The<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-invest-in-the-sp-500"> S&amp;P 500 </a>is flashing a rare technical warning signal that hasn&#8217;t been seen since the Jimmy Carter administration, with declining stocks dominating market action for 14 consecutive days through Thursday.
What Happened: &#8220;Market tops have to start somewhere, and many begin with breadth divergences,&#8221; warns Ed Clissold, chief U.S. strategist at NDR, noting this marks the longest decline streak since Oct. 15, 1978, Business Insider <a href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/stock-market-outlook-risk-signal-breadth-sp500-investor-sentiment-returns-2024-12">reported</a> on Monday. 
The troubling market breadth comes as the benchmark index trades just 4% below its record high, masking deeper problems beneath the surface. The equal-weighted S&amp;P 500, which better reflects the typical stock&#8217;s performance, has already fallen 7% from its peak.
Historical data paints a concerning picture for investors. After similar breadth declines since 1972, the S&amp;P 500 has averaged just 0.1% returns over the following six months – significantly below the typical 4.5% gain seen during all periods.
The market faces a critical test heading into the traditionally bullish year-end period. &#8220;A lack of a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42627985/which-magnificent-7-stock-will-gain-the-most-in-a-santa-claus-rally-28-select">Santa Claus Rally</a> would be concerning not only from a seasonal perspective, but it would allow breadth divergences to deepen,&#8221; Clissold cautioned.
Adding to the worries, NDR&#8217;s sentiment indicators show investors have maintained extreme optimism since September, marking the seventh-longest stretch of excessive bullishness since 1995. This optimism, combined with the Federal Reserve&#8217;s recent hawkish stance on 2025 interest rate cuts, has pushed the market toward its worst weekly performance since March 2023.
&#8220;If the stock market cannot rectify recent breadth divergences in the next few weeks, it would suggest our concerns about a more difficult 2025 could come to fruition,&#8221; Clissold concluded.

Why It Matters: The term &#8220;Santa Claus rally&#8221; was coined by Yale Hirsch in 1972 in the &#8220;Stock Trader&#8217;s Almanac.&#8221; It refers to the tendency for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/education/24/12/42625025/santa-claus-rally-in-2024-poll-shows-investors-split-on-end-of-year-returns-57-say-this">stock prices to rise </a>during the final five trading days of the year and the first two trading days of the following year. This period often sees higher prices due to factors such as year-end portfolio rebalancing, positive holiday sales reports, and optimism for the year ahead, all of which can contribute to strong returns for major stock market indexes.
When Benzinga asked if readers expect a Santa Clause rally, 57% responded that they expect one.
The S&amp;P 500 warning comes even as the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42627688/dow-surges-over-600-points-gold-jumps-1-5">index surged over</a> 1.5% to 5,956.61 on Friday.
The conflicting signals come as the benchmark index approaches what could be its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42430296/carson-researchs-50-year-study-suggests-that-the-26-months-old-bull-market-is-far-from-over">best election year</a> performance ever, having already notched 56 new all-time highs in 2024, according to Carson Research&#8217;s chief market strategist Ryan Detrick.
Price Action: Meanwhile, on Friday, the Dow traded up 1.55% to 43,000.53 while the NASDAQ rose 1.65% to 19,693.06. The S&amp;P 500 also rose, gaining, 1.53% to 5,956.61. SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) which closely monitors the S&amp;P 500 closed 1.20% higher and Invesco QQQ Trust (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>) closed 0.87% higher, as per <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>.

Tesla Inc.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) deliveries would be impacted if the U.S. were to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/11/41998381/tesla-earnings-will-be-hit-hardest-if-7500-ev-credit-is-cut-warns-gary-black-citing-80-dependence-on-ev-sales-please-do-the-math">cancel the up to $7,500 tax credit</a> currently available on the purchase of electric vehicles in the country, according to researcher Troy Teslike.
What Happened: Tesla researcher Teslike noted that the cancelation of a 5000 euro ecological bonus for electric vehicles in France as well as the cancelation of a €4,500 environmental bonus in Germany led to EV sales of the company dropping in the regions.
Cancelation of a $7500 tax credit on the purchase of EVs could similarly cause a fall in sales for the company in the U.S., Teslike said.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">Here are two data points on what could happen when the $7,500 Federal Tax Credit in the US is canceled: • In France, the €5,000 Ecological Bonus for electric vehicles was canceled a year ago on December 14, 2023.

