Goldman Sachs Initiates Coverage On JBS with Buy Rating, Announces Price Target of $19.5

At last week's Benzinga Cannabis Capital Conference in Chicago, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/25/04/44752007/latino-entrepreneurs-are-thriving-in-nycs-cannabis-market-heres-the-proof">Vladimir Bautista</a>, co-founder and CEO of Happy Munkey, was named the recipient of this year's Bob Fireman Award for Entrepreneurship, an annual recognition presented by MariMed Inc. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRMD#OTC">MRMD</a>) to leaders who exemplify integrity, impact, and community commitment in the cannabis space.
The award, now in its third year, honors the legacy of the late Bob Fireman, co-founder and CEO of MariMed, who passed away in December 2022. Fireman was a pioneer of the legal cannabis movement and a lifelong civil rights advocate, beginning his activism in the 1960s. The accolade is meant to recognize cannabis executives who not only succeed in business but also champion social progress.
"Bob was an entrepreneur through and through, but he was also a passionate advocate for the legalization of cannabis and righting the wrongs of the War on Drugs," said Howard Schacter, chief communications officer at MariMed, in an exclusive statement to Benzinga. "He'd be proud that we're presenting this year's award to Vlad, who has built a successful cannabis business while also using his platform to advocate for change in policies and his community."
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">From Harlem Legacy To Legal Leader</h3>
Bautista, a New York City native raised in Sugar Hill, Harlem, began his journey in cannabis in the legacy market well before New York's legalization framework emerged. With his team at Happy Munkey, he helped transform underground culture into above-ground opportunity, launching a lifestyle brand, hosting widely acclaimed cannabis events and eventually opening licensed dispensaries in Uptown Manhattan and Downtown Brooklyn.
On receiving the award, Bautista shared a powerful message on LinkedIn:
"I didn't take the traditional path to entrepreneurship. My journey started in the legacy market, in a world where people who looked like me were criminalized—not celebrated—for their connection to this plant," he wrote. "This award isn't just for me. It's for those who died, who were incarcerated, who were deported. It's for the legacy pioneers who laid the foundation and were never given the credit. It's for the culture that raised me and the communities still fighting for their seat at the table."
<iframe loading="lazy" src="https://www.linkedin.com/embed/feed/update/urn:li:ugcPost:7339337999240888320?compact=1" height="399" width="504" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="" title="Embedded post"></iframe>
Bautista also praised his partners Omar, Jay and Ramon Reyes, his investor Matt, and the broader Latino community. "Y para todos los Latinos del mundo: esto también es para ustedes [For all Latinos in the world: this is also for you]. We're not just participants in this industry. We are the reason it exists."
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Carrying The Torch</h3>
Previous honorees of the Bob Fireman Award include Loriel Alegrete, CEO of 40 Tons, who was recognized in 2024 for her work combining cannabis entrepreneurship with restorative justice efforts.
Bautista&#8217;s win reflects a broader shift in the industry, which increasingly acknowledges the importance of legacy voices, immigrant roots, and community-based leadership in shaping the future of legal cannabis.
MariMed executives presented the award onstage at the conference in front of hundreds of industry leaders, investors and policymakers, marking one of the event&#8217;s emotional high points.

Latino Cannabis Leader Vladimir Bautista Wins Bob Fireman Award For Entrepreneurship

The S&amp;P 500 is at an all-time high. Tech stocks like NVIDIA Corporation (NVDA) and Alphabet Inc. (GOOG) have all hit all-time highs in the past six months.
Despite the uncertainties brought about by the tariff wars and other geopolitical events, AI has generally been a blessing for the tech investor.
But does it make sense to carry this optimism forward to all the other technology sectors? This article analyzes the current standing of various publicly traded companies in the online economy and how they are expected to fare over the next several months.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">SaaS Industries: Innovation or Implosion?</h2>
According to a <a href="https://www.mckinsey.com/capabilities/mckinsey-digital/our-insights/the-saas-factor-six-ways-to-drive-growth-by-building-new-saas-businesses">McKinsey report</a>, Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) is a globally $3 trillion industry that is expected to hit $10 trillion by 2030. Some of the major SaaS categories today include CRM, ERP, eCommerce, cybersecurity, and other enterprise business management suites.
