Bitcoin Cash (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/bch/usd">BCH</a>), a cryptocurrency stemming from a 2017 Bitcoin fork, traded lower by 2.9% to $483.68 during Tuesday&#8217;s session as Bitcoin's price slipped from its recent highs, dampening bullish sentiment across the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/42183963/microstrategy-coinbase-and-other-bitcoin-linked-stocks-tumble-as-btcs-march-to-100000-stalls">crypto market</a>.

Why Bitcoin Cash Is Falling Tuesday

Berry Global Group, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BERY#NYSE">BERY</a>) shares are trading lower on Tuesday. On Monday, the company disclosed an agreement to sell its Specialty Tapes business to Nautic Partners, LLC, for around $540 million, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/11/b42179476/berry-global-announces-agreement-to-sell-specialty-tapes-business-to-nautic-partners" rel="noreferrer noopener">subject to closing adjustments</a>.
The divestment aligns with its strategy of focusing on higher-growth, consumer-oriented markets. The company plans to use proceeds from the sale to reduce debt.
The sale is expected to close in the first half of 2025, subject to customary closing conditions.
Including the cash received from its recent HHNF spin-off and the Tapes sale, Berry's pro forma net debt as of September 30, 2024, is expected to be approximately $5.9 billion, representing a 3.5x LTM net leverage ratio.
Berry CEO, Kevin Kwilinski, said, &#8220;Over the past year, Berry has undergone a significant transformation, completing the spin-off of our HHNF business, enhancing our product mix and optimizing our portfolio. The sale of Tapes further supports these efforts and the continued focus on our high-growth consumer portfolio.&#8221;
This month, Berry Global agreed to merge&nbsp;with Amcor plc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMCR#NYSE">AMCR</a>) in an all-stock transaction, with the deal valuing Berry&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/large-cap/24/11/42069248/amcor-and-berry-seal-the-deal-73-59-per-share-merger-to-forge-packaging-powerhouse" rel="noreferrer noopener">stock at $73.59 per share</a>.
The companies anticipate a $650 million benefit from synergies by the end of year three, including $530 million in annual pre-tax cost savings, $60 million in financial savings, and $60 million from growth synergies.
Berry Global&nbsp;noted the sale of the Tapes business further reinforces the strategic rationale for the combination and has no material impact on the financial profile of the combined entity.
Price Action: BERY shares are down 1.47% at $70.50 at the last check Tuesday.

