Sony Group Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SONY#NYSE">SONY</a>) and Honda Motor Co Ltd.&#8216;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HMC#NYSE">HMC</a>) joint electric vehicle venture faces significant headwinds as it prepares to enter the U.S. market in 2026, amid expected policy changes under President-elect Donald Trump that could reshape the EV landscape.
What Happened: The partnership, Sony Honda Mobility, will unveil its production-ready Afeela sedan prototype at CES 2025 in Las Vegas next month. While the vehicle&#8217;s hardware is largely complete, developers are fine-tuning the software-centric features that distinguish it from competitors, according to SHM President Izumi Kawanishi, Nikkei <a href="https://asia.nikkei.com/Business/Technology/Tech-Asia/Sony-and-Honda-prepare-for-tough-U.S.-EV-debut-under-Trump">reported</a> on Wednesday.
The timing of Afeela&#8217;s launch coincides with potentially major shifts in U.S. auto policy. Trump&#8217;s anticipated elimination of the current $7,500 EV tax credit could reduce electric vehicle sales by nearly 30%, according to the National Bureau of Economic Research. 
This policy shift has already influenced market dynamics, with Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) shares rallying following Trump&#8217;s election victory.

What Happened: The changing landscape has divided industry analysts. Roth MKM analyst Craig Irwin recently raised Tesla&#8217;s price target by 347% to $380, suggesting established players <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42285783/tesla-bear-craig-irwin-turns-bullish-increases-price-target-from-85-to-380">might benefit from reduced subsidies</a>. However, newcomers like SHM could face additional challenges beyond the subsidy cuts, including potential tariff increases.
Despite these hurdles, SHM is betting on its unique value proposition. The Afeela features 45 cameras and sensors, an entertainment-focused cabin design, and software that can be updated like a smartphone. The company aims to differentiate itself through Sony&#8217;s entertainment and sensor expertise combined with Honda&#8217;s automotive manufacturing capabilities.
&#8220;All businesses have ups and downs,&#8221; Kawanishi noted, emphasizing the venture&#8217;s long-term vision. Industry experts suggest annual sales of 30,000 to 40,000 units would be considered successful for the new entrant in a market dominated by Tesla, which controls approximately half of U.S. EV sales.
EV-focused exchange-traded funds, including Invesco Electric Vehicle Metals Commodity Strategy No K-1 ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EVMT#NASDAQ">EVMT</a>), Amplify Lithium &amp; Battery Technology ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BATT#NYSE">BATT</a>), KraneShares Electric Vehicles and Future Mobility Index ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KARS#NYSE">KARS</a>), and Global X Lithium &amp; Battery Tech ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LIT#NYSE">LIT</a>), have all been trading in the red since Trump&#8217;s election victory on Nov. 6.

Sony-Honda EV Dream Collides With Trump-Backed Policy Shift Reality Ahead Of 2026 US Launch

On Tuesday, Alphabet Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) Google introduced its Veo video generator to select Cloud customers.
What Happened: The AI model, capable of creating short video clips from images and prompts, is now available in private preview on Vertex AI, Google&#8217;s AI development platform.
Veo&#8217;s introduction will allow Quora to integrate the tool into its Poe <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/01/36572871/quoras-vision-for-ai-chatbots-takes-a-giant-leap-with-75m-funding-from-silicon-valleys-andreessen-ho">chatbot platform</a>, while Mondelez International (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MDLZ#NASDAQ">MDLZ</a>), maker of Oreo, plans to use it for marketing content creation with agency partners.
Initially unveiled in April, Veo can produce 1080p clips of up to six seconds, capturing various visual styles and making edits to existing footage.
In a blog post, Warren Barkley, senior director of product management at Google Cloud, stated that the model has been upgraded for enterprise readiness. It now supports high-definition video creation in different aspect ratios.

Veo&#8217;s training involved high-quality, curated datasets, with Google maintaining that its models are primarily trained on publicly available sources.
The tech giant has implemented prompt-level filters and an indemnity policy to address potential copyright issues, ensuring a defense for eligible Veo users against infringement allegations.
Moreover, Google also announced that its flagship image generator, Imagen 3, is now accessible to all Vertex AI customers without the need for a waitlist.
However, its new customization and image editing features are currently available only through a separate waitlist.

Why It Matters: The launch of Google&#8217;s Veo video generator comes amid a competitive landscape where major tech companies are racing to innovate in AI-driven video technology.
In February, OpenAI, the maker of ChatGPT, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42206104/openais-sora-video-model-leak-exposes-deep-rift-with-artists-unpaid-rd-pr-puppets-and-content-approval-fury-what-you-need-to-know">launched its video generator</a>, the Sora AI model. Since its high-profile debut, Sora has faced significant challenges, with errors in video generation quickly highlighting its weaknesses.
Last week, reports surfaced that a group of beta testers leaked the unreleased Sora model, protesting OpenAI&#8217;s handling of artists.
In September 2024, Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) introduced a beta version of its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40960339/amazons-ai-effort-takes-aim-at-a-household-name-with-new-video-technology">AI-powered video generation tool</a>, targeting advertisers. This move positioned Amazon to compete with Adobe Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ADBE#NASDAQ">ADBE</a>), which is also <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/09/40819405/adobe-shakes-up-video-editing-with-ai-powered-creation-tools-whats-on-the-cards">advancing its AI capabilities</a> with the Firefly Video Model.
Later in October, Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) also launched Movie Gen, a tool for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/top-stories/24/10/41188250/metas-movie-gen-brings-ai-powered-video-audio-creation-to-all">creating high-quality videos</a>, images, and audio from text prompts.
Price Action: As of this update, Alphabet&#8217;s Class A shares increased by 0.14% in after-hours trading, reaching $171.58, while Class C shares rose by 0.098% to $173.19. During Tuesday&#8217;s regular session, Class A shares fell by 0.087% to $171.34, while Class C shares gained 0.023%, closing at $173.02, according to <a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/lxquj26b2sag">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

Google's Veo Video Generator Arrives On Cloud: How Oreo Maker Mondelez Is Using AI For Creative Content

XRP (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/xrp/usd">XRP</a>) continued the upward march Tuesday, becoming the third-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization after Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) and Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>).
What happened: The payment-focused cryptocurrency spiked to $2.84 early in the morning hours, just 19% shy of its all-time high. The rally propelled the market valuation to over $160 billion.
Subsequent correction wiped out some of XRP's valuation but was enough to knock Tether (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">USDT</a>) out of third place among the largest cryptocurrencies by market capitalization.
As of this writing, XRP was valued at $143.59 billion, higher than iconic Wall Street companies like Boeing Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) and Nike Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NKE#NYSE">NKE</a>).

