Citi analyst<a href="https://oilprice.com/Energy/Energy-General/Citi-Sees-Oil-Prices-Dropping-to-60-Under-Trump.html"> have forecasted</a> Citi analysts forecasted that Brent crude, which closed at $73.49 a barrel on Wednesday,&nbsp; would average $60 per barrel next year driven lower by the energy policies of the incoming US administration. They also said Trump's presidency could lead to a decline in geopolitical tensions.
For European nations, lower oil prices will help spur economic growth and keep prices in check, allowing for lower interest rates and higher capital investments.&nbsp;After the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022, Europe experienced an "<a href="https://www.ecb.europa.eu/press/blog/date/2024/html/ecb.blog240311~968c707650.en.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">extraordinary surge</a>" in inflation.

Europe has struggled to recover from the twin shocks of Covid-19 and the war in Ukraine. And there is little indication that euro area will shake off its weak <a href="https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/web/products-euro-indicators/w/2-30102024-ap" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">growth of 0.4% in Q3 this year</a>.

"The growth outlook is clouded by uncertainty about economic policies and the geopolitical landscape."&nbsp;
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Trump May Spur European Leaders Into Action</h3>
Trump's mandate for change after winning the election could influence European leaders to alter course. Germany&#8217;s <a target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.dw.com/en/germanys-media-react-to-donald-trumps-us-election-victory-v2/a-70715243">most widely read tabloid, Bild, said</a> that the US election was &#8220;the last warning signal for our government&#8221; to address voters&#8217; grievances.
Like their American counterparts, many <a href="https://europeancapitalinsights.substack.com/p/eu-tilts-right-as-economy-migration?r=3nmatg" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">European voters are frustrated</a> with their economic prospects and political leadership. They are <a href="https://europeancapitalinsights.substack.com/p/europe-frets-about-trump-presidency?r=3nmatg" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">concerned about geopolitical instability</a> impacting Europe with the war in Ukraine and tensions in the Middle East.&nbsp;
Trump's "peace through strength" policy had successfully fostered stability in Europe and the Middle East. <a target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.aa.com.tr/en/energy/energy-diplomacy/trump-hails-record-of-no-new-wars-while-in-office/31647">His supporters point to</a> the fact there were no new wars during his last administration.&nbsp;
Under President Joe Biden, through, Europe witnessed the Russian invasion of Ukraine and an escalation in tensions between Iran and Israel. The latest US policy shift by the outgoing president on Ukraine has also caused jitters in global markets.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">European Markets Fall After US Shifts Ukraine Policy</h3>
European markets moved lower after Biden <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/11/17/us/politics/biden-ukraine-russia-atacms-missiles.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">authorized the first use </a>of the US-supplied long-range missiles by Ukraine inside Russia.

After Biden's decision to allow Ukraine to target sites within Russia, <a target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cj4v0rey0jzo">Vladimir Putin approved changes</a> to Russia's nuclear doctrine. The doctrine now says an attack from a non-nuclear state, if backed by a nuclear power, will be treated as a joint assault on Russia.
In Washington, lawmakers in both parties generally supported Biden's policy change. "In a month-and-a-half, you're going to have a new president, and Russia will probably sue for peace," Rep. Rich McCormick (R-Ga.) said. "So let them defend themselves, punch Russia back in the face."&nbsp;&nbsp;
That show of support for Ukraine may reassure European politicians fretting about the new Trump administration.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Europe Concerns About Trump's Ukraine Policy ‘Unrealistic'</h3>
German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock has expressed concern about <a href="https://www.dw.com/en/prospect-of-trumps-return-stokes-anxiety-in-europe/a-69686356" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Trump&#8217;s unwillingness to support Ukraine</a>. But Peter Thiel, co-founder of PayPal (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PYPL#NASDAQ">PYPL</a>) and Palantir Technologies (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NYSE">PLTR</a>), swept aside these fears.&nbsp;
"You probably can't simply retreat from Ukraine without it just <a target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://youtu.be/wwJV_NuN43Y?si=_Acn9qUqGsyJbNuO">becoming a route</a>," he said on November 14. "I don't think President Trump wants a repeat of what happened with Biden in Afghanistan."
Thiel was referring to the Biden administration's "<a href="https://edition.cnn.com/2023/06/30/politics/state-deparment-afghanistan-withdrawal-report/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">chaotic</a>" 2021 withdrawal, widely perceived as a major US foreign policy failure.&nbsp;&nbsp;
British Defense Minister John Healey characterized as "<a target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://news.sky.com/story/amp/donald-trump-committed-to-nato-and-right-to-push-europe-to-increase-funding-uk-defence-secretary-john-healey-says-13252519">unrealistic</a>" accusations that Trump's return would be "a disaster for Europe" and "undermining" of NATO. Former EU official Thierry Breton said Trump's re-election "<a target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://x.com/RnaudBertrand/status/1855804917103124893">accelerated</a>" policymakers' discussions about resolving the conflict.&nbsp;&nbsp;

This would be accompanied by US security guarantees, in exchange for temporary deferment of full Ukrainian NATO membership.&nbsp;&nbsp;
During Trump's first term, he pressured European North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) members to increase their defense spending to 2% of GDP. In 2017, only four NATO members had reached the alliance&#8217;s target, compared to the 23 expected this year.&nbsp;
Trump "was right," NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte <a target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://news.sky.com/story/amp/donald-trump-committed-to-nato-and-right-to-push-europe-to-increase-funding-uk-defence-secretary-john-healey-says-13252519">said</a>.

