Futures traders are navigating a minefield <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/tariffs">as new tariffs</a> send shockwaves across equities, commodities and Treasuries.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Markets Hate Surprises — Especially This Big</h1>
Jim Cagnina, senior market analyst at NinjaTrader, isn't surprised by the ripple effect. "Markets are inherently averse to uncertainty — especially at the scale we&#8217;re seeing with the new tariff regime," he said in an exclusive interview with Benzinga.
With inflation, raw material volatility and global supply chain risks rising, the market&#8217;s mood has clearly shifted to "risk-off."
The S&amp;P 500 futures are already down nearly 15% from their February peak, and Treasuries are feeling the pressure too. "U.S. Treasuries are also selling off big time with the 10 year yield tapping 4.5% in overnight trading," Cagnina noted, calling out the "48-basis-point move" seen last week, as one of the sharpest he&#8217;s seen in years.
As volatility hits the bond market, ETFs like the iShares 7-10 Year Treasury Bond ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IEF#NYSE">IEF</a>) or ProShares UltraShort 20+ Year Treasury (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TBT#NYSE">TBT</a>) may help traders express views on yields and rate moves.

<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Crude, Diesel, Metals Are Suddenly Hot</h1>
While some investors retreat, others are leaning in. Cagnina sees an upside in chaos — particularly in energy and metals.
"This environment is creating real opportunities in the energy space — particularly in Crude Oil, Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel and Gasoline futures," he said. Traders looking to ride the tariff-driven momentum in energy could consider the United States Oil Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/USO#NYSE">USO</a>) or Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLE#NYSE">XLE</a>), which offer targeted access to oil and broad energy equities, respectively.
Precious metals are also coming alive. "The bullish case for silver is strong and gaining momentum," he added, pointing to persistent supply deficits. Gold, meanwhile, is "finally acting like the risk-off safe haven many investors have been waiting for."
With Cagnina bullish on silver and gold, ETFs like the iShares Silver Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SLV#NYSE">SLV</a>) and SPDR Gold Shares (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GLD#NYSE">GLD</a>) offer a liquid way to gain exposure without diving into futures directly.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Where's The Bottom? Watch These Numbers</h1>
For those brave enough to dip into equities, the magic number is 5000 for S&amp;P 500 futures. "The 5000 level has become a key level – sticky, yet still highly reactive," Cagnina explained. 
If it holds and daily price ranges tighten, that could suggest a bottom is in. Even stronger confirmation would come from a close above 5330, a key Fibonacci level that could flip sentiment from bearish to bullish, noted Cagnina.
For those eyeing a rebound in equities, the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) remains the benchmark bet, while Invesco S&amp;P 500 Pure Value ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RPV#NYSE">RPV</a>) could appeal to bargain hunters anticipating a turnaround.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Every Day Is An Adventure</h1>
To time the turn, Cagnina recommends keeping an eye on the 8-period Exponential Moving Average near 5300. A close above it would be his green light to shift bullish. 
Until then? "Every day is an adventure,&#8221; he said.

EXCLUSIVE: Tariff Uncertainty Turns Traders Cautious — But Oil, Silver Might Be The Escape Hatch, Says Market Analyst

Investors holding ETFs with exposure to Walgreens Boots Alliance Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WBA#NASDAQ">WBA</a>) are closely watching how the company's buyout by Sycamore Partners will impact their portfolios. As Walgreens <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/market-summary/25/03/44102644/walgreens-could-go-private-this-week-after-a-10-billion-deal-with-sycamore-partners-report">prepares to go private</a>, ETFs that currently hold its stock will need to readjust their allocations. Let's dive into how this transition could play out for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">some key ETFs</a>.
Also Read: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/03/44182479/walgreens-stock-rises-as-company-inks-10b-deal-to-go-private">Walgreens Stock Rises As Company Inks $10B Deal To Go Private</a>
ETFs With Walgreens Exposure: What's At Stake?
SPDR S&amp;P Retail ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XRT#NYSE">XRT</a>): This ETF provides broad exposure to the retail sector, including Walgreens (almost 2% allocation). Since Walgreens is being delisted from the Nasdaq upon the deal's completion, XRT will need to rebalance its holdings, shifting funds to other retail stocks. This reallocation could create short-term volatility but will ultimately diversify its exposure further. The ETF was up 0.04% on Thursday.
Invesco S&amp;P 500 Pure Value ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RPV#NYSE">RPV</a>): As a fund focused on undervalued stocks, RPV has included Walgreens due to its relatively low valuation. With WBA exiting the public market, RPV will likely redistribute its assets toward other value stocks in the consumer sector. This fund also saw a marginal gain of 0.12% on Thursday.
Invesco S&amp;P 500 Equal Weight Consumer Staples ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RSPS#NYSE">RSPS</a>): RSPS applies an equal-weight strategy within the consumer staples sector, where Walgreens has been a key player. The buyout will remove WBA from its holdings, allowing other consumer staples stocks to gain weight in the index. The ETF gained 0.62% at market close on Thursday.
The Deal: Walgreens Goes Private
Walgreens has agreed to be taken private by Sycamore Partners in a $10 billion deal, offering shareholders $11.45 per share in cash, with additional potential payouts linked to the monetization of VillageMD. While this provides an immediate cash payout for Walgreens shareholders, it also means that ETFs holding WBA shares must adjust.
For now, Walgreens remains a publicly traded company, but as the deal progresses, ETFs will prepare to rebalance. Since none of these ETFs rely heavily on a single stock, the broader impact should be manageable. Retail-focused ETFs like XRT may see some short-term fluctuations, while value-oriented funds like RPV will likely scout for alternative investments. However, the Walgreens buyout will not upend their strategies. 
The Walgreens buyout comes at a time when the retail sector is navigating mixed earnings reports. Several major retailers have reported varied results, reflecting shifting consumer spending habits amid inflationary pressures and economic uncertainty. While some companies have exceeded expectations, others have issued cautious guidance, impacting sector-wide sentiment.

