Zoom Video Earnings Are Imminent; These Most Accurate Analysts Revise Forecasts Ahead Of Earnings Call

Elon Musk, Donald Trump&#8216;s pick to co-lead the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), has voiced strong criticism against the F-35 stealth fighter program, advocating for the use of drones over manned jets.
What Happened: On Sunday, Musk shared a video on his social media platform X, featuring synchronized drone swarms, and remarked, "Meanwhile, some idiots are still building manned fighter jets like the F-35.&#8221;
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter">

&mdash; Elon Musk (@elonmusk) <a href="https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1860574377013838033?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 24, 2024</a></blockquote>

</figure>
The Pentagon&#8217;s joint program office defended the F-35, highlighting its preference among U.S. Services and international partners. A spokesperson emphasized its effectiveness and growing global interest.&nbsp;Lockheed Martin&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LMT#NYSE">LMT</a>), the main contractor, expressed its commitment to collaborating&nbsp;with the new administration and&nbsp;praised the F-35&#8217;s capabilities, Fortune<a href="https://fortune.com/2024/11/24/elon-musk-f35-stealth-fighter-drones-pentagon-weapons-doge-lockheed/"> reported</a> on Monday.
Despite Musk&#8217;s criticism, the Pentagon continues to operate&nbsp;a mix of manned and&nbsp;unmanned aircraft. The F-35 program, awarded to Lockheed in 2001, has faced scrutiny for cost overruns and delays. The Defense Department&#8217;s estimate for the program&#8217;s total cost is&nbsp;$1.8 trillion, making it the&nbsp;most expensive in its history.

Why It Matters: Musk&#8217;s recent criticism aligns with his ongoing concerns <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/09/40868796/musk-criticizes-governments-fiscal-policy-says-extreme-government-overspending-is-bankrupting-americ">about government spending</a>. Back in September, Musk criticized the U.S. government&#8217;s fiscal policy, warning that &#8220;extreme government overspending is bankrupting America&#8221; and contributing to inflation. He expressed these concerns on X, highlighting the potential financial risks of unchecked spending.
President-elect Donald Trump appointed the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to tackle wasteful spending. However, analysts like Mario Georgiou of InCred Global Wealth U.K. predict only a modest impact, estimating potential savings of $50–100 billion annually, according to the&nbsp;<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">Congressional Budget Office</a>. This figure pales in comparison to the total federal outlays of approximately $6.7 trillion projected for 2024.
Musk&#8217;s critique of the F-35 program is part of a broader conversation about fiscal responsibility and the need to reassess costly government programs.

Trump's DOGE Co-Lead Elon Musk Slams Lockheed Martin's F-35 Fighter Jets, Advocates Drone Warfare As Pentagon Defends $1.8 Trillion Program

El Salvador president Nayib Bukele floated the idea of a &#8220;rent your volcano to mine Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>)&#8221; policy in the wake of the country&#8217;s successful geothermal-powered mining venture.
What Happened: On Sunday, Bukele took to X to share the success of El Salvador&#8217;s Bitcoin mining venture. He suggested that, given the nation&#8217;s abundant geothermal power potential, a business policy of renting volcanoes to mine Bitcoin might &#8220;make sense.&#8221; 
Bukele was reacting to another X user&#8217;s post on the country&#8217;s stockpile of 474 Bitcoins mined with geothermal power, which swelled to $46 million due to the leading cryptocurrency&#8217;s ongoing bull run.

Why It Matters: El Salvador&#8217;s plan to tap its geothermal power led to the idea of the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/08/40330518/nayib-bukeles-bitcoin-city-project-in-el-salvador-attracts-1-6b-investment-from-turkey-bas">ambitious Bitcoin City project</a>. 
The city, located near a volcano, is expected to be powered by geothermal energy, exempting all of its activities, including Bitcoin mining, from all taxes except for the value-added tax. It is&nbsp;planned to be a full-fledged metropolis, complete with residential and commercial areas, restaurants, an airport, and a port and rail service.&nbsp;
To finance the development of the city, El Salvador even introduced a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/23/12/36192059/el-salvadors-volcanic-bitcoin-bond-approval-sets-stage-to-build-a-crypto-city">&#8220;Volcano Bond</a>,&#8221; also called a Bitcoin-backed bond.

