In the wake of the New Year&#8217;s Day <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/media/25/01/42756901/10-killed-dozens-hurt-in-new-orleans-terrorist-attack-truck-drives-into-bourbon-street-new-years-crowd">attack in New Orleans</a> that killed at least 15 and injured dozens, Allstate Sugar Bowl officials said the decision to postpone the game&nbsp;to Thursday at 4 p.m. ET will enable security teams to increase their coverage around the city and especially at the Caesars Superdome.
Allstate Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ALL#NYSE">ALL</a>) and security officials did not specify what the new measures entail. Wednesday&#8217;s postponement was a first in the 91-year history of the Sugar Bowl; officials said &#8220;it was the prudent move.&#8221; The organization said they made the decision &#8220;in coordination with federal, state, and local authorities as well as the two universities, Caesars Superdome and ESPN.&#8221;
"Public safety is paramount," Sugar Bowl CEO Jeff Hundley said at a media briefing alongside federal, state and local officials, including Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry and New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell. "All parties all agree that it's in the best interest of everybody and public safety that we postpone the game," <a href="https://apnews.com/article/sugar-bowl-mass-casualty-650b5773a37f0eaa2b03f4412c835674">reported</a> the Associated Press.
Walt Disney Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIS#NYSE">DIS</a>)-owned ESPN will televise the game, which was initially postponed 24 hours, but both Georgia and Notre Dame requested an earlier start time, <a href="https://www.nola.com/news/crime_police/sugar-bowl-security-bourbon-attack/article_c12b8f2e-c8dc-11ef-9cd9-e73164410f4d.html#tncms-source=featured-2">according</a> to the Times Picayune. 
The postponement meant that many fans holding tickets would not be able to attend the game. Ticket prices online plummeted in some cases to less than $25 as fans were holding them and needed to leave NOLA on Thursday, &#8220;tried to unload them,&#8221; according to the local news outlet.
Both Delta Air Lines Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DAL#NYSE">DAL</a>) and Southwest Airlines Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LUV#NYSE">LUV</a>) are waiving certain fees for travelers affected by the terror attack, allowing flexible rebooking options, <a href="https://www.fox5atlanta.com/news/attack-new-orleans-delta-air-lines-waives-fees-some-passengers-changing-flights">reported</a> Fox5.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Notre Dame Coach Speaks</h1>
"What I told the team is in the toughest moments, the culture of any program, of a nation, is revealed," Notre Dame coach Marcus Freeman <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OMmZnmWP75A">told</a> ESPN's Scott Van Pelt on Wednesday&#8217;s SportsCenter. "I have a lot of faith this country will rally around the city of New Orleans and support all the victims and families that were affected today."
Van Pelt asked how he and the team prepared for the game in their first meeting following the tragedy in NOLA. &#8220;The first part of that meeting was to mourn and pray for our country. But the end of the meeting was to redirect our focus to preparing for this game,&#8221; Freeman replied.
The Sugar Bowl has been played annually in New Orleans on New Year&#8217;s Eve or New Year&#8217;s Day since 1935.  The Superdome, of which Caesars Entertainment Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CZR#NASDAQ">CZR</a>) holds the naming rights, has been hosting the Sugar Bowl every year since it was built in 1975, with the exception of 2006 when Hurricane Katrina damaged the facility.

Tony Robbins is one of the world's most well-known motivational speakers. Throughout his multi-decade career, Robbins has built an impressive financial empire while helping people live their best lives. Now, he is set to enjoy some of the fruits of his labor. According to the New York Post and Gimme Shelter magazine, Robbins recently closed a contract to purchase a multi-million-dollar penthouse in one of Miami's most luxurious skyscrapers.
Tony's new digs will be at the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/24/12/42294846/hedge-fund-titan-ken-griffin-was-prepared-to-lose-44-on-his-record-breaking-chicago-penthouse"> Waldorf-Astoria</a> Hotel and Residences in Miami, which is still under construction and won't be move-in ready until 2028. By the time it's done, this five-star building will not only be the epitome of luxury but also America's tallest building south of Manhattan. The estimated final height of this 100-story tower will be 1,049 feet and it will dominate the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/content/42564164/miami-real-estate-mogul-patrick-carrolls-guide-to-building-a-six-figure-empire"> Miami skyline</a>.

</ul>
During an interview with Gimme Shelter magazine, listing broker Aura Aragon of PMG Residential said, "It's a very beautiful, unique building and it is changing the city's skyline." Aragon also noted that despite the building not being complete, there is strong demand from the global jet set and 90% of the units are already presold. "Prices start at $3.2 million for condos facing Miami without water views, so there is something for everyone," she continued.
The Waldorf-Astoria name stretches back over a century as one of New York City's oldest and most desirable luxury hotels. So, it only stands to reason that any hotel or residence with Waldorf-Astoria branding will be true to that original ethos. The largest and most luxurious Waldorf-Astoria Miami unit is estimated to be the nation's largest: 33,000 square feet with wine cellars, a private pool with a tiki bar and multipurpose sports courts.

Robbins' penthouse pales in comparison at "only" 7,000 square feet, but it features a private pool and 360-degree views of the Miami skyline and the Atlantic Ocean. He is happy with the purchase. Robbins told Gimme Shelter, "I believe our minds thrive in places that allow us to dream and connect with natural beauty. This new space is the perfect location to witness the ocean's tranquillity while connecting with Miami's vibrancy."&nbsp;
Although the terms of the deal were not disclosed, the New York Post and Gimme Shelter report that penthouses like Robbins' have been selling for $28 million. Robbins' Miami Waldorf-Astoria Residences unit will not be his first or last Florida real estate investment. Gimme Shelter also claims Robbins owns an estate in Manalapan, which is in Palm Beach County.

Robbins is also contracted to buy office space at the Waldorf-Astoria residences for his Robbins-Gupta Holdings business. His partner in that venture, Ajay Gupta, is also rumored to be purchasing a residence at the Waldorf in Miami. That unit is rumored to be a penthouse valued in the $28 million range, meaning Gupta and Robbins will only have a short elevator ride to work.
It's no secret that some people are cynical about the entire "self-help, life-coach guru" concept. Still, an equally large segment of the population believes in Tony Robbins enough to make him a millionaire. Whatever your opinion, you can't deny that following his life's passion has paid off richly for Tony Robbins.

Motivated Buyer-Self Help Guru Tony Robbins Closes Deal For Multi-Million Dollar Penthouse In Miami's Newest Luxury Skyscraper

Constellation Energy Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CEG#NASDAQ">CEG</a>) shares are trading higher on Thursday after the company disclosed that it secured over $1 billion in contracts from the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/01/b42767710/constellation-wins-record-setting-federal-government-clean-nuclear-energy-procurement" rel="noreferrer noopener">U.S. General Services Administration (GSA)</a>.
These contracts involve supplying power to more than 13 federal agencies and implementing energy savings and conservation initiatives at five GSA-owned facilities in the National Capital Region.
In particular, Constellation has secured a 10-year contract valued at $840 million, marking the largest agreement in GSA&#8217;s history.
Beginning in 2025, the company will provide more than 1 million megawatt hours of electricity annually, with a portion of the energy generated from plant capacity enhancements, referred to as &#8220;uprates,&#8221; funded by Constellation.
Constellation will supply energy to multiple federal agencies, including the GSA, Social Security Administration, and Department of Veterans Affairs, across Illinois, Maryland, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Ohio.
Apart from this, the company also secured a $172 million contract to enhance energy efficiency at five GSA-owned facilities in the National Capital Region through LED lighting, HVAC upgrades, and transitioning four Washington, DC, buildings from steam to electric heating.
Construction begins this month, lasting 42 months, with Constellation providing maintenance and training to ensure long-term energy efficiency and cost savings.
Joe Dominguez, Constellation President and CEO said &#8220;Under this agreement, the United States government joins Microsoft and other entities to support continued investment in reliable nuclear energy that will allow Constellation to relicense and extend the lives of these critical assets.&#8221;
&#8221;In combination with the Crane restart announced previously, Constellation and its partners will add approximately 1,100 MWs of 24/7 clean energy by 2028, enough energy to power over one million homes.&#8221;
Investors can gain exposure to the stock via&nbsp;Strive Natural Resources and Security ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FTWO#NYSE">FTWO</a>) and Strive Natural Resources and Security ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UTES#NYSE">UTES</a>).
Price Action: CEG shares are up 6.59% at $238.45 at the last check Thursday.