A lot of these business categories are being actively disrupted by AI and are likely to witness churn over the next several years.&nbsp;
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">AI in Customer Support: Hype vs. Reality</h3>
AI agents are expected to play an increasingly prominent role in the areas of customer service and engagement.&nbsp;
One of the biggest players in this segment is Zendesk Inc. which has completely pivoted from its traditional helpdesk suite to AI-agent customer support. After delisting from the NYSE in 2022, Zendesk <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/24/03/37875551/after-delisting-from-nyse-in-2022-zendesk-announced-it-is-acquiring-a-german-ai-customer-automation">acquired</a> Ultimate, a German startup using artificial intelligence for customer service.&nbsp;
Other competitors like Freshworks Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FRSH#NASDAQ">FRSH</a>) are pivoting to AI-first solutions.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Investor Pressures and the AI-First Pivot</h3>
A lot of this evolution is driven by investor pressure to reinvent these companies in the age of AI. But as a <a href="https://www.gartner.com/en/newsroom/press-releases/2024-07-09-gartner-survey-finds-64-percent-of-customers-would-prefer-that-companies-didnt-use-ai-for-customer-service">Gartner report</a> recently found, 64% of customers would prefer companies not to use AI for customer service.&nbsp;
This leaves the market open for the relatively smaller players like Jitbit and Zoho to thrive. While Jitbit too recently introduced AI agents to their features list, the core offering continues to be traditional SaaS and on-desk support software solutions.
Long-term investment in the SaaS space would be driven by the core value delivered by AI, and whether end-customers would adapt to the AI-first approach that is championed by the market leaders today.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Creator Economy: Thriving or Threatened?</h2>
The creator economy is poised for big disruption due to Artificial Intelligence (AI). A lot of content production can today be automated with the help of AI.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">B2C Resilience: YouTube, Instagram, and the Power of Influence</h3>
Social media behemoths like YouTube, Instagram, and Etsy Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ETSY#NASDAQ">ETSY</a>) shall continue to thrive in the face of AI. Other emerging areas of the creator economy, like eSports and livestreaming, that are relatively less resistant to AI disruption, are also expected to thrive.&nbsp;
A <a href="https://whop.com/blog/online-earnings-report/">recent study</a> published by Whop found that eSports is expected to be a $2 billion revenue market in 2025. This continues to be one of the prime ‘side hustles' among the Gen Z generation, with entry-level professionals earning over $100 per hour.&nbsp;
While the future of the creator economy appears bright in the B2C segment, the same cannot be said for other businesses in the B2B space.&nbsp;
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">B2B Pressures: Fiverr, Upwork, and the GenAI Disruption</h3>
Two stocks worth following are Fiverr International (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FVRR#NYSE">FVRR</a>) and Upwork Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UPWK#NASDAQ">UPWK</a>), which let businesses hire freelance contractors for online projects, including SEO, content production, and programming.&nbsp;
These are services that are being actively disrupted by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/generative-ai">GenAI</a> tools like ChatGPT, Claude, and MidJourney. As these technologies get better, the creator economy marketplaces like <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/FVRR">Fiverr</a> and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/UPWK">Upwork</a> could witness challenges with respect to customer acquisition.
Fiverr is navigating this challenge with the launch of Fiverr Go, an AI model trained by its freelancers. As a market leader, Upwork is relying on its larger pool of high-ticket employers to thrive.&nbsp;
In May this year, Upwork changed its service fee from a flat 10% to a variable structure ranging between 0% and 15%. The rationale behind this move is to incentivize businesses with high-ticket projects to benefit from lower fees, while making up for it through higher fees for smaller projects.
However, increasing service charges may not be viable for the long term. Loss of income due to high service fees can be attributed to the growth of digital creator platforms that charge relatively lower fees from its creators.
Also, since platforms like this are preferred by creators with stronger social networks, this poses a risk to freelance marketplaces like Upwork that rely on strong freelancer credentials to stay relevant.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">ECommerce and AI Race</h2>
ECommerce is one of the biggest contributors to the online economy. The largest players in the eCommerce platform space include Shopify Inc. (SHOP) and BigCommerce Inc. (BIGC).
