업에 필요한 데이터 인프라에 필수적인 것으로 간주된다.
MDB, DDOG 주가 변동: 몽고DB 주식은 목요일 11.95% 상승한 315.44달러에 마감했으며, 데이터독 주식은 6.21% 상승한 143.86달러에 마쳤다.

화요일에 캐시 우드가 이끄는 아크 인베스트는 몇 가지 중요한 거래를 했다. 그중 가장 눈에 띄는 것은 팔란티어 테크놀로지스(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NYSE">PLTR</a>)의 주식 매수와 코인베이스 글로벌(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COIN#NASDAQ">COIN</a>)의 주식 매각이었다.
팔란티어(PLTR) 거래:
아크 인베스트의 ETF인 Ark Fintech Innovation ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKF#NYSE">ARKF</a>), ARK Innovation ETF(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKK#NYSE">ARKK</a>), ARK Autonomous Technology &amp; Robotics ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKQ#BATS">ARKQ</a>), ARK Space Exploration &amp; Innovation ETF(BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKX#BATS">ARKX</a>)는 총 1,35,3667주의 팔란티어의 주식을 매입했다. 이러한 움직임은 1분기 재무 결과 발표와 완화된 지침으로 인해 회사의 주가가 하락했음에도 불구하고 이루어졌다. 종가 21.40달러를 기준으로 본 이 거래의 가치는 약 2,900만 달러이다.
이전 보고서에 따르면 팔란티어의 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/05/38670680/palantir-stock-is-falling-tuesday-whats-going-on">1분기 매출</a>은 전년 동기 대비 21% 증가한 6억 3,400만 달러로 컨센서스 추정치를 넘어섰다. 이 회사는 또한 분석가 추정치에 맞춰 주당 8센트의 조정 이익을 보고했다. 매출 기대치를 초과했음에도 불구하고 투자자들이 이 회사의 2분기 및 연간 가이던스에 대해 부정적으로 반응하면서 주가는 하락했다.
코인베이스 글로벌(COIN) 거래:
아크 인베스트의 ARKF, ARKK 및 ARK Next Generation Internet ETF(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKW#NYSE">ARKW</a>)는 코인베이스의 총 70,616주를 매도했다. 이 결정은 매출 증가와 기관 거래량 사상 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/05/38598804/coinbase-q1-earnings-highlights-revenue-beat-institutional-trading-volume-hits-all-time-hi">최고치</a>를 강조한 코인베이스의 최근 1분기 실적 보고서에도 불구하고 내려졌다. 이 거래의 가치는 종가 214.34달러를 기준으로 약 1,510만 달러이다.
코인베이스는 월가 컨센서스 추정치인 13억 4천만 달러를 능가하는 16억 4천만 달러의 총 매출을 보고했다. 이 회사는 또한 GAAP EPS를 4.40달러로 보고했다.
아크의 코인베이스 거래는 암호화폐 가치가 하락하는 기간에 이루어졌다. 이 기간동안 비트코인(CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>)은 24시간 동안 1.4% 하락한 62,631.01달러에 거래되고 있었다. 이러한 투자심리 약세의 배경에는 코인베이스의 경쟁사인 로빈후드 마켓이 증권거래위원회(SEC)로부터 웰스(Wells) 통지를 받는 규제 조치가 있었다.

수요일, 캐시 우드의 아크 인베스트가 핀터레스트 (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PINS#NYSE">PINS</a>)의 추가 주식을 구매하는 것으로 눈에 띄는 움직임을 보였다.
핀터레스트의 거래
아크 인베스트의 핀테크 이노베이션 ETF(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKF#NYSE">ARKF</a>)는인기 소셜 미디어 웹사이트이자 메타 플랫폼이 소유한 인스타그램 및 X와 같은 플랫폼의 경쟁사인 핀터레스트의 주식 26,925주를 인수했다. 이 움직임은 핀터레스트의 금융 상황이 복합적인 가운데 이루어졌지만, 최근 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/02/37019165/pinterest-q4-earnings-revenue-miss-eps-beat-monthly-active-users-up-11-and-more">4분기 실적</a> 보고서에서 보여준 유망한 사용자 성장을 바탕으로 한다. 이 거래의 가치는 동일 날 35.28달러의 종가를 바탕으로 하여 949,914달러이다.
아크 인베스트가 핀터레스트에 관심을 보이는 것은 이번이 처음이 아니다. 지난 2월에도 이 투자 기관은 4분기 실적에서의 혼란에도 불구하고 이 회사의 잠재력에 대한 자신감을 증명하기 위해 2,300만달러 이상의 핀터레스트 주식을 구매했다. 최근에 이루어진 이번 구매는 아크 인베스트의 핀터레스트 보유 지분을 더욱 확고히 했다.
기타 중요한 거래들:
아크 인베스트핀테크 이노베이션 ETF에서 트윌리오 (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TWLO#NYSE">TWLO</a>)의 주식을 팔았다. 이 회사는 또한 게노믹 리볼루션 ETF를 위해 벌브 테라퓨틱스(Verve Therapeutics Inc) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VERV#NASDAQ">VERV</a>)와 퍼스널리스(Personalis Inc) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PSNL#NASDAQ">PSNL</a>)의 주식을 구매했다.