Retail ETFs Anticipate Adjustments As Walgreens Prepares To Go Private

General Motors Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>) shares are trading lower on Wednesday after the company concluded that a material impairment of its equity interest in SAIC General Motors Corporation Limited (<a target="_blank" href="https://www.sec.gov/ix?doc=/Archives/edgar/data/1467858/000119312524270298/d902397d8k.htm" rel="noreferrer noopener">SGM</a>) is necessary.
This decision follows a determination that the value of GM&#8217;s investments in certain of its China joint ventures has declined.
The company is evaluating the impact of SGM's planned restructuring actions and recent efforts to stabilize market share and focus on profitability.
General Motors expects to recognize additional equity losses of approximately $2.7 billion resulting from implementation of SGM&#8217;s restructuring plan.
The company expects to record an other than temporary impairment of equity interest in the China JV&#8217;s in the range of $2.6 billion – $2.9 billion in <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/guidance" rel="noreferrer noopener">three months ending December 31, 2024</a>.
The company said that these charges will be recorded in the quarter ending December 31, 2024, and will be non-cash in nature, treated as special for EBIT-adjusted purposes.
The company stated that the conclusion comes after the finalization of a new business forecast and ongoing restructuring actions at SGM to address market challenges and competitive conditions.
This week, the company said that it will sell its stake in Ultium Cells LLC&#8217;s battery cell plant in Lansing, Michigan to its <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/24/12/42283241/gm-to-sell-stake-in-michigan-battery-plant-to-jv-partner-for-nearly-1b" rel="noreferrer noopener">joint venture partner LG Energy Solution</a>.

Price Action: GM shares are down 1.07% at $53.09 at the last check Wednesday.

GM & Samsung SDI Finalize Massive US EV Battery Play: Details

Ford Motor Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>) is scrapping plans for a large electric <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40484811/ford-stock-charges-higher-on-ev-strategy-shift-what-investors-need-to-know">sport-utility vehicle</a> and expects to take $1.9 billion in related write-downs on the move as the automobile giant adjusts to softer-than-expected demand for electric vehicles.
Ford instead plans to offer hybrid gas-electric versions of three-row SUVs for models that include Explorer and Expedition, the Wall Street Journal <a href="https://www.wsj.com/business/autos/ford-cancels-plans-for-electric-suv-44817367?mod=hp_lead_pos1">reported</a>.
Ford also delayed launching a new electric pickup truck by a year, until 2027, and said it would lower capital spending on fully electric vehicles from 40% to about 30% of its budget.
Ford has said its EV business is expected to lose about $5 billion in 2024, having lost about $44,000 on every EV sold in the second quarter.

As Ford plans to include more hybrids in its EV offerings, it also has several full EVs in the works, including an electric commercial van that it expects to start making in 2026 and two new pickup trucks set for production in 2027.
Ford is not alone in adjusting its EV plans as consumer demand for battery-powered vehicles came in less than expected.
In June, General Motors Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>) delayed opening a suburban Detroit factory being renovated to build electric pickups and delayed the release of a Buick EV. 
Ford Chief Executive Jim Farley has said that China's EV companies have the advantage of a lower-cost supply chain and Ford needs to find ways to lower its costs to compete.
Ford said it would take a special, noncash charge of $400 million to write down expenses related to canceling the electric SUV and possibly an additional expenses of $1.5 billion to be reflected as special items in future quarters.
EV sales rose 6.8% during the first six months of 2024, marking a sharp decline of nearly 50% growth last year, Motor Intelligence data showed.
Price Action: Ford gained 1.59% to close at $10.85 on Wednesday, while exchange-traded funds that follow the stock also tracked upward.