The CNN Money Fear and Greed index showed further improvement in the overall market sentiment, while the index remained in the &#8220;Greed&#8221; zone on Friday.

Economist Peter Schiff has criticized President-elect Donald Trump&#8216;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/24/11/42150794/trump-picks-hedge-fund-exec-scott-bessent-as-treasury-secretary-what-president-elects-choice-means-for-americas-economic-future">decision to pick</a> hedge fund executive Scott Bessent as the new U.S. Treasury Secretary.
What Happened: According to his post on X (formerly Twitter), Schiff took a jibe at Trump and quipped that Bessent should be called the &#8220;Secretary of the Debt&#8221; instead of &#8220;Secretary of the Treasury.&#8221;
Schiff said the new Treasury Secretary&#8217;s job would be &#8220;to continue the Ponzi,&#8221; because Trump has promised tax cuts during his tenure.
Reducing tax collections could lead to higher government borrowings in the debt market, however, Trump remains confident that his proposed task force DOGE or the Department of Government Efficiency would successfully <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">reduce &#8220;wasteful spending&#8221;</a> without the need to borrow more.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">Trump picked Scott Bessent to be the new Secretary of the Treasury. But his actual title should be Secretary of the Debt.

As Treasury Secretary, Bessent will replace outgoing Secretary Janet Yellen, overseeing financial institutions and combating financial crimes at a time when <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/11/42140842/sp-500-faces-volatile-2025-as-inflation-boom-could-return-bank-of-america-strategist" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">the national debt has ballooned to $36 trillion</a>.
It&#8217;s not just the ballooning deficit that is a cause of concern &#8211; the interest payments on this debt set the alarm bells ringing.
Billionaire investor Ray Dalio <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40934156/billionaire-ray-dalio-warns-fed-faces-tough-road-ahead-balancing-interest-rate-cuts-and-enormous-us">warned that the U.S.</a> may have to resort to monetizing its debt, similar to Japan&#8217;s approach. This could lead to depreciated currency values and lower bond yields.
&#8220;I see a big depreciation in the value of that debt through a combination of artificial low real rates, so you won&#8217;t be compensated,&#8221; Dalio said.
The government has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40869188/robert-kiyosaki-rings-alarm-bells-over-soaring-us-debt-the-dollar-is-trash">already spent $1 trillion</a> on footing the interest bill on its national debt this year.
Why It Matters: The role of Treasury Security has been previously criticized by other economists as well. Gordon Johnson, chief executive officer and founder at GLJ Research, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42088394/economist-gordon-johnson-slams-federal-reserve-for-asset-owner-centric-policies-says-fed-needs-to-focus-on-the-real-economy-over-stock-markets">recently said in a podcast</a> that there is constant intervention by the U.S. Secretary of the Treasury, Janet Yellen along with Federal Reserve's Chairman, Jerome Powell, whenever there is a spike in the benchmark yields.
"In early 2024, the Fed cut its pace of quantitative tightening by $30 billion a month, which is just the amount they were letting roll off. And recently, Janet Yellen announced that she is going to buy $4 billion in U.S. Treasury bonds per week. There is just constant intervention by these entities whenever the yields start to spike. It's them trying to disallow any dysfunction or rather I would argue functioning in the Treasury markets."

In October, Bessent assured that a new Trump administration would <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/10/41308042/trump-adviser-defends-ex-presidents-economic-policies-strong-dollar-would-natural" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">support a strong dollar</a>, countering previous suggestions of a weaker dollar to boost exports.