In the last 10 years, Shopify <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/insights/news/25/06/45734747/heres-how-much-you-would-have-made-owning-shopify-stock-in-the-last-10-years">has grown</a> at an average annual rate of 47.96%, cementing itself as a leader in the segment.&nbsp;
Given the near permanence of eCommerce, this industry appears to be safe from the AI onslaught. Both Shopify and BigCommerce have introduced AI-enabled features like Shopify Magic and AI Store Builder to their suite.
However, the eCommerce ecosystem could be ripe for disruption from AI. The Shopify and BigCommerce app ecosystem has enabled thousands of businesses to symbiotically thrive and grow over the years.&nbsp;
Their leadership could be disrupted by nimble AI-driven apps that ship features faster and are cheaper because of low overheads.
According to Dave Lavinsky, business strategy expert and founder of PlanPros, an AI-based business plan generator provider, a lot of these uncertainties driven by AI are unlikely to cause long-term impact on the success of these organizations. He says that businesses are actively reassessing their business plan and the future direction of the industry. 
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Digital Marketing Economy</h2>
The digital marketing industry is one of the most vulnerable to advances in AI. Alphabet Inc. (GOOG) has made major changes to the Google.com online search platform that bring Generative AI-based answers to the forefront. 
The more recently launched AI Mode on Google will allow search users to deploy AI agents to search and execute tasks on their behalf.
Big improvements are also afoot in the online advertising space, with both Google and Meta Platforms Inc. (META) introducing AI-driven features in advertising. 
These changes are likely to steadily erode the value of several digital marketing activities, including SEO and PPC. While it is difficult to assess the long-term impact of these changes, the market is volatile for businesses offering these services, including marketing software companies like Semrush Holdings Inc. (SEMR) and Similarweb Ltd. (SMWB).
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Investing Strategy Forward</h2>
As AI changes industries, the offerings will evolve as well, and markets should reach a point of equilibrium over the next couple of years. However, while this philosophy may work for ETFs and Indices targeting such sectors, the fortunes of specific stocks may still hinge on the leadership at these organizations and how they steer the ship forward.
It may be a wise move to trade based on technicals that are likely to hold over the short and mid-term timeframes. However, for people seeking a long-term investment horizon, the uncertainties and volatility of this industry make it an unappealing prospect, at least for the next 6-12 month period.

Watching Shares of Pager Duty: Amazon Web Services Announced Integration Of Duty Advance Into Their Business Suite

When you use&nbsp;<a href="https://www.investopedia.com/ask/answers/difference-between-fundamental-and-technical-analysis/">fundamental analysis</a>&nbsp;to estimate the value of a stock, you have to make a lot of projections.
How quickly will the sales grow? Will profit margins expand or contract? What will the company's capital structure look like, and&nbsp;<a href="https://www.tker.co/i/84489088/a-bunch-of-ways-higher-interest-rates-are-bad">where will interest rates go</a>? Where will tax rates be in the future?
If the projections you put into your valuation model are off, then the value you calculate will be off. Analysts call this phenomenon "<a href="https://www.tker.co/p/price-sensitive-to-earnings-multiple-assumptions">garbage in, garbage out.</a>"
To demonstrate how difficult this exercise is, let's try projecting the sales for A1 Widgets Corporation, a hypothetical company that's the worldwide leader in selling indestructible widgets. Based on A1's order book, sales for widgets will grow for exactly five years. In the fifth year, everyone in the world who will ever need a widget will have one. From there, there will be no more demand for widgets, and the widget factories will close.
What will A1's sales look like after the fifth year?
If you said $0, then you'd be wrong.
Because A1's owners and management had the foresight to quietly gain a foothold in the emerging cloud infrastructure and AI technology businesses. As a result, the company will soon see more sales and growth than ever before. Earnings will eclipse what they made selling widgets. And the stock price will explode.
No, this was not a trick question.
There are countless examples of companies expanding into or outright pivoting to businesses that no one could've foreseen.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Buying a stock is about more than investing in a company's product &#x1f914;</h2>
Having a great product to sell isn't enough to have a business that'll generate a great return for shareholders for many years to come.
You also must have stellar management with a killer instinct for allocating capital.