Ford Scraps Electric SUV As It Adjusts To Lower Electric Vehicle Demand

General Motors Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>) shares are trading higher today. The company is reportedly laying off over 1,000 salaried employees globally in its software and services division as part of a review aimed at streamlining operations.
The layoffs account for about 1.3% of GM&#8217;s global salaried workforce of 76,000 as of the end of last year, which includes approximately 53,000 U.S. employees, reported <a target="_blank" href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/08/19/gm-lays-off-more-than-1000-salaried-software-and-services-employees.html#:~:text=DETROIT%20%E2%80%93%20General%20Motors%20is%20laying,unit's%20operations%2C%20CNBC%20has%20learned." rel="noreferrer noopener">CNBC</a>.
The layoffs, which include about 600 positions at GM&#8217;s tech campus near Detroit, follow recent leadership changes in the division. As per the report, the company notified the affected employees on Monday morning.
The job cut reflects automakers&#8217; aim to reduce costs and headcount amid concerns about an industry downturn while investing billions in emerging markets like electric vehicles and software-defined vehicles.
The report cited a GM spokesman&#8217;s emailed statement, &#8220;As we build GM&#8217;s future, we must simplify for speed and excellence, make bold choices, and prioritize the investments that will have the greatest impact.&#8221;
&#8220;As a result, we&#8217;re reducing certain teams within the Software and Services organization. We are grateful to those who helped establish a strong foundation that positions GM to lead moving forward.&#8221;
Last week, GM reportedly stated that it is downsizing and planning job cuts in China, focusing on a strategic overhaul and potential <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/08/40344508/general-motors-plans-major-overhaul-and-job-cuts-in-china-report" rel="noreferrer noopener">capacity reductions with SAIC</a>.
The automaker is scaling back as many foreign brands face intense competition from local players in the world&#8217;s largest car market, now grappling with substantial overcapacity.
In June, the company promoted former&nbsp;Apple executives&nbsp;Baris Cetinok and&nbsp;Dave Richardson to replace the former executive vice president of software and services, Mike Abbott, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/06/39181041/gm-promotes-2-ex-apple-execs-to-lead-software-development" rel="noreferrer noopener">who</a><a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/06/39181041/gm-promotes-2-ex-apple-execs-to-lead-software-development" rel="noreferrer noopener"> </a><a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/06/39181041/gm-promotes-2-ex-apple-execs-to-lead-software-development" rel="noreferrer noopener">left GM in March 2024</a>.

GM Cuts Over 1,000 Jobs In Software And Services Division, Seeks Cost Savings: Report

General Motors Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>) stated its commitment to establishing a profitable and self-sustaining operation in China despite <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/24/08/40237619/chinas-industrial-overcapacity-puts-it-in-doom-loop-western-markets-are-at-risk-analysis">the intense competition from local brands</a>.
&#8220;We&#8217;re committed to maintaining cash stability there at a point where it&#8217;s self-sustaining. That means not needing any capital from outside,&#8221; company CFO Paul Jacobson said yesterday at an auto conference organized by J.P. Morgan, reported Reuters.
Global automakers have faced challenges in gaining traction in China. Investors continue scrutinizing the company over its China operations. It&#8217;s less a profit driver and more of a financial burden, they say.

General Motors Remains Committed To China Despite Losses, Restructuring Needs: CFO Highlights Cash Stability Goals

General Motors Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>) plans to<a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/news/general-motors-q2-earnings-revenue-122544284.html?fr=yhssrp_catchall"> restructure its joint venture </a>with SAIC General Motors Corporation after losing $210 million in this year&#8217;s first half, but an analyst thinks the automotive giant shouldn&#8217;t even bother.
&#8220;We note that GM announced plans to restructure its operations in China,&#8221; Bank of America analyst John Murphy said in a note.
&#8220;We are concerned the pressure in China is more structural than transitory due to excess capacity and continue to believe GM should exit the market.&#8221;
Also Read: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/24/07/39932701/gm-reports-210m-loss-in-china-joint-venture-the-headwinds-are-not-easy">GM Reports $210M Loss In China Joint Venture: &#8216;The Headwinds Are Not Easy&#8217;</a>
Murphy also said that China &#8220;remains a material drag on relatively good performance in other regions&#8221; of the world where GM is having better sales as it invests in developing electric vehicles (EVs) and autonomous vehicles (AVs).
Bank of America reiterated a Buy rating and maintained a price target of $85 on GM, which beat revenue estimates for the second quarter.
&#8220;Our Buy rating on GM is predicated on our view that the company remains a leader among the industry in its Core to Future transition,&#8221; Murphy wrote.
&#8220;More specifically, GM&#8217;s ongoing execution and strength in its Core business continues to enable the company to step up its investments across EVs and AVs, further Future-proofing the business.&#8221;
Goldman Sachs maintained a Buy rating that it has had on GM since July 2020, pointing out that the company is launching eight new or redesigned sports-utility vehicles in North America in this year&#8217;s second half.
&#8220;Moreover, GM continues to focus on cost and said it remains on track to achieve its net $2 bn cost reduction plan by the end of the year,&#8221; Goldman Sachs analyst Mark Delaney wrote.
Murphy noted that GM&#8217;s total company revenue of $48 billion for the second quarter was up about 12% from the first quarter and up about 7% from a year ago, beating Goldman Sachs&#8217; estimate of $44.5 billion and Wall Street consensus of $45.1 billion.
Price Action: GM declined 4.82% to $44.25 as of Thursday&#8217;s mid-morning trading, while exchange-traded funds that track the company showed gains and losses.

