Brian Armstrong, CEO of cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase, has publicly endorsed GOP nominee David McCormick for the Pennsylvania senate seat, citing his friendlier stance on cryptocurrency.
What Happened: Armstrong took to X Sunday to back the Senate hopeful. &#8220;If you live in Pennsylvania, you should vote for Dave McCormick. He is the better candidate on crypto (among many other credentials),&#8221; Armstrong wrote.

The former CEO of Bridgewater Associates <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/23/09/34807903/he-ran-bridgewater-associates-now-hes-running-for-senate-in-pennsylvania-again">announced his candidacy last year</a>, aiming to unseat three-time incumbent Democratic Sen. Bob Casey Jr.
A U.S. Army veteran and former Treasury Department official, McCormick has publicly expressed his pro-cryptocurrency stance. He stated that American <a href="https://www.davemccormickpa.com/2024/03/26/america-must-lead-on-cryptocurrency/">leadership </a>in blockchain and cryptocurrency is important to the country&#8217;s economic and national security.
Interestingly, in May earlier this year, his <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/05/38888214/reddit-co-founder-alexis-ohanian-highlights-democrats-including-chuck-schumer-who-crossed-">rival Casey crossed the party line to support a resolution</a> against the SEC&#8217;s anti-cryptocurrency SAB121. On the other hand, he cosponsored the Digital Asset Anti-Money Laundering Act of 2023, brought forward by anti-cryptocurrency crusader Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.)
According to the cryptocurrency-based prediction market Polymarket, Donald Trump&nbsp;had a 57% chance, against Kamala Harris&#8217; 43%, of <a href="https://polymarket.com/event/pennsylvania-presidential-election-winner">winning </a>the popular vote in the key swing state. 
Why It Matters: Armstrong&#8217;s endorsement of McCormick was significant, given his position as the head of one of the world&#8217;s largest digital asset trading platforms. 
The cryptocurrency mogul had previously said that cryptocurrency is a non-partisan issue, with advocates from both sides of the political spectrum <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/08/40123413/coinbase-ceo-brian-armstrong-was-asked-if-another-democratic-administration-would-prove-di">championing its cause</a>.

Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong Supports Republican Dave Mccormick For Pennsylvania Senate Seat: 'He Is The Better Candidate On Crypto'

Wedbush Securities analyst Dan Ives forecasts a &#8220;robust&#8221; third-quarter earnings season for technology companies, citing artificial intelligence adoption, improved enterprise spending, and rebounding <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/10/41280243/q3-earnings-preview-analyst-predicts-tech-will-triumph-while-energy-will-struggle">digital advertising as key growth drivers</a>.
What Happened: In a post on X, formerly Twitter, Ives highlighted an expanding roster of companies beyond traditional AI leaders that are now capitalizing on the technology revolution.
While NVIDIA Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) and Microsoft Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) are &#8220;the core drivers of AI, now we are seeing many other tech stalwarts join the AI Party,&#8221; Ives wrote, listing Oracle Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ORCL#NYSE">ORCL</a>), SAP SE (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SAP#NYSE">SAP</a>), ServiceNow Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NOW#NYSE">NOW</a>), Palantir Technologies Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NYSE">PLTR</a>), Salesforce Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRM#NYSE">CRM</a>), Dell Technologies Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DELL#NYSE">DELL</a>), IBM Common Stock (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IBM#NYSE">IBM</a>), Apple Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>), and Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>) among the companies making significant moves in artificial intelligence.
The analyst expressed optimism about the technology sector&#8217;s near-term prospects, stating, &#8220;We believe the next phase of the AI Revolution has begun.&#8221; He expects this momentum, combined with strengthening enterprise spending and a recovery in digital advertising, to push technology stocks higher through the end of the year.
This expanding AI landscape indicates a broader range of investment opportunities beyond the few companies that initially dominated the AI narrative earlier in the year, according to Ives.

