Stocks That Hit 52-Week Highs On Friday

Benz Mining Corp

As of today, the U.S. debt has skyrocketed to $36 trillion and around one in every five dollars the government spends goes straight into repaying investors. In addition to causing the government a great deal of trouble, this scenario is also becoming a potential stumbling block for Donald Trump&#8217;s economic ambitions and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42131911/donald-trump-appointed-doge-to-have-marginal-impact-saving-50-100-billion-says-analyst-as-elon-musk-aims-to-target-500-billion-plus-in-federal-expenditures">will impact</a> the new government agency headed by Musk and Ramaswamy.

</ul>
The U.S. federal debt is growing relentlessly. According to White House debt <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/hist07z1_fy2024.xlsx">data</a>, it was $19.5 trillion in 2016, shortly before Trump was elected. It <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/10/41564246/from-10-trillion-to-35-trillion-how-government-spending-has-spiraled-out-of-control">skyrocketed</a> to $26.9 trillion by 2020 and now is nearly <a href="https://www.crfb.org/press-releases/gross-national-debt-reaches-36-trillion">$36 trillion</a>. "The point is that fiscal policy reflects joint action by Congress and the president," David Primo, a University of Rochester professor of political science and business administration, told AP. This directly impacts how the government functions, so it&#8217;s not just about numbers.
According to the <a href="https://www.fiscal.treasury.gov/files/reports-statements/mts/mts0824.pdf">Congressional Budget Office</a> (CBO), interest payments alone will total more than $1 trillion in the upcoming year. The government intends to spend less on national security than on these payments. What&#8217;s worse, rising debt service costs are crowding out essential programs like infrastructure, education and health care – areas that are supposed to contribute to future growth.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Big Promises, Bigger Obstacles</h2>
Trump has talked about big economic plans, including <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/24/11/41885777/how-trumps-tax-cuts-tariffs-animal-spirits-could-shape-sp-500-earnings">tax cuts and tariffs</a>. But the rising cost of paying off existing debt means there's less room for these moves. The costs of servicing this huge debt leave Trump with fewer options for ambitious economic measures. Increased debt restricts the federal budget&#8217;s flexibility, making it more difficult to enact tax cuts that Trump claims would help the middle class.
Critics argue that Trump&#8217;s proposed tax cuts, like those from 2017, largely benefit the wealthiest Americans and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/06/39462030/trump-added-nearly-two-times-more-to-the-national-debt-than-biden-while-in-office-new-report">add to the already ballooning debt</a>. Additionally, rising national debt tends to raise interest rates, making it more expensive for Americans to purchase houses, vehicles or make long-term investments.&nbsp;
Trending: Many are using this retirement income calculator to check if they&#8217;re on pace —<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-do-i-calculate-my-retirement-income-adv"> here&#8217;s a breakdown on what&#8217;s behind this formula.</a>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Forces Pulling Interest Rates</h2>
Jeffrey Schmid, the president of the Kansas City Fed, has recently stressed that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42075235/feds-schmid-rising-us-national-debt-could-push-interest-rates-higher">three significant factors</a> influence interest rates: growing debt, an aging population and productivity growth. Productivity gains, especially driven by new tech like AI, could mean higher rates. However, an aging population and the tendency of older generations to save more could push rates lower. &#8220;While now is the time to begin dialing back the restrictiveness of monetary policy, it remains to be seen how much further interest rates will decline or where they might eventually settle,&#8221; Schmid said.
With a $36 trillion bill, the government must keep attracting investors to buy its bonds, which will mean offering higher interest rates.
Without major adjustments, the national debt will continue destabilizing the economy, making it even harder for investors and the government to take risks. The effectiveness of this new agency&#8217;s cost-cutting initiatives will change in conjunction with interest rate fluctuations. The ongoing question is whether productivity and new technology can save the day or if the growing debt will push rates further, limiting economic growth and complicating the agency&#8217;s mission to streamline spending.