During his first term, the Trump administration's <a target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.foreignaffairs.com/united-states/return-peace-strength-trump-obrien">Abraham Accords</a> established peace between Israel and four additional Arab nations. The US withdrawal from the Iran Nuclear Deal was crucial in significantly crippling Iran&#8217;s regional influence.&nbsp;
These efforts simultaneously restricted Tehran's access to international markets and limited its ability to fund regional conflicts. Iran supports proxy forces in Iran, Lebanon, Syria and Yemen.&nbsp;

10 Financials Stocks Whale Activity In Today's Session

Rolling out globally across the US, Germany, Italy and Spain, the new experience gives customers the ability to set up a pool in the PayPal app or online, invite friends and family to contribute, track group contributions and transfer funds to their PayPal balance to spend or withdraw.

PayPal Announced A New Experience That Makes It Easy For Customers To Pool Money With Friends And Family For Group Gifts, Travel, Special Events, Or Other Shared Expenses

E-commerce platform company Shopify Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SHOP#NYSE">SHOP</a>) is hitting new 52-week highs ahead of third-quarter financial results set for Tuesday, Nov. 12<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings"> before the market opens.</a>
Here's a look at the earnings estimates from analysts and key items for investors and analysts to watch in the financial results.
Earnings Estimates: Analysts expect Shopify to report third-quarter revenue of $2.11 billion, up from $1.71 billion in last year's third quarter, according to data<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/?utm_source=BZprocontent111124&amp;t=be2bearmibe3na1"> from Benzinga Pro.</a>
The company has beaten analyst estimates for revenue in seven straight quarters. The $2.11 billion estimate would be the company's second-largest total ever, trailing only the 2023 fourth-quarter total of $2.14 billion.
Analysts expect the company to report quarterly earnings per share of 27 cents, up from 24 cents per share in last year's third quarter. The company has beaten analyst estimates for earnings per share in eight straight quarters.
Guidance<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40268815/shopify-surges-in-q2-analysts-adjust-ratings-and-targets-citing-strong-growth-potential"> from the company</a> calls for revenue to be up low-to-mid 20s percentage rate on a year-over-year basis, which translates to a range of $2.06 billion to $2.16 billion based on 20% to 26% growth.

Key Items to Watch: Among the biggest items investors will be watching is Shopify's gross merchandise volume (GMV). In the second quarter, the company reported GMV of $67.2 billion, up 22% year-over-year and a company record.
The company also reported several other double-digit year-over-year increases in the second quarter including gross payments volume up 22% to $67.2 billion and merchant solutions revenue up 19% to $1.5 billion.
Analysts and investors will be looking for continued year-over-year growth and GMV to hit or come close to company records.
"We drove strong growth in GMV, revenue and gross profit, all amidst a mixed consumer spend environment, continued to take share and concurrently expanded our free cash flow margin," Shopify CFO Jeff Hoffmeister said after third-quarter results.
Another item to watch could be margins with Shopify President Harley Finkelstein saying on the company's second-quarter earnings conference call that Shopify was investing in marketing to help with revenue growth. Finkelstein said the marketing investments could impact profit margins.
"We've always been a company that builds for the long term," Finkelstein said. "We can achieve a seriously meaningful combination of growth and profitability."
Partnerships could be another area to watch in the earnings report and company commentary on the earnings call.
In September, PayPal Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PYPL#NASDAQ">PYPL</a>) announced it was <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/09/40776318/paypal-expands-role-in-shopify-payments-whats-on-the-cards">expanding its strategic partnership </a>with Shopify. The deal will see PayPal become an additional credit and debit card processor on the Shopify Payments platform.
The partnership could increase the growth opportunities for Shopify merchants.
Analysts have been raising their price targets on Shopify in recent weeks. Here are recent <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/SHOP/analyst-ratings">analyst ratings on Shopify</a> and their price target:
<ul>
<li>Scotiabank: Maintained Sector Perform rating and raised the price target from $75 to $80</li>
<li>RBC Capital: Maintained Outperform rating and raised the price target from $85 to $100</li>
<li>Loop Capital: Maintained Hold rating and raised the price target from $80 to $90</li>
</ul>
Investors will be closely watching to see if analysts continue raising price targets after the company's third-quarter financial results.
SHOP Price Action: Shopify stock is up 3.47% to $90.14 on Monday. The stock hit a new 52-week high of $92.16 in early trading and shares have now traded between $48.56 and $92.16 over the past 52 weeks. Shopify stock is up 24.3% year-to-date.