General Motors Should Leave China, Analyst Says: 'It's A Material Drag'

General Motors Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>) &nbsp;shares are trading <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/movers" rel="noreferrer noopener">lower after the company reported second-quarter financial results.</a>
Also, the company announced that it delayed its 2024 Buick EV and pushed its EV pickup plant opening to 2026.
In essence, General Motors is functioning more as a profitable cash generator from traditional gasoline vehicles rather than the high-tech growth engine envisioned by &nbsp;Chief Executive Officer&nbsp;Mary Barra. Despite losses in China, strong U.S. market performance bolsters overall profitability, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-07-23/gm-tops-profit-estimates-raises-forecast-on-strong-truck-demand" rel="noreferrer noopener">reported </a>Bloomberg.
Meanwhile, GM Defense Canada, a subsidiary of GM Defense, has been awarded a&nbsp;C$35.8 million&nbsp;contract by the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) for 90 light tactical vehicles (LTVs), with an <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com//node/39907891" rel="noreferrer noopener">option to procure up to an additional 18 LTVs.</a>
&#8220;We see this contract award as the beginning of a long strategic partnership with the Canadian Armed Forces to provide enhanced tactical mobility for Soldiers today, and into the future,&#8221; said Steve duMont, president of GM Defense.
According to&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://pro.benzinga.com/?gspk=YWRhbWVja2VydDUzMzY&amp;gsxid=zBMR4PKmcgBw" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga Pro</a>, GM stock has gained over 18% in the past year.

GM Defense Canada will also provide training, technical manuals, and additional vehicle content sourced from Canadian companies.
Under the contract, GM Defense Canada will supply nine-passenger LTVs and a new utility variant, based on a proven U.S. Army design, to support NATO&#8217;s Enhanced Forward Presence Multinational Battlegroup in Latvia, enhancing mobility and safety in challenging landscapes.
GM Defense Canada&#8217;s light tactical vehicles, built on the Chevrolet Colorado ZR2 platform, utilize a significant proportion of Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) parts, including Chevrolet Performance components. Weighing under 5,000 pounds / 2,232 kilograms, these vehicles prioritize air transportability, maintenance accessibility via GM&#8217;s global supply chain, and robust safety features, meeting stringent CAF performance and safety standards.
&#8220;As we further expand into&nbsp;Canada&nbsp;and with other allied nations around the world, we will continue to leverage the vast resources of General Motors to ensure our global defense and government customers have the best capability to accomplish their mission,&#8221; duMont added.
Earlier today, General Motors&nbsp;reported a fiscal second-quarter 2024 sales growth of 7.2% year-on-year to $47.97 billion, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com//node/39904891" rel="noreferrer noopener">beating the&nbsp;analyst&nbsp;consensus estimate of $45.30 billion.</a>
The adjusted EPS of $3.06 beat the analyst consensus estimate of $2.72. In FY24, General Motors projects adjusted EPS of $9.50 – $10.50 (prior $9.00 – $10.00) versus <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/guidance" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">consensus of $9.72</a>.

What's Going On With General Motors Stock Today?

General Motors Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>) shares are trading higher after the company&#8217;s plan to invest at least $900 million to retool its Lansing, Michigan auto plant for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/electric-vehicles">electric vehicle (EV) production</a>.
As conveyed by Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm, this investment is part of a broader effort to transition GM&#8217;s production capabilities towards electric vehicles.
At an event in Lansing, Granholm detailed GM&#8217;s plans: the largest U.S. automaker will receive $500 million in government grants to aid in the conversion of its Lansing Grand River Assembly Plant to EV production.
GM will continue to produce the Cadillac CT4 and CT5 at this facility for the time being, reported Reuters.
In total, the Department of Energy (DOE) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/07/39727305/biden-administration-injects-1-7b-into-ev-manufacturing-facilities-of-general-motors-stellantis-">announced $1.7 billion in planned grants</a> for 11 plants across eight states. 
GM stated that it planned to invest at least $900 million in its application filed with the DOE, but the final figure could be higher. 
Last year, the United Auto Workers union mentioned that GM had committed to investing $1.25 billion in the Lansing plant for a future EV during contract negotiations.

