Top 2 Industrials Stocks That May Crash This Month

Legendary Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) co-founder Steve Jobs is credited for his visionary leadership and for revolutionizing entire product categories, ranging from smartphones to tablets and music.
Jobs knew what a MacBook should look like in 1983. While it took the company 25 years to realize Jobs&#8217; vision, Apple stock is now soaring to record highs.
Optimistic Analysts: Analysts at JPMorgan are upbeat about Cupertino's prospects, giving the Apple stock an overweight rating and a price target of $265, implying an upside of over 2%.
"We see upside in several aspects of the business as well as financials that remain underappreciated by investors, namely the transformation of the company to Services, growth in the installed base, technology leadership, and optionality around capital deployment," said JPMorgan analyst Samik Chatterjee <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/12/26/apple-soars-to-a-record-where-jpmorgan-thinks-its-headed-in-2025.html">to</a> CNBC.

Over the past month, Apple stock has gained over 10%, while year-to-date, it is up by over 39%, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro data</a>.
What Jobs Said In 1983: Jobs, well known for not just his leadership but also some great speeches, outlined his vision for a notebook.
"Apple strategy is really simple. What we want to do is we want to put an incredibly great computer in a book that you can carry around with you that you can learn how to use in 20 minutes."
"We don't know how to do that. It's impossible technically. So we had three options. One was to do nothing. The second one was to put a piece of garbage computer in a book. And we can do that, but our competitors are doing that, so we don't need to do that," said Jobs.
"The third option was to design the computer that we want to put into the book eventually, even though we can't put into the book now. And right now it fits into a bread box and it's $10,000 and it's called Lisa."
While Lisa was Jobs' dreamchild, MacBook is what he was ultimately aiming for.
"The next thing we will do is we will find a way put it in a shoebox and sell it for like $2,500 and that will be the next step. And finally we'll find a way to get it in a book and sell it for under $1,000."
Bullish Analysts: The overall analyst sentiment is bullish on the AAPL stock – <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/AAPL/analyst-ratings">Benzinga Pro data</a> shows 30 analysts have a consensus buy rating.
Based on the average price target of $286 between Wedbush, Morgan Stanley, and Needham, there&#8217;s an implied 10.51% upside for AAPL stock.

Steve Jobs Knew What MacBook Should Be Like In 1983 — It Took Apple 25 Years To Bring His Vision To Life: With AAPL Stock At Record Highs, Here's What Analysts Say

Cathie Wood, a well-known U.S. technology investor, is calling for clear tax policies from&nbsp;Donald Trump&#8216;s incoming administration.
What Happened: Wood proposes that tax cuts be retroactively applied from Jan. 1, to boost economic growth and provide policy certainty, Reuters reported on Friday.
&#8220;I see them saying, okay, we&#8217;re going to cut taxes but we will make them retroactive to Jan. 1, 2025. That would be very helpful, I think, in terms of providing certainty for the markets,&#8221; Wood said.
&#8220;If they don&#8217;t, you&#8217;re going to get companies and individuals perhaps holding back. &#8230; I&#8217;m trying to communicate that pretty regularly to anyone who will listen.&#8221;
Wood&#8217;s primary fund, ARK Innovation ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKK#NYSE">ARKK</a>), has experienced a 17% increase following Trump&#8217;s electoral win, which is expected to bring about advantageous policy shifts. Stocks such as Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) and Coinbase Global Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COIN#NASDAQ">COIN</a>), which are in Wood&#8217;s flagship fund, have already seen notable gains since Nov. 6.
Wood has voiced her support for Trump&#8217;s economic strategies, which include fostering innovation in cryptocurrency and artificial intelligence, streamlining regulations, and reducing government expenses. She stresses the importance of retroactive tax cuts to ensure market stability, cautioning that without them, businesses and individuals may be reluctant to invest.

While Wood typically opposes tariffs, she perceives Trump&#8217;s tariff threats as a strategic negotiation tool. Analysts predict that tax reform will be a focal point for the new Republican-majority Congress, with Trump expected to implement key policies through executive orders after his January 20 inauguration.
Wood, who&nbsp;did not financially back Trump&nbsp;in the 2024 election, maintains communication with&nbsp;Elon Musk&nbsp;and&nbsp;Sen. Cynthia Lummis (R &#8211; Wyo.) both of whom are influential in shaping Trump&#8217;s policies. Despite some market fluctuations, Wood remains hopeful about the ongoing influence of the &#8216;Trump bump&#8217; on innovation-driven industries.
Why It Matters: Wood&nbsp;has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/12/42262916/ark-invests-cathie-wood-says-stock-market-will-broaden-out-under-trump-but-growth-wont-be-linear-nothing-goes-up-in-a-straight-line">previously expressed optimism </a>about the stock market&#8217;s potential under Trump&#8217;s leadership. In early December, she shared her belief that the market was beginning to anticipate a shift, noting a broadening out from a concentration on a few stocks. 
This aligns with Trump&#8217;s own positive <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/12/42466189/trump-talks-stocks-bitcoin-ai-economy-with-jim-cramer-youre-going-to-see-some-very-good-days-ahead">outlook on the economy</a>, as he mentioned during a conversation with CNBC&#8217;s Jim Cramer, predicting &#8220;very good days ahead&#8221; for stocks, Bitcoin, and AI.