Not only does management have to figure out how to sell the company's core product for growth and profitability, but they also have to be able to read the tea leaves and recognize when the tides of business are turning. Maybe the market for the product is saturated. Maybe the product is becoming obsolete. Maybe customer preferences are shifting with technological developments. Maybe there are other significant opportunities to pursue, and the company has both the finances and expertise to capitalize on them.
Most companies continually make subtle adjustments that often go largely unnoticed. Some completely overhaul their business.
Take Berkshire Hathaway, which was a textile company when Warren Buffett took over it in 1965. Not long after, Berkshire became an&nbsp;<a href="https://www.nationalindemnity.com/about-us/geico.html">insurance company</a>&nbsp;that also&nbsp;<a href="https://www.sees.com/about-us/corporate">sold candy</a>. Today, it's a diversified conglomerate selling everything from energy to airplane parts to underwear. And it has a&nbsp;<a href="https://www.tker.co/p/warren-buffett-on-picking-stocks">massive stock portfolio</a>&nbsp;generating market-beating returns. (I discussed Berkshire's culture of change in a&nbsp;<a href="https://www.tker.co/i/162841568/watch">recent appearance on Yahoo Finance</a>.)
Another famous example of a company that's undergone a total transformation is Netflix. The company defined change when it introduced DVD rentals by mail while many consumers were still walking the aisles of brick-and-mortar video stores. While it dominated the mail-based rental business, management quickly shifted its efforts and aggressively invested in streaming services and original content. In 2023, Netflix&nbsp;<a href="https://about.netflix.com/en/news/netflix-dvd-the-final-season">mailed its last DVD</a>. The&nbsp;<a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/NFLX/">stock</a>&nbsp;currently trades at an all-time high, with the company valued at over $500 billion.
<figure class="wp-block-image"><a href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F61ac324b-0687-4c1c-9e08-747a5e355d80_1892x820.png" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><img decoding="async" src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F61ac324b-0687-4c1c-9e08-747a5e355d80_1892x820.png" alt="" /></a></figure>
Last week, I was on&nbsp;<a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/video/understanding-valuation-investors-often-miss-100002273.html">Yahoo Finance's "Stocks in Translation"</a>&nbsp;podcast with Jared Blikre and Sydnee Fried. (Catch it on&nbsp;<a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/video/understanding-valuation-investors-often-miss-100002273.html">Yahoo Finance</a>,&nbsp;<a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/ie/podcast/understanding-valuation-what-investors-often-miss/id1749117130?i=1000712248093">Apple Podcasts</a>,&nbsp;<a href="https://open.spotify.com/episode/1C8YlWo91KwlJA9A7PZf3k">Spotify</a>, or&nbsp;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BCr8bSl53lE">YouTube</a>!) Jared brought up Apple, which generated&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apple.com/newsroom/pdfs/fy2024-q4/FY24_Q4_Consolidated_Financial_Statements.pdf">$96 billion in sales</a>&nbsp;from services.
Here's what I said about Apple during our discussion:
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">If we were having a conversation about valuations 25 years ago when Apple was only making desktop computers, [you would ask] how many computers can they sell before you hit a ceiling? And so if you&#8217;re only thinking about investing in a company that only makes computers, then yeah, it might not make sense to pay a premium on the stock that you&#8217;re buying. But if you can be a little bit more imaginative, and if you understand that this is a company that understands change and tweaks its business model as the world changes, and as it reaches a saturation point, then you can begin to imagine a path where a company can continue grow earnings like Apple has and turn into a multi-trillion dollar company.
</blockquote>
Apple's Mac computers account for less than a tenth of the company's sales. Meanwhile, phones, a category they didn't get into until 2007, account for about half of sales. Services account for about a quarter of sales.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">It's even harder than you think &#x1fae0;</h2>
Acknowledging that your best product has matured and may be on a path to obsolescence is a tough pill to swallow. That said, once you've come to this realization, the hard part is likely just beginning.
Those leading the change will inevitably be met with resistance, not just outside the company, but also inside the company, where many employees won't be ready to let go of the old way of doing things.
Even assuming you have the full buy-in of the company, who knows if you're pivoting in the right direction? You very well could be trading one failing business for another that's doomed to go sideways.