Looking At PayPal Holdings's Recent Unusual Options Activity

The stock market indexes have enjoyed record highs in recent years with the S&amp;P 500 outperforming other years with President&nbsp;Joe Biden&nbsp;leading the country for the last&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/education/24/02/37275812/if-you-invested-in-the-s-p-500-when-joe-biden-became-president-heres-how-much-youd-have-today" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">nearly four years.</a>
Not all stocks went up with Biden in office and investors may want to take a look back at the worst performing stocks of 2021 to prepare themselves for what could be ahead with the 2024 election nearing.
What Happened:&nbsp;Biden stepped down from&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/2024-election" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">the 2024 presidential election&nbsp;</a>earlier this year. While the current president won&#8217;t be re-elected to the White House, past performance with a Democrat as president could highlight which stocks and sectors could be winners if&nbsp;Kamala Harris&nbsp;is victorious in Tuesday&#8217;s election.
The S&amp;P 500, which is tracked by the&nbsp;SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>),&nbsp;was up 26.9% in 2021. This marked the best yearly performance since 2018 and the second-best performance for the key stock market index in the last 11 years.
The 12 months following Election Day 2020, which was won by Biden,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/22/01/25137004/biden-vs-trump-how-did-stock-market-returns-compare-after-their-first-year-as-president" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">saw the S&amp;P 500 gain 37.4%.</a>&nbsp;This was the best one-year market return under a president in many years.
While many stocks were up in 2021, not all of the publicly traded companies had positive returns on the year.
Here were the 10 best-performing S&amp;P 500 stocks in 2021, according to a <a href="https://www.statmuse.com/money/ask/worst-performing-stocks-in-2021-in-the-s-and-p-500" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">report </a>from StatMuse, and their sectors.
<ol>
<li>Las Vegas Sands (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LVS#NYSE">LVS</a>): -37.1%, consumer discretionary/casinos</li>
<li>Global Payments (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GPN#NYSE">GPN</a>): -36.8%, financials</li>
<li>Market Axess (NASDAQ::MKTX): -28.1%, financials</li>
<li>Viatris (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VTRS#NASDAQ">VTRS</a>): -25.8%, health care</li>
<li>Wynn Resorts (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WYNN#NASDAQ">WYNN</a>): -24.8%, consumer discretionary/casinos</li>
<li>Warner Bros. Discovery (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WBD#NASDAQ">WBD</a>): -24.4%, media/entertainment</li>
<li>Palantir Technologies (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NYSE">PLTR</a>): -23.8%, technology</li>
<li>Fidelity National Information Services (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FIS#NYSE">FIS</a>): financials</li>

<li>Erie Indemnity (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ERIE#NASDAQ">ERIE</a>): -20.3%, insurance</li>
</ol>
The results above show that financials was an underperforming sector in 2021 and also includes several casino stocks on the list. Peak at the top<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/21/12/24848823/10-worst-performing-s-p-500-stocks-of-2021"> 10 best performing</a> S&amp;P 500 stocks here.

What's interesting for investors could be the correlation for some stocks based on who was in the White House.
Wynn Resorts was the fourth best performing stock in the S&amp;P 500 in 2017 under Trump, but was an underperformer in 2021 under Biden. PayPal was the eighth best performing stock in the S&amp;P 500 in 2017, but was an underperformer in 2021.
The results above could show that financials and casino stocks could be underperformers if Harris wins the presidency based on the past results and Democratic Party leadership.
With less than one week until the 2024 election, investors are likely positioning their portfolio based on a Trump or&nbsp;Harris&nbsp;victory in some regards. With a close election predicted, investors may want to look to sectors that could benefit under either candidate.
Freedom Capital Markets&nbsp;Chief Global Strategist&nbsp;Jay Woods&nbsp;previously<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/sector-etfs/24/08/40515453/exclusive-trump-or-harris-12-stocks-2-etfs-could-win-no-matter-whos-president-says-market-strate" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">&nbsp;shared some sectors&nbsp;</a>and stocks to watch with Benzinga that could benefit regardless of whether Trump or Harris wins the 2024 election.
Woods named defense stocks and cybersecurity stocks as two of the top sectors to watch ahead of the 2024 election.
"I think you've got to watch this sector closely," Woods said of the defense sector.
Woods added that defense stocks could continue to benefit from geopolitical concerns and the world&#8217;s many adverse events.

PayPal Holdings shares are trading lower after Phillip Securities downgraded the stock from Buy to Accumulate.