Why It Matters: XRP has been one of the breakout performers of the ongoing cryptocurrency market bull run, leaping 82% over the week and nearly 400% in the last month.&nbsp;
The rally has been broadly supported by Donald Trump's presidential victory and a slew of bullish triggers specific to XRP's ecosystem.
Incumbent Securities and Exchange Commission Chair Gary Gensler&#8217;s departure, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42300549/paul-atkins-reportedly-tapped-for-sec-chair-under-trump-administration">reports </a>of cryptocurrency-friendly Paul Atkins succeeding him, jump in filings for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42259460/xrp-beats-solana-to-become-4th-largest-crypto-by-market-cap-on-ripples-rlusd-approval-speculation">spot exchange-traded funds</a> tied to the cryptocurrency, and the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42259460/xrp-beats-solana-to-become-4th-largest-crypto-by-market-cap-on-ripples-rlusd-approval-speculation">imminent launch</a> of Ripple Labs' RLUSD stablecoin.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Noted cryptocurrency analyst Michaël van de Poppe called XRP "the prime indicator" of altcoin strength.
"The last time this explosive move happened, it was the start of the altcoin period," he added.&nbsp;

XRP Becomes Third-Most Valued Crypto — Beats Boeing, Nike In Market Capitalization

Salesforce Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRM#NYSE">CRM</a>) and Palantir Technologies Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NYSE">PLTR</a>) are leading what Wedbush Securities Managing Director Dan Ives describes as an &#8220;AI revolution&#8221; in the enterprise software industry, with Oracle Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ORCL#NYSE">ORCL</a>) set to benefit from the transformation in 2025, Ives said in an interview on Tuesday.
What Happened: Following Salesforce&#8217;s latest earnings report, Ives <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i9X0RqoP1oQ">described</a> the quarter as &#8220;Goldilocks,&#8221; in a CNBC interview highlighting the company&#8217;s stronger-than-expected top-line performance and revenue guidance. 
Salesforce <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/12/42302924/salesforce-q3-earnings-revenue-beat-eps-miss-free-cash-flow-up-30-ai-driving-groundbreaking-transformation-and-more">reported third-quarter</a> revenue of $9.44 billion, with remaining performance obligations up 10%, despite missing bottom-line estimates.
&#8220;This is a phenomenal balance of growth,&#8221; Ives said, dismissing concerns about the earnings miss. &#8220;Right now you want to see them focus on spending, especially when it comes to what they&#8217;re building out from an AI perspective.&#8221;
Salesforce&#8217;s Agent Force initiative could generate &#8220;$5-6 billion a year&#8221; in revenue, according to Ives, who sees &#8220;massive upside&#8221; for the company&#8217;s stock. The enterprise software giant&#8217;s shares closed at $331.43, up 0.13% on Tuesday.

Why It Matters: Meanwhile, Palantir Technologies has emerged as a frontrunner in the AI transformation. The company&#8217;s stock surged 6.88% to close at $70.96 after receiving FedRAMP High Authorization for its Federal Cloud Service, expanding its capability to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/legal/24/12/42292744/whats-going-on-with-palantir-technologies-stock-today-9">serve U.S. government agencies</a>.
Ives emphasized that the AI revolution extends beyond the &#8220;Magnificent Seven&#8221; tech giants, affecting various sectors including software, cybersecurity, and storage. &#8220;The biggest tech trend in the last 40 to 50 years,&#8221; he noted, suggesting investors are comfortable with increased spending as long as companies demonstrate growth and deal flow.
Looking ahead to 2025, Ives sees the AI transformation spreading across the software industry, with Palantir leading the charge followed by Salesforce and Oracle, marking what he calls &#8220;a renaissance of growth&#8221; for the sector.

Palantir Paving The Way For AI Transformation, With Salesforce And Oracle To Follow, Says Dan Ives: The AI Revolution Goes Beyond Magnificent 7

Alex Mashinsky, the disgraced founder and ex-CEO of cryptocurrency lender&nbsp;Celsius Network, admitted guilt to two counts of fraud on Tuesday.
What Happened: Despite his initial plea of not guilty, Mashinsky confessed to two of the seven charges during a hearing before a U.S. District Judge, according to a Reuters report.
The charges included commodities fraud and a&nbsp;scheme to manipulate the price&nbsp;of Celsius (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">CEL</a>), Celsius' in-house token.
Mashinsky admitted to&nbsp;providing Celsius customers with &#8220;false comfort&#8221; by falsely claiming in a 2021 interview that Celsius had received regulatory approval for its &#8220;Earn&#8221; program. He also confessed to not disclosing&nbsp;that he had been selling&nbsp;his CEL holdings, the platform&#8217;s in-house token.
&#8220;I&nbsp;know what I did was&nbsp;wrong, and I want to&nbsp;try to do whatever I&nbsp;can to make it right,&#8221; Mashinsky stated. He&nbsp;agreed not to appeal any&nbsp;sentence of 30 years or&nbsp;less, the maximum sentence for the two counts. His sentencing is scheduled for Apr. 8, 2025.

Influential financial market commentator Peter Schiff said it was &#8220;obvious&#8221; that Mashinsky was a fraudster. He posted an old clip of his argument with Mashinsky over Bitcoin&#8217;s (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) yield-generating potential.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">Celsius founder Alex Mashinsky finally pleaded guilty to two counts of fraud and now faces a maximum 30-year prison sentence.

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

Why It Matters: Mashinsky was <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/23/07/33216173/celsius-ceo-arrested-in-wake-of-crypto-lenders-collapse-sec-files-securities-fraud-lawsuit">charged</a> with&nbsp;seven counts of fraud, conspiracy, and market manipulation in 2023 and subsequently taken into custody. 
His arrest followed the collapse of Celsius Network and a Department of Justice inquiry into the company&#8217;s downfall. The Securities and Exchange Commission also filed a lawsuit against Mashinsky and Celsius, alleging securities fraud.
Celsius was among several prominent <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/22/12/29941575/the-ftx-implosion-serves-as-a-stark-reminder-of-the-technological-promise-of-blockchain">cryptocurrency companies that imploded in 2022</a>. The collapse of Terra (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/luna/usd">LUNA</a>) and a downturn in the digital-asset markets left Celsius with a significant deficit in its balance sheet, rendering it unable to handle a surge in customer withdrawal requests. The company applied for bankruptcy protection in 2022.
However, Celsius managed to officially exit bankruptcy in early 2024, beginning a $3 billion repayment to its creditors. This marked the end of an 18-month restructuring process following the approval of the company&#8217;s reorganization plan by the Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York.