Economist Peter Schiff Criticizes Trump's Treasury Pick, Scott Bessent, Says He Will Have To Find Buyers For Trillions In New Debt Each Year: 'His Job Is To Continue The Ponzi'

The U.S. government reportedly plans to reduce Intel Corp's (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/08/40230583/intels-8-5b-government-windfall-fails-to-stop-15-000-layoffs-at-chipmaker">$8.5 billion federal chips grant</a>.
What Happened: Intel, the largest beneficiary of CHIPS Act funding, is set to receive less than $8 billion, a reduction from the $8.5 billion initially announced earlier this year, <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/11/24/business/washington-curtails-intel-grant.html">reported</a> the New York Times, citing four people familiar with the matter.
Alongside the reduced grant, Intel was also set to receive up to $11 billion in loans as part of the package.
The adjustment reflects Intel's $3 billion contract with the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40864854/intel-bags-3-5b-contract-to-produce-chips-for-pentagon-report">Pentagon for chip production</a>.&nbsp;

The CHIPS Act signed into law in 2022, allocated $52.7 billion to strengthen U.S. semiconductor production and research, with $39 billion earmarked for production subsidies and $11 billion for R&amp;D.
Intel's grant reduction follows a preliminary agreement this spring, which initially promised nearly $20 billion in grants and loans for the company.
Intel has strongly advocated for the bill&#8217;s approval. The company was widely regarded as the law&#8217;s primary beneficiary. However, its business challenges added complexity to the negotiations over its final allocation.
Intel did not immediately respond to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga's</a> request for comments.

Why It Matters: The government cut Intel&#8217;s grant after the company delayed its Ohio chip facility timeline from 2025 to the decade's end, following its largest quarterly loss in 56 years.
The decision also reflects Intel's technology plans and market demand.
Despite efforts to rival Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>), Intel has struggled to prove it can <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/04/38067239/intel-targets-15b-in-foundry-revenue-by-2030-but-analyst-says-tsmc-will-be-10x-larg">match TSMC&#8217;s advanced</a> technology.
With the semiconductor industry being a critical driver of innovation and national security, any shifts in funding could influence the U.S. position in the global technology race, especially against competitors like China.
For Intel, the recalibration may require adjusting its strategy for expanding chip production facilities in Arizona and beyond, the report noted.
Moreover, Intel&#8217;s challenges are not limited to the U.S. market. In October, the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41383055/china-launches-probe-into-intel-cites-national-security-risks-amid-trade-tensions-with-us">Cybersecurity Association of China</a> launched a probe into Intel, citing national security risks amid escalating trade tensions between the U.S. and China.
Intel&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/11/41686435/intel-says-it-wont-even-make-500m-from-gaudi-ai-chips-in-2024-despite-nvidia-minting-billions-ce">Gaudi AI accelerator program</a> is also expected to fall short of revenue targets, with CEO Pat Gelsinger acknowledging slower-than-anticipated adoption rates.
Last month, Intel reported a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/10/41665395/intel-stock-climbs-on-better-than-expected-q3-results-details">third-quarter loss of 46 cents</a> per share, significantly missing the estimated loss of two cents. However, the company posted quarterly revenue of $13.28 billion, surpassing the consensus estimate of $13.02 billion.
Price Action: At the time of writing, Intel shares were up 0.41% to $24.60 in after-hours trading, after gaining 0.25% to close at $24.50 during Friday&#8217;s regular session.