Why It Matters: The anticipation of a strong third quarter for tech firms aligns with recent trends in the industry. Nvidia remains a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/10/41410262/ai-creates-generational-opportunity-why-nvidia-analyst-says-stock-will-hit-190">top pick within the AI sector</a>, with analysts labeling it a &#8220;generational opportunity&#8221; due to its dominant market position in AI chips. 
This sentiment is echoed by Taiwan Semiconductor Mfg. Co. Ltd.&#8216;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>) recent earnings, which <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/10/41373163/nvidia-supplier-tsmc-reports-q3-revenue-earnings-beat-amid-rising-demand-for-ai-chips">exceeded expectations due to strong demand</a> for AI chips, further supporting the bullish outlook for tech companies.
Additionally, the third quarter earnings preview suggests that the tech sector is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/10/41280243/q3-earnings-preview-analyst-predicts-tech-will-triumph-while-energy-will-struggle">poised to outperform</a>, while other sectors like energy may face challenges. 
This optimism is further supported by increased ad spending, as seen with Meta Platforms Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>), where analysts have raised price targets ahead of its earnings report, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/10/41390020/analysts-lift-price-targets-on-meta-platforms-stock-ahead-of-q3-earnings-heres-why">driven by strong ad spending</a>.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has voiced his not-so-surprising support for Meta Platforms CEO Mark Zuckerberg in a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/08/33699214/elon-musk-thinks-an-unconventional-cage-match-debate-with-zuckerberg-is-a-good-idea">hypothetical cage match</a> against Tesla and SpaceX boss Elon Musk.
What Happened: His comments came in an interview with Xfund&#8217;s Patrick Chung that took place at Harvard University on May 1 and was posted on Harvard Business School&#8217;s YouTube channel last week.
During a quick-fire question round, Altman was asked to pick between Musk and Zuckerberg, to which he promptly asked, &#8220;Like in a cage match?&#8221;
When Chang prodded further saying, &#8220;Who would you bet on,&#8221; Altman said, &#8220;Zuck in a cage match.&#8221;

Why It Matters: The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/23/08/33763649/zuckerberg-to-musk-is-it-all-talk-or-will-you-walk-the-cage-walk">concept of a &#8220;cage match&#8221;</a> between the two tech moguls gained traction last year, after Zuckerberg announced Threads, a new text-based social media platform as a potential rival to Musk&#8217;s X, formerly Twitter.
Musk, who <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/04/31810229/elon-musk-bought-twitter-1-year-ago-a-look-back-at-whats-happened-since-and-what-could-be-next">acquired Twitter for $44 billion</a> in October 2022, challenged Meta CEO for a cage match, which Zuckerberg accepted.
Musk continued to fuel the idea, suggesting Las Vegas as a potential venue and even hinting he might <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/gaming/23/08/33843834/knock-knock-whos-there-musk-challenges-zuckerberg-to-monday-night-fight-plans-to-live-stream-on-x">confront Zuckerberg at his home</a>. Zuckerberg, however, maintained a more cautious approach, expressing interest but waiting for concrete plans from Musk.
UFC president Dana White also confirmed that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/03/37926826/elon-musk-vs-mark-zuckerberg-would-have-been-the-biggest-fight-ever-done-says-ufcs-dana-white">serious discussions were happening</a> behind the scenes. However, as of now, the potential cage match remains uncertain.
Earlier this year, Musk re-ignited this conversation by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39947719/elon-musk-says-he-will-fight-mark-zuckerberg-any-place-any-time-any-rules-cage-match-vibes-anyone">publicly challenging</a> Zuckerberg. The Tesla CEO later <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/07/40086207/move-over-zuckerberg-musk-now-has-a-fight-with-venezuela-president-maduro-on-his-mind-if-i-win-h">proposed a fight</a> with Venezuela&#8217;s President Nicolas Maduro.
Meanwhile, the feud between Musk and Altman has also escalated. Last month, Musk <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/41039287/elon-musk-isnt-pleased-that-sam-altman-likely-to-get-7-stake-after-chatgpt-parents-planned-for-profi">expressed displeasure</a> over Altman&#8217;s potential 7% stake in OpenAI, the AI startup he helped co-found in 2015, following its transition to a for-profit entity.

