Check Out What Whales Are Doing With GME

Mullen Automotive, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MULN#NASDAQ">MULN</a>) shares are trading higher after the company announced a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/12/g42554145/mullen-announces-100-class-1-and-class-3-ev-shipments-with-sales-totaling-5-5m-through-dec-18-whil" rel="noreferrer noopener">commercial vehicle sales update.</a>
Since September 30, Mullen said it has sold 100 Class 1 and Class 3 electric cargo vans and trucks, generating $5.5 million in total sales. This marks a significant milestone in the company's growing momentum in the commercial EV sector.
The vehicles sold include 57 Class 3 and 43 Class 1 EV cargo vans and trucks. However, these numbers exclude Bollinger Motors&#8217; sales and expenses.
The company has also made significant strides in reducing its monthly burn rate. In August 2024, Mullen's burn rate was $16.8 million. By September, this had decreased to $11.8 million, and further reduced to $5.3 million for October and November 2024.
The demand for sustainable transportation solutions is driving strong sales across multiple industries, with Mullen in ongoing discussions with government agencies, universities, and large fleets to expand EV adoption across the U.S.

Mullen&#8217;s commercial EV lineup includes the Mullen ONE, a Class 1 EV cargo van, and the Mullen THREE, a Class 3 EV cab chassis truck, both of which meet the requirements of U.S. Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards and environmental regulations.
The Mullen THREE qualifies for significant incentives, including a $15,000 rebate through the Massachusetts MOR-EV program and a $45,000 voucher from California's HVIP program.
As Mullen expands its footprint both domestically and internationally, its focus remains on building traction for both Mullen and Bollinger Motors, the company said.
Price Action: MULN shares are trading higher by 3.70% to $1.276 at last check Wednesday.

<h3>About Alphabet</h3>
Alphabet is a holding company that wholly owns internet giant Google. The California-based company derives slightly less than 90% of its revenue from Google services, the vast majority of which is advertising sales. Alongside online ads, Google services houses sales stemming from Google's subscription services (YouTube TV, YouTube Music among others), platforms (sales and in-app purchases on Play Store), and devices (Chromebooks, Pixel smartphones, and smart home products such as Chromecast). Google's cloud computing platform, or GCP, accounts for roughly 10% of Alphabet's revenue with the firm's investments in up-and-coming technologies such as self-driving cars (Waymo), health (Verily), and internet access (Google Fiber) making up the rest.

What the Options Market Tells Us About Alphabet

America&#8217;s housing market is approaching 2025 with mounting inventory and modest growth expectations. According to new data from Housing Wire, unsold single-family homes reached 690,000 nationwide – a 26% increase from last year but still 17% below pre-pandemic levels.
Weekly pending home sales hover around 51,000, showing about a 10% improvement over December 2023. The median price for single-family homes is $384,900, reflecting a 5% annual increase despite higher interest rates and growing inventory.

Postelection market activity <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/24/12/42292743/pent-up-mortgage-demand-jumps-52-year-over-year-amid-fed-rate-cuts">suggests some buyers are emerging from the sidelines</a>, though experts anticipate steady rather than explosive growth. New listings have increased 8%-10% weekly compared to last year, with similar growth expected through 2025.
Price reductions affect 38.4% of listed homes, indicating persistent affordability challenges. However, the rate of price cuts has stabilized in recent months, suggesting market equilibrium rather than a widespread correction. The market&#8217;s current stability runs counter to initial 2024 predictions of a severe downturn. Weekly mortgage application data shows unexpected strength, while national pending sales volumes demonstrate resilience despite elevated rates. The shift from frenzied pandemic-era buying to today&#8217;s measured pace indicates a maturing market cycle.

&#8220;After the new year, fresh new inventory gets listed, so the percent of homes with price cuts falls,&#8221; Housing Wire reports, noting the seasonal pattern remains consistent even amid broader market changes. That predictability may offer some comfort to both buyers and sellers.
Regional variations tell different stories, though. Northern cities maintain tight inventory and rising prices, while Sunbelt markets face their highest inventory levels in years. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/24/10/41356829/home-listings-explode-in-florida-georgia-tennessee-200-higher-than-pandemic-low-says-reventure-ceo">Florida and Texas particularly see increased listings</a> driven by rising insurance costs, property taxes, and climate risk concerns.
Trending: It&#8217;s no wonder Jeff Bezos holds over $70 million in art — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/masterworks-y2">this alternative asset has outpaced the S&amp;P 500 since 1995, delivering an average annual return of 11.4%. Here&#8217;s how everyday investors are getting started.</a>
The current market represents a shift from the pandemic boom that peaked in early 2022. While inventory growth primarily stems from weaker demand rather than distressed selling, the slight increase in weekly new listings points toward healthier market conditions.
Housing Wire&#8217;s analysis suggests next year's home prices will appreciate more modestly than 2024&#8217;s 5% gain, projecting 3.5% growth. The forecast reflects a market transitioning from post-pandemic recovery to more traditional patterns, though still constrained by historically low inventory compared to 2019&#8217;s 850,000 available homes.
The gradual inventory rebuild departs from the previous decade&#8217;s pattern of declining available homes when persistently low interest rates encouraged property hoarding. Today&#8217;s market dynamics suggest a slow return to balance rather than dramatic shifts in either direction.