Peabody (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BTU#NYSE">BTU</a>) today announced it has agreed to acquire world-class steelmaking coal assets from Anglo American plc in a transaction that meaningfully accelerates Peabody's strategy to reweight its global coal portfolio toward seaborne metallurgical coal. The transaction is expected to close mid-2025, subject to customary closing conditions.
In consideration for the transaction:
<ul>
<li>Peabody has agreed to pay cash of $2,320 million, comprised of cash of $1,695 million at closing and deferred payments of $625 million payable in four annual installments commencing on the first anniversary of the completion date.</li>
<li>Peabody has also agreed to further contingent payments of up to $1.0 billion, subject to potential favorable future events.</li>
<li>Proceeds to Anglo American would also include $455 million made possible by the acquisition of Dawson Mine by PT Bukit Makmur Mandiri Utama in a back-to-back transaction.</li>
</ul>
"This transformative transaction presents a rare opportunity for Peabody to acquire premier steelmaking coal assets at a compelling valuation as we reweight our portfolio toward seaborne metallurgical coal," Peabody President and Chief Executive Officer Jim Grech said. "The transaction is strategically aligned, immediately accretive and highly synergistic, positioning us to better serve the best metallurgical coal demand centers in the world. This transaction gives us a strong foundation to position the company for long-term success."
"We are delighted to agree to the sale of this portfolio of world-class steelmaking coal assets to Peabody, and we look forward to working together with the Peabody team and with our workforce, local communities, government, customers and partners to ensure a successful transition," Anglo American Chief Executive Duncan Wanblad added.
The acquisition includes four metallurgical coal mines – Moranbah North, Grosvenor, Aquila, and Capcoal – located in Australia's Bowen Basin, which is widely recognized for the world's highest-quality steelmaking coal. Approximately 80 percent of the mines' output is hard coking coal. The mines are complementary to Peabody's existing Australian platform, including Centurion Mine, and are expected to produce approximately 11.3 million tons of primarily hard coking coal in 2026. The acquired mines have an average mine life greater than 20 years with 306 million tons of marketable reserves and an additional 1.7 billion tons of coal resources.2
The acquisition is expected to transform Peabody's metallurgical coal segment, increasing metallurgical coal production from an estimated 7.4 million tons in 2024 to an expected 21 – 22 million tons in 2026.
Strategic and Financial Benefits
Peabody believes the acquisition demonstrates multiple compelling strategic and financial benefits, as the transaction:
<ul>
<li>Increases exposure to premium hard coking coal and key high-growth markets: With a greatly expanded Australian metallurgical coal portfolio, Peabody will be poised to meet increasing demand in Asian markets, which represent the entire growth in global steel demand over the past decade and the vast majority of all projected growth in metallurgical coal demand through 2050. The acquired assets' coal quality and proximity to key markets in Asia provides substantial opportunities to better serve customers.</li>
<li>Creates opportunity to capture substantial synergies: Peabody expects significant estimated synergy opportunities of approximately $100 million per year to be realized through efficiencies from office rationalization, selling, general &amp; administrative savings, and marketing opportunities.</li>
<li>Enhances margins and through-the-cycle performance: The acquired assets' coal quality will upgrade Peabody's metallurgical coal platform and is superior to the peer average. Assuming consensus hard coking coal prices of $225 per metric ton, Peabody anticipates Adjusted EBITDA margins3 of $65 to $70 per ton on the anticipated 11.3 million tons of 2026 coal sales attributable to the acquisition.</li>
<li>Bolsters Peabody's attractive financial profile: The company expects the transaction to be meaningfully accretive to cash flows across all time periods on a levered operating cash flow less CapEx basis. The transaction implies an attractive 3.1x times enterprise-value-to-2026 EBITDA multiple. The company also believes the increased exposure to metallurgical coal creates the potential for a favorable re-rating of the company's valuation, given stronger multiples for metallurgical coal producers with long-lived assets.</li>
<li>Accelerates company's sustainability and emission target ambitions: Peabody continues to strengthen its sustainability through a number of activities, including reweighting its portfolio toward steelmaking coal, joint venture initiatives to develop solar power and battery storage on former mine lands, and fully funding final reclamation obligations. Additionally, after achieving its first reduction targets for Scope 1 and 2 emissions, the company's Board of Directors intends to establish new long-term targets including the newly acquired assets in the coming months.</li>
</ul>
"This value-enhancing acquisition builds upon actions we have taken in recent years to strengthen our balance sheet and expand shareholder returns. Subsequent to the transaction closing, we anticipate continuing our shareholder return program based on available free cash flow, while a portion of cash flows will be used to fund the transaction during the deferred payment period," Peabody Chief Financial Officer Mark Spurbeck said. "Once we fully integrate the acquired metallurgical coal assets into our seaborne portfolio, we will have an even stronger platform to provide significant value upside to our shareholders."
Additional Transaction Details
Peabody's acquisition is contingent on regulatory approvals, clearance of pre-emption rights by minority partners of the assets, and other customary closing conditions.
The company has secured a bridge facility commitment to finance the acquisition. The company intends to obtain permanent financing in lieu of borrowing under the bridge facility and targets a debt-to-EBITDA ratio ceiling of approximately 1.5x.
The transaction agreement provides for an upfront cash payment of $1,695 million, as well as $625 million of deferred cash consideration to be paid over a four-year period4, $450 million of contingent consideration based on the successful restart of Grosvenor5, and up to $550 million of contingent consideration based on a revenue sharing agreement over a five-year period6.&nbsp;All referenced transaction components exclude the Dawson Mine, which Indonesia's PT Bukit Makmur Mandiri Utama (BUMA) has agreed to acquire for total consideration of $455 million ($355 million upfront cash and $100 million in four annual installments commencing on the first anniversary of the Dawson transaction completion date), subject to pre-emption rights and other customary closing conditions.
"Peabody appreciates the shared values of Anglo American across safety, sustainability, productivity and social license matters, and we look forward to welcoming the experienced employees related to these assets to the Peabody team," Mr. Grech said. "We also look forward to again teaming up with the leading global partners who share not only ownership interests in these mines but also our view of the long-term value of these assets."

