Nominate A Cannabis Leader For The 2024 'Bob Fireman Award' At The Benzinga Cannabis Capital Conference

Allegiant Travel Company (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ALGT#NASDAQ">ALGT</a>) shares took a nosedive on Thursday after company filings revealed that the company is suspending its dividend. The airline industry has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/airline-industry">struggled in 2024</a> with rising costs and margin contraction.
What Happened: Allegiant revealed the dividend suspension in an 8-K filing on Thursday — the same day the company <a href="https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/allegiant-announces-president-greg-anderson-as-next-ceo-302200245.html">announced</a> that Gregory C. Anderson will be the next CEO as of Sept. 1. 
Anderson will succeed Maurice J. Gallagher, who will be retiring.
&#8220;In anticipation of capital requirements related to fleet investments, the Company is suspending its quarterly cash dividend effective immediately,&#8221; the filing read.
Allegiant previously issued an annual dividend of $2.40 at a 4.6% yield, according to data from <a href="http://benzinga.com/pro">Benzinga Pro</a>.
The filing also revealed that Gregory C. Anderson, the company&#8217;s president, would also serve as chief executive officer. Anderson will now carry out both roles.
Why it Matters: The filing is unclear as to the extent of the fleet&#8217;s capital requirements. According to annual filings, company capital expenditures have ticked up in recent years.
Allegiant operates an Airbus SE (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EADSY#OTC">EADSY</a>) fleet of 126 planes, according to <a href="https://www.airfleets.net/flottecie/Allegiant%20Air.htm">airfleets.net</a>. It operates Airbus A319 and Airbus A320 planes.
Price Action: Allegiant traded at $48.32, down 7% at the time of writing. The stock briefly traded up on the day but sank after the filing.
The Las Vegas, Nevada-based company&#8217;s shares are trading down over 40% in 2024.

Allegiant Shares Nosedive After Dividend Suspension, New CEO Announcement: What You Need To Know

Intuitive Surgical (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/isrg#NASDAQ">ISRG</a>) is witnessing strong momentum, with its shares having rallied 26.4% year to date compared with 6.1% growth of the industry. The S&amp;P 500 composite has risen 17.6% during the said time frame.
With healthy fundamentals and strong growth opportunities, this Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) company appears to be a solid wealth creator for its investors at the moment.
Intuitive Surgical Inc., a Sunnyvale, CA-based company, designs, manufactures and markets the da Vinci surgical system, Ion endoluminal system, and related instruments and accessories. The company&#39;s key product portfolio, da Vinci surgical system, is an advanced robot-assisted surgical system. It comprises a surgeon&#39;s console, patient-side cart, 3-D vision system, da Vinci Skills Simulator and Firefly Fluorescence Imaging.
<img alt="Zacks Investment Research" src="https://staticx-tuner.zacks.com/images/articles/charts/df/71805.jpg?v=110521487" />

The robot-based da Vinci surgical system enables minimally invasive surgeries that reduce the trauma associated with open surgery. ISRG also manufactures EndoWrist instruments, such as forceps, scissors, electrocautery tools, scalpels, and other surgical tools, including wrist joints for natural dexterity for various surgical procedures. The company operates through three segments &mdash; Instruments and Accessories, Systems and Services.
<h3>Catalysts Driving Growth</h3>
Investors are upbeat about Intuitive Surgical&#39;s robot-based da Vinci surgical system that has been a key driver for the company&#39;s performance since its launch in 1999. The demand for medical procedures started to improve in 2023 after being disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, leading to robust growth. The procedure growth expectation for fiscal 2024 is slightly below the pre-pandemic growth rate of 18% for full-year 2019.
Per ISRG&#39;s first-quarter 2024 earnings call in April, the installed base of da Vinci systems grew approximately 14% year over year to 8,887 units. The utilization of clinical systems in the field increased 2% from the prior-year quarter&#39;s level. The metric was up 10% year over year for da Vinci SP. In the first quarter, procedures improved 14% in the U.S. market and 20% in the ex-U.S. market compared with the year-earlier quarter&#39;s figure.
Meanwhile, ISRG expects its gross margin in 2024 to be 67-68%, on par or lower than 68% in 2023. However, the rise in the cost of sales is likely to be driven by activities to support the launch of the company&#39;s new products and capital investments to aid its business growth.
Investors are also optimistic about the recent FDA approvals received by Intuitive Surgical. Last month, the FDA cleared a labeling revision for da Vinci X and Xi specific to radical prostatectomy. In March, Intuitive Surgical received the FDA&#39;s 510(k) clearance for da Vinci 5, the company&#39;s next-generation multiport robotic system.
Although ISRG has strong fundamental factors that should drive its growth going forward, it faces several challenges that hurt business performance. A constrained supply chain amid continuing geopolitical tensions may lead to choppy da Vinci 5 system placements in 2024. A challenging catheter supply may adversely impact Ion modulation system sales. Moreover, weakness in bariatric procedures, along with challenges in China from increasing provincial robotic competition and delayed tenders affecting capital placements, is likely to have a nearly three percentage point headwind for revenues in 2024.

Intuitive Surgical Gains 26% Year to Date: Here's Why

Juniper Networks, Inc. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/jnpr#NYSE">JNPR</a>) recently announced that Telxius, a leading global connectivity provider, has opted to leverage Juniper Converged Optical Routing Architecture (CORA) and PTX Series Packet Transport Routers to upgrade its network infrastructure. Telxius is aiming to scale its core and edge network infrastructure to 400G, thereby enhancing network capacity and boosting connectivity to metro networks and data center interconnects.
With the growing digital economy, there is an increasing proliferation of high bandwidth intensive applications among customers. Frequent network upgrades to address this surge in demand is a challenging task, as it immensely raises operational costs and also complicates network architecture.
Juniper&#39;s solution effectively addresses this issue. The company&#39;s offerings include CORA, a flexible, sustainable and automated solution that utilizes IP (Internet Protocol) over DWDM (Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing) technology. By integrating IP routing and optical transport functions into a single network layer, the solution reduces complexity in network architecture, simplifies operations, significantly reduces energy consumption and maximizes routing platform capacity.&nbsp;
The solution facilitates seamless upgrades to higher bandwidths, accommodating increasing data traffic without major infrastructure overhauls. By eliminating the need for separate IP routers and optical transport systems, IPoDWDM reduces equipment-related costs and space requirements.
Telxius boasts an extensive global footprint, delivering connectivity across Spain, the Americas and other parts of Europe. Its network includes more than 100,000 km of fiber optic submarine cables and terrestrial backhauls, offering a wide array of capacity, colocation and security services. Migration of key architecture to Juniper&#39;s CORA and PTX will free up a significant amount of reserved bandwidth for Telxius and ensure a seamless extension to 400G capacity.&nbsp;
Juniper&#39;s solution will offer enhanced network scalability and bandwidth efficiency while optimizing power and space utilization. This will create a more sustainable, resilient and future-proof network infrastructure, enabling Telxius to deliver consistent connectivity to end users and support advanced applications.
The collaboration with Telxius underscores the growing demand for Juniper&#39;s comprehensive networking portfolio. This will likely boost its prospects and strengthen its position in the wireless equipment industry.
Shares of Juniper have gained 23.6% over the past year compared with the industry&#39;s growth of 39%.

Shares of Ally Financial Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ALLY#NYSE">ALLY</a>) remained under pressure on Thursday, after declining in the prior session amid a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/07/39823332/nasdaq-100-suffers-worst-day-in-11-months-as-chipmakers-tumble-on-china-curbs-magnificent-">broader downturn in Wall Street stocks</a>.
Ally Financial reported results amid an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings">exciting earnings season</a>. Here are some key analyst takeaways.
RBC Capital Markets On Ally Financial
Analyst Jon Arfstrom reiterated an Outperform rating, while lifting the price target from $46 to $49.
Ally Financial announced earnings of 86 cents per share, amid higher electric vehicle originations driving $92 million in tax credits or 30 cents per share in earnings, Arfstrom said in a note. "Fundamentals were driven by margin improvement, stable balance sheet trends, and seasonally lower losses," he added.
With margin inflection taking hold, the company is expected to generate "consistent margin expansion in the coming quarters, which is the primary driver of expected higher earnings and returns," the analyst stated. "Credit expectations remain important, and we see an improved origination mix as positive drivers for later in 2024 and beyond," he further wrote.