Celsius Network Founder Alex Mashinsky Pleads Guity To Two Counts Of Fraud, Including Manipulating In-House Crypto's Price

KULR Technology Group Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KULR#NASDAQ">KULR</a>) shares are up roughly 72% to $1.39 over the trailing week, though closed marginally lower Tuesday. The company last week was awarded a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/11/g42162713/kulr-awarded-u-s-navy-contract-to-develop-high-temperature-internal-short-circuit-cells-for-enhanc">contract</a> by the U.S. Navy.
KULR early Tuesday also said the company <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/12/g42290212/kulr-announces-immediate-availability-of-nasa-certified-m35a-battery-cells-for-jsc-20793-packs">launched</a> NASA-certified M35A battery cells, qualified for space-ready JSC 20793-compliant battery packs, and integral to NASA&#8217;s Artemis II mission.
What To Know: KULR, in a press release last week, emphasized that this advancement is critical for safety-critical applications, particularly in aviation, where it aligns with the rigorous safety standards of the FAA and EASA.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy KULR Stock</h2>
Besides going to a brokerage platform to purchase a share – or fractional share – of stock, you can also gain access to shares either by buying an exchange traded fund (ETF) that holds the stock itself, or by allocating yourself to a strategy in your 401(k) that would seek to acquire shares in a mutual fund or other instrument.
For example, in KULR Tech Group's case, it is in the Industrials sector. An ETF will likely hold shares in many liquid and large companies that help track that sector, allowing an investor to gain exposure to the trends within that segment.
According to data from&nbsp;<a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga Pro</a>, KULR has a 52-week high of $1.67 and a 52-week low of $0.10.

KULR Technology Stock Is Up 70% Over The Past Week: What's Going On?

Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) CEO Mark Zuckerberg is seeking to play an &#8220;active role&#8221; in shaping technology policies under the administration of President-elect Donald Trump.
What Happened: On Tuesday in a briefing with journalists, Nick Clegg, Meta&#8217;s president of global affairs, said that Zuckerberg intends to play &#8220;an active role&#8221; in discussions about preserving U.S. leadership in technology, <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/69f86be5-ecdd-4222-92aa-3df0a8db213c">reported</a> the Financial Times.
Last week, it was reported that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/24/11/42227958/mark-zuckerberg-and-trump-reportedly-met-at-mar-a-lago">Zuckerberg met with Trump</a> at Mar-a-Lago, expressing gratitude for the invitation.
Clegg also admitted that the company &#8220;overdid it a bit&#8221; with content moderation during the pandemic, which seems to be an effort to appease Trump, who has accused Meta of censorship.

Why It Matters: Earlier this year, Trump had threatened legal action against Zuckerberg, accusing him of plotting against him while appearing friendly during visits to the Oval Office.
In July this year, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39759624/meta-removes-heightened-penalties-on-donald-trumps-accounts-a-day-after-ex-president-threatens-to-pu">Meta lifted additional restrictions</a> on Trump&#8217;s accounts, after he threatened to take legal action against Zuckerberg.
Meanwhile, Meta reported <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/10/41637326/meta-platforms-q3-earnings-revenue-beat-eps-beat-daily-actives-up-5-strong-momentum-in-ai">third-quarter revenue</a> of $40.59 billion, surpassing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/earnings">analyst expectations</a> of $40.29 billion. The company also reported adjusted earnings of $6.03 per share for the quarter, exceeding the projected $5.25 per share.

This marks the seventh straight quarter in which Meta has outperformed analyst estimates for both revenue and earnings, <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/">according to Benzinga Pro</a>.
Price Action: Meta&#8217;s stock rose 3.51% on Tuesday, finishing the day at $613.65. During after-hours trading, it saw a slight uptick of 0.059%, reaching $614.01. Year-to-date, Meta&#8217;s shares have surged by 77.21%, significantly outperforming the Nasdaq 100 index, which has gained 28.32% in the same period.
Based on evaluations from 41 analysts, Meta&#8217;s consensus price target stands at $639.05, with the highest projection of $811 issued by Rosenblatt on Oct. 31, 2024. Recent ratings from Raymond James, Wells Fargo, and Citigroup average at $673.67, implying a potential 9.72% upside.

Analyst Notes: Widely followed cryptocurrency analyst Justin Bennett made a bold prediction about Ethereum's future price moves.
"If I&#8217;m right about ETH, it trades back to $1,000 from current levels. If I&#8217;m wrong, Ethereum breaks $3,700 to target $4,000," he said. "I&#8217;ve placed my bet. I&#8217;ll be here to call out levels to watch if I&#8217;m right or admit if I&#8217;m wrong."

Palantir, Salesforce, Okta, Meta, And Tesla: Why These 5 Stocks Are On Investors' Radars Today

South Korean markets traded sharply lower on Wednesday following a dramatic political upheaval that saw President Yoon Suk Yeol briefly impose and then quickly withdraw martial law <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/12/42301885/south-korea-etfs-won-pare-losses-as-yoon-makes-u-turn-on-martial-law-declaration">after facing parliamentary opposition</a>.
What Happened: The benchmark Kospi index fell 1.15% to 2,471.27, while the tech-heavy Kosdaq 100 dropped 2.64% as of 9:49 am local time, according to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">data from Benzinga Pro</a>. 
The political uncertainty particularly affected major technology and industrial stocks, with Samsung Electronics Co. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SSNLF#OTC">SSNLF</a>) declining 1.12%.
NVIDIA Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) supplier SK Hynix (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HXSCF#OTC">HXSCF</a>) saw its shares drop 0.061%.