Mark Zuckerberg Or Elon Musk? OpenAI CEO Sam Altman Says He'd Back This Tech Titan In A Cage Fight

Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) continues to face significant headwinds in its automotive business, with concerns mounting over sustained margin pressure and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/10/41415287/tesla-bull-gene-munster-breaks-down-ev-giants-robotaxi-plans-and-future-of-autonomy">underperformance against broader tech indices</a>, according to an analysis from The Future Fund LLC.
What Happened: Gary Black, managing partner at The Future Fund, emphasizes his firm&#8217;s analytical approach to valuation, notably excluding potential revenue from robotaxis and Optimus until competitive dynamics and economics become clearer.
Black, highlighted Tesla&#8217;s recent underperformance, noting a 24% decline against the Nasdaq 100&#8217;s 32% gain over three years. However, Future Fund maintains a long position in Tesla, citing robust global EV adoption trends and expansion opportunities.
&#8220;Global EV adoption continues to surge, from 15% today to 50% by 2030, representing a 25.8% CAGR,&#8221; Black noted on X, formerly Twitter. The firm projects Tesla can maintain its market share by entering new segments, including a $25-30K compact vehicle, robotaxi services, and small pickups.
Future Fund&#8217;s detailed valuation model includes:
<ul>
<li>2030 delivery target of 8.8 million vehicles</li>
<li>Projected adjusted EPS of $15.00</li>
<li>Price target of $270, based on a 1.5x PEG ratio and 25% forward EPS growth</li>
<li>2030 valuation of $562, discounted at a 14.2% cost of equity</li>
</ul>
&#8220;We realize many $TSLA investors disdain our analytical-based approach to TSLA valuation, but that's how the investment world works. One can't just make up valuations out of thin air.&#8221; Black wrote. 
Black explained that The Future Fund models EV demand and market share, FSD adoption rates, energy, and services. However, they refrain from including Robotaxi or Optimus in their valuation until they can evaluate the competitive dynamics and economics of these future products. 
The firm believes that multiple automakers will be approved for generalized unsupervised autonomy around the same time, suggesting that a demand-driven model is more appropriate for valuation rather than a supply-driven one.
Near-term challenges include:
<ul>
<li>Auto loan interest rates of 0.99% globally</li>
<li>Negative Cybertruck margins</li>
<li>Limited scale production, with Q3 Cybertruck deliveries estimated at 13,500 units</li>
</ul>

Why It Matters: Tesla&#8217;s financial performance is crucial as the company navigates a series of strategic shifts. Recently, Tesla showcased its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41376564/tesla-showcases-optimus-autonomous-navigation-charging-abilities-after-admitting-they-were-human-ass">Optimus humanoid robot</a>, demonstrating advancements in autonomous navigation and charging capabilities. 
This move aligns with Tesla&#8217;s broader vision for autonomy, a field where Waymo co-founder Anthony Levandowski sees Tesla having an edge due to its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41355911/waymo-co-founder-says-tesla-has-an-advantage-in-race-to-autonomous-driving-id-rather-be-in-teslas-sh">extensive data collection</a>.

These developments come as Gene Munster from Deepwater Asset Management discusses Tesla&#8217;s ambitious plans for robotaxis, which could revolutionize transportation and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/10/41415287/tesla-bull-gene-munster-breaks-down-ev-giants-robotaxi-plans-and-future-of-autonomy">save significant time and resources</a>.
Price Action: Tesla Inc. closed at $220.70 on Friday, down 0.086%. In after-hours trading, the stock further declined 0.25%. Year to date, Tesla&#8217;s stock has decreased by 11.16%, according to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

TSLA

Gary Black Explains Why He Doesn't Factor In Robotaxi Or Optimus To Tesla Valuation: Investors May Not Like  Analytical Approach, But That's How 'Investment World Works'

A well-known cryptocurrency analyst issued a bullish prediction for Shiba Inu (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/shib/usd">SHIB</a>), coinciding with a significant jump in the token&#8217;s burn rate over the last 24 hours. 
What Happened: On Sunday, widely followed X personality Kevin observed a &#8220;rounding bottom formation with an inverse head-and-shoulders&#8221; pattern for the popular dog-themed meme coin, prompting a massive 50% price increase projection.
For those unaware, inverse head-and-shoulders is a key chart pattern that signals a potential shift from a bearish to a bullish trend.

Additionally, Shiba Inu&#8217;s Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator flashed a buy signal, <a href="https://in.tradingview.com/symbols/SHIBUSD/technicals/">according </a>to data from charting platform TradingView. 
The MACD is primarily used to gauge an asset's overall trend. When the MACD line crosses above the signal line, it is interpreted as bullish.