PayPal Holdings's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PYPL#NYSE">PYPL</a>) short percent of float has risen 4.41% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 24.22 million shares sold short, which is 2.37% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 2.84 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for PayPal Holdings has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing PayPal Holdings's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, PayPal Holdings's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 5.50%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.

전자상거래 플랫폼 회사인 쇼피파이(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SHOP#NYSE">SHOP</a>)는 11월 12일 화요일 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">개장 전</a>에 예정된 3분기 재무 결과를 앞두고 52주 신고가를 경신했다.
분석가들의 예상 실적과 투자자들이 주목해야 할 주요 사항을 살펴보겠다.
실적 예상: 분석가들은 쇼피파이가 3분기 매출을 21억 1천만 달러로 보고할 것으로 예상하고 있으며, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/?utm_source=BZprocontent111124&amp;t=be2bearmibe3na1">Benzinga Pro</a>의 데이터에 따르면 이는 작년 3분기 17억 1천만 달러에서 증가한 수치이다.
이 회사는 7분기 연속으로 분석가들의 매출 예상치를 초과했다. 21억 1천만 달러의 예상 매출은 이 회사의 두 번째로 큰 총액이며, 2023년 4분기 총액 21억 4천만 달러에 이어 두 번째이다.
분석가들은 이 회사가 분기당 주당 순이익(EPS)을 27센트로 보고할 것으로 예상하고 있으며, 이는 작년 3분기 주당 24센트에서 증가한 수치이다. 이 회사는 8분기 연속 분석가의 주당 순이익 예상치를 초과했다.
이 회사의 가이던스<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40268815/shopify-surges-in-q2-analysts-adjust-ratings-and-targets-citing-strong-growth-potential">에 따르면</a>, 매출은 전년 대비 저조하게 중간 20%대 성장률을 기록할 것으로 예상되며, 이는 20%에서 26% 성장률을 기준으로 20억 6천만 달러에서 21억 6천만 달러의 범위에 해당한다.
관련 기사 읽기: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/long-ideas/24/10/41232142/jim-cramer-says-shopify-at-a-great-level-to-buy-as-golden-cross-signals-big-gains-ahead">짐 크레이머가 &#8220;쇼피파이는 매수하기에 좋은 가격대&#8221;라고 언급하며 골든 크로스가 큰 상승 신호라고 말했다.</a>
주목해야 할 주요 사항: 투자자들이 주목할 가장 큰 항목 중 하나는 쇼피파이의 총 상품 거래량(GMV)입니다. 2분기 이 회사는 672억 달러의 GMV를 보고했으며, 이는 전년 대비 22% 증가한 수치로 회사 기록이다.
이 회사는 2분기에 총 결제량이 672억 달러로 22% 증가하고, 상인 솔루션 매출이 15억 달러로 19% 증가하는 등 여러 항목에서 두 자릿수의 전년 대비 증가를 보고했다.
분석가들과 투자자들은 전년 대비 성장의 지속과 GMV가 이 회사 기록에 도달하거나 근접하기를 기대할 것이다.
&#8220;우리는 소비자 지출 환경이 혼조세를 보이는 가운데 GMV, 매출 및 총 이익에서 강력한 성장을 주도했으며, 동시에 시장 점유율을 확대하고 잉여 현금 흐름 마진을 확장했다&#8221;고 쇼피파이의 CFO인 제프 호프마이스터(Jeff Hoffmeister)가 말했다.
또한 주목해야 할 항목은 마진일 수 있으며, 쇼피파이의 사장인 할리 핀켈스타인(Harley Finkelstein)이 2분기 실적 컨퍼런스 콜에서 쇼피파이가 매출 성장을 돕기 위해 마케팅에 투자하고 있다고 언급하여 마케팅 투자로 인해 이익 마진에 영향을 미칠 수 있다고 밝혔다.
&#8220;우리는 항상 장기적인 관점에서 구축하는 회사였다&#8221;고 핀켈스타인이 말했다. &#8220;우리는 성장과 수익성의 의미 있는 조합을 달성할 수 있다.&#8221;
파트너십도 실적 발표와 이 회사의 실적 콜에서 주목할 만한 또 다른 영역이 될 수 있다.
9월에 페이팔 홀딩스(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PYPL#NASDAQ">PYPL</a>)가 쇼피파이와의 전략적 파트너십을 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/09/40776318/paypal-expands-role-in-shopify-payments-whats-on-the-cards">확대한다고 발표</a>했다. 이 거래로 페이팔은 쇼피파이 페이먼츠(Shopify Payments) 플랫폼의 추가 신용카드 및 직불카드 결제 처리기가 된다.
이 파트너십은 쇼피파이 상인들에게 성장 기회를 증가시킬 수 있다.
최근 몇 주 동안 분석가들은 쇼피파이의 목표 주가를 상향 조정하고 있다. 최근 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/SHOP/analyst-ratings">쇼피파이에 대한 애널리스트 평가</a>와 그들의 목표 주가를 살펴보면:
<ul>
<li>스코샤 은행: 섹터 중립 등급 유지 및 목표 주가를 75달러에서 80달러로 상향 조정</li>
<li>RBC 캐피털: 아웃퍼폼 등급 유지 및 목표 주가를 85달러에서 100달러로 상향 조정</li>
<li>루프 캐피털: 보유 등급 유지 및 목표 주가를 80달러에서 90달러로 상향 조정</li>
</ul>
투자자들은 회사의 3분기 재무 결과 발표 후 분석가들이 계속해서 목표 주가를 올리는지 주의 깊게 지켜볼 것이다.
SHOP 주가 움직임: 쇼피파이의 주식은 월요일에 3.29% 상승하여 89.99달러에 마감했다. 주식은 초반 거래에서 92.16달러로 새로운 52주 최고가를 기록했으며, 지난 52주 동안 주가는 48.56달러에서 92.16달러 사이에서 거래되었다. 쇼피파이 주식은 올해 들어 21.89% 상승했다.