&mdash; Troy Teslike (@TroyTeslike) <a href="https://twitter.com/TroyTeslike/status/1870368929773731876?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">December 21, 2024</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
In November, Reuters reported that President-elect Donald Trump&#8216;s transition team is planning to kill $7,500 tax credit available on EV purchases. The report also noted that Tesla representatives expressed support for ending the subsidy to the team.
"In my view, we should end all government subsidies, including those for EVs, oil and gas," Tesla CEO Elon Musk then said.
Why It Matters: During Tesla&#8217;s second-quarter earnings in late July, Musk also said that the impact of the elimination of subsidies&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39934750/trump-presidency-and-ira-cut-would-be-devastating-for-competitors-says-elon-musk-long-term-probably" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">would only be slight for Tesla</a>&nbsp;but devastating for its competitors. The elimination of EV subsidies would probably help Tesla in the long term, he added.
However, not all are <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/11/42005034/elon-musk-backs-calls-for-end-to-ev-subsidies-but-former-tesla-exec-warns-of-massive-drop-in-manufacturing-investments-if-trump-follows-through">as hopeful as Musk</a>. The Future Fund&nbsp;Managing Partner&nbsp;Gary Black said in November that the killing of the consumer tax credit will have a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/11/41999238/ross-gerber-blasts-teslas-support-for-ending-ev-tax-credit-as-insanity-amid-reported-policy-shift-under-trump-administration">negative impact on Tesla's EPS</a> similar to the one experienced by the company when it resorted to price cuts to increase delivery volume in 2023.&nbsp;
Teslike then also said that the loss of tax credit would only make Tesla lose its market to gas cars from luxury car brands.
"Tesla competes with gas cars from BMW, Mercedes, Porsche, and Audi. Therefore, without the tax credit, Teslas will effectively be $7,500 more expensive compared to those cars,"&nbsp;Teslike then said.

Tesla Deliveries At Risk If $7,500 EV Tax Credit Ends, Researcher Warns Despite CEO Elon Musk Claiming Otherwise

The Scarborough Energy Project has passed another significant milestone with the final Pluto Train 2 modules arriving at the Pluto LNG facility in Karratha, Western Australia.
The successful completion of the Pluto Train 2 module program advances the Scarborough Energy Project towards the targeted delivery of first LNG in 2026.
Since February 2024, a total of 51 modules, weighing a combined 56,000 metric tonnes, have been shipped to Karratha from the module yard in Batam, Indonesia, where they were built.
Expanding the Pluto LNG facility to include a second LNG processing train provides an efficient way to process gas from the offshore Scarborough field.

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>) latest advancements in artificial intelligence and quantum computing are helping the tech giant rebuild its reputation and investor confidence.
What Happened: After the release of OpenAI's ChatGPT in late 2022, Google had reportedly <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/22/12/30170477/chatgpt-popularity-reportedly-leads-to-google-declaring-code-red-as-sundar-pichai-increases-involvem-1">declared a "Code Red,"</a>
The company faced criticism for lagging behind rivals like Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>), which partnered with OpenAI to integrate ChatGPT-like capabilities into its products.
However, Google's latest developments have shifted the narrative, <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/3a3f8c9f-90fd-4e2f-94c4-b9977438e911">reported</a> Financial Times.