Shiba Inu Ready For A Lift-Off To The Moon? Popular Analyst Predicts 50% Surge For Memecoin As Burn Rate Spikes 389%

Amid the U.S. chip sanctions, Chinese artificial intelligence firms, including&nbsp;01.ai,&nbsp;Alibaba Group Holding Ltd&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>), and&nbsp;ByteDance, are making strides in reducing AI costs.
What Happened: Chinese AI companies, including startups like 01.ai and DeepSeek, and giants like Alibaba, Baidu Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BIDU#NASDAQ">BIDU</a>), and ByteDance, are driving down AI model costs.
They are focusing on smaller data sets, hiring cheaper engineering talent, and optimizing hardware, <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/0a6da1bb-2bda-40f3-9645-97877eb0947c">reported</a> the Financial Times.
These companies have cut &#8220;inference&#8221; costs—the price to generate responses from AI models—by over 90%, offering much cheaper rates compared to their Western counterparts like OpenAI, the parent company of ChatGPT.

01.ai, led by former Google China head Lee Kai-Fu, has managed to&nbsp;cut inference costs by building&nbsp;a model&nbsp;that requires less computing power&nbsp;and optimizing its hardware.
&#8220;China&#8217;s&nbsp;strength is to make really&nbsp;affordable inference engines and then&nbsp;to let applications proliferate,&#8221;&nbsp;Lee told the publication.
Many Chinese AI companies are using a &#8220;model-of-expert&#8221; approach, which trains multiple specialized neural networks rather than a single dense model.
&#8220;China's strength is not doing the best breakthrough research that no one has done before where the budget has no limit,&#8221; stated Lee. &#8220;China's strength is to build well, build fast, build reliably and build cheap.&#8221;

Why It Matters: This is a significant achievement, considering the challenges posed by Washington&#8217;s ban on exports of high-end Nvidia Corporation&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) AI chips, which are crucial for developing advanced models in the US.
Earlier this month, it was reported that China has informally urged its companies to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/10/41204521/nvidias-gpu-sales-at-risk-as-china-pushes-local-ai-chips-in-retaliation">prioritize domestic AI chips</a> over those from Nvidia, potentially affecting the Jensen Huang-led company&#8217;s GPU sales.
Chinese AI firms have also been making significant strides. Alibaba, for instance, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/09/41052368/chinas-alibaba-just-launched-a-wave-of-100-open-source-ai-models-including-a-text-to-video-tool-that">launched over 100 open-source AI models</a> last month. This move was seen as a bold step to outpace rivals both domestically and internationally.
Chinese tech giants Alibaba and Tencent have been ramping up their <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/24/08/40480304/chinese-tech-giants-alibaba-and-tencent-ramp-up-ai-investments-with-nearly-a-third-of-deals-since-20">investments in AI startups</a>, with nearly a third of their deals since 2023 aimed at AI startups.

Former President Barack Obama took to X to wish Kamala Harris a happy birthday and endorse her presidential campaign.
What Happened: On Sunday, the former president said on the platform. &#8220;She has spent her life fighting on behalf of people who need a voice and a chance—now it's our turn to help elect her as our next president,&#8221; he tweeted.

Harris turned 60 years old on October 20. She was born in 1964. Her Republican opponent Donald Trump was born in 1946 and is 78 years old.
President Joe Biden also extended birthday wishes to Harris and called a &#8220;dear friend, partner, and a remarkable leader.&#8221;

This endorsement from Obama comes at a crucial time in the election cycle. Recent polls show former President Trump leading Harris, with a 52% chance of winning the presidency compared to Harris&#8217;s 42%, according to a latest poll. This is a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41419769/trump-leads-harris-ex-president-improves-polling-averages-in-these-2-key-battleground-states-poll-sh">significant shift</a> from late August when Harris was leading with a 54 to 56% chance, and Trump was trailing with a 44 to 46% chance.
Why It Matters: Obama&#8217;s endorsement could potentially sway voters in this tight race. His support for Harris is not new, as he has been <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41415466/obama-criticizes-trumps-town-hall-appearance-at-arizona-rally-you-would-be-worried-if-your-grandpa-w">vocal about his endorsement</a> and has criticized Trump&#8217;s leadership in previous rallies and social media posts.
Earlier this month, Obama <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41284435/obama-compares-trumps-behavior-with-fidel-castro-he-has-not-stopped-whining-about-his-problems-since">compared</a> Trump&#8217;s behavior to that of Fidel Castro, stating that Trump has not stopped &#8220;whining about his problems&#8221; since his initial presidential campaign. 
Meanwhile, former Trump was <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41419892/trump-turns-up-to-serve-fries-at-mcdonalds-i-could-do-this-all-day-i-wouldnt-mind-this-job">spotted serving customers</a> at a McDonald's drive-thru in Pennsylvania — a key wing state. He swapped his suit jacket for an apron. While at the fry station, he ridiculed Kamala Harris&#8217;s past work at McDonald's, calling it a fun experience. Videos of the event were shared online.
Trump while working the drive-through also wished the vice president &#8220;Happy Birthday.&#8221; He said, &#8220;She&#8217;s turning 60.&#8221; When asked if he would get her some fries, he said, &#8220;I think i&#8217;d get her some flowers.&#8221; Then changing his mind again he said he would get her McDonalds.