1 In 5 Dollars The Government Expends Goes To Repaying Investors. Here's Why This Spells Trouble For Trump And DOGE

France maintains one of the strictest cannabis policies in Europe, prohibiting recreational use, possession and cultivation. Paradoxically, it also has the highest <a href="http://benzinga.com/cannabis">cannabis</a> consumption rate on the continent. As the French government grapples with mounting public debt –currently at 112% of GDP– legalizing and taxing cannabis presents a potential fiscal lifeline.  
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">France Could Unlock Major Gains By Legalizing</h3>
The country&#8217;s stringent laws lead to significant law enforcement costs and strain on the judicial system. <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2024/nov/27/france-cannabis-consumption-europe-tax-decriminalisation-crime">According</a> to The Guardian, approximately 200,000 people pass through the criminal justice system annually on drug-related charges, with substantial resources allocated to anti-cannabis efforts.
However, economic analysts consulted by The Guardian suggest that legalizing cannabis could alleviate France&#8217;s financial challenges. A 2019 <a href="https://shs.cairn.info/revue-notes-du-conseil-d-analyse-economique-2019-4-page-1?lang=fr#s1n7">study</a> by an economic advisory board within the Prime Minister&#8217;s office estimated that legalization could generate €2.8 billion ($2.9 billion) in fiscal receipts and create up to 80,000 jobs.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">High Anti-Cannabis Costs Amid Economic Strain</h3>
Legalization proponents argue it could also reduce gang-related crime by removing a lucrative market from criminal networks. Moreover, regulated sales might undercut illegal dealers and decrease street violence associated with drug trafficking.

Subscribe to our newsletter <a href="https://newsletteremail.benzinga.com/subscribe">here</a>. If you&#8217;re serious about the business, you can&#8217;t afford to miss out.</li>
</ul>
These revenues, combined with savings on enforcement costs, could also provide much-needed relief as the government contemplates unpopular tax hikes and spending cuts. With national debt at €3.2 trillion and a budget deficit projected at 6% for 2024, cannabis could offer France a much-needed financial boost.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Future of French Medical Cannabis In Limbo</h3>
Meanwhile, despite the potential benefits of legalizing, France&#8217;s medical marijuana trial <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/10/41503963/frances-medical-marijuana-trial-faces-uncertainty-as-new-amendment-tries-to-keep-it-running">faces delays and political uncertainty</a>. Originally set to end in March 2024, the program now hinges on a proposed amendment to extend it through 2025. Political delays have prevented alignment with European regulations, leaving the future of medical cannabis in limbo.&nbsp;
Without immediate action, over 2,000 patients could lose access to treatments, highlighting the need for a permanent framework.&nbsp;&nbsp;

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Neighbors Diverge: Germany Lights Up</h3>
In contrast, Germany's cannabis market exemplifies a more progressive approach. Its Cannabis Control Act, enacted earlier this year, has spurred rapid growth. Sanity Group, a leading German cannabis company, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/10/41336543/is-germany-set-to-become-next-cannabis-giant-we-tripled-within-one-year-says-industry-insider">reported tripling its revenue within a year</a> due to regulatory changes. Germany's potential expansion into adult-use cannabis could further establish it as Europe's cannabis leader.&nbsp;&nbsp;
With <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/11/42043465/czech-government-legalizes-cultivation-of-three-cannabis-plants-allows-possession-of-50-grams">evidence from neighboring countries</a> and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/22/04/26520421/majority-of-europeans-support-cannabis-legalization-which-country-will-do-something-about-it">growing public discourse</a>, France faces increasing pressure to reconsider its strict policies. Legalization could not only address fiscal challenges but also position France as a competitor in the burgeoning European cannabis industry.

Europe's Top Cannabis Consumer Still Criminalizes Use, Forfeits Economic Gains

Planning to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/09/40964924/most-people-expect-to-retire-at-67-but-56-retire-sooner-can-you-guess-the-actual-average-retirem">retire at a specific age</a> often involves careful preparation, but reality doesn't always align with expectations. A new study by the Employee Benefit Research Institute (EBRI) found that 58% of retirees leave the workforce earlier than planned, frequently due to factors beyond their control.
EBRI's 2024 Spending In Retirement study, which surveyed 3,600 retirees aged 62 to 75, reveals some of the reasons for early retirement and the financial challenges that come from it.&nbsp;