"Alphabet has been under the microscope since ChatGPT was released," said Tiffany Hsia, a U.S. equity portfolio manager at AllianceBernstein and a Google shareholder. "Gemini 2.0 and the quantum chip give investors renewed confidence that they are one of the leading tech powerhouses."
This year, Google <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42446686/google-introduces-ai-agent-prototype-that-can-browse-the-web">launched</a> Gemini 2.0, Veo 2 and Imagen 3 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/24/12/42609242/marques-brownlee-breaks-down-how-googles-ai-video-generator-veo2-outpaces-openais-sora">models for video and image</a> generation, along with a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42404763/pichai-and-musk-dream-big-about-quantum-computing-and-solar-energy-the-most-obvious-path-is-staring-at-our-eyes-literally">quantum computing breakthrough</a> with its Willow chip.
It also unveiled a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/06/39206137/google-accelerates-ai-innovation-jpmorgan-bullish-on-alphabet-as-apple-microsoft-ri">custom AI accelerator chip</a>, the Trillium Tensor Processing Unit, to challenge Nvidia Corporation's (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) dominance.
Other innovations include Project Mariner, which <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42446686/google-introduces-ai-agent-prototype-that-can-browse-the-web">compiles research reports</a> and acts on behalf of users, and Project Astra, which enables real-time answers across text, video, and audio <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/05/38826439/at-google-io-2024-sundar-pichai-and-team-announces-new-gemini-models-project-astra-ai-fraud-protecti">through smart glasses</a>.
Why It Matters: Google has also faced growing competition and scrutiny. It still dominates the search market with a 90% share, but new players like OpenAI and Anthropic pose a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/06/39426605/google-amazon-backed-openai-rival-anthropic-unveils-claude-3-5-sonnet-its-most-powerful-ai-yet">credible threat</a>.
The company also faces regulatory hurdles with the U.S. Department of Justice <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/legal/24/11/42053249/google-could-lose-chrome-browser-in-dojs-latest-antitrust-move">seeking to break up</a> Google's ad tech business and is challenging its dominance in search.
Last week, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/24/12/42635813/google-announces-major-layoffs-as-pichai-stresses-efficiency">Google also cut 10% of its top management</a> positions as part of a multi-year initiative to streamline operations and enhance efficiency.
Despite these challenges, Alphabet Class A and C shares have risen around 38% on a year-to-date basis.
It currently has a market capitalization of $2.351 trillion, making it the fifth most valuable company in the world following Apple, Nvidia, Microsoft and Amazon.
Price Action: Alphabet&#8217;s Class A shares rose by 1.54% on Friday, closing at $191.41, while Class C shares climbed 1.72% to end at $192.96, according to <a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/lxquj26b2sag">Benzinga Pro data</a>.
The latest analyst updates from JP Morgan, Goldman Sachs, and Baird place an average price target of $215.67 on Alphabet&#8217;s Class A shares, suggesting a potential gain of 11.87%.

Similarly, Oppenheimer, Jefferies, and Pivotal Research have set an average price target of $225 for Class C shares, projecting an upside of 15.9%.

Google Entered 'Code Red' After ChatGPT Release, But Gemini 2.0 And Quantum Chip Give Investors 'Renewed Confidence,' Says This Portfolio Manager

Starbucks Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SBUX#NASDAQ">SBUX</a>) workers have expanded their strike to additional U.S. cities amid stalled wage negotiations during the crucial holiday shopping period, potentially <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/12/42609868/starbucks-workers-plan-strike-in-la-chicago-seattle-on-christmas-eve-amid-holiday-rush">affecting the coffee chain&#8217;s Christmas sales</a>, according to Workers United union.
What Happened: The five-day strike, which began Friday, has spread from initial locations in Los Angeles, Chicago, and Seattle to include stores in New Jersey, New York, Philadelphia, and St. Louis, the union said in a statement Saturday. Workers in Columbus, Ohio, Denver, and Pittsburgh are also participating in the walkout, reported Reuters.
At the heart of the dispute is Workers United&#8217;s proposal for substantial wage increases, including an immediate 64% rise in minimum hourly wages and a 77% increase over a three-year contract period. Starbucks has called these demands &#8220;unsustainable&#8221; and maintains that the strike has not significantly impacted its operations, noting that only a small fraction of its more than 11,000 U.S. locations are affected.