Kamala Harris Turns 60 — Gets Birthday Greetings From Obama, Biden And Even Donald Trump: Republican Opponent Says, 'I Think I'd Get Her Some Flowers'

Perplexity, an artificial intelligence startup, is in discussions to raise its valuation to $8 billion or higher in its latest funding round, a significant increase from its previous valuation of $3 billion.
What Happened: The San Francisco-based company, which has seen its valuation triple in the past year, is looking to raise approximately $500 million in its fourth funding round, <a href="https://www.wsj.com/tech/ai/ai-startup-perplexity-in-funding-talks-to-more-than-double-valuation-to-8-billion-54d36787?mod=latest_headlines">reported</a> The Wall Street Journal on Sunday, citing people familiar with the matter. The funding would be a test of investor interest in high-growth AI startups.
Perplexity, founded two years ago and backed by Amazon.com Inc. founder Jeff Bezos, is a search-based chatbot that provides real-time information. The company&#8217;s annualized revenue is currently around $50 million, up from $10 million in March.
Despite its rapid growth, Perplexity has faced criticism from web publishers for using their content without permission. The New York Times has even sent a &#8220;cease and desist&#8221; notice to the startup.
Perplexity did not immediately respond to&nbsp;<a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga</a>'s request for comment.

Why It Matters: Perplexity has been making significant strides in the AI industry. In September, the company was reportedly <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40972869/jeff-bezos-backed-perplexity-ai-in-discussion-with-marriott-and-nike-as-it-prepares-to-challenge-to">in talks with top brands like Nike Inc.</a> and Marriott International as it prepared to challenge Google&#8217;s dominance in the digital ads industry. In August, its revenue and usage skyrocketed <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entrepreneurship/24/08/40292703/perplexity-ais-revenue-usage-skyrocket-as-it-enters-into-advertising">after it entered into advertising</a>.
Perplexity&#8217;s CEO, Aravind Srinivas, has been vocal about challenging the duopoly of Alphabet Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) subsidiary Google and Meta Platforms Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) in the search and advertising industry.
Perplexity is also in discussions with major brands like Nike Inc. and Marriott International to develop a &#8220;sponsored&#8221; question system, aiming to disrupt <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40972869/jeff-bezos-backed-perplexity-ai-in-discussion-with-marriott-and-nike-as-it-prepares-to-challenge-to">Google&#8217;s auction-based ads model</a>.

Analyst Notes: Noted cryptocurrency researcher and trader Rekt Capital stated that Bitcoin would break out from the multi-month downtrend channel toward at least $70,000 if it records a weekly close above the red resistance.
With King Crypto managing to do just that, it remains to be seen whether the analyst&#8217;s prediction is correct.

Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dogecoin On The Rise As 'Uptober' May Be Finally Here: Analysts Predict Bullish Breakout For King Crypto, ETH's Rally To $3,300

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) recently expressed his views on the economic struggles faced by working-class families and its impact on their life expectancy.
What Happened: On Sunday, Sanders took to X to share his personal experience growing up in a family that lived paycheck to paycheck. 
&#8220;I grew up in a family that lived paycheck to paycheck,&#8221; said Sanders.
He highlighted the stress of working multiple jobs, worrying about affording healthcare, and the threat of eviction due to the inability to pay rent. 
&#8220;It&#8217;s the reason that working people live shorter lives than the rich.&#8221;
Sanders shared a video of an interaction he had with people during which he asked them to talk about living paycheck to paycheck. Some talked about being burned out because they had to work multiple jobs to afford the necessities of life.
One person named Annie said, &#8220;I&#8217;ve done took on three jobs for $13 an hour just to make ends meet.&#8221; She said, &#8220;I&#8217;m providing for a house that I&#8217;m barely at. I can&#8217;t even be there to relax. When I&#8217;m there relaxing. That&#8217;s all, literally, I want to do.&#8221;
Bernie responded by saying she had &#8220;hit the nail on the head.&#8221;