South Korean Markets Plunge Amid Political Turmoil As President Yoon's Martial Law U-Turn Sparks Uncertainty: Samsung, SK Hynix, And Hyundai Stocks Tumble

On Tuesday, Pershing Square Capital Management CEO Bill Ackman slammed what he said were attempts by the Biden administration to &#8220;make permanent the Deep State&#8221; in a post on X. 
What Happened: Ackman said, &#8220;Biden is attempting to make permanent the Deep State before he leaves office by burdening the government with untenable contracts so that [Donald Trump] and [Department of Government Efficiency] cannot succeed.&#8221;
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"> 
<div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">!! <a href="https://t.co/guc4kZbL2I">https://t.co/guc4kZbL2I</a>
&mdash; Elon Musk (@elonmusk) <a href="https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1864077188380684576?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">December 3, 2024</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
 He said, &#8220;This needs to stop now.&#8221; The post evoked a reaction from Elon Musk, who is the co-lead of the potential government advisory commission under the upcoming Trump administration. Ackman also shared a Bloomberg <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-12-03/biden-administration-locks-in-wfh-policies-for-some-federal-staff-ahead-of-trump">report</a> which noted that the move that could potentially disrupt President-elect Trump&#8217;s plans to reshape the federal workforce, the Biden administration has secured hybrid work protections for tens of thousands of federal employees.
The American Federation of Government Employees and the Social Security Administration reached an agreement last week, safeguarding telework until 2029. The AFGE represents 42,000 SSA workers. Biden&#8217;s recently departed SSA Commissioner Martin O&#8217;Malley finalized a new deal that protects the worker&#8217;s current remote work agreements.
The report suggested that unions have been pushing the Biden administration to renew collective bargaining agreements with federal employees ahead of the Trump inauguration on January 20.

Why It Matters: DOGE been vocal about their plans to cut government spending and streamline operations. Musk has been using his social media platform to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/42154736/elon-musks-social-media-onslaught-targets-federal-employees">criticize specific government departments and individuals</a>.
Musk and Ramaswamy have <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42140065/with-musk-and-ramaswamy-preparing-to-slash-entire-government-agencies-heres-which-departments-employ-the-most-americans-and-their-salaries">hinted at the possibility</a> of reducing or eliminating certain federal agencies, as reported by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42140065/with-musk-and-ramaswamy-preparing-to-slash-entire-government-agencies-heres-which-departments-employ-the-most-americans-and-their-salaries">Benzinga</a>. The recent move by the Biden administration to secure WFH policies could potentially complicate these plans.
Ackman said earlier this month that he would consider joining DOGE. Notably, Ackman is a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/health-care/24/11/41849583/bill-ackman-says-hed-consider-joining-elon-musks-department-of-government-efficiency-under-trump">strong supporter</a> of the President-elect and has stated that he is unfazed by market reactions to a second Trump administration.
Notably, the buzz around DOGE has propelled Dogecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/doge/usd">DOGE</a>) at times. The latest <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/12/42258934/dogecoin-bounces-9-after-bernie-sanders-views-align-with-elon-musks-doge-department">such boost</a> came when Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) expressed support for Musk&#8217;s plan to ax wasteful defense spending.

President-elect Donald <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42265694/trumps-kash-patel-fbi-pick-and-dea-nominee-could-signal-shift-in-drug-enforcement-priorities">Trump's choice to lead</a> the Drug Enforcement Administration announced on Tuesday he is withdrawing from consideration just three days after Trump made his nomination known, <a href="https://apnews.com/article/chad-chronister-trump-withdrawing-nominee-032bd91a5ef447e820e2b1f63e50861e">reported</a> the Associated Press.
Chad Chronister, Florida's Hillsborough County Sheriff, said in a post on X Tuesday evening that he will continue his duties as a Florida sheriff.
"Over the past several days, as the gravity of this very important responsibility set in, I've concluded that I must respectfully withdraw from consideration," Chronister wrote. He did not elaborate, and Trump's transition team did not immediately respond to a message from AP seeking comment.
"There is more work to be done for the citizens of Hillsborough County and a lot of initiatives I am committed to fulfilling," Chronister continued. "I sincerely appreciate the nomination, outpouring of support by the American people, and look forward to continuing my service as Sheriff of Hillsborough County."

Trump's DEA Pick Withdraws From Consideration, Will Keep Job As Florida Sheriff

Planet 13 Holdings (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLNH#OTC">PLNH</a>), a key player in the cannabis retail and cultivation space has seen its stock drop 29% over the last 30 days, reflecting broader market pressures. However, the company presents an attractive opportunity for investors, given its discounted valuation relative to peers and its substantial growth prospects, particularly in Florida.

You can&#8217;t afford to miss out if you're serious about the business.</li>
</ul>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Valuation: Discounted Yet Attractive</h3>
PLNHF is trading at $0.40 per share, with an enterprise value (EV) of $137 million, factoring in net cash of $19 million, net leases, and tax debt. A sales multiple is a common valuation metric that compares a company's market value to its revenue. This places PLNHF at a 1.1x sales multiple, lower than its competitors: Green Thumb Industries (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GTBIF#OTC">GTBIF</a>) and Curaleaf (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CURLF#OTC">CURLF</a>), both at 2x, and AYR Wellness (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AYRWF#OTC">AYRWF</a>) at 1.5x. PLNHF's lower multiple suggests it is valued more cheaply relative to these competitors, meaning investors are paying less for each dollar of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/41861161/planet-13-slashes-costs-66-revenue-grows-losses-shrink-is-this-the-turning-point">PLNHF's revenue</a> compared to the others.
<a href="https://zuanicgroup.com/">Zuanic &amp; Associates</a> notes, "PLNH trades at 1.1x current sales vs. 1.5x for the group and 2x for the likes of Green Thumb and Curaleaf."

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Growth Catalysts And Regulatory Exposure</h3>
While PLNHF lacks "regulatory unlock" optionality in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/ohio-cannabis">Ohio</a> and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/pennsylvania-cannabis">Pennsylvania</a>, where potential legalization could offer future upside, the company's Florida expansion is poised to drive growth. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/pablo-zuanic">Zuanic points out</a>, "With several <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/03/37680463/how-company-planet-13-cannabis-company-stays-green-amid-23m-revenue-and-red-ink-q4-2023-financia">organic growth catalysts</a> and a strong balance sheet, PLNH's downside risk is minimized compared to peers."
In Florida, the company plans to open 8 new stores by the end of 2024 and improve cultivation yields by 40%. PLNHF is also expanding its Nevada retail operations.
Zuanic explained that despite missing out in states like Ohio and Pennsylvania, PLNHF holds a solid financial position.&nbsp;

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Bottom Line: Think Long-Term&nbsp;</h3>
Despite short-term challenges, PLNHF's strategic growth initiatives—especially in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/05/38955155/floridas-marijuana-market-could-drive-139-revenue-spike-for-planet-13-fourfold-mark">Florida</a> and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/07/39677795/planet-13-joins-fight-nights-sponsors-ufc-fighter-and-mma-cannabis-friendly-watch-parties-in-veg">Nevada</a>—position the company for long-term success. With an attractive valuation discount compared to peers, Planet 13 represents a compelling opportunity for investors looking to capitalize on the cannabis sector's evolution.