GM has outlined plans to convert several internal combustion engine plants to EV production, including two other Michigan plants and factories in Tennessee, Ohio, and Kansas.

Why Shares Of General Motors Are Spiking Today: $500M Grants To Help Meet 2035 EV Goals

Shares of automobile major General Motors Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/GM" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">traded slightly lower today</a>.
The company has <a target="_blank" href="https://www.epa.gov/newsreleases/general-motors-agrees-retire-50-million-metric-tons-greenhouse-gas-credits-resolve" rel="noreferrer noopener">agreed </a>to retire approximately 50 million metric tons of greenhouse gas credits to address excess CO2 emissions identified by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
This agreement follows an EPA investigation that revealed excess emissions from around 5.9 million GM vehicles from the 2012-2018 model years.
The company will also pay a $145.8 million penalty. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) announced that GM would pay the penalty for fuel economy compliance issues and cancel over 30.6 million fuel economy credits for the 2008-2010 model years, reported Reuters.
The EPA&#8217;s light-duty vehicle standards ensure vehicles on the road meet emissions performance claimed by manufacturers during certification.
Tests by both the EPA and GM indicated the vehicles emitted over 10% more CO2 than initially reported by GM.

The settlement involves approximately 4.6 million full-size pickups and SUVs and 1.3 million midsize SUVs.

In June 2023, NHTSA reported that GM paid $128.2 million in fuel economy penalties for not meeting requirements for 2016 and 2017. GM had initially planned to use credits to cover its compliance shortfall but opted to pay penalties instead.
The final rule issued last month could cost GM up to $906 million in penalties through 2031, the report read.
GM stock has gained more than 19% in the past 12 months.

What Happened With General Motors Shares On Wednesday?

Paramount Global (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PARA#NASDAQ">PARA</a>) shares surged premarket Wednesday as Skydance Media has reportedly reached a preliminary agreement to acquire National Amusements Inc. and merge with Paramount, the parent company of CBS and MTV.
Shari Redstone&#8217;s&nbsp;National Amusements, the family firm controlling Paramount, will forward the deal to a special committee of Paramount directors for review, reported <a target="_blank" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-07-02/skydance-media-is-said-to-reach-paramount-merger-agreement?srnd=homepage-americas&amp;sref=TBDibEcD" rel="noreferrer noopener">Bloomberg</a>.
This deal, which involves significant financial maneuvering, aims to bolster Paramount&#8217;s position in the competitive media landscape.
Th development follows the recent <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/m-a/24/06/39281124/paramount-and-skydance-merger-talks-fall-through-report" rel="noreferrer noopener">collapse of previous negotiations</a>, with renewed talks gaining momentum over the past week. Skydance is led by Oracle Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ORCL#NYSE">ORCL</a>) co-founder Larry Ellison&#8217;s son David Ellison.
The new terms include a higher valuation for National Amusements and enhanced legal protections for Redstones&#8217; company.
Sellers have 45 days to explore better offers. If approved, the agreement could be finalized within days, though potential hurdles remain.

As part of the proposed transaction that Ellison previously proposed, along with partners RedBird Capital Partners and KKR &amp; Co Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KKR#NYSE">KKR</a>), offered to purchase National Amusements for $2.25 billion and infuse $1.5 billion into Paramount to reduce its debt.
Ellison&#8217;s group would contribute an additional $4.5 billion to acquire Paramount shares.
The investment represents a crucial support for Paramount, which has faced challenges as consumers shift from traditional media to streaming services.
Earlier Tuesday, Bloomberg reported that Paramount is in exclusive talks to sell its Black Entertainment Television network. The potential buyers include BET CEO Scott Mills and Chinh Chu of CC Capital, with an offer range of $1.6 billion to $1.7 billion.
Paramount stock has lost more than 34% in the last 12 months.

Why Is Paramount Global Stock Surging Today?