Why It Matters: This post by Sanders echoes his previous statements on the disparity in healthcare outcomes between the rich and the poor in the United States. Sanders has consistently <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40784837/bernie-sanders-says-if-youre-poor-in-america-youll-live-10-15-years-less-anybody-else-see-a-problem">voiced his concerns</a> about the high cost of medical care and the financial burden it places on patients. He has stated that in America, if you&#8217;re rich, you&#8217;ll live as long as people in other developed countries, but if you&#8217;re poor, you&#8217;ll live 10 to 15 years less.
His views are consistent with his previous statements on the state of healthcare and wealth distribution in the United States. He has highlighted the high cost of medical care and the financial burden it places on patients. He also pointed out that the U.S. is the only major country where an emergency hospital visit can lead to financial ruin.

He has consistently expressed his belief that billionaires shouldn&#8217;t exist and that the rich should be taxed more.
Bill Gates and Bernie Sanders, though unlikely allies, both supported higher taxes on the wealthy, according to a recent Benzinga report. Gates mentioned he&#8217;d be <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/10/41303029/id-still-have-1-3-billion-bill-gates-says-bernie-sanders-would-take-99-of-his-fortune-he-claims-hed">fine losing much of his fortune</a>, while Sanders took a more extreme stance, advocating for even steeper taxes on billionaires.

Bernie Sanders Says Grew Up In A Family That Lived Paycheck-To-Paycheck, Slams Inequality: 'It's The Reason That Working People Live Shorter Lives Than The Rich'

Australia-based cannabis grower and producer Little Green Pharma (ASX: LPG) reported its financial results for the quarter ended Sep 30, revealing unaudited record revenue of AU$10.2 million ($6.85 million). This marks a 40% increase from the prior quarter and nearly 60% from the corresponding quarter last year.
By product category, the company saw a 45% increase in oil sales, driven by growth in both France and Australia, and over a 35% increase in flower sales, driven by both the company's brands and white-label sales. At the same time, vaporizer sales declined 20%.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Quarterly Financial Highlights</h2>
<ul>
<li>Cash receipts of AU$10.8 million, up more than 30% from the prior quarter;</li>
<li>Net operating cash inflow of more than AU$1.0 million, resulting in a cash-flow-positive quarter of AU$600,000;</li>
<li>Cost savings of AU$500,000 per year expected from subcontracting Australian&nbsp;cultivation operations;</li>
<li>Cash in bank of AU$4.8 million up from AU$4.3 million.</li>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">European Potential</h2>
The company noted that the German, U.K. and French cannabis markets are driving strong growth in European industry demand. In the reporting quarter, the company had a 60% increase in flower sales to Europe, with more than a 110% increase in French oil sales.
The company recently revealed it <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/08/40323963/australian-cannabis-producers-eye-european-market-especially-germany-and-france-marijuana-and-me">expects France to fully legalize medical marijuana in 2025</a>. According to the company&#8217;s chief executive Paul Long, this could shift the majority of French people, who consume cannabis illegally, to medical use. According to the United Nations, some 6.8 million French people use marijuana illegally.
&#8220;People have this preconceived idea that cannabis is … just chasing a high," Long previously said. "What we've seen [with] the patients coming from the illicit market to the medical [is] the lion's share — 70 to 80% — have actually been self-prescribed.&#8221;
According to data from the Office of Drug Control, Australia produced 23 tons for the domestic market in 2022, with some 1,500 kg exported overseas. The industry contends that these figures will grow significantly as Europe updates its laws.

Why It Matters: Apple Intelligence is a collection of AI-driven features aimed at enhancing the user experience across Apple's device ecosystem, including the iPhone, iPad, and Mac.
This system combines generative AI technology with personal data to offer customized assistance to users.
Back in September, Apple revealed that the initial AI features would be available in beta sometime in the next month. Now, with October halfway over, indications point to a release before November.
Developers and participants in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/40029107/apple-rolls-out-ios-18-1-developer-beta-with-apple-intelligence-ahead-of-q3-earnings">Apple's public beta program can already</a> access prerelease versions of iOS 18.1 and sign up to test Apple Intelligence.