Why It Matters: The strike comes at a critical time for Starbucks, which employs approximately 200,000 workers across its U.S. operations. While negotiations between the company and the union began in April, with over eight bargaining sessions leading to 30 agreements, key issues regarding wages, staffing, and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/12/42609868/starbucks-workers-plan-strike-in-la-chicago-seattle-on-christmas-eve-amid-holiday-rush">schedules remain unresolved</a>.
Workers United has warned that the strike could expand to &#8220;hundreds of stores&#8221; by Christmas Eve, potentially disrupting one of the busiest retail periods of the year. 
Despite these labor challenges, Wall Street maintains a generally positive outlook on the company. Wells Fargo analyst Zachary Fadem, who holds an 86% accuracy <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42260312/this-analyst-with-86-accuracy-rate-sees-more-than-12-upside-in-starbucks-here-are-5-stock-picks-for-last-week-from-wall-streets-most-accurate-analysts">rating according to Benzinga</a>, recently maintained an Overweight rating on Starbucks with a price target of $115, suggesting over 12% upside potential.
The current consensus <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/SBUX/analyst-ratings">price target among 28 analysts</a> covering Starbucks stands at $103.85, with estimates ranging from Jefferies&#8217; low of $76 to Evercore ISI Group&#8217;s high of $120.

Another country now faces a significant risk of economic stagnation warned veteran economist Mohamed A. El-Erian, in an X post, as the the major economic power&#8217;s short-term bond yields plummeted to a two-decade low on Friday.
What Happened: The yield on one-year Chinese government debt sharply declined 17 basis points on Friday, settling at 0.85%, the lowest level observed in over 20 years since 2003. This followed a significant event earlier in the trading session when yields briefly dipped below the psychologically important 1% threshold.
El-Erian is the former CEO and co-CIO at Pimco and the current president of Queens College at Cambridge University. According to him, Japan is recovering from an &#8220;awful economic trap&#8221; while China moves toward &#8220;Japanification.&#8221;
Last month China&#8217;s long-term 30-year bond yields dipped below those of Japan. This development is interpreted by investors as a signal that the Chinese economy may be entering a phase of &#8220;Japanification,&#8221; characterized by sluggish economic growth and persistent low inflation.

Why It Matters: Japanification refers to the economic phenomenon where a country experiences a prolonged period of sluggish economic growth, accompanied by low inflation, even when monetary policies are implemented to stimulate the economy. This situation often results in persistently low interest rates, as central banks struggle to combat deflationary pressures.
According to a <a href="https://www.goldmansachs.com/insights/articles/from_briefings_09-april-2021">note</a> by former chief Japan economist at Goldman Sachs, Naohiko Baba, who is now with Barclays, &#8220;Concerns about Japanification have been rising recently in Europe and particularly in China, where the working-age population is projected to decline significantly. Interestingly, however, despite its demographic headwinds, Japan's economy has still managed to grow, albeit modestly.&#8221;
China&#8217;s consumer price index increased by 0.2% year-on-year in November 2024, marking a slight slowdown from the previous month&#8217;s 0.3% increase and falling below the economists forecast. Meanwhile, China&#8217;s GDP growth for the first three quarters of 2024 reached approximately 4.8% year-on-year. As of December 2024, China&#8217;s key interest rates stood as follows: Loan Prime Rate (LPR) at 3.10% and above five-year LPR at 3.60%.
According to a <a href="https://www.ssga.com/au/en_gb/institutional/insights/economic-parallels-china-japan">paper</a> by the global financial services firm State Street Global Advisors, &#8220;China fares better than 1990s Japan in certain aspects — such as higher policy autonomy, stricter capital control, and lower urbanization ratio — the nation has higher policy uncertainty, a more extreme property-sector boom, worse demographic progression, and a more challenging strategic relationship with the U.S.&#8221;
&#8220;Proactive and coordinated policy response on both monetary and fiscal fronts to boost the public expectations of future growth will be critical if China is to avoid Japanification. This proactive policy response needs to be coupled with more long-term structural reforms to combat demographic transition and property sector drag,&#8221; the paper added.
A Dec. 9 <a href="http://cpc.people.com.cn/n1/2024/1209/c64094-40378540.html">statement </a>by the Chinese government said that it aims to implement proactive fiscal policies to stimulate economic growth. The government will maintain a moderately loose monetary policy to support economic activity, said the press release and it will utilize a combination of policy tools to effectively address economic challenges. The Chinese government also strives to actively encourage consumer spending to drive economic growth.