주식 시장 지수는 최근 몇 년간 사상 최고치를 기록했으며 S&amp;P 500은 조 바이든 대통령이 지난 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/education/24/02/37275812/if-you-invested-in-the-s-p-500-when-joe-biden-became-president-heres-how-much-youd-have-today" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">거의 4년 동안</a> 국가를 이끌었던 다른 해를 능가했다.
바이든이 취임하면서 모든 주식이 상승한 것은 아니며 투자자들은 2024년 선거가 다가올 때 앞으로 있을 일에 대비하기 위해 2021년 최악의 성과를 낸 주식을 되돌아보고 싶을 수도 있다.
무슨 일이 (What Happened): 바이든이 올해 초 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/2024-election" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">2024년 대통령 선거</a>에서 하차한다고 발표했다. 현 대통령이 재선되지 못하더라도, 민주당 대통령 하의 과거 성과는 카멀라 해리스가 다가오는 화요일 선거에서 승리할 경우 어떤 주식과 섹터가 승자가 될 수 있는지를 강조할 수 있다.
SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>)가 추적하는 S&amp;P 500은 2021년에 26.9% 상승했다. 이는 2018년 이후 연간 최고 실적이자 지난 11년 동안 주요 주식 시장 지수 중 두 번째로 좋은 실적을 기록했다.
2020년 11월 3일, 바이든이 승리한 대선 이후 12개월 동안 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/22/01/25137004/biden-vs-trump-how-did-stock-market-returns-compare-after-their-first-year-as-president" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">S&amp;P 500 지수는 37.4% 상승</a>했다. 이는 수년 동안 한 대통령 하의 최고의 1년 시장 수익률이었다.
많은 주식들이 2021년에 상승했지만, 모든 상장 회사들이 긍정적인 수익률을 기록한 것은 아니다.
StatMuse의 <a href="https://www.statmuse.com/money/ask/worst-performing-stocks-in-2021-in-the-s-and-p-500" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">보고서</a>에 따르면 2021년에 가장 실적이 저조했던 S&amp;P 500 주식 10개와 해당 섹터는 다음과 같다:
Here were the 10 best-performing S&amp;P 500 stocks in 2021, according to a <a href="https://www.statmuse.com/money/ask/worst-performing-stocks-in-2021-in-the-s-and-p-500" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">report </a>from StatMuse, and their sectors.
아래는 2021년 S&amp;P 500 지수에서 가장 성과가 저조했던 10개 주식과 그 섹터들입니다:

2. 글로벌 페이먼츠 (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GPN#NYSE">GPN</a>): -36.8%, 금융

7. 팔란티어 테크놀로지스 (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NYSE">PLTR</a>): -23.8%, 기술 
8. 피델리티 내셔널 인포메이션 서비스 (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FIS#NYSE">FIS</a>): 금융 
9. 페이팔 (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PYPL#NASDAQ">PYPL</a>): -20.7%, 금융 
10. 이리 인뎀니티 (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ERIE#NASDAQ">ERIE</a>): -20.3%, 보험
위의 결과는 2021년에 금융 섹터가 저조한 성과를 보였으며, 카지노 주식들이 여러 개 포함되어 있음을 보여준다.
The results above show that financials was an underperforming sector in 2021 and also includes several casino stocks on the list.