Aswath Damodaran, finance professor at New York Univerisity&#8217;s Stern School of Business, told Bloomberg Television on Monday that he recommends buying any of the Magnificent Seven <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/24/11/42143676/which-magnificent-7-stock-should-doj-target-next-benzinga-poll-finds-over-50-say">stocks on dips. </a>
What To Know: Corrections will occur and "I'd suggest that when that happens you find a way to add at least one, maybe two or three of these companies, because these are so much part of what drives the economy and the market," Damodaran said.

It has been difficult to buy the dip on a Magnificent Seven stock as the tech giants have climbed throughout 2024. The Roundhill Magnificent Seven ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MAGS#NASDAQ">MAGS</a>) offers equal-weight exposure to the Magnificent Seven stocks and is up nearly 60% year-to-date. 
"As a value investor, I have never seen cash machines as lucrative as these companies are," Damodaran said. "And I don't see the cash machine slowing down."
Apple, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) and Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) continue jockeying for the top position as the largest company in terms of market capitalization. Apple currently holds the largest market cap at $3.67 trillion, while Nvidia is in second place with a market cap of $3.44 trillion. Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) remains in third with a market capitalization of $3.21 trillion. 
Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>), formerly the laggard of the seven, has gained more than 40% over the past month. CEO Elon Musk has grown into a trusted advisor of President-elect Donald Trump and investors are betting Tesla <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/12/42283558/elon-musks-doge-co-lead-already-targeting-tesla-rivals-vivek-ramaswamy-flags-stellantis-75b-loan-days-after-criticizing-rivians-66b-loan">will benefit</a> under the Trump administration.

What's Going On With Magnificent 7 Stocks?

French Prime Minister Michel Barnier faces a critical vote of no confidence tomorrow (Dec. 4) after invoking Article 49.3 to pass a controversial 2025 austerity budget <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/france">without parliamentary approval</a>.
The move, designed to address France's soaring deficit with $42 billion in spending cuts and $21 billion in tax hikes, has polarized the fractured National Assembly. Marine Le Pen's National Rally and the leftist New Popular Front have united in opposition, calling for Barnier's ouster. In on interview on TV today, Barnier warned that if the motion succeeds, millions of French citizens could face economic instability, including rising interest rates and tax hikes, <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/live/2024/dec/03/france-no-confidence-motion-government-budget-michel-barnier-latest-updates">per</a> the Guardian.
A failure to secure support would result in Barnier's government being the shortest-lived in modern French history, he only took office in September, further destabilizing the eurozone. President Emmanuel Macron would then need to appoint a new prime minister to navigate the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39657677/french-elections-take-a-surprising-turn-as-left-poised-for-victory-what-does-that-mean-for-the-marke">deeply divided parliament</a>.
France has often been a volatile market for foreign companies, but its size, manpower, favorable geographical position, and pole position in global tourism have made it a lucrative economy.
The following publicly listed companies have exposure to the French economy.
McDonald's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MCD#NYSE">MCD</a>) has been operating in France since 1972. Since then, it has grown into a network of 1,485 restaurants — the most in Europe — generating billions in revenue. However, the franchise got caught evading taxes after a trade union asked the company to raise wages and introduce profit-sharing bonuses. Eventually, the firm <a href="https://drupal-cloudfront.benzinga.com/news/22/06/27724606/mcdonalds-agrees-to-settle-french-tax-case-for-1-3b-wsj">paid a $1.3 billion fine</a>.
Walt Disney Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIS#NYSE">DIS</a>) opened its resort in Paris in 1992, growing it into one of the top attractions in Europe. Around 16.1 million tourists visited the park in 2023, generating $343 million in profits. The park is the largest single-site employer in the country, with 17,000 workers — making it prone to strikes that last occurred in 2023. Despite its popularity, the park has been a problematic part of Disney's portfolio and is often a drain on its resources.
IBM (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IBM#NYSE">IBM</a>) has a long-standing relationship with France as one of the IT pioneers that expanded overseas seeking foreign talent.  Nowadays, IBM has over 7,000 employees in the country, working on technology services, cloud computing, AI and digital transformation solutions for businesses.
Carmaker Stellantis NV (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STLA#NYSE">STLA</a>) has a vital presence in the country, owing to its origins in the French PSA Group. It is the fourth largest automotive firm by sales, managing established brands like Citroen, Peugeot and DS Automobiles. Stellantis currently has five operating factories in different regions, producing at least 14 different models.
For investors monitoring broad exposure to domestically incorporated French companies there is iShares MSCI France ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EWQ#NYSE">EWQ</a>). It holds 60 largest French companies, including market leaders such as LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton SE (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LVMUY#OTC">LVMUY</a>), Schneider Electric, TotalEnergies SE (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TTE#NYSE">TTE</a>) and Airbus SE (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EADSY#OTC">EADSY</a>).

Key Stocks, ETF To Watch As French Government Faces No-Confidence Vote

Social media platform Threads, which is a part of Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) is rolling out new search tools as it looks to compete with X and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42156013/bluesky-adds-millions-of-users-as-elon-musks-social-media-platform-faces-exodus-post-trump-win-here-are-a-few-starter-packs-to-help-you-get-going-on-latest-x-rival">fast-growing competitor Bluesky.</a>
What Happened: Threads, which like Bluesky, has been trending and gaining new subscribers as <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">people look for </a>alternatives to Elon Musk's X platform.
The Meta-owned company announced new search tools, which include the option to refine searches by a profile and date range. The update will roll out globally over the coming weeks, <a href="https://www.threads.net/@threads/post/DDFkqNuPil1">according </a>to the company.
"We're making it easier for you to search for specific posts here," the company said.
While the new search tools still pale in comparison to ways to find posts on X, Threads can better compete with Bluesky, according to a <a href="https://techcrunch.com/2024/12/02/threads-takes-on-bluesky-with-more-advanced-search/">report </a>from TechCrunch.
On Bluesky, users can search by user profiles and date ranges.
Prior to the latest Threads update, the platform offered basic search functions like using a keyword and then narrowing results based on top results or recent results.