Mohammed El Erian Says This Country Faces Japan-Style Economic Risk Even As Tokyo Rebounds

Popular dog-themed cryptocurrency Dogecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/doge/usd">DOGE</a>) spiked late Sunday night after President-elect Donald Trump recruited longtime loyalist Katie Miller to the Department of Government Efficiency, overseen by billionaire Elon Musk and former presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy.
What happened: Through his Truth Social account, Trump announced, "Katie Miller will soon be joining DOGE! She has been a loyal supporter of mine for many years, and will bring her professional experience to Government Efficiency."
Miller expressed gratitude to Trump for the appointment and said, "Deeply honored to work for you at DOGE to make our government efficient and accountable. Let's Make America Great Again!"

Dogecoin Turns Green As Trump Appoints Loyalist Katie Miller To The Department Of Government Efficiency

Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) executive Sendil Palani on Sunday bemoaned the cost of sending letters to customers whose vehicles were affected by the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/12/42613937/tesla-stock-falls-over-5-during-pre-market-after-elon-musk-led-ev-giant-recalls-nearly-700000-vehicles">recent recall issued by the company</a>.
What Happened: Palani termed the mandate of sending letters to affected owners as a waste of time and money.
&#8220;The OEM has to pay for printing, postage (now up to $0.73 per letter), and administration,&#8221; Palani, Vice President of Finance at Tesla, said. 
U.S. auto safety regulator National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said on Friday that Tesla is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/12/42613937/tesla-stock-falls-over-5-during-pre-market-after-elon-musk-led-ev-giant-recalls-nearly-700000-vehicles">recalling 694,304 Cybertruck, Model 3, and Model Y vehicles</a> citing concerns about the tire pressure monitoring system warning lights. Tesla released an over-the-air software update aimed at fixing the issue. 
As per Palani&#8217;s estimate, posting the letters notifying customers of the recent recall alone could cost Tesla up to $506,000. 
Palani also said on Sunday that in the case of Tesla&#8217;s recalls, &#8220;very often&#8221; the issue has been resolved before vehicle owners receive the mail as many of the issues are fixed via over-the-air software updates.
In July, Tesla recalled over 1.8 million vehicles over concerns that an unlatched hood can fully open when driving, obstructing the driver's view and increasing the risks of a crash. The company, then too, fixed the issue via an over-the-air update.

Why It Matters: Earlier this year, Tesla CEO Elon Musk himself <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/02/37148735/tesla-ceo-elon-musk-urges-nhtsa-to-end-requirement-for-physical-letters-regarding-recalls-fixed-via">called upon the NHTSA</a> to stop the requirement of mailing physical letters to vehicle owners for recalls fixed via an over-the-air (OTA) update.
&#8220;This needs to stop,&#8221; Musk wrote on X.
Musk and several other Tesla executives have previously even <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/02/36921334/elon-musk-criticizes-labeling-over-the-air-fixes-as-recalls-for-tesla-vehicles-by-that-anachronistic" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">condemned the use of the word &#8220;recall&#8221;</a> for vehicle issues that are fixed via an over-the-air (OTA) software update.
&#8220;This &#8216;recall&#8217; literally just changes a few pixels on the screen with an over-the-air update. By that anachronistic standard, phones are being "recalled" every few weeks,&#8221; Musk said in February after the company issued a &#8220;recall&#8221; for about <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/02/36906058/tesla-initiates-first-ever-cybertruck-recall-as-part-of-larger-2-2m-vehicle-callback" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">2.2 million vehicles</a> due to concerns about a smaller font size for warning lights compromising the visibility of crucial safety information.