&#8220;As we conclude the year 2024 on a remarkable note in the crypto space, we are pleased to see that this year has been transformative for the industry as a whole,&#8221; said Vishal Sacheendran, Head of Regional Markets at Binance.

Europe And Asia Markets Gain; Dollar Set For 7% Annual Gain - Global Markets Today While Us Slept

Shares of&nbsp;GameStop Corp&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GME#NYSE">GME</a>) saw a decline of 2.09% during pre-market hours following an initial surge driven by social media activity as per <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro.</a>
The stock&#8217;s initial rise was triggered by a post from&nbsp;Keith Gill, also known as &#8220;Roaring Kitty,&#8221; who shared a mysterious image on X, formerly known as Twitter. This post, made on Dec. 25, featured a wrapped ‘Christmas Present' and sparked speculation among retail investors, leading to a 7.68% increase&nbsp;in after-hours trading on Robinhood,&nbsp;with shares reaching a peak of $33.50. However, the stock later declined as investors took profits.
Meme stocks like GameStop often gain momentum&nbsp;through viral popularity and speculative&nbsp;trading, which are heavily influenced by social media and active retail communities. While these stocks can offer significant gains, they are also known for their high volatility and the risk of substantial losses.

Despite the recent surge in activity, GameStop&#8217;s stock holds&nbsp;a consensus price target of&nbsp;$10 from analysts, with&nbsp;Wedbush&nbsp;maintaining this target since Sep. 11. The&nbsp;average price target of $9.33&nbsp;suggests a potential downside of 71.10% from current levels, according to the latest analyst ratings.
The recent social media-driven surge in GameStop shares is reminiscent of the 2021 meme stock phenomenon, where retail investors, fueled by platforms like Reddit, drove up the prices of certain stocks, including GameStop. 
Meme stocks gain their fame through viral popularity and speculative trading, fueled primarily by social media buzz and active retail investor communities. While they can deliver quick, substantial gains, they also carry extreme volatility and the potential for heavy losses.

GameStop Shares Dip In Friday's Premarket After Surging Nearly 6% In Last Session, Fueled By Roaring Kitty's 'Christmas Present'

Planemaker Boeing Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) is reportedly witnessing an increased number of its engineers leaving for space companies. 
What Happened: The average tenure of a Boeing engineer has dropped to 12.6 years from 16.4 years over the last decade, the Financial Times <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/5dea45ef-25c7-4b5c-ad8a-9984ec66bf53">reported</a>, citing data from the Society of Professional Engineering Employees in Aerospace, a union representing 12,000 Boeing engineers. As per union data, the tenure is shortening in every age bracket.
The departure of engineering talent could make it harder for the company to launch a new plane, the report noted, while adding that the struggling plane maker is serving as a good place for space companies like SpaceX and Blue Origin to poach talent from.
While rival space companies continue to aim big and develop new vehicles, Boeing is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/24/12/42377203/boeing-chief-lobbyist-ziad-ojakli-leaves-troubled-planemaker-report">yet to announce a new plane</a>, FT noted. 
"Boeing is an airplane company and at the right time in the future, we need to develop a new airplane. But we have a lot of work to do before then," Ortberg said during the company&#8217;s third-quarter earnings call.
Boeing did not immediately respond to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga&#8217;s</a> request for comment.
Why It Matters: Boeing has been struggling since the start of the year when a door panel flew off an Alaska Airlines jet manufactured by the company. 
Later in the year, technical issues were identified with the Starliner spacecraft manufactured by the company, causing space agency NASA to opt out of bringing back the two astronauts who flew on Starliner to the International Space Station on the same spacecraft. The astronauts are now slated to return to Earth on a SpaceX Dragon spacecraft no earlier than March. 
Boeing CEO Kelly Ortberg said in October that Boeing would downsize its workforce by 10%. The layoff is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/10/41301576/boeing-announces-10-workforce-reduction-amidst-ongoing-struggles-impacting-nearly-17k-employees">expected to impact nearly 17,000 jobs</a>. Ortberg then said that the layoffs are necessary to align with Boeing's financial reality and future recovery plans.
Price Action: Boeing shares closed up 0.6% at $180.38 on Thursday. The stock is down 28.4% year-to-date, according to data from Benzinga Pro. 
Boeing has a consensus price target of $197.85 based on the ratings of 23 analysts tracked by Benzinga. The analysts have a consensus &#8220;buy&#8221; rating on the stock.