Why It's Important: In October, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg said Threads had around 275 million monthly users, averaging around one million signups daily.
Bluesky has also seen strong growth in recent months with users looking for alternates to X since the 2024 election. Bluesky had around nine million users in October and has grown to around 24 million users, according to the report.
Outside of the new search tools, Threads recently made changes that included users being able to choose their default feed.
The focus on new features could show how serious Meta is about growing Threads and/or come as Bluesky is growing in the sector.
"Engagement is growing too, so we continue to be on track towards this becoming our next major social app," Zuckerberg said in October of Threads.
At the time, Meta Chief Financial Officer Susan Li also said there were plans to bring more features to Threads given the growth potential.
&#8220;We&#8217;re very focused on continuing to build out the sort of functionality of Threads over time and being responsive to what users tell us that they&#8217;re interest in," Li said.
META Price Action: Meta Platforms stock hit an all-time high of $614.20 Tuesday before closing up 3.51% to $613.65. The stock is up 77% year-to-date in 2024.

Pure Storage Enters Collaboration With Kioxia To Addresses The Growing Demand For Scalable Storage Infrastructure

Gamers are spending more time watching gaming content than actually playing games, according to a new <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/gaming/24/08/40403494/gaming-industry-shows-signs-of-recovery-in-2024-report">report.</a>
The study, conducted by Midia Research (<a href="https://www.gamesindustry.biz/new-report-claims-gamers-spend-more-time-watching-videos-about-gaming-than-playing-games">via</a> GamesIndustry.biz), reveals that gamers average 8.5 hours weekly watching game-related videos on platforms like Alphabet Inc&#8216;s (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>) YouTube and Twitch, compared to 7.4 hours actively gaming.

This trend presents a significant revenue opportunity for game publishers, the report suggests.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">The Shift Toward Gaming Video Content</h1>
Midia&#8217;s findings show the growing dominance of video content in the gaming world. About 24% of console and PC players, along with 48% of &#8220;in-game buyers,&#8221; regularly consume game-related content, with the latter group identified as &#8220;high-spending gamers.&#8221; These numbers signal an untapped market within the gaming ecosystem.
According to Midia, game publishers are losing potential revenue to third-party platforms, particularly in advertising. This loss is significant at a time when the gaming industry faces challenges to sustain growth.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Reclaiming Engagement and Revenue</h1>
"It's time for game publishers to think about in-game video as something beyond marketing alone," said Rhys Elliott, games analyst at Midia Research. 
&#8221;By reclaiming video engagement, publishers have the potential to unlock new revenue streams, like advertising and drive growth,&#8221; he added.

최근의 전개 상황에 따르면 아마존닷컴(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>)은 늘어나는 수요를 촉진하기 위해 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/07/39568237/tech-giants-eye-nuclear-power-to-fuel-ai-boom-raising-concerns-over-stability-and-environmental-" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">원자력 에너지에 대한 관심을 높이고 있을 수</a> 있다.
이 거대 기술 기업은 데이터 센터 엔지니어링 부서의 수석 원자력 엔지니어 <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/jobs/view/principal-nuclear-engineer-datacenter-engineering-power-generation-solutions-at-amazon-web-services-aws-4007936223" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">채용 공고</a>를 다시 게시하여 장기적인 에너지 전략에 대한 의문을 제기했다.
신흥 초소형 원자로 기술 회사인 나노 뉴클리어 에너지(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NNE#NASDAQ">NNE</a>)는 이전에 트위터였던 X의 소셜 미디어 <a href="https://x.com/nano_nuclear/status/1827024271731802146" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">게시물</a>에서 이 채용 공고를 언급했다.
왜 이것이 중요한가 (Why This Is Important): 아마존의 이 채용 공고는 탈렌 에너지(Talen Energy)가 올해 초 아마존 웹 서비스(AWS)에 960메가와트 데이터 센터 캠퍼스를 6억 5천만 달러에 판매하기로 합의한 직후 나온 것이다. 이 거래에는 서스퀘하나(Susquehanna) 원자력 발전소로부터의 10년간 전력 공급 계약이 포함되어 있다.
이는 특히 Amazon의 청정, 무탄소 에너지원에 대한 의지를 강조한다.
아만존의 한 대변인은 <a href="https://www.ans.org/news/article-5842/amazon-buys-nuclearpowered-data-center-from-talen/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">미국 원자력 학회</a>에 &#8220;기상 조건에 따라 에너지를 생성하는 풍력 및 태양광 프로젝트를 보완하기 위해 새로운 혁신 및 기술을 탐색하고 다른 청정, 무탄소 에너지원에 투자하고 있다. 탈렌 에너지와의 탄소 없는 에너지에 대한 이 계약은 그 노력의 일환이다&#8221;라고 말했다.
추가 읽기: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/03/37627399/amazons-shot-at-nuclear-power-play-will-the-tech-giants-latest-move-redefine-green-energy-for-data-c" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">아마존의 원자력 발전 시도 &#8211; 이 기술 대기업의 최신 움직임이 데이터 센터를 위한 청정 에너지를 재정의할까?</a>
7월 10일에 발표된 한 <a href="https://www.aboutamazon.com/news/sustainability/amazon-renewable-energy-updates" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">보고서</a>에서, 아마존은 데이터 센터, 기업 사무실, 식료품점, 주문 처리 센터를 포함한 전 세계 운영 전반에 걸쳐 사용되는 전력의 100%를 재생 가능 에너지에서 조달한다는 목표를 달성했다고 발표했다. 이 목표는 원래 2030년으로 설정되었으며, 이 회사는 태양광 및 풍력 프로젝트에 대한 투자를 계속하면서 원자력 및 배터리 저장 솔루션을 탐색하여 에너지 수요를 유지할 계획이다.
원자력 에너지에 대한 관심이 논란이 될 수 있는 이유
아마존의 원자력 야망은 논란의 여지가 있다.
미국 원자력 학회의 <a href="https://www.ans.org/news/article-6180/aep-exelon-ask-ferc-to-scrutinize-amazontalen-data-center-deal/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">보고서</a>에 따르면, 탈렌 에너지와의 협정 이후 유틸리티 회사들인 아메리칸 일렉트릭 파워 컴퍼니(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AEP#NASDAQ">AEP</a>)와 엑셀론 코퍼레이션(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EXC#NASDAQ">EXC</a>)이 이 전기 공급 계약은 아마존이 전력망의 혜택을 누리면서 그 유지비용에 기여하지 않게 한다고 주장하며 연방 에너지 규제 위원회(FERC)에 공식적으로 이의를 제기했다.
그들은 데이터 센터의 전력 사용량이 그리드의 리소스와 간접적으로 연결되어 있기 때문에 이것이 다른 PJM 요금 납부자의 비용 증가로 이어질 수 있다고 주장합니다. PJM 요금 납부자는 펜실베이니아-뉴저지-메릴랜드 상호 연결(PJM)의 고객입니다.
그들은 이것이 다른 PJM 요금 납부자들의 비용 증가로 이어질 수 있다고 주장한다. 데이터 센터의 전력 사용은 간접적으로 전력망의 자원과 연결되어 있다. PJM 요금 납부자들은 펜실베이니아-뉴저지-메릴랜드 인터커넥션(PJM)의 고객들이다.
그뿐만이 아니다!
히트 맵(Heat Map)의 3월 <a href="https://heatmap.news/technology/amazon-nuclear-talen-energy">보고서</a>에 따르면, 아마존은 새로운 무탄소 에너지원을 우선시하지 않고 저비용 전력 확보에 초점을 맞추면서 에너지 전략과 관련하여 거대 기술 기업들 사이에 분열이 나타났다. 반면, 알파벳(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>)과 마이크로소프트(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>)는 종합적인 무탄소 에너지 솔루션을 목표로 하고 있다.
마이크로소프트와 구글은 안정적인 전력 공급을 보장하기 위해 원자력 발전에 대한 관심을 증가시켰으며, 이는 지속 가능한 에너지 관행에 대한 더 넓은 약속을 반영한다.
아마존이 원자력 프로젝트를 진행하면서 혁신과 규제 검토의 교차점은 에너지 전략을 형성하는 데 중요한 역할을 할 것이다.
이 회사가 원자력 엔지니어들을 채용하는 것은 이 분야에서의 진지한 의도를 강조하지만, 이러한 결정의 함의는 에너지 부문 내의 관계에 상당한 영향을 미칠 수 있다.
아마존의 원자력 발전 진출이 보다 지속 가능한 미래로 가는 길을 열 것인지, 아니면 이미 복잡한 에너지 환경에서의 입장을 복잡하게 만들 것인지 궁금하다.