Apple Intelligence's Meh Moment Ahead? Analyst Predicts 5 Months Of Build-Up Could Lead To A 'That's It?' Reaction

Starboard Value, an activist investor, has reportedly acquired a substantial stake in Kenvue Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KVUE#NYSE">KVUE</a>), the company behind popular consumer products like Tylenol and Listerine.
What Happened: Starboard Value is pushing for changes at Kenvue, which was spun off from Johnson &amp; Johnson (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JNJ#NYSE">JNJ</a>) last year and has a market value of over $40 billion, <a href="https://www.wsj.com/business/deals/activist-starboard-value-takes-stake-in-tylenol-maker-kenvue-cc3175bb?mod=breakingnews">reported</a> The Wall Street Journal, citing people familiar with the matter.
Despite having some of the best consumer brands in the industry, Kenvue&#8217;s stock has underperformed its peers and the broader market since its debut over a year ago.
The exact size of Starboard&#8217;s position in Kenvue and its specific ideas for the company are not known. Starboard&#8217;s founder and CEO, Jeff Smith, is expected to present the firm&#8217;s thesis on Kenvue at an activist investing conference in New York on Tuesday.

Thank God, Knock On Wood!&#8217;</a>
Kenvue&#8217;s other brands include Aveeno, Band-Aid, Zyrtec, Neosporin, and Neutrogena. The company, led by CEO Thibaut Mongon, recorded over $15 billion in net sales in 2023.
Kenvue and Starboard Value &nbsp;did not immediately respond to&nbsp;<a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga</a>'s request for comment.
Why It Matters: Kenvue&#8217;s stock price has remained relatively unchanged this year, in contrast to the S&amp;P 500 index&#8217;s 23% increase. The company&#8217;s biggest competitors include Haleon, the parent company of Advil, Procter &amp; Gamble, the owner of Pepto-Bismol, and Unilever, the maker of Axe deodorant.
Starboard&#8217;s recent investment in Kenvue follows its move to acquire a roughly $1 billion stake in Pfizer Inc., where it is seeking various changes to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/10/41264265/former-pfizer-executives-ian-read-and-frank-damelio-support-albert-bourlas-leadership-amid-starb">improve the drugmaker&#8217;s performance</a>. This includes the appointment of former Pfizer executives Ian Read and Frank D&#8217;Amelio, who have pledged their support for current Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla.
Starboard is known for its active <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/07/39785537/tinder-parent-match-group-soars-nearly-9-in-after-hours-trading-as-activist-hedge-fund-starboard">involvement in various sectors</a>, including technology, where it has recently made efforts at companies like Salesforce, Autodesk, and Match Group.
Price Action: Kenvue Inc.&#8217;s stock closed at $21.72 on Friday, up 1.26% with a gain of $0.27. Year to date, the stock has risen by 0.70%, according to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

Tylenol, Listerine Maker Kenvue Under Activist Spotlight With Starboard Value Stake — Overhaul Ahead For The Johnson & Johnson Spinoff?

Former President Donald Trump was seen serving customers at a McDonald&#8217;s Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MCD#NYSE">MCD</a>) drive-thru in Pennsylvania on Sunday, while continuing to ridicule Vice President Kamala Harris&#8217;s past work experience at the fast-food chain.
What Happened: Trump swapped his suit jacket for an apron at a McDonald&#8217;s outlet in Bucks County, operating the fry cooker and serving an order to a drive-thru customer. He said he was running against somebody who said she worked at McDonald&#8217;s.
Former White House press assistant Margo Martin shared some videos of the ex-presidents at the McDonald&#8217;s location via X.

Trump Turns Up To Serve Fries At McDonald's: 'I Could Do This All Day, I Wouldn't Mind This Job"