<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/dmt">DMT</a>, or dimethyltryptamine, has intrigued researchers and psychedelic enthusiasts for its profound effects on consciousness. Known for inducing otherworldly visions, from &#8220;machine elves&#8221; to mystical figures, some scientists now propose that DMT may play a key role in extraordinary experiences like vivid dreams, near-death encounters and spiritual awakenings. 
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">DMT: A Naturally Occurring Substance In Humans</h3>
DMT is a naturally occurring compound found in plants, animals and humans. First identified in humans in the 1950s, it gained attention in the 1990s through <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/20/12/18522764/more-real-than-real-a-psychiatrist-discusses-dmt">Rick Strassman</a>'s research, where he coined the term ‘the spirit molecule' in <a href="https://psychiatryonline.org/doi/10.1176/appi.ajp.159.8.1448">his 2000 book</a>. Strassman proposed that DMT could induce spiritual experiences and might be produced by the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Pineal_gland.png">pineal gland</a>. While found in the pineal gland of rats, in humans, DMT is only detectable in urine, blood and cerebrospinal fluid, making it difficult to study.
Strassman's theory, as Double Blind <a href="https://doubleblindmag.com/our-brains-make-dmt/">reports</a>, proposed that DMT could be responsible for the vivid visions and transcendental experiences often associated with both near-death encounters and extreme psychological states. &#8220;When Strassman called DMT ‘the spirit molecule,' he meant it rather literally: Its function in the brain, he argued, is simply to elicit psychological states that we call spiritual,&#8221; <a href="https://www.vox.com/the-highlight/379914/dmt-psychedelics-drug-neuroscience-consciousness-ayahuasca">wrote</a> journalist Oshan Jarow in Vox.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">DMT And Near-Death Experiences</h3>
One of the most compelling aspects of DMT research is its potential connection to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/08/40528986/psychedelic-trips-resemble-near-death-experiences-new-study-shows-what-does-it-mean">near-death experiences</a>. A 2019 study found that DMT levels spike in rat brains during cardiac arrest, suggesting it may play a role in the vivid, transformative experiences reported during near-death encounters. This has led some researchers to speculate that DMT's release during extreme stress could trigger the mystical visions often experienced in such situations.
Dr. Ede Frecska, a researcher from the University of Debrecen in Hungary, proposed that DMT could be released in response to the brain's need to preserve itself during near-death situations. "Extrapolating from this finding, one might be tempted to hypothesize that this sudden flood of DMT may provoke the mystical encounters on the border between life and death," Frecska wrote in his work with Strassman.
While this hypothesis remains speculative, it is part of a broader effort to understand how DMT could influence human consciousness during moments of extreme distress or transition.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">DMT And Dream States</h3>
In addition to its connection with near-death experiences, DMT's potential role in dreams has also intrigued researchers. Some believe it could explain the vivid, spiritual quality of dreams. A 2018 <a href="https://cosmosandhistory.org/index.php/journal/article/view/734/1200">study</a> published in The Journal of Natural and Social Philosophy suggests DMT may be released during sleep, making dreams feel more real. Its small molecular structure allows it to cross the blood-brain barrier, altering perception and possibly contributing to closed-eye visions or hallucinations in darkness or sensory deprivation.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">The Elusive Nature Of DMT Research</h3>
Despite the growing interest in DMT, much about the molecule remains a mystery. While researchers have identified the necessary enzymes for DMT synthesis in the brain, its exact role in human consciousness is still unclear. As neuroscientist Jimo Borjigin from the University of Michigan noted, "We know nothing—seriously!—about the role of endogenous DMT." The challenges of studying DMT, particularly because it is quickly metabolized in the body, have made it difficult to draw definitive conclusions.
While early research raised concerns about a potential link between elevated DMT levels and psychiatric conditions like schizophrenia, studies have since debunked this theory. "If you've got really high levels of psychedelics that your body is making, maybe that's conferring hallucinations and delusions," <a href="https://lettersandsciencemag.ucdavis.edu/feature/exploring-psychedelics-within-us">said</a> Cassandra Hatzipantelis, a postdoctoral fellow at the UC Davis Institute for Psychedelics and Neurotherapeutics. "But they found no correlation between schizophrenia patients and endogenous psychedelic levels, and it was all thrown out."
As research continues, scientists are beginning to uncover the potential roles of DMT in human consciousness. Whether it's playing a part in near-death experiences, enhancing the quality of dreams, or facilitating profound spiritual experiences, DMT's influence on the brain is a subject of growing interest.

Urban Outfitters, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/URBN#NASDAQ">URBN</a>) is set to release its third-quarter earnings during Tuesday&#8217;s after-hours session following a strong second quarter performance marked by record sales and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/08/40511659/these-analysts-slash-their-forecasts-on-urban-outfitters-following-q2-results">earnings</a> that surpassed expectations. 
What To Know: In the second quarter, the company reported earnings of $1.24 per share, beating the consensus estimate of $1.01 by 22.77%, and achieved record quarterly sales of $1.35 billion, up 6.13% year-over-year.
Growth in the second quarter was driven by a 3.1% increase in total Retail segment net sales, with comparable sales rising 2% as both digital and retail store sales posted low single-digit gains. Free People and Anthropologie were standouts, with comparable sales growth of 7.1% and 6.7%, respectively, offsetting a 9.3% decline in the Urban Outfitters brand.

The Nuuly rental business surged, with segment sales up 62.6%, propelled by a 55% increase in active subscribers. Wholesale sales also grew 15.1%, led by Free People's 17.5% increase in department and specialty store partnerships.
For the third quarter, investors may focus on whether Urban Outfitters can sustain its momentum, particularly in the outperforming Free People and Anthropologie brands, and continue scaling Nuuly's success.
Challenges in the Urban Outfitters brand and any potential macroeconomic headwinds affecting consumer spending will also be key considerations. Third quarter results will be pivotal as the company seeks to maintain its upward trajectory and profitability across all segments.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Is URBN A Good Stock To Buy?</h2>
An investor can make a few decisions when deciding whether a stock is a good buy. In addition to valuation metrics and price action which you can find on Benzinga's quote pages &#8211; like <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/URBN">Urban Outfitters</a>&#8216;s page for example &#8211; there are factors like whether or not a company pays a dividend or buys a large portion of its stock each quarter.
These are known as capital allocation programs. Urban Outfitters does not pay a dividend, but obviously has a few ways it can return value to shareholders. Feel free to search Benzinga's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/dividends">dividend calendar</a> for the next company that is due to pay a dividend and determine what kind of yield you can earn for holding a share of the company.
For example, if you're looking to earn an annualized return of 8.66%, you'll need to buy a share of Manhattan Bridge Capital by the Dec. 31, 2024. Once done, you can expect to receive a nominal payout of $0.12 on Jan. 15, 2025.
Buyback programs are obviously different and highly variable. A company can approve a buyback program and purchase shares as it sees fit over the course of time in which the buyback was authorized. Looking through the latest news on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/URBN">Urban Outfitters</a> will often yield whether or not the company has approved a buyback program recently. Buyback programs usually serve as a support for share prices, serving as a backstop for demand.
According to data from&nbsp;<a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro</a>, URBN has a 52-week high of $48.89 and a 52-week low of $32.02.