아마존닷컴(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>)은 미국 주문 처리 센터와 운송 사업부의 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/09/40912814/amazon-told-its-staff-they-must-come-to-office-five-days-a-week-but-its-primary-healthcare-subsi" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">시간제 근로자에 ​​대한 급여</a>를 인상했다고 수요일에 발표했다.
"오늘 일찍 저는 솔트레이크시티 근처에 있는 회사 현장 중 한 곳을 방문하여 그곳의 팀원들과 몇 가지 소식을 나누었다. 우리는 주문 처리 및 운송 네트워크 전반에 걸쳐 시간제 일선 직원의 급여 및 복리후생에 상당한 신규 투자를 하고 있다 "고 아마존 전 세계 운영(Amazon Worldwide Operations) 부사장인 우딧 마단(Udit Madan)이 회사 뉴스레터에 썼다.
그는 아마존의 일선 팀이 이번 달부터 시간당 1.50달러 인상을 받아 평균 기본 임금을 시간당 22달러로 끌어올릴 것이라고 말했다. 이로 인해 혜택을 포함한 평균 총 보상은 시간당 29달러가 될 것이라고 그가 말했다.
&#8220;이는 주 40시간 근무하는 정규직 직원에게 평균적으로 연간 3,000달러의 인상이 된다&#8221;고 그가 썼다.

아마존의 복리후생에는 선불 대학 등록금, 유연한 근무 시간, 프라임 멤버십, 입사 첫 날부터 제공되는 건강 보험 및 치과 보험이 포함된다.
&#8220;오늘 아침 이 팀에게 말했듯이, 이것은 그들이 하는 모든 일에 대한 감사의 한 방법일 뿐이다&#8221;라고 마단이 썼다.

아마존닷컴(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>)의 CEO인 앤디 제시(Andy Jassy) 가 <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/news/amazon-ceo-andy-jassy-says-213018283.html?fr=yhssrp_catchall">관리 계층을 축소</a>하고 직원을 내년 1월부터 주 5일 사무실로 복귀하게 할 것이라고 발표했다. 세계 최대의 온라인 소매업체이자 클라우드 컴퓨팅 회사인 아마존은 억만장자 제프 베이조스에 의해 설립된 기업이다.
이 변경 사항은 월요일 직원들에게 보낸 메모에서 회사의 베테랑들이 불필요한 회의와 승인 단계를 없애고 일을 더 쉽게 처리할 수 있도록 하려는 것이라고 블룸버그가 <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-09-16/amazon-ceo-wants-workers-in-five-days-a-week-leaner-management?srnd=homepage-americas&amp;sref=TBDibEcD">보도</a>했다.
제시는 아마존의 각 주요 부서가 2025년 3월 말까지 관리자 대비 개별 기여자의 비율을 15% 증가시켜야 한다고 말했다. 변경 사항에는 불필요한 프로세스에 대한 우려를 제기할 수 있는 관료주의 신고 전화도 포함되어 있다.
팬데믹이 끝난 이후 아마존은 직원들이 팀의 필요에 따라 주 3일 이상 출근해야 한다고 요구했다. 제시는 아마존의 새로운 사무실 복귀 정책은 특별한 사정이나 이전에 승인된 원격 근무 직무에 대한 예외를 둘 것이라고 말했다.

전 세계 약 150만 명의 아마존 직원 대부분은 물품을 검색하고 패키지를 배송하는 시간제 직원으로, 원격 근무가 결코 선택 사항이 아닌 사람들이지만, 이 회사는 수십만 명의 사무직 직원을 고용하고 있다.
이 변화는 아마존이 운영되는 도심의 유동인구를 증가시킬 수 있다. 예를 들어, 시애틀, 워싱턴주 벨뷰, 버지니아주 알링턴, 샌프란시스코, 텍사스주 오스틴, 보스턴, 테네시주 내슈빌 등이 있다.
이 회사는 이미 직원들을 사무실로 복귀시키려는 노력을 시도했지만, 직원들은 회사가 융통성이 없고 대면 근무가 더 나은 결과를 가져온다는 데이터를 제시하지 못했다고 주장하며 저항했다.