BMO Capital Markets On Ally Financial
Analyst James Fotheringham maintained a Market Perform rating and price target of $39.
Ally Financial's core earnings came in at 70 cents per share, surpassing consensus of 64 cents per share, "with lower-than-expected credit provisions (lower net losses) more than offset disappointing revenues (lower NII and fees)," Fotheringham wrote in a note.
Management announced disappointing credit guidance, with 2024 NCOs of 145-150 basis points (bps) and retail auto NCOs of 210 bps, the analyst stated. "We lower our ALLY core EPS estimates by -1% in 2024E (to $2.86 from $2.90), -1% in 2025E (to $5.57 from $5.64), and -1% 2026E (to $6.49 from $6.55) due predominately to higher-than[1]previously modeled share counts (from lower expected share repurchases)," he further said.
ALLY Price Action: Shares of Ally Financial were down 2.05% to $42.54 at the time of publication on Thursday.

$1000 Invested In Fabrinet 10 Years Ago Would Be Worth This Much Today

Some European cannabis companies are already planning&nbsp;initial public offerings (IPOs) on the Nasdaq, encouraged by the prospect of a less restrictive&nbsp;regulatory&nbsp;environment. The potential rescheduling of cannabis to Schedule III of the Controlled Substances Act and Germany&rsquo;s recent decriminalization have ignited optimism within the sector.
Grow Group, a UK-based medical cannabis distributor, is spearheading this movement with a planned Nasdaq IPO in early 2025. CEO Benjamin Langley <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/e5e099b5-d7c9-4281-b370-79cb437459e6">told</a> the Financial Times about the investors&#39; interest in the industry. &ldquo;What we&rsquo;re seeing now, is that loosening up such that people are deploying funds and there is money again in this space,&rdquo; he said.
Somai Pharmaceuticals, a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/23/09/34172404/from-manufacturing-to-market-how-this-eu-pharma-co-fast-tracked-cannabis-production">Portuguese player</a>&nbsp;and UK&#39;s&nbsp;Wellford Medical&nbsp;are also considering Nasdaq listings. &quot;If the US [reclassifies], coupled with the legislative change in Germany, it could be the perfect time for us and&thinsp;.&thinsp;.&thinsp;.&thinsp;investors to catch that sentiment wave,&quot; Wellford&rsquo;s Joshua Roberts <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/e5e099b5-d7c9-4281-b370-79cb437459e6">told </a>Financial Times.
The Drug Enforcement Administration&#39;s proposed rule change to reclassify cannabis could significantly impact the industry by reducing exorbitant taxes, stimulatinig clinical research&nbsp;and potentially unlocking the world&#39;s largest cannabis market.
<h3>Why This Matters</h3>
Listing on Nasdaq offers European cannabis companies significant advantages, especially amid current regulatory shifts. First, it provides access to a broader pool of global investors, while Nasdaq&#39;s stringent regulatory standards enhance company credibility and attract institutional investors. Also, with increased visibility, Nasdaq&rsquo;s market liquidity favors better share trading and valuation. Meanwhile, the anticipated US regulatory easing could further amplify these benefits.