</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why Do People Retire Early?</h2>
For some, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/10/41185972/is-65-too-early-to-retire-new-research-says-it-might-be-45-of-households-are-expected-to-run-out">retiring early</a> is a strategic choice. They've built their nest egg and have methodically planned for early retirement. For others, it isn't always within their control.&nbsp;
Health issues and workplace reorganization are the leading factors behind why many Americans retire early. According to the EBRI survey:&nbsp;
<ul>
<li>38% of those who retired earlier than expected cited health problems or disabilities as the main reason. </li>
<li>23% stated that company-related issues like downsizing, closures or reorganizations were the cause. </li>
</ul>
Roughly two out of five of those who retired early did so because they felt financially prepared. However, this group represents a minority compared to those whose circumstances necessitated an earlier exit.&nbsp;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Financial Struggles Among Early Retirees</h2>
Leaving the workforce sooner than expected can have negative financial implications. Early retirees have less time to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/11/41918104/are-you-on-track-to-retire-rich-heres-the-nest-egg-you-need-to-be-considered-a-wealthy-retiree">save for retirement</a>, requiring them to stretch their existing savings across a longer period of time.&nbsp;
A similar study by John Hancock Financial found that early retirees are more likely to face financial stress for several reasons:&nbsp;
<ul>
<li>33% of those who retire early rely solely on Social Security for their income, compared to just 11% of those who retired when they planned.</li>
<li>Over half reported cutting back on spending and 45% downsized their living arrangements to reduce costs.</li>
<li>With longer life expectancy, Americans must plan for funding a retirement that could span multiple decades, extending longer if they retire early. </li>
</ul>
The EBRI study also revealed that many retirees are unprepared for the financial demands of retirement. Half of retirees said they did not save as much as they needed and only one-third thought they had enough.&nbsp;
Trending: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/62-years-old-with-1-mil-saved">I&#8217;m 62 Years Old And Have $1.2 Million Saved. Is This Enough to Retire Stress-Free?</a>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Broader Retirement Reality</h2>
Despite the financial challenges, many retirees remain optimistic. Two-thirds of respondents in the EBRI study said they are living the retirement lifestyle they envisioned, even if getting there was difficult.
However, the findings from this study highlight an important lesson: while planning for the age you want to retire at is important, unforeseen circumstances can disrupt even the best-laid plans. Health issues, workplace changes and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/09/40800774/gen-xs-looming-retirement-crisis-is-worse-than-they-realize-expert-compares-it-to-being-handed-a">insufficient savings</a> are all risks that retirees should prepare for to ensure a more secure financial future.
For those still working, start planning early and revisit your savings goals frequently to help mitigate challenges that may come if you must unexpectedly retire.&nbsp;

Cannabis Stock Movers For November 28, 2024

Berkshire Hathaway Inc's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>) stock soared to unprecedented levels, closing Wednesday at $483.08 after touching a 52-week high of $491.67. 
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Berkshire's Stock Surges to New Heights</h2>
The stock has been on a tear, boasting a 34% gain over the past year and 19.6% in the last six months.

With its price trading well above key moving averages—including a 200-day SMA of $430.63—technical indicators suggest the bullish trend is intact.
However, with the Relative Strength Index (RSI) at 68.79, the stock is teetering near overbought territory, raising questions about sustainability. Despite this, a Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) reading of 5.56 signals continued strength.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Buffett's Generosity Knows No Bounds</h2>
Even as his net worth hits $150 billion, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/warren-buffett">Warren Buffett</a> isn't slowing down his philanthropic mission. On Monday, the Oracle of Omaha pledged another $1.15 billion worth of Berkshire stock to his family's charitable foundations, continuing his 2006 commitment to give away most of his wealth.
Buffett has now donated 56.6% of his Berkshire shares, solidifying his legacy as both an investing icon and a philanthropic force. His latest move follows a colorful shareholder<a href="https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20241125323423/en/Berkshire-Hathaway-Inc.-News-Release"> letter</a>, where he reaffirmed his dedication to wealth redistribution.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Wealth Legacy Like No Other</h2>
Buffett, who <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/dereksaul/2024/11/25/never-wished-to-create-a-dynasty-warren-buffett-donates-11-billion-in-berkshire-stock-and-updates-will/">ranks</a> as the sixth-richest person in the world, has more than doubled his fortune since 2014. Yet, he trails Elon Musk's $330 billion net worth by a significant margin. Unlike Musk's splashy ventures, Buffett's wealth engine—Berkshire Hathaway—continues its steady climb, reinforcing its position as a titan of diversified investing.
Investors are left wondering: can Berkshire maintain its momentum, or is the stock's RSI warning of a potential pullback? Either way, one thing remains clear: Buffett's empire isn't just breaking records—it's making history.

Warren Buffett's Billion-Dollar Moves Propel Berkshire Stock To Record Highs

The commercial aerospace sector is gaining altitude, driven by surging demand for passenger travel, robust freight activity, and a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/expert-ideas">resurgence in aircraft orders</a>.
According to Goldman Sachs analyst Noah Poponak, CFA, air traffic recovery is exceeding expectations, with growth now outpacing GDP by more than double. 
The sector&#8217;s strong fundamentals, buoyed by tight supply chains and rising aftermarket revenues, are positioning key aerospace stocks for a significant takeoff.
Here&#8217;s what you need to know — and the top stocks analysts say you should have on your radar.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Air Traffic Surpasses Pre-Pandemic Levels</h3>
&#8220;The overall commercial aerospace market is fundamentally strong,&#8221; said Poponak in a note Thursday. 
Global passenger traffic continues its remarkable climb as international air traffic jumped 9% year-over-year (yoy) in September, following an 11% yoy increase in August, according to the International Air Transport Association (IATA). Passenger capacity rose in lockstep, up 9% and 10% yoy, respectively.
Goldman Sachs forecasts another 9% yoy gain for October based on airline reports. 
Forward airline schedules indicate that global passenger capacity will grow by 6% to 7% year-over-year through November, December, and January, reflecting sustained demand as travel appetite remains strong.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Freight Market Delivers Double-Digit Growth</h3>
The recovery isn't limited to passengers. International freight traffic surged 11% yoy in September, following a 12% yoy gain in August, with freight capacity expanding by 8% yoy in both months. 
Major cargo players 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>) also saw gains, with UPS reporting 11% yoy growth and FedEx posting a 3% yoy increase in global air cargo traffic.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Boeing, Airbus Rack Up Orders</h3>
Large commercial jet manufacturers are riding the wave of demand. In October alone, Boeing Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) secured 63 new orders, while Airbus SE (OTCPK: EADSY) booked 82 aircraft orders—both with zero cancellations. 
&#8220;New aircraft order campaigning activity appears to remain robust, for both growth and replacement,&#8221; Poponak wrote. 
Parked aircraft, which currently make up 11.8% of the total global fleet, remained flat month-over-month, further reflecting high utilization levels as airlines capitalize on the recovery in passenger and freight traffic.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Goldman Sachs' Top Stock Picks</h3>
Goldman Sachs&#8217; Poponak highlighted 11 buy-rated stocks that stand to benefit from the industry's resurgence. These include large aircraft manufacturers, component suppliers, and business jet producers.

Aerospace Ready To Take Off: Goldman Sachs Reveals 11 Top Picks In The Sector

In the current session, the stock is trading at $139.73, after a 0.62% spike. Over the past month, Live Nation Entertainment Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LYV#NYSE">LYV</a>) stock increased by 19.28%, and in the past year, by 65.85%. With performance like this, long-term shareholders are optimistic but others are more likely to look into the price-to-earnings ratio to see if the stock might be overvalued.

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1732824015_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>Comparing Live Nation Entertainment P/E Against Its Peers</h3>
The P/E ratio is used by long-term shareholders to assess the company's market performance against aggregate market data, historical earnings, and the industry at large. A lower P/E could indicate that shareholders do not expect the stock to perform better in the future or it could mean that the company is undervalued. 
Live Nation Entertainment has a better P/E ratio of 156.03 than the aggregate P/E ratio of 41.7 of the Entertainment industry. Ideally, one might believe that Live Nation Entertainment Inc. might perform better in the future than it's industry group, but it's probable that the stock is overvalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1732824016_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In conclusion, the price-to-earnings ratio is a useful metric for analyzing a company's market performance, but it has its limitations. While a lower P/E can indicate that a company is undervalued, it can also suggest that shareholders do not expect future growth. Additionally, the P/E ratio should not be used in isolation, as other factors such as industry trends and business cycles can also impact a company's stock price. Therefore, investors should use the P/E ratio in conjunction with other financial metrics and qualitative analysis to make informed investment decisions.

According to the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), a Hezbollah-linked facility in southern Lebanon was targeted in an airstrike on Thursday after suspicious activity was identified.

Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/TSLA/news">turning heads again</a>, this time with a quirky and futuristic touch: a Cybertruck horn update, rolled out through its mobile app. 
Yes, you read that right—Tesla is flexing its software chops by letting Cybertruck owners <a href="https://x.com/cybertruck/status/1861927109746372644">swap their horn</a> sound for something distinctly cyberpunk.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Tesla's Cybertruck Horn Update: A Soundtrack For The Future</h2>
Social media lit up as owners shared their delight with the new tone, <a href="https://www.teslarati.com/tesla-cybertruck-horn-update-mobile-phone-app/">described</a> as a blend of Transformers-like sound effects and a touch of sci-fi swagger. The updated horn not only matches the Cybertruck's brutalist, angular aesthetic but feels straight out of a dystopian blockbuster. 
And here's the kicker: the upgrade is free, permanent, and unapologetically cool.
Tesla's message to users cheekily pitched the change as perfect for anyone tired of "traditional" horns or feeling a twinge of FOMO over Cybertruck's futuristic edge. 
While traditional carmakers wrestle over hybrid engines, Tesla is perfecting the art of horn envy.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Self-Driving Taxis: Tesla Gets Real</h2>
Meanwhile, in the world of Tesla's autonomous dreams, a recent job <a href="https://www.iotworldtoday.com/transportation-logistics/tesla-seeks-teleoperators-to-remotely-drive-cars#close-modal">posting</a> reveals the company's not-so-quiet pivot: teleoperation. Tesla is hiring engineers to help human operators remotely control its self-driving cars. Think VR rigs, low-latency streaming, and humans stepping in when AI faces a curveball.
Why the shift? Tesla's grand promise of AI-driven, fully autonomous cars—boldly dubbed "Level 5 autonomy"—has hit a wall. 
While competitors like Alphabet Inc&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) Waymo and General Motors Co&#8216;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>) Cruise rely on lidar and geofenced areas for their robo-taxis, Tesla's pure vision-based approach hasn't reached the finish line.
The teleoperation team hints at a pragmatic twist to Elon Musk's lofty ambitions. With Cybercabs and robotic fleets teased at <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41350962/tesla-key-exec-says-we-robot-event-had-1-300-perfectly-safe-autonomous-trips-driving-over-2-000-gues">Tesla's "We, Robot" event</a>, human assistance could bridge the gap between today's reality and Musk's sci-fi future.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What's Next For Tesla?</h2>
Tesla's dual strategy of showmanship and engineering is alive and well. From turning a horn update into a viral sensation to quietly building a human safety net for self-driving dreams, the company continues to innovate in its signature, headline-grabbing style. 
For investors, it's a reminder: with Tesla, the future always comes with a twist—and often, a new sound.

In the current session, the stock is trading at $281.96, after a 0.63% spike. Over the past month, Tractor Supply Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSCO#NASDAQ">TSCO</a>) stock increased by 6.20%, and in the past year, by 34.22%.

<h3>Tractor Supply P/E Ratio Analysis in Relation to Industry Peers</h3>
The P/E ratio measures the current share price to the company's EPS. It is used by long-term investors to analyze the company's current performance against it's past earnings, historical data and aggregate market data for the industry or the indices, such as S&amp;P 500. A higher P/E indicates that investors expect the company to perform better in the future, and the stock is probably overvalued, but not necessarily. It also could indicate that investors are willing to pay a higher share price currently, because they expect the company to perform better in the upcoming quarters. This leads investors to also remain optimistic about rising dividends in the future. 
Tractor Supply has a better P/E ratio of 27.26 than the aggregate P/E ratio of 18.22 of the Specialty Retail industry. Ideally, one might believe that Tractor Supply Inc. might perform better in the future than it's industry group, but it's probable that the stock is overvalued.

In summary, while the price-to-earnings ratio is a valuable tool for investors to evaluate a company's market performance, it should be used with caution. A low P/E ratio can be an indication of undervaluation, but it can also suggest weak growth prospects or financial instability. Moreover, the P/E ratio is just one of many metrics that investors should consider when making investment decisions, and it should be evaluated alongside other financial ratios, industry trends, and qualitative factors. By taking a comprehensive approach to analyzing a company's financial health, investors can make well-informed decisions that are more likely to lead to successful outcomes.