Thanksgiving 2024 is shaping up to bring warm gatherings, hearty meals and some relief for household budgets. The cost of a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/11/41850076/warren-buffett-jokes-hed-be-eating-thanksgiving-dinner-at-mcdonalds-if-it-wasnt-for-uncle-sam-stepping-up">traditional Thanksgiving meal</a> for 10 is projected to be $58.08 this year, according to the American Farm Bureau Federation (AFBF). That's a 5% decrease from 2023 and a 9% drop from the record highs of 2022.&nbsp;
The main driver behind this welcome reduction? Declining turkey prices.

</ul>
Turkey prices have decreased notably this year, with some retailers reporting prices down 20% compared to recent years. For example, butterball turkeys are $1.99 per pound, down from $2.69 per pound in 2023. Major retailers like <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/earnings-beats/24/11/42106249/target-says-shoppers-wait-for-deals-a-day-after-rival-walmart-credits-market-gains-to-wealthy-households-tgt-edges-up-marginally-in-thursday-premarket">Walmart and Target</a> are offering similar discounts.&nbsp;
Over the last couple of years, outbreaks of bird flu disrupted turkey production and drove up prices. In 2024, the disease has had a smaller impact, leading to increased availability of turkeys and lower prices for consumers.&nbsp;
Despite the supply rebound, U.S. turkey production is still down by about 6% from 2023, the lowest level since 1985, according to AFBF. However, decreased consumer demand for turkey has balanced out this drop in production, helping keep prices low.&nbsp;
See Also: The average American couple has saved this much money for retirement —<a href="http://www.benzinga.com/money/smartasset"> How do you compare</a>?
The AFBF's calculation of the $58.08 meal includes classic Thanksgiving staples like turkey, dinner rolls, stuffing, frozen peas, sweet potatoes, fresh cranberries, celery, carrots, pumpkin pie mix with crusts, whipping cream and whole milk. Turkey accounts for 44% of the total meal cost, so reduced prices for this single item significantly impact the overall cost of the meal.&nbsp;
Adding items like ham, russet potatoes and frozen green beans raises the total meal cost to $77.34 for those who like more variety. Even with the expanded menu, this is still 8% cheaper than last year.&nbsp;
Even though turkey prices are declining, not all holiday staples follow the trend. Processed foods like dinner rolls and cubed stuffing have increased by over 8% compared to last year, primarily due to rising labor and supply chain costs. Cranberry sauce has also seen a price jump, with some cans now costing $1.99 compared to $1.49 in 2023.

To further reduce their Thanksgiving grocery expenditures, shoppers can opt for store-brand products, which can save an average of $17 compared to name-brand items, according to a Wells Fargo analysis. However, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/11/42101690/amazon-remains-best-idea-in-e-commerce-this-holiday-season-jpmorgan-analyst-says">price-conscious consumers</a> should still compare labels, as some name-brand products, like cranberries, may be cheaper than their store-brand counterparts this year.
Even with this year's price drop, Thanksgiving meals are still 19% more expensive than in 2019. Food inflation, driven by the pandemic, supply chain disruptions and global events like Russia's invasion of Ukraine, continues to influence prices across the board.
Still, the overall decline in food inflation is a positive development for households. For the 44% of Americans concerned about the cost of hosting <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/11/42123085/wicked-gladiator-ii-moana-2-could-break-thanksgiving-weekend-box-office-stocks-to-watch">Thanksgiving</a>, the 2024 price trends provide some financial breathing room for the holiday season.