Former President Donald Trump has surpassed Vice President Kamala Harris in a latest election poll for the current cycle.
What Happened: The Decision Desk HQ/The Hill forecast model now gives Trump a 52% chance of winning the presidency, compared to Harris&#8217;s 42%, according to a <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/4943975-trump-harris-election-forecast-shift/">report</a> from The Hill. This is a significant shift from late August when Harris was leading with a 54 to 56% chance, and Trump was trailing with a 44 to 46% chance.
The dynamics began to change in early October, with both candidates&#8217; chances predicted to be closer to 50%. By October 17, the model predicted an equal likelihood of either candidate winning the upcoming election. Trump took the lead on October 20.
This shift aligns with Trump&#8217;s improved polling averages in Wisconsin and Michigan, two battleground states that previously leaned slightly toward Harris. Trump already held a slim advantage in Arizona, Georgia, and North Carolina.
However, Pennsylvania, one of the seven swing states seen as decisive in the 2024 election, still favors Harris in its polling average. Despite the shifts, the race remains a toss-up, with polling in all seven states within the margin of error.
These states are crucial in determining which candidate secures the necessary 270 electoral votes. Currently, neither Trump nor Harris has a clear lead in enough states to secure that number.

Why It Matters: The recent shift in the election forecast comes after a period of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/10/41347642/harris-vs-trump-vice-president-holds-lead-in-2024-election-poll-but-former-president-is-closing-">narrowing leads and tightening races</a>. Harris had been maintaining a lead over Trump in many election polls until recent weeks.
By October 19, a Benzinga report highlighted a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/10/41347642/harris-vs-trump-vice-president-holds-lead-in-2024-election-poll-but-former-president-is-closing-">close matchup</a> between Trump and Harris, with election polls predicting a tight race. The recent forecast shift underscores the volatility and uncertainty of the 2024 presidential election.

At the time of his passing, Payne had a reported net worth of $70 million, largely amassed through his music career. In an interview with the Buenos Aires Herald, American tourist Michael Fleishmann shared that, just before his death, Payne had been overheard in a heated conversation at the CasaSur hotel lobby. Fleishmann recounted Payne saying, "I'll give you $20,000 just because I can. I have $55 million and I like to help people."

Beyond his wealth, Payne was also known for his charitable efforts. Just a month before his death, he encouraged fans to donate to children in need. "It doesn't matter how small or how big the donation is, all that matters is you looking in that child's eyes," Payne said in a Snapchat video, reflecting his desire to give back.
Before his untimely death, Payne was reportedly living in Florida with his girlfriend, Kate Cassidy. The couple rented a $1.73 million Spanish-style mansion for $9,500 a month. The home featured five bedrooms, six bathrooms and luxurious amenities like a saltwater pool, tennis courts and access to a nearby clubhouse. Their Florida residence was one of several properties Payne had owned throughout his life, including a Buckinghamshire home in the UK.

<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" />
In 2021, Payne sold his Monte Nido mansion near Malibu for $10.16 million, a slight profit from the $10 million he paid in 2015. Despite its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/24/07/40001374/from-bill-gates-to-oprah-winfrey-the-most-lavish-celebrity-homes-revealed">impressive features</a>, including five bedrooms, a vineyard and a spa, the home took time to sell, partly due to Payne's claims that it was haunted. He once shared that his ex-girlfriend Cheryl Cole, pregnant at the time, refused to stay in the master bedroom after strange events, such as lights turning on and off in the middle of the night.
Bear Grey Payne, Liam's 7-year-old son with Cole, is expected to be the primary beneficiary of his father's estate. Even at such a young age, Bear stands to inherit a sizable fortune, which includes music royalties from Liam's time with One Direction as well as his solo career. Payne's wealth doesn't stop there – his earnings from high-profile brand partnerships, like his role as a global ambassador for Hugo Boss, also add to the overall estate.

<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" />
In the months before his death, Liam had spoken proudly and lovingly of his son, describing him as &#8220;so big now&#8221; and looking like a &#8220;mini-me," according to People.
While Payne's death is a devastating loss, his legacy is marked by his success in music, notable <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/bezos-landlord-100-dollars">real estate investments</a> and charitable contributions. His life was a blend of stardom and generosity, leaving behind fond memories for those who knew him.

<h3>Evaluating IPOs</h3>
Initial public offerings, or IPOs, are the transitional processes of private companies deciding to go public and offer shares to investors on exchanges. IPOs typically offer companies the ability to build capital by distributing shares across the market. A company interested in becoming publicly tradeable must first meet SEC requirements and work with investment banks through audits to determine pricing, offering date, and other important data points before the offering.
Companies and investment banks will work to establish a price range that the stock is expected to sell between. This is known as an offering range. Once a company goes public, its stock comes with an opening price. The insider lock-up period is usually a set number of days after an IPO where company insiders, or employees with a 10% or higher stake in their company, cannot sell shares.
