Allied Gold has reached a preliminary agreement with Mali for a 10-year permit on the Sadiola gold mine and permission to exploit the nearby Diba deposit. The country&#39;s recent overhaul of mining laws aims for higher state revenues. Allied&#39;s plans to expand the mine could make it a top-tier, low-cost producer, but ongoing conflicts and geopolitical risks make it a riskier investment.

President Donald Trump confronted Bank of America Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAC#NYSE">BAC</a>) CEO Brian Moynihan and JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>) CEO Jamie Dimon on Thursday at the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/world-economic-forum" target="_blank" rel="noopener">World Economic Forum</a>, alleging discrimination against conservative clients.
Trump, addressing the audience via video conference, accused the financial giants of excluding conservative businesses, an allegation that the banks have denied, Fox Business <a href="https://www.foxbusiness.com/politics/trump-confronts-bank-america-ceo-not-taking-conservative-business">reports</a>.
What Happened: Trump directly confronted Moynihan, claiming that conservatives face banking discrimination. &#8220;I hope you start opening your bank to conservatives,&#8221; Trump said, alleging that certain financial institutions, including Bank of America, have refused to provide services to right-leaning clients. 
Trump suggested regulatory pressure from the Biden administration could influence such decisions and urged financial leaders to reconsider their policies. 
Moynihan did not respond to Trump&#8217;s remarks on the matter but instead shifted the discussion toward Bank of America&#8217;s sponsorship of the upcoming World Cup in the U.S. A spokesperson for the bank later refuted claims of political bias, saying, &#8220;We serve more than 70 million clients and we welcome conservatives.&#8221; 
The bank insisted account closures are based solely on regulatory compliance, not political affiliations.

The president also called out Dimon, urging him to ensure fair access to banking services for conservative clients. A JPMorgan Chase spokesperson emphasized their stance, saying, &#8220;We never close accounts for political reasons, full stop.&#8221;
Why It Matters: Trump&#8217;s comments add to ongoing scrutiny over financial institutions allegedly engaging in &#8220;de-banking&#8221; practices. The issue has drawn attention from policymakers, with attorneys general from 15 states previously condemning what they describe as discriminatory banking policies, Fox Business reports.
In a broader context, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/01/43170854/trump-outlines-economic-reset-at-davos-5-things-you-need-to-know">Trump&#8217;s remarks at Davos</a> underscored his focus on overhauling economic policies, with an emphasis on deregulation, tax cuts for businesses, and expanding domestic energy production. He positioned these measures as key drivers to encourage investment and strengthen U.S. manufacturing.

This includes a $0.3 billion loss associated with pension plans in the United States, a $0.9 billion gain associated with pension plans outside the United States, and a $0.1 billion gain associated with OPEB plans globally.
&nbsp;The remeasurement gain was largely driven by higher discount rates compared to year-end 2023, partially offset by asset returns lower than our assumptions.&nbsp;
On an after-tax basis, the remeasurement is expected to increase our net income by about $0.4 billion as we expect to recognize a net tax expense based on the tax rates in the jurisdictions where there are remeasurement gains and losses.&nbsp;
Because the remeasurement is a special item, it will not impact total Company adjusted EBIT or adjusted earnings per share. The remeasurement did not have an impact on cash in 2024 and does not change expectations for pension contributions in 2025. In aggregate, funded plans remain fully funded.
Including the impact of remeasurement gains and losses during 2024, Ford expect the underfunded status for pension and OPEB plans to be about $0.5 billion and $4.4 billion, respectively, at year-end 2024, compared with $2.3&nbsp;billion and $4.7 billion, respectively, at year-end 2023.

Ford Expect To Record Pre-tax Remeasurement Gain In Q4 Results Of Approximately $0.7B Related To Pension And OPEB Plans;  No Impact On Adjusted EBIT Or EPS - Filing

Discovery Financial Services (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DFS#NYSE">DFS</a>) comfortably beat market expectations in its fourth quarter earnings report.
What Happened: The digital banking and payment services provider achieved a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/01/43148923/discover-delivers-q4-earnings-beat-revenue-beat-the-details">41% growth in net income </a>year over year.
"Despite a modest slowdown in US card sales, overall network volume increased driven by growth in our Pulse business, demonstrating the strength of our payments network," the interim CEO Michael Shepherd <a href="https://investorrelations.discover.com/newsroom/press-releases/default.aspx">said</a> in the earnings call.
Among the streamlining efforts, Shepherd highlighted:
<ul>
<li>$4.5 billion in income stemmed from loan growth, deposit expansion, and an improved net interest margin. </li>
<li>Total loans increased by 3% despite the sale of the student loan portfolio.</li>
<li>Personal loans grew 5% year over year.</li>
</ul>
The results underscore a strong consumer demand for credit, backed by a stable labor market and wage growth outpacing inflation. However, CFO John Greene noted a 3% contraction in Discover card sales, which he attributes to credit-tightening actions going as far as 2022.

Why It Matters: Despite this modest slowdown in card sales, the broader trends suggest stability and potential recovery. Payment rates, though slightly down sequentially, remain about 90 basis points above pre-pandemic levels, showing that consumers are still effectively managing their financial obligations.
In a note, Keefe, Bruyette &amp; Woods analysts pointed to the net-interest-margin-driven pre-provision net revenue and highlighted credit quality. They maintained the $232 price target, deriving it from applying the 16x multiple to the 2026 EPS estimate of $14.5. This price target is approximately 15% above today's closing price of $201.20
Last month, Capital One (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COF#NYSE">COF</a>) announced the approval of the Office of the Delaware State Bank Commissioner regarding the DFS acquisition. Pending satisfaction of the remaining closing conditions, the all-stock transaction is expected to close early in 2025.
Although the proposed merger drew criticism, particularly from Sen. Elizabeth Waren (D-MA) and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Shepherd remains undeterred that creating the largest domestic credit card operator is the best course of action.
"We continue to firmly believe that merger will advance our company&#8217;s shared mission to help our customers meet their financial goals, support the communities in which we operate, and create value for our shareholders," he noted.

With plenty of attention shifting to the 2025 content lineup, investors are also questioning if Netflix will split shares once again.
What Happened: Netflix <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/01/43114866/netflix-q4-earnings-record-subscribers-nfl-squid-game-push-past-highest-expectations">announced it added </a>18.91 million net new paid subscribers in the fourth quarter, its best quarterly member gain ever.
The company will no longer share key metrics, including membership gains and total members going forward, which could put more pressure on the company's revenue and earnings per share figures to keep investors happy.
Another way to keep investors happy in 2025 could be a stock split. While a stock split wouldn't change the value of the company, the move could make shares more attractive to retail investors looking to accumulate whole shares and not fractional shares and to options traders.
Benzinga reached out to Netflix for comment on a potential stock split and did not hear back.
Netflix went public in May 2002 at <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/04/38340753/if-you-invested-1-000-in-netflix-stock-at-its-ipo-heres-how-much-youd-have-today">$15 per share.</a> The company has split shares two times in its history, a 2-for-1 split in February 2004 and a seven-for-one split in July 2015.

Why It's Important: Netflix's first stock split came in 2004 when the company was still renting DVDs through the mail to customers and competing with physical DVD rental chains like Blockbuster, which later went bankrupt in 2010.
That stock split happened when shares were trading at around $72.
The 2015 stock split came years after the company entered the streaming sector and had launched several of its own original series, including "Lillyhammer," and "House of Cards."
This stock split came when shares traded at around $700.
As shares soared over $700 in late 2024, investors began asking if another stock split could happen.
The company highlighted its strong fourth-quarter membership adds and its 2025 content slate that includes new seasons of "Squid Game," "Stranger Things" and "Wednesday."
Without reporting some of the normal membership metrics, investors could grow impatient and be looking for new catalysts from the company. A stock split could act as another catalyst for investors.
Netflix stock opened for trading at a split-adjusted $111.02 on July 16, 2015, after the seven-for-one split. A $1,000 investment at the time could have bought 9.01 Netflix shares. Today, that $1,000 investment would be worth $8,834.49, up 783.4%.
While the same returns aren't guaranteed if Netflix splits their stock, investors will be closely watching.