윈 리조트는 2017년 트럼프 하에 S&amp;P 500 지수에서 4위로 좋은 성과를 보였지만, 2021년 바이든 하에서는 저조한 성과를 보였다. 페이팔은 2017년 S&amp;P 500 지수에서 8위로 좋은 성과를 보였지만, 2021년에는 저조한 성과를 보였다.
위의 결과는 과거 결과와 민주당 리더십을 바탕으로 해리스가 대통령에 당선될 경우 금융주와 카지노 주식이 저조한 성과를 낼 수 있음을 보여줄 수 있다.
2024년 대선이 며칠도 채 남지 않은 시점에서, 투자자들은 트럼프나 해리스의 승리를 기준으로 포트폴리오를 조정하고 있을 가능성이 높다. 접전이 예상되는 대선에서 투자자들은 두 후보 하에서 혜택을 받을 수 있는 섹터를 살펴보는 것이 좋다.
프리덤 캐피털 마켓(Freedom Capital Markets)의 수석 글로벌 전략가 제이 우즈(Jay Woods)는 이전에 트럼프 또는 해리스가 2024년 선거에서 승리하는지 여부에 관계없이 이익을 얻을 수 있는 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/sector-etfs/24/08/40515453/exclusive-trump-or-harris-12-stocks-2-etfs-could-win-no-matter-whos-president-says-market-strate" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">일부 섹터 및 주식</a>을 벤징가와 공유했다.
우즈는 방산 주식과 사이버 보안 주식을 2024년 대선 전에 주목해야 할 주요 섹터로 언급했다.
우즈는 방산 부문에 대해 &#8220;이 부문을 면밀히 관찰해야 한다고 생각한다&#8221;고 말했다.
그는 방산 주식이 지정학적 우려와 세계의 많은 불리한 사건들로 인해 계속 혜택을 받을 수 있다고 덧붙였다.

바이든 대통령 첫 해에 S&P 500 최악의 실적 10종목: 2024년 해리스 당선시 추세가 지속?

페이팔 홀딩스(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PYPL#NASDAQ">PYPL</a>)가 10월 29일 화요일에 3분기 실적을 발표할 준비를 하고 있는 가운데 투자자들은 이익 둔화와 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/payments" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">증가하는 경쟁 속</a>에서 거래량을 유지하는 데 어려움을 걱정하고 있는 상황이다.
애널리스트들이 예상한 바에 따르면, 이 회사는 주당 순이익(EPS)이 약 1.07달러로 작년 대비 17.7% 감소할 것으로 보인다. 따라서 신중하게 접근할 필요가 있다.
그러나 매출은 작년 대비 6.6% 증가한 78.9억 달러로 예상되고 있다. 이러한 예측은 진화하는 디지털 결제 추세와 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/artificial-intelligence">인공지능(AI) 도구</a>를 사용하여 비즈니스 전략을 재조정해야 하는 필요성에 맞서 페이팔이 균형을 유지하는 방식을 강조한다.
EPS 감소는 또한 AI 업그레이드와 페이팔의 &#8216;선구매 후결제(BNPL)&#8217; 모델을 지원하기 위한 추가 인프라 필요성에서 오는 비용 압박이 강화된 것을 반영한다. 이러한 움직임은 전략적이지만 캘리포니아 산호세에 본사를 둔 이 회사의 영업 마진을 압박했다.
참고: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/10/41584816/are-small-caps-poised-to-lead-the-market-experts-weigh-pros-cons">소형주가 시장을 주도할 준비가 되어 있을까? 전문가들이 장단점을 평가</a>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">치열해지는 경쟁</h2>
또 다른 시급한 문제는 새로운 CEO인 알렉스 크리스(Alex Chriss)가 이끄는 페이팔이 경쟁사에 비해 고객 충성도를 확보하고 거래량을 유지할 수 있는지 여부이다.

</ul>
이러한 도전에도 불구하고, 한 가지 긍정적인 점은 페이팔의 &#8220;페이 인(Pay in) 4&#8221; 서비스가 젊은 층에서 분기별 사용량이 <a href="https://www.paypal.com/us/brc/article/pay-later-user-demographic-breakdown" target="_blank" rel="noopener">증가</a>하면서 주목을 받고 있다는 것입니다.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">페이팔 애널리스트들은 상승 가능성을 전망</h2>

또한 페이팔의 최근 신흥 시장으로의 확장은 특히 <a href="https://investor.pypl.com/news-and-events/news-details/2023/PayPal-Announces-Investments-to-Advance-Economic-Empowerment-for-Women-and-Girls/default.aspx">동남아시아</a>에서 모바일 결제 성장이 계속해서 급증하고 있어 글로벌 입지를 넓혔다.
또한 최근에는 팍소스(Paxos)에서 발행한 스테이블 코인인 페이팔 USD(CRYPTO:<a class="items-end ticker-link-wrapper inline-flex" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/pyusd-usd" target="_blank" rel="dofollow noopener" aria-label="Go to Quote Page for PYUSD/USD" data-google-interstitial="false">PYUSD</a>)와 아디옌(Adyen), 파이서브(Fiserv) 및 글로벌 페이먼츠(NYSE:<a class="items-end ticker-link-wrapper inline-flex" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/gpn" target="_blank" rel="dofollow noopener" aria-label="Go to Quote Page for GPN" data-google-interstitial="false">GPN</a>)라는 세 가지 파트너십이 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/23/09/34773903/paypal-races-ahead-venmo-users-get-access-to-pyusd">출시</a>되었다.
페이팔이 매출 목표를 성공적으로 달성한다면 수익성 압박에도 불구하고 전략적 움직임이 결실을 맺고 있다는 신호일 수 있다.
주가 움직임: 페이팔의 주식은 월요일에 2.46% 상승하여 85.65달러에 거래되었다. 주식은 지난 1년 동안 63.74% 상승했으며, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/fintech/24/10/41584967/paypal-bulls-stand-firm-will-q3-earnings-trigger-a-pullback">올해 들어서만 36%</a> 상승했다.