Of course, even the most successful companies have made many bets that have gone bad. The difference between companies that can and can't move past these failures is great risk management and the confidence of shareholders.
But if you fail enough times, you'll eventually lose the faith of the shareholders.
No one ever said any of this was easy.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How investors can play this &#x1f4b8;</h2>
Every publicly traded company is doing everything it can to make sure earnings will grow, perhaps in a way that leads to market-beating returns in the company's stock price.
<a href="https://www.tker.co/p/best-performing-stocks-experience-large-max-drawdowns">But many disappoint</a>.
Unfortunately, there isn't a surefire way to identify winners&nbsp;<a href="https://www.tker.co/p/spiva-persistence-2024-past-performance-no-guarantee">consistently</a>&nbsp;enough that you can build a portfolio that&nbsp;<a href="https://www.tker.co/p/spiva-2024-active-managers-underperform-benchmark">outperforms the market</a>.
One of the reasons for this is that over time, it's a&nbsp;<a href="https://www.tker.co/p/warren-buffett-on-picking-stocks">minority of stocks with massive returns</a>&nbsp;driving the market's performance.
So, how can investors play this?
Historically, one of the best moves has been to buy broadly diversified index funds like those tracking the S&amp;P 500. While the diversification may limit your upside, it also makes it almost certain that you'll have exposure to the big winners, including the companies that successfully pivot their businesses in ways that create massive amounts of shareholder value.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A quick personal note…</h2>
The evolution of many companies isn't too dissimilar from the ups and downs many of us face in our lives.
As I recently shared with&nbsp;<a href="https://www.tker.co/p/sam-ro-on-joes-happy-hour-may-2025">Joe Fahmy on his podcast</a>, my entry to writing about markets was anything but planned and orderly. And over the span of my career, I experienced&nbsp;<a href="https://www.tker.co/p/backwards-financial-decisions">at least six major pay cuts</a>, including one big one that occurred after I got laid off.
Few of us are lucky enough to live a life where everything goes up and to the right in a smooth, straight line.
But most of us are on a non-linear path, whether by choice or because of forces outside our control.
The good news is that just because things don't go as planned doesn't mean we're doomed to spiral. Read enough biographies (and business case studies), and you'll eventually see that the most impressive people (and companies) were the ones who had to overcome many challenges by making big, unplanned changes.
Just a thought.

Caterpillar&#8217;s E&amp;T segment is expected to drive the company's next earnings upcycle, supported by long-term growth in data centers, power generation, and pipeline expansions through 2030.
E&amp;T is helping stabilize earnings during the current industrial downturn and could boost EPS as investments ramp up, the analyst explained. In addition:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Caterpillar&#8217;s 2009-2012 EPS upcycle ($2.18 to $9.35) was underpinned by Resource Industries due to a mining capex upcycle (Resource Industries ~50% of operating profit in 2012 versus 25% in 2008). </li>
<li>A big contributor to the 2020-23 EPS upcycle is Construction Industries (operating margin 25% in 2023 vs 14% in 2020).</li>
<li>On an operating profit level, E&amp;T contributes 40% compared to just 33% two years ago, as cyclical pressures (de-stocking, higher rates, capex discipline) weigh on Construction and Resources.</li>
<li>E&amp;T pricing remains positive (versus core is negative) &amp; verticals within E&amp;T (Power Gen) continue to outgrow the overall business.</li>
<li>Management is spending capex for the first time in a decade to build out large engine capacity to meet rising power gen and data center growth.</li>
</ul>
CAT is guiding $2.5 billion in 2025, a notable step up from the range over the last decade ($1.2 billion average). This is an actual inflection. Caterpillar&#8217;s management team under the prior CEO, Jim Umpleby (2017-2025), remained focused on improving returns and FCF generation, Feniger noted.
Since 2017, capex to sales and capex to depreciation has averaged 2% and 70%, respectively. The step-up in capex is well above these ranges. It continues under new CEO Joseph Creed, the analyst added.
CAT Price Action:&nbsp;Caterpillar shares are up 1.65% at $362.93 at publication on Monday.
Feniger projects 2025 revenue of $59.3 billion and earnings per share of $17.50.