General Motors Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>) is reportedly facing the maximum fine from California regulators due to delayed reporting of an accident involving one of its Cruise self-driving vehicles.
The incident has prompted increased scrutiny of autonomous vehicle safety, leading to a $112,500 penalty for the automaker, reported Reuters.
Cruise failed to provide timely information to the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) about an <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/10/35052444/self-driving-cruise-car-accident-leaves-pedestrian-trapped-and-injured-in-san-francisco" rel="noreferrer noopener">accident involving one of its vehicles last year.</a>
The fine amounts to $7,500 for each of the 15 days the company withheld the information. Alongside other autonomous vehicle companies like Alphabet Inc&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) Waymo and Amazon.com Inc&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) Zoox, Cruise has faced significant regulatory scrutiny due to safety concerns and multiple crashes involving their vehicles.
The company will now be required to submit collision reports to both the CPUC and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) for incidents occurring in California.

The CPUC&#8217;s decision follows a probe into Cruise&#8217;s delayed disclosure of a pedestrian accident in <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/01/36793376/cruises-robotaxi-accident-report-released-whats-going-on-with-general-motors-stock" rel="noreferrer noopener">San Francisco on October 2.</a>
In this incident, a pedestrian was hit by another car and subsequently struck again by a Cruise robotaxi. The event led to the suspension of Cruise&#8217;s permit to operate in <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/02/36973767/california-judge-urges-gms-cruise-to-raise-settlement-offer-by-1-5x-in-robotaxi-accident-case" rel="noreferrer noopener">California and a recall of its vehicles by the NHTSA</a>.
Despite the suspension in California, Cruise resumed operations in April with a small fleet of <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/05/38814656/gms-cruise-restarts-self-driving-tests-in-phoenix-with-safety-drivers-on-board" rel="noreferrer noopener">human-driven vehicles in Phoenix, Arizona</a>. However, its authority to provide passenger service in autonomous vehicles remains revoked.
Cruise accrued expenses of $400 million in the first quarter as compared to the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/04/38426856/gm-unveils-plans-for-autonomous-driving-unit-cruise-relaunch-after-hiatus-expects-1-7b-in-expenses" rel="noreferrer noopener">$800 million in the quarter before</a>.
The company expects the unit&#8217;s full-year expenses to be around $1.7 billion.

GM's Cruise Fined $112,500 By California Over Self-Driving Car Crash: Report

General Motors Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>) shares are trading higher <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/premarket" rel="noreferrer noopener">in the premarket session on Tuesday.</a>
In a press release, the company said it approved a new share repurchase authorization to repurchase up to<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/06/n39267150/gm-board-approves-new-6-billion-share-repurchase-authorization" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> $6 billion of its outstanding common stock.</a>
The stock buyback represents more than 10% of General Motors&#8217; current market cap of $54.25 billion.
&#8220;The investments GM made in its brands and product portfolio over the last several years, and the company&#8217;s operating discipline, are delivering consistently strong revenue growth, margins and free cash flow,&#8221; said&nbsp;Paul Jacobson, GM executive vice president and chief financial officer.&nbsp;
In the first quarter, the auto behemoth repurchased&nbsp;$0.3 billion in shares, and the company had said it expects to exhaust the remaining&nbsp;$1.1 billion&nbsp;of the prior authorization before the end of the second quarter.
Check This Out: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/04/38379260/general-motors-q1-earnings-surprise-north-america-growth-rising-profit-margin-and-annual-guidance-b" rel="noreferrer noopener">General Motors Q1 Earnings Surprise: North America Growth, Rising Profit Margin And Annual Guidance Boost</a>
In the first quarter, General Motors also increased its common stock dividend by 33%, from&nbsp;$0.09&nbsp;to&nbsp;$0.12&nbsp;per share.
In November last year, the company disclosed a $10 billion&nbsp;accelerated share repurchase while continuing to have approximately&nbsp;$1.4 billion&nbsp;in remaining capacity under its prior share repurchase authorization.
General Motors said the new authorization will allow the company to opportunistically repurchase shares after the completion of the existing reauthorization.
The company held $25.5 billion in cash and equivalents as of March 31, 2024. The adjusted automotive free cash flow was $1.09 billion.
&#8220;We are very focused on the profitability of our ICE business, we&#8217;re growing and improving the profitability of our EV business and deploying our capital efficiently. This allows us to continue returning cash to shareholders,&#8221; Jacobson added.
In another development,&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/06/07/gm-costco-auto-program-evs.html" rel="noreferrer noopener">CNBC&nbsp;</a>reported last week that&nbsp;General Motors is increasingly using the Costco Wholesale Corporation&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COST#NASDAQ">COST</a>) Costco Auto Program for EVs as it expands its portfolio from niche vehicles to mass-market segments with vehicles such as&nbsp;the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com//node/39252186" rel="noreferrer noopener">Chevrolet Equinox&nbsp;and&nbsp;Chevrolet Blazer&nbsp;EVs.</a>
&#8220;We have a great partnership with Costco, and I&#8217;m really bullish on Costco because I like their brand,&#8221; the report quoted GM North America President&nbsp;Marissa West.