<h3>Taxes And Rescheduling</h3>
President Joe Biden&#39;s plan to reschedule cannabis from Schedule I to Schedule III promises significant tax benefits for the cannabis industry. This change would alleviate IRS tax code 280e, allowing companies like Curaleaf (OTC: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/curlf#OTC">CURLF</a>) and Trulieve (OTC: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/tcnnf#OTC">TCNNF</a>) to deduct normal business expenses, potentially saving over a billion dollars in taxes. Pablo Zuanic of Zuanic &amp; Associates suggests these savings could boost cash flows, enabling growth and expansion.
Curaleaf could see a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/05/38885460/finally-tax-refunds-these-cannabis-companies-will-get-the-most-money-back-if-rescheduling-happen">92% increase in operating cash flow</a>, while Trulieve&#39;s operational efficiency positions it well for revenue growth from legislative changes in key markets. Analysts believe these tax savings could lead to substantial revaluation and market cap growth by 2030.
<h3>Cannabis Across The Atlantic</h3>
Curaleaf, a leading US cannabis company, has shown significant growth in Europe,<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/06/39256772/beyond-europe-and-north-america-curaleaf-ceo-on-cannabis-markets-in-australia-new-zealand-and-is"> particularly in Germany</a>. The company&rsquo;s vertical integration and supply chain control have resulted in impressive margins. CEO Boris Jordan <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/07/39609582/europe-is-turning-cash-flow-positive-well-see-what-happens-in-the-u-s-largest-canna">emphasized</a> the importance of US regulatory changes, stating, &quot;We&#39;ll see what happens in the U.S. with rescheduling and make decisions based on that.&quot;
IM Cannabis Corp. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/imcc#NASDAQ">IMCC</a>) is intensifying its focus on the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/germany-cannabis">German market</a> following recent legalization, enhancing its supply chain with a new EU-GMP supplier. Curaleaf International is also <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/06/39191054/global-weed-business-flora-buys-australian-vaporizers-as-im-cannabis-doubles-down-on-germany">expanding </a>in the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/uk-cannabis">UK</a>, Germany, and Poland, aiming to outprice illegal cannabis and navigate regulatory landscapes. Their strategic moves target growth potential in markets where regulatory changes and medical cannabis acceptance are increasing.
InterCure (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/incr#NASDAQ">INCR</a>), a leading seller of pharmaceutical cannabis outside North America, is poised to benefit from the potential rescheduling of cannabis in the U.S. and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/05/38994368/asset-light-expansion-into-8b-german-market-adds-potential-to-this-cannabis-stock-on-nasdaq">growing demand in Germany</a>. With experience in Israel, InterCure has a competitive edge and is expected to see significant growth from domestic demand and entry into the German market. The company&#39;s ability to produce high-quality cannabis at scale with minimal additional capital expenditure adds to its strategic value.

Block Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SQ#NYSE">SQ</a>) announced that its consumer-payments platform, Cash App, will cease operations in the U.K. on September 15, six years after launching there.
The platform, known for its mobile money transfers, was the company&#8217;s first international market when it debuted in 2018. Block&#8217;s stock is trading lower on Thursday.
The company website quoted, &#8220;In recent months, we have outlined our strategic approach for Cash App, which prioritizes our focus on the United States and deprioritizes global expansion. All of our operations remain unaffected by this decision,&#8221; Bloomberg <a target="_blank" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-07-18/dorsey-s-block-plans-to-shut-its-cash-app-platform-in-the-uk?sref=TBDibEcD" rel="noreferrer noopener">reports</a>.
Cash App, launched in 2013, has become a well-known part of Block, the fintech company led by Jack Dorsey. However, the peer-to-peer payments market has grown more competitive with the rise of PayPal Holdings Inc&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PYPL#NASDAQ">PYPL</a>) Venmo and bank-focused Zelle.
This decision follows NBC&#8217;s February report that US financial regulators investigated Cash App after whistleblowers claimed it had conducted inadequate customer due diligence.

BofA Securities analyst Jason Kupferberg reiterated a Buy rating on Block with a price target of $82.
Block reports second-quarter results on August 1. Kupferberg noted that consensus second-quarter estimates are well-calibrated.
However, the analyst noted that gradual re-acceleration in Square GPV growth, especially in the US, remains the most important driver of the stock.
This would help allay concerns regarding competition and affirm CEO Dorsey&#8217;s strategy while lending support to out-year Square forecasts.
Kupferberg and the Street modeled 9% Square GPV growth for the second quarter, which was steady compared to the first quarter, but noted investors are braced for a modest miss on this metric based on high-frequency data. Given that shares are up 15% in the last month, this could limit the potential for the second quarter to be a positive catalyst, Kupferberg said.
The analyst recognized concerns around U.S. GPV growth and SMB but noted they have been over-discounted.
Block&#8217;s increased focus on profitability now enables investors to value the stock on adjusted operating income and/or GAAP EPS, which should help put a floor in shares, the analyst said.
Kupferberg noted Block is undervalued, and its high-quality business model is underappreciated.
The analyst projected 2024 revenue and EPS of $24.35 billion and $3.02.
Price Action: SQ shares are down 5.32% at $68.0. at the last check on Thursday.