Tesla Exec Bemoans Cost Of Sending Letter To Owners Affected By EV Giant's Recent Recall Of Nearly 700,000 Vehicles

Spotify Technology SA (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPOT#NYSE">SPOT</a>) executives and board members have capitalized on the company&#8217;s remarkable stock performance in 2024, selling $1.25 billion worth of shares as the streaming giant&#8217;s market value approaches $100 billion.
What Happened: Co-founders Daniel Ek and Martin Lorentzon led the selling spree, collecting $350 million and $550 million respectively, according to U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filings. The stock sales accelerated in November and December, involving approximately 20 company leaders.
The streaming service&#8217;s shares have nearly tripled in 2024, marking a dramatic recovery from 2022-2023 when its market capitalization fell below $20 billion. The turnaround follows successful cost-cutting measures, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/12/36063807/spotify-to-layoff-17-of-workforce-being-lean-is-not-just-an-option-but-a-necessity-says-ceo-daniel-e">including a 25% workforce reduction</a> in 2023, and price increases across multiple markets.
Key executives joining the selling wave include Chief Product and Technology Officer Gustav Söderström ($106 million), Chief Business Officer Alex Norström ($63 million), and Chief Human Resources Officer Katarina Berg ($38 million). Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos, a Spotify board member since 2016, sold $6 million in stock.

However, investment firm Ark Invest, led by Cathie Wood, sold approximately $4.8 million worth of Spotify <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42281575/cathie-woods-monday-moves-4-8m-spotify-stock-sale-meets-4-7m-pinterest-shopping-spree">shares in early December</a>.
Price Action: Spotify closed at $460.88 on Friday, up by 1.48%. In after-hours trading, the stock slightly gained, reaching $461.06. Year-to-date, Spotify&#8217;s stock has surged 144.11%, according to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.
Spotify has a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/SPOT/analyst-ratings">consensus price target</a> of $402.19, based on 32 analysts. The highest target is $560, and the lowest is $190. The most recent ratings, from Canaccord Genuity and Goldman Sachs, suggest a 13.87% upside, with an average target of $525.

범블(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BMBL#NASDAQ">BMBL</a>)의 주가가 지난주 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/08/40259982/magnitude-of-misexecution-at-bumble-comes-as-surprise-analysts-slash-forecasts-foll" target="_blank" rel="noopener">눈에 띄는 매출의 예상 미달</a>로 인해 급락한 것은 경쟁이 치열한 데이트 앱 세계에서 이 회사가 성공할 수 없음을 강조했다고 한 분석가가 말했다.
범블은 회사의 2분기 매출 2억 6,860만 달러가 분석가 컨센서스를 1.6% 하회하고, 3분기 매출 중간값인 2억 7,200만 달러가 컨센서스를 8.2% 하회한 후 지난 수요일 시장 마감 이후 30% 하락했다고 로이터가 보도했다.
&#8220;현재 주가 수준에서 우리는 BMBL이 더 이상 복합 수익 성장, 안정적/향상 궤도 마진 및/또는 더 넓은 산업 성장을 달성할 수 있는 능력의 어떤 요소에도 가격을 책정하지 않는다고 믿고 있다&#8221;고 골드만삭스의 분석가 에릭 셰리던(Eric Sheridan)이 금요일에 메모를 작성했다.

골드만삭스는 여전히 해당 주식에 대해 매수 등급을 유지했으며 월요일에는 3.93% 하락한 5.74달러로 마감했다. 2021년 3월 초, 범블은 주당 70달러가 조금 넘는 가격에 거래되었다.
지난 1월 리디안 존스(Lidiane Jones)에게 CEO 자리를 넘겨준 범블의 창립자인 휘트니 울프 허드(Whitney Wolfe Herd)는 지난 5월 회사가 사용자가 다음 배우자를 찾을 수 있도록 앱에 인공 지능을 통합하는 방안을 검토하고 있다고 말했다.
그녀는 블룸버그와의 <a href="https://x.com/buccocapital/status/1788902138858353109">인터뷰</a>에서 &#8220;진짜 밖으로 나가고 싶다면 당신의 데이트 컨시어지가 다른 데이트 컨시어지와 데이트할 수 있는 세상이 있다&#8221;고 말해 큰 웃음을 자아냈다.
범블은 월요일 Benzinga에게 회사의 AI 사용 계획에 대한 인터뷰 요청에 허드와 존스 모두 참석할 수 없다고 말했다.