전 대통령 도널드 트럼프는 이전에 백악관에서 4년 동안 재직한 경험이 있기 때문에, 그가 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/2024-election">2024년 대선</a>에서 승리하여 두 번째 임기를 수행할 경우 어떤 주식과 섹터가 혜택을 볼 수 있을지 투자자들이 파악하는 데 도움이 될 수 있다.
트럼프가 백악관에 처음 입성한 2017년에 가장 잘 수행된 주식들을 살펴보겠다.
2017년 최고의 주식들: 주식 시장은 2017년에 인상적인 상승세를 보였으며, 이는 대통령의 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/futures/18/01/11066769/the-stock-markets-rally-under-trump-among-the-best-ever-heres-how-his">첫 해에 가장 좋은 성과 중 하나</a>였다.
SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>)가 추적하는 S&amp;P 500은 2017년에 21.7% 상승했는데, 이는 2016년 +12.0% 상승에 비해 인상적인 상승률이다. 역사적으로 대통령 선거 연도가 다른 연도에 비해 뛰어난 성과를 거두었기 때문이다.
트럼프가 2024년에 재선될 가능성이 있는 만큼, 2017년 S&amp;P 500에서 가장 성과가 좋았던 10개 주식을 살펴보겠다. 이는 이전에 <a href="https://www.marketwatch.com/story/biggest-sp-500-winners-and-losers-of-2017-tech-health-care-and-home-builders-lead-2017-12-29">마켓워치</a>에 의해 보도된 내용다.
<ol>
<li>NRG 에너지 (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NRG#NYSE">NRG</a>): +132%, 유틸리티</li>
<li>얼라인 테크놀로지 (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ALGN#NASDAQ">ALGN</a>): +131%, 헬스케어</li>

<li>보잉 (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>): +89%, 산업재</li>
<li>마이크론 테크놀로지 (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MU#NASDAQ">MU</a>): +88%, 기술</li>
<li>D.R. 호튼 (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DHI#NYSE">DHI</a>): +87%, 소비재, 주택 건설업체</li>
<li>페이팔 홀딩스 (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PYPL#NASDAQ">PYPL</a>): +87%, 기술</li>
<li>엔비디아 (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>): +81%, 기술</li>
<li>풀테 그룹 (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PHM#NYSE">PHM</a>): 81%, 소비재, 주택 건설업체</li>
</ol>
2017년의 상위 10개 주식들은 트럼프가 대통령인 것과 관련이 없는 이유로 상승세를 보였을 가능성이 있지만, 몇 가지 공통된 주제가 있으며 전 대통령과의 잠재적인 연결고리도 있다.
결과적으로 헬스케어, 소비재 및 기술 주식들이 상위 성과를 보이는 섹터로 나타났다.
특히 마이크론과 엔비디아가 모두 상위 10위 안에 든 점은 주목할 만한 사항으로, 이는 트럼프 대통령 하에서 반도체 섹터에 긍정적인 영향을 미칠 수 있다.
또한 두 개의 주택 건설사가 2017년 가장 성과가 좋았던 주식 중 두 개로 선정된 것은 중요한 추세일 수 있다. 주택 건설업체는 현재 부통령인 카멀라 해리스가 승리할 경우 주목할만한 섹터로 여겨져 왔으며, 트럼프는 중산층을 위한 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/08/40424431/harris-warns-trump-tax-plan-will-devastate-americans-vows-to-go-after-bad-actors-behind-food-pri">주택 건설 확대</a> 공약을 내세우고 있다.

</ul>
중요한 이유 (Why It&#8217;s Important): 과거의 결과가 미래의 결과를 보장하지는 않지만, 때때로 시장 추세는 패턴과 신호를 보여줄 수 있다.
2017년의 상위 성과 주식을 기반으로 볼 때, 트럼프가 2024년 대선에서 승리할 경우 투자자들은 헬스케어, 유틸리티, 반도체 및 주택 건설업체에 대한 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/10/41213583/what-a-trump-win-could-mean-for-financial-energy-stocks-lessons-from-2016">노출을 준비</a>할 수 있다.
2024년 대선까지 2주도 채 남지 않았기 때문에, 투자자들은 트럼프나 해리스의 승리를 기준으로 포트폴리오를 조정하고 있을 가능성이 높다. 예측되는 근소한 선거 결과를 감안할 때, 투자자들은 두 후보 중 어느 쪽이 당선되더라도 혜택을 받을 수 있는 섹터를 살펴보는 것이 좋다.
프리덤 캐피털 마켓(Freedom Capital Markets)의 수석 글로벌 전략가 제이 우즈(Jay Woods)는 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/sector-etfs/24/08/40515453/exclusive-trump-or-harris-12-stocks-2-etfs-could-win-no-matter-whos-president-says-market-strate">2024년 대선에서 트럼프나 해리스 승리 여부와 관계없이 주목해야 할 섹터와 주식</a>을 벤징가와 공유한 바 있다.
우즈는 방산 주식과 사이버 보안 주식을 2024년 대선 전 주목해야 할 두 개의 주요 섹터로 명명했다.
&#8220;이 섹터를 면밀히 주시해야 한다고 생각한다&#8221;라고 방산 섹터에 대해 우즈가 말했다.
우즈는 방산 주식이 지정학적 우려와 세계에서 발생하는 여러 문제들로 인해 계속해서 혜택을 받을 수 있다고 언급했다.

트럼프 대통령 시기인 2017년 S&P 500에서 가장 우수한 성과를 거둔 10개 주식: 역사가 반복될까?

월요일에 캐시 우드가 이끄는 아크 인베스트(Ark Invest)가 몇 가지 중요한 거래를 했다. 특히, 이 회사는 페이팔 홀딩스(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PYPL#NASDAQ">PYPL</a>)와 핀터레스트(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PINS#NYSE">PINS</a>)의 주식을 매수한 반면, ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF(BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKB#BATS">ARKB</a>)의 지분은 매도했다.
페이팔 거래
Ark Invest's Fintech Innovation ETF(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKF#NYSE">ARKF</a>)는 페이팔의 주식 57,824주를 추가 매수했다. 이는 종가인 77.67달러를 기준으로 약 450만 달러에 이른다. 이 결정은 이 회사에 대해 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/insights/analyst-ratings/24/09/40929087/key-takeaways-from-paypal-holdings-analyst-ratings">애널리스트들의 다양한 의견</a>이 나온 후, 12개월 평균 목표 주가가 78.62달러로 설정된 후 이루어졌다.
최근 페이팔은 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/fintech/24/09/40731875/paypal-ventures-into-in-person-payments-with-apple-pay-integration-and-cashback-rewards">미국 포스(POS, point-of-sale) 결제 시장</a>에 진입하기 위한 전략적 전환을 했다. 이 회사는 애플의 모바일 월렛과 직불카드를 통합하고 다양한 캐시백 리워드를 제공하고 있다.
핀터레스트 거래
Ark Invest's Next Generation Internet ETF(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKW#NYSE">ARKW</a>)는 핀터레스트 주식 115,211주를 매수하여 약 351만 달러를 투자했다. 이는 종가인 30.46달러를 기준으로 한 금액이다. 핀터레스트는 7월 말에 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/07/40075181/pinterest-shares-plunge-despite-upbeat-q2-results-6-analysts-on-guidance-future-gro">2분기 실적</a>을 발표했으며, 매출이 예상치를 약간 초과했다. 그러나 3분기 가이던스는 애널리스트 예상치에 미치지 못해 2024년 나머지 기간 동안 지속 가능한 성장에 대한 우려를 불러일으켰다.
참고: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/09/40946963/bitcoin-worth-63-000-pulled-in-33-pack-of-trading-cards-at-gamestop-mind-boggling-story-go?itm_source=parsely-api" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">비트코인 63,000달러 가치의 카드가 게임스탑에서 33달러에 거래됨: &#8216;놀라운&#8217; 이야기</a>
비트코인 ETF 거래
ARKW는 ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF 주식 44,609주를 매도했다. 이는 약 282만 달러에 해당하며, 종가가 63.25달러일 때의 가치이다. 이 매도는 비트코인이 63,500달러로 새로운 최고가를 기록한 날 발생했으며, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/09/40976413/bitcoin-etf-surge-in-pre-market-as-king-crypto-hits-63-500">여러 비트코인 ETF의 프리마켓 움직임에 큰 상승세를 유발</a>했다.
월요일 비트코인은 민주당 대선 후보인 카멀라 해리스의 암호화폐에 대한 긍정적인 발언에 따라 64,600달러로 급등한 후 63,000달러 미만으로 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/09/40994451/bitcoin-ethereum-dogecoin-pull-back-from-sundays-advances-analyst-says-eths-dips-below-2-3" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">꾸준히 하락</a>했다. 지난 24시간 동안 총 암호화폐 청산액은 1억 2,400만 달러를 넘어섰고, 약세 베팅은 6,700만 달러였으며, 비트코인의 자금 조달 비율은 긍정적인 거래자 지배력을 반영하여 긍정적으로 유지되었다.