Constellation Energy Lands Over $1 Billion In GSA Contracts To Power Federal Agencies; Stock Gains

As the first trading month of the year kicks off, history suggests investors could be in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets">for a bullish ride. </a>
January has historically been a positive month for the S&amp;P 500, while one streaming giant has repeatedly delivered astonishing gains. 
Could this January follow suit? Let's break down the numbers.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">S&amp;P 500: A New Year's Tradition Of Gains</h1>
The S&amp;P 500 index — tracked by the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) — has a long history of positive performance in January, chalking up gains in 58 of the past 97 years and marking a solid win rate of about 60%.
According to Seasonax data, the index boasts an average return of 1.12% and a median return of 1.62% in the first month of the year.
The best January on record came in 1988, when the index skyrocketed 12.17%, while the worst January hit during the Great Recession in 2009, with a sharp loss of -11.41%. 
Despite occasional setbacks, the odds have historically tilted in favor of gains as the calendar turns to the new year.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Netflix's January Blockbuster: The Stock To Watch This Month</h1>
While the S&amp;P 500 delivers steady gains, Netflix Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>) has a tendency to steal the spotlight in January. Over the past 20 years, the streaming giant has delivered positive returns in 15 out of 20 Januaries, boasting an average return of 12.64% and a median return of 13.47%.
The trigger for this stellar performance? Its fourth-quarter earnings release, typically announced in the second half of January. Netflix's fourt-quarter numbers often set the tone for the stock, and the reaction is anything but subtle.
In January 2024, shares of Netflix surged by 10.7% following the release of its fourth-quarter earnings, continuing a pattern seen in previous years. Back in 2023, the stock jumped 8.46% after earnings, while in 2021, the post-earnings rally was even more dramatic, with Netflix soaring by a whopping 16.85%.
Netflix&#8217;s best January on record came in 2013 when the stock soared by nearly 80%. On the other hand, the company's worst January occurred in 2022, when Netflix shares plummeted by -28.5%.
For January 2025, the company will report its fourth-quarter 2024 earnings on Jan. 21.

Thousands of port workers may go on strike again as a temporary deal between the International Longshoremen's Association and United States Maritime Alliance reached in October is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/10/41187855/port-strike-ends-after-3-days-retaliers-politicians-breathe-a-sigh-of-relief">set to expire on Jan. 15.&nbsp;</a>
The Details: The current agreement was reached after a three-day port strike in October affected ports on the Gulf and East Coasts. The dockworkers had sought a 77% pay increase over the next six years and workplace protections for automation of port practices.&nbsp;
The tentative deal that was reached increased pay by 62%, but did not address the union's concerns about automation.&nbsp;

A <a href="https://www.usmx.com/assets/content/public-resources/12-20-2024_Statement_from_USMX.pdf">message</a> from the United States Marine Alliance dated Dec. 20 addressed the use of technology and automation in ports.&nbsp;
"​​Evolving port operations and increasing wages and jobs for the ILA are not mutually exclusive. Modern technology is proven to dramatically increase the amount of cargo that can be moved through a port annually. ILA members make more money when they move more cargo and ports need to hire more workers to manage that growth," the message stated.&nbsp;
Harold Daggett, president of the International Longshoreman's Association, hinted at a potential strike in a Christmas Day <a href="https://ilaunion.org/harold-j-daggett-international-president-international-longshoremens-association-2024-christmas-message-to-ila-members-and-their-families/">message to</a> union members.&nbsp;
"Our resolve may be tested again in mid-January as we face another deadline for negotiating a new Master Contract by January 15, 2025. We want to avoid another strike, and hope that our employers represented by United States Maritime Alliance will respect our demands for a fair and decent contract," Daggett wrote.&nbsp;
Why It Matters: Container shipping company ZIM Integrated Shipping Services Ltd. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ZIM#NYSE">ZIM</a>) <a href="https://www.zim.com/customer-updates/new-ila-strike-surcharge-for-cargo-moving-to-or-from-the-us-east-coastus-gulf-ports">announced an</a> ILA Strike Surcharge in mid-December for all cargo moving to or from US East Coast and US Gulf ports effective from Jan. 10 in the event of a strike. 
Zim said the charge is intended to help mitigate "additional costs and expenses to ZIM caused by a strike, work stoppage, work slowdown or other labor-related disruptions to operations" and will not apply if a strike is averted.&nbsp;
Ground shipping and freight companies like FedEx Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FDX#NYSE">FDX</a>) and United Parcel Service, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UPS#NYSE">UPS</a>) could benefit in the event of a port strike as businesses would shift toward ground and air transportation of goods.&nbsp;
Investors can also monitor the effects of a potential port strike through the SonicShares Global Shipping ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BOAT#NYSE">BOAT</a>) which tracks the Solactive Global Shipping Index consisting of global shipping companies engaged in maritime transportation of goods and raw materials.&nbsp;