Buybacks

COST

General Motors Authorizes $6B Stock Buyback - More Than 10% Of Stock Float

Designed to provide broad exposure to the Style Box - Large Cap Value category of the market, the Invesco S&amp;P 500 Pure Value ETF (ARCA:RPV) is a smart beta exchange traded fund launched on 03/01/2006.
What Are Smart Beta ETFs?
For a long time now, the ETF industry has been flooded with products based on market capitalization weighted indexes, which are designed to represent the broader market or a particular market segment.
Market cap weighted indexes work great for investors who believe in market efficiency. They provide a low-cost, convenient and transparent way of replicating market returns.
There are some investors, though, who think it&#39;s possible to beat the market with great stock selection; this group likely invests in another class of funds known as smart beta, which track non-cap weighted strategies.
Non-cap weighted indexes try to choose stocks that have a better chance of risk-return performance, which is based on specific fundamental characteristics, or a mix of other such characteristics.
Even though this space provides many choices to investors--think one of the simplest methodologies like equal-weighting and more complicated ones like fundamental and volatility/momentum based weighting--not all have been able to deliver first-rate results.
Fund Sponsor &amp; Index
The fund is managed by Invesco. RPV has been able to amass assets over $2.01 billion, making it one of the average sized ETFs in the Style Box - Large Cap Value. This particular fund seeks to match the performance of the S&amp;P 500 Pure Value Index before fees and expenses.
The S&amp;P 500 Pure Value Index measures the performance of securities that exhibit strong value characteristics in the S&amp;P 500 Index.
Cost &amp; Other Expenses
Cost is an important factor in selecting the right ETF, and cheaper funds can significantly outperform their more expensive cousins if all other fundamentals are the same.
With on par with most peer products in the space, this ETF has annual operating expenses of 0.35%.
It&#39;s 12-month trailing dividend yield comes in at 2.35%.
Sector Exposure and Top Holdings
Most ETFs are very transparent products, and disclose their holdings on a daily basis. ETFs also offer diversified exposure, which minimizes single stock risk, though it&#39;s still important for investors to research a fund&#39;s holdings.
RPV&#39;s heaviest allocation is in the Financials sector, which is about 30.60% of the portfolio. Its Healthcare and Consumer Discretionary round out the top three.
When you look at individual holdings, General Motors Co (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/gm#NYSE">GM</a>) accounts for about 4.02% of the fund&#39;s total assets, followed by Berkshire Hathaway Inc (BRK/B) and Ford Motor Co (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/f#NYSE">F</a>).
The top 10 holdings account for about 25.57% of total assets under management.
Performance and Risk
The ETF has gained about 3.79% so far this year and is up roughly 15.51% in the last one year (as of 06/07/2024). In the past 52-week period, it has traded between $67.85 and $88.44.
The fund has a beta of 1.17 and standard deviation of 19.08% for the trailing three-year period, which makes RPV a medium risk choice in this particular space. With about 98 holdings, it effectively diversifies company-specific risk.
Alternatives
Invesco S&amp;P 500 Pure Value ETF is an excellent option for investors seeking to outperform the Style Box - Large Cap Value segment of the market. There are other ETFs in the space which investors could consider as well.
IShares Russell 1000 Value ETF (ARCA:IWD) tracks Russell 1000 Value Index and the Vanguard Value ETF (ARCA:VTV) tracks CRSP U.S. Large Cap Value Index. IShares Russell 1000 Value ETF has $55.21 billion in assets, Vanguard Value ETF has $115.63 billion. IWD has an expense ratio of 0.19% and VTV charges 0.04%.
Investors looking for cheaper and lower-risk options should consider traditional market cap weighted ETFs that aim to match the returns of the Style Box - Large Cap Value.

제너럴 모터스(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>)와 삼성 SDI(OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SSDIY#OTC">SSDIY</a>)는 전기차(<a href="https://www.samsungsdi.com/sdi-now/sdi-news/3942.html?pageIndex=1&amp;pagesize=15&amp;idx=3942" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">EV</a>) 미국 내 전기차(EV) 배터리 공급을 위한 합작법인(JV) 설립 계약을 완료하고 확정했다.
이번 파트너십에는 2027년까지 대량 생산을 목표로 연간 초기 생산 능력이 27GWh인 배터리 셀 제조 공장을 건설하는 데 35억 달러를 투자하는 것이 포함된다. 이 회사는 향후 확장을 통해 용량을 36GWh로 늘릴 것으로 예상하고 있다.
이번 합작 투자는 삼성 SDI가 북미 EV 시장에서 입지를 확고히 하고 고품질의 안전한 배터리에 대한 고객 기반을 확대하는 데 도움이 될 것이다.
이 합작회사는 인디애나주 뉴칼라일의 680에이커 부지에 설립될 예정이며, 1,600개 이상의 일자리를 창출하여 지역 경제를 활성화할 것으로 예상된다.
이 새 공장에서는 GM이 곧 출시할 전기 자동차에 사용할 NCA 기반 고성능 니켈이 풍부한 각형 배터리를 생산할 예정이다.
최윤호 삼성 SDI 사장은 "삼성 SDI는 ‘슈퍼갭' 기술이 적용된 PRiMX 배터리 제품을 통해 GM이 전기차 시장 리더십을 강화할 수 있도록 최선을 다하겠다"고 말했다.
GM 회장 겸 CEO인 메리 배라(Mary Barra)는 &#8220;더 많은 고객이 우리 EV를 경험하고 충전 인프라가 구축되며 더 많은 부문으로 확장됨에 따라 EV 시장과 GM 판매는 계속 성장할 것이다&#8221;고 말했다.
2023년 4월 삼성 SDI와 GM은 처음에 이 JV 비용이 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/23/04/31982430/general-motors-samsung-sdi-plan-3b-battery-plant-in-us" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">30억 달러</a>가 넘을 것이라고 발표했다. 양사는 이 공장의 생산능력이 30GWh 이상에 달할 것이며 2026년 가동을 시작할 것으로 예상한다고 밝혔다.

제너럴 모터스(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>)는 운영 합리화를 위한 검토의 일환으로 소프트웨어 및 서비스 부문에서 전 세계적으로 1,000명 이상의 직원을 해고할 것으로 알려졌다. 이 소식 이후 주가는 월요일 소폭 상승했다.
<a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/08/19/gm-lays-off-more-than-1000-salaried-software-and-services-employees.html#:~:text=DETROIT%20%E2%80%93%20General%20Motors%20is%20laying,unit's%20operations%2C%20CNBC%20has%20learned." target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">CNBC</a>에 따르면 이번 해고는 지난해 말 기준 GM의 전 세계 급여 인력 76,000명 중 약 1.3%에 해당하며, 여기에는 약 53,000명의 미국 직원도 포함된다.
디트로이트 인근 GM 기술 캠퍼스의 약 600개 직책을 포함하는 이번 해고는 최근 해당 부문의 리더십 변화에 따른 것이다. 이 보도에 따르면 이 회사는 월요일 오전에 영향을 받은 직원들에게 이 사실을 통보했다.
이번 감원은 업계 침체에 대한 우려 속에서 비용과 인력을 줄이고 전기 자동차 및 소프트웨어 정의 자동차와 같은 신흥 시장에 수십억 달러를 투자하려는 이 자동차 제조업체의 목표를 반영한다.
이 보도는 GM 대변인이 이메일로 보낸 성명을 인용하여, &#8220;GM의 미래를 건설하면서 우리는 속도와 우수성을 위해 단순화하고, 과감한 선택을 하며, 가장 큰 영향을 미칠 투자의 우선순위를 정해야 한다&#8221;고 덧붙였다.
"결과적으로 우리는 소프트웨어 및 서비스 조직 내의 특정 팀을 축소하고 있다. GM이 앞으로 나아갈 수 있는 강력한 기반을 구축하는 데 도움을 준 분들께 감사드린다."
지난주 GM은 SAIC을 통한 전략적 점검과 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/08/40344508/general-motors-plans-major-overhaul-and-job-cuts-in-china-report" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">잠재적인 생산 능력</a> 감소에 초점을 맞춰 중국에서 규모를 축소하고 인력 감축을 계획하고 있다고 밝혔다.
많은 외국 브랜드들이 이 세계 최대 자동차 시장에서 현지 업체들과의 치열한 경쟁에 직면하고 현재 상당한 과잉 생산에 어려움을 겪고 있기 때문에 이 자동차 제조업체는 규모를 축소하고 있다.
지난 6월, 이 회사는 2024년 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/06/39181041/gm-promotes-2-ex-apple-execs-to-lead-software-development" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">3월 GM을 떠난</a> 전 소프트웨어 및 서비스 담당 부사장 마이크 애보트(Mike Abbott)를 대신하여 전 애플 임원인 바리스 세티녹(Baris Cetinok)과 데이브 리처드슨(Dave Richardson)을 승진시켰다.
투자자들은 First Trust Nasdaq Transportation ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FTXR#NASDAQ">FTXR</a>) 그리고 Invesco S&amp;P 500 Pure Value ETF(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RPV#NYSE">RPV</a>)를 통해 이 회사의 주식에 노출될 수 있다.
주가 움직임: 월요일 GM의 주식은 0.97% 상승한 45.76달러에 마감했다.