아마존닷컴(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>)은 파란색 배달 트럭들이 사람들의 문앞에 지속적으로 패키지를 배달하고 있다는 점을 감안할 때 소비자들이 주로 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40751108/whats-going-on-with-amazon-stock-friday">전자 상거래 회사</a>로 간주할 수 있지만, 한 애널리스트 다르게 주장한다.
&#8220;우리의 관점은 전자 상거래가 아마존의 주가를 주도하지 않는다는 것이다&#8221;고 니덤(Needham)의 애널리스트인 로라 마틴(Laura Martin)이 목요일 메모에서 말했다.
"우리는 아마존이 제품 회사가 아닌 서비스 회사(예: 광고, 클라우드, 프라임 비디오 등)라고 믿으며, 전자 상거래는 제품에 관한 것이다. 매 분기마다 우리는 부분합(Sum-of-Parts) 가치 평가를 계산하며, 대부분의 분기에 투자자들이 아마존의 전자 상거래에 대해 거의 비용을 지불하지 않고 있다고 결론을 내린다.&#8221;
그녀는 올해 2분기 아마존의 순수익이 전년 동기 대비 15% 증가한 864억 달러로 3개월 동안 회사 매출 1,480억 달러의 58%를 차지했으며 제품 판매 매출보다 4배 빠른 속도로 성장했다고 언급했다.
그녀는 분기별 제품 매출이 2021년 1분기부터 매년 4분기를 제외하고 매 분기 약 610억 달러 수준으로 정체됐다고 말했다.
마틴은 "아마존의 서비스 매출은 지난 11분기 동안 제품 매출보다 높았으며 그 격차가 확대되고 있다"고 썼다.
&#8220;우리는 전자 상거래가 아마존의 출발점이라고 믿지만 광고, 클라우드, GenAI 및 기타 서비스와 같은 고마진 사업은 아마존이 가는 방향이다&#8221;고 그녀가 덧붙였다.
마틴은 Amazon의 전자상거래 비즈니스가 고객의 요구에 매우 적응력이 뛰어나고 배송 속도를 지속적으로 단축하기 위해 &#8220;거대한&#8221; 물류 네트워크에 전념하고 있지만, 당일 배송을 유지하는 데 상당한 비용이 소요된다고 지적했다.
그녀는 높은 비용이 단일 박스에 보내는 품목 수가 적고, 빈 배송 트럭이 운영되며, 당일 배송을 위해 더 많은 연료와 이동이 필요하기 때문이라고 설명했다.
&#8220;우리는 재무가 아마존이 전자 상거래 비즈니스를 손실 우선 전략으로 사용한다고 지원한다고 믿고 있다&#8221;고 그녀가 말했다.
&#8220;이 개념은 여러 전문가들이 아마존의 소매 전략이 역사적으로 1P 및 3P 전자 상거래 비즈니스 모두에서 낮은 마진을 유지한 다음, 프라임 구독 및 광고와 같은 고마진 수익원을 추가하여 이익 마진을 개선하려고 시도했다고 언급한 것으로 뒷받침된다.&#8221;
AMZN 주가 움직임: 아마존의 주식은 목요일 1.34% 상승한 187.00달러에 마감되었다.
주식을 보유한 상장지수펀드(ETF)들도 목요일에 대체로 상승세를 보였다.

아마존의 전자 상거래는 '로스리더'이며, 그 실질적인 수익은 '서비스'에 있다: 분석가

PDD 홀딩스(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PDD#NASDAQ">PDD</a>)의 미국 예탁증서(ADR)는 월요일에 거의 30% 급락해 회사가 2018년 상장한 이후 최악의 실적을 기록했다. 이러한 급격한 하락세는 이 회사의 암울한 2분기 실적과 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/08/40548945/temu-parent-pdd-posts-86-q2-topline-growth-stock-drops-after-ceo-flags-upcoming-challenges">더 비관적인 매출 전망</a>으로 인해 촉발된 광범위한 판매 압력으로 인해 발생했다.
이러한 매도세는 부진한 2분기 실적과 투자자의 신뢰를 떨어뜨린 암울한 매출 전망이 결합되어 발생했다.
중국 거대 소매업체는 분기별 매출이 970억 6천만 위안(134억 달러)으로 2023년 같은 분기의 522억 8천만 위안보다 86% 증가했다고 보고했다. 그러나 이 수치는 분석가 예상치인 137억 8천만 달러에 미치지 못했다.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">시장은 PDD의 실망스러운 2분기 실적을 응징, 골드만삭스는 긍정적인 전망 유지</h3>
골드만삭스의 애널리스트 로널드 겅(Ronald Keung)은 주가가 부정적인 시장 반응을 보인 것은 실적 발표를 앞두고 기대감이 높아진 탓이라고 언급했다. 주가는 강력한 실적을 예상하며 7월 말 이후 약 20% 상승해 120달러 초반대에서 거래되고 있었다.
겅은 또한 온라인 마케팅 서비스 성장 둔화의 초기 징후를 지적했는데, 이는 전년 대비 29% 증가로, 컨센서스 예상치인 36%에 미치지 못했다. 또한 경영진이 언급한 느린 매출 성장, 치열해진 경쟁으로 인한 변동하는 수익, 그리고 국내 수익성의 장기적인 감소 가능성도 우려를 더했다고 설명했다.
PDD 홀딩스의 회장 겸 공동 CEO인 레이 첸(Lei Chen)은 &#8220;지난 몇 분기 동안 우리가 이룬 견고한 진전에 고무되었지만, 앞으로 많은 도전 과제가 있을 것으로 보인다,&#8221;고 말했다.
&#8220;우리는 고품질 개발로 전환하고 지속 가능한 생태계를 조성하는 데 전념하고 있다. 우리는 플랫폼의 신뢰와 안전에 크게 투자하고, 고품질 상인들을 지원하며, 상인 생태계를 지속적으로 개선해 나갈 것이다. 단기적인 희생과 수익성 감소 가능성을 기꺼이 감수할 준비가 되어 있다,&#8221;고 첸이 덧붙였다.
실망스러운 실적에도 불구하고, 골드만삭스는 PDD에 대해 매수 등급을 유지했으며, 12개월 목표 주가를 184달러로 제시했다. 이는 현재 시장 수준에서 약 90%의 상승 여력을 의미한다.
투자은행은 PDD의 강력한 광고 기술 역량, 비용 경쟁력이 있는 중국 공급업체, 유리한 위험 대비 보상 프로필을 강조하며, 현재의 시가총액이 PDD의 온라인 마켓플레이스인 테무(Temu)에 대한 평가를 반영하지 않고 있다고 언급했다.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">PDD에 상당한 비중을 둔 ETF에 큰 타격</h3>
PDD에 상당한 비중을 둔 ETF에 큰 타격 PDD의 극적인 하루 주가 하락은 해당 주식에 상당한 비중을 둔 여러 상장지수펀드(ETF)에 파급 효과를 미쳤다. 가장 큰 영향을 받은 ETF는 다음과 같다:
