The three major stock indices extended their winning streak to six consecutive weeks, marking the longest stretch of gains for both the Dow Jones and S&amp;P 500 this year. The Dow rose 0.96%, the S&amp;P 500 increased by 0.85%, and the Nasdaq advanced 0.80%.

This strong economic momentum has led some analysts to reassess the Federal Reserve&#8217;s future course of action, with many now questioning the likelihood of additional interest rate cuts.

Benzinga Bulls And Bears: Apple, Tesla, Netflix, Oklo — And Dogecoin, Meme Coins Outpace Corporate Giants

Cryptocurrencies based on internet memes and online communities are jumping to billion-dollar valuations in record quick time, leaving behind corporate America in the process.
What happened: A <a href="https://socialcapitalmarkets.net/crypto-trading/memecoin-market-trend/">study</a> by cryptocurrency analytics firm Social Capital Markets revealed that some Nasdaq-listed companies took an average of 25-35 years to reach billion-dollar valuations, while meme coin projects like Shiba Inu (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/shib/usd">SHIB</a>) and Pepe (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">PEPE</a>) achieved a similar feat in less than a year.
For instance, Shiba Inu achieved a valuation of around $10.8 billion in just a year from launch, while Nice Ltd. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NICE#NASDAQ">NICE</a>), founded in 1986, took 35 years to reach a comparable market cap.
Similarly, Dogecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/doge/usd">DOGE</a>), the biggest meme coin by market valuation currently, achieved a $17 billion valuation in eight years with a team of just 12 members. In comparison, Nutanix Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NTNX#NASDAQ">NTNX</a>), having a headcount of 6,000, took 15 years to reach a similar valuation.
Pepe (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">PEPE</a>), the third-largest meme coin, took six months to reach $4.5 billion market cap, while TransMedics Group Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TMDX#NASDAQ">TMDX</a>), a company founded in 1998, took 25 years for the same.

Benzinga&#8217;s Take: While the meteorological rise of meme coins, driven by viral online culture and celebrity backing, is not news, it's important to understand that many of them still lack strong fundamentals.
As a result, while they can reach multibillion-dollar valuations in a short period, they can also fall as quickly.&nbsp;
Take Dogecoin as an example. During the 2021 bull run, the token&#8217;s valuation soared from $9 billion to $84 billion in less than a month, representing an 833% increase. However, the market value fell by half to $42 billion in the following three weeks.
Similarly, PEPE describes itself as &#8220;completely useless,&#8221; having no intrinsic value or expectation of financial return. The coin reached an all-time high valuation of $7 billion in May but was down 38% from the peak as of this writing.
Price Action: At the time of writing, Dogecoin was exchanging hands at $0.1234, up 3.93% in the last 24 hours, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?_gl=1&#x2A;380nj0&#x2A;_ga&#x2A;MTEyOTAyOTcxMy4xNzEzMzY0NTYy&#x2A;_ga_V7ZK73W7N0&#x2A;MTcxNDk4MzIzMi42LjEuMTcxNDk4OTE0Ni4wLjAuMA..">data from Benzinga Pro</a>. Shiba Inu traded at $0.00001823, following a marginal increase of 0.61%.

Dogecoin, Shiba Inu, Pepe May Have Overtaken These Nasdaq-Listed Companies Toward Billion-Dollar Valuations, But There's A Catch

Nice&lsquo;s (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/nice#NASDAQ">NICE</a>) shares have declined 14.2% in the year-to-date period compared with the Zacks Internet-Software industry&#39;s growth of 25.3% and the broader Zacks Computer &amp; Technology sector&#39;s return of 24.2%.
The underperformance can be attributed to strong competition from other industry players like Five9 (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/fivn#NASDAQ">FIVN</a>), Salesforce and 8X8, who are expanding their portfolio in the CX market.
In June, Five9 announced an enhanced collaboration with Salesforce, integrating AI-powered solutions to enhance customer experiences in contact centers through real-time agent guidance and conversation intelligence.
However, NICE&#39;s growing client base and increased demand for its solutions will help the company fend off competition from other industry players who are also fortifying their presence in the CX market.

<h2>Can Strong Product Portfolio Aid NICE&#39;s Customer Base?</h2>
NICE&#39;s diverse portfolio, featuring solutions like Actimize, Evidencentral, CXone, and Inform Elite, has been gaining popularity. The company&#39;s focus on its cloud offerings, particularly its CXone platform, has been a major growth driver.
During the second quarter of 2024, it reported cloud revenues of $482 million, up 26% year over year. The uptick reflects the growing demand for cloud-native solutions, which are being adopted across various industries.
NICE recently announced that Banco PAN, a digital banking platform in Brazil, achieved a 25% improvement in first-call resolution and a 20% reduction in operational costs by implementing the NICE CXone cloud-native platform.
The company&#39;s diverse portfolio is also helping it attract new customers. Its partnerships with AT&amp;T (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/t#NYSE">T</a>) and Microsoft&nbsp;have been a key catalyst.
In August, NICE expanded its collaboration with AT&amp;T to offer a unified incident capture and data analytics solution for NextGen 9-1-1 centers, showcasing it at APCO 2024.
A deepening partnership with Microsoft is noteworthy. The collaboration has led to the integration of its NTR-X Compliance Recording and Assurance Solution into the Microsoft Azure Marketplace, providing a robust, cloud-ready compliance platform within the NICE Compliancentral suite.
<h2>Estimate Revisions Are Positive</h2>
Nice&#39;s efforts to enhance its customer experience with its robust cloud solutions are expected to drive top-line growth.
For third-quarter 2024, NICE projects non-GAAP revenues to be between $676 million and $686 million, indicating 13% year-over-year growth at the midpoint. Non-GAAP earnings are estimated in the $2.62-2.72 per share band, suggesting 18% year-over-year growth at the midpoint.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is pegged at $682.67 million, indicating 13.52% growth year over year. The consensus mark for earnings is pegged at $2.68 per share, unchanged in the past 30 days. The figure calls for a year-over-year increase of 18.06%.
<h2>Here&#39;s What Investors Should do With NICE Stock</h2>
Despite a strong pipeline of its solutions, NICE has been suffering from the foreign exchange headwinds in the APAC market. The stiff competition is also expected to hurt the company&#39;s top-line growth.
The forward 12-month Price/Sales ratio for Nice stands at 4.42, higher than its Zacks Internet-Software industry&#39;s 3.35, reflecting a stretched valuation.
Nice currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold), which suggests that it may be wise to wait for a more favorable entry point in the stock.