The "Ice AIS Baby" mission lifted-off from Rocket Lab Launch Complex 1 in Mahia, New Zealand at 4:55 pm on 25 November NZDT (03:55 UTC), successfully deploying five satellites to a 643 km low Earth orbit. The mission was Rocket Lab's 14th mission of 2024 and 56th launch overall. It also brought the total count of satellites deployed by Rocket Lab to 203, further cementing Electron's position as the leading small launch vehicle globally. The launch took place just 21 hours and 55 minutes after Rocket Lab completed a successful mission from Launch Complex 2 in Virginia, setting a new company record for fastest turnaround between launches.
Rocket Lab founder and CEO Sir Peter Beck said: "Two successful launches less than 24 hours apart from pads in different hemispheres. That's unprecedented capability in the small launch market and one we're immensely proud to deliver at Rocket Lab. Customers like Kinéis are unlocking the potential of space and we're excited to give them the keys to do so with frequent, dedicated, and reliable small launch opportunities."
Kinéis CEO Alexandre Tisserant, says: "The Kinéis teams have once again demonstrated their technical capabilities as satellite operators by taking control of these five new satellites at a sustained launch rate. This achievement would not have been possible without Rocket Lab's Electron precision in placing our satellites in their planned positions. With 15 Kinéis satellites now in orbit, we're one step closer to the full deployment of our dedicated IoT constellation for transmitting data in near-real time, anywhere on the globe. Congratulations to all our teams, who are doing an incredible job - and, let's not forget, a European first! We're equally enthusiastic about our second mission, AIS. In a rapidly consolidating market, Kinéis is establishing itself as a sovereign European player, combining technological expertise and strategic independence. With our new AIS offering, we provide maritime players with enhanced visibility over their fleets, while ensuring higher data reliability."
The "Ice AIS Baby" mission was the third of five dedicated Electron launches for Kinéis, a company backed by private and public investors including the French government's space agency CNES (Centre National d'Études Spatiales) and CLS (Collecte Localisation Satellites), an international space-based solutions provider, to improve global IoT connectivity. The Kinéis constellation is designed to make it possible to connect and locate any connected object anywhere in the world, enabling data transmission to users in near-real time, at low bit rates and with very low energy consumption. By enabling internet connection to the Earth's most remote locations, Kinéis constellation can support forest fire detection, water resource management, infrastructure and energy network monitoring, transport and logistics tracking, and much more.

The Dogecoin Foundation, a non-profit building open-source projects for the Dogecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/doge/usd">DOGE</a>) ecosystem, reshared an X post calling for equitable treatment for community-driven projects amid speculations of President-elect Donald Trump slashing capital gains tax on U.S.-issued cryptocurrencies.
What Happened: The Dogecoin Foundation shared arguments by a user called &#8220;junior developer,&#8221; who stated that the policy should be extended to all community-driven and open-source coins, not only those generated by U.S. companies.
&#8220;If I started a U.S. company to hardfork Dogecoin and the fact there&#8217;s a company behind it gives tax preference where classic Doge doesn&#8217;t get the same treatment, the Trump admin has chosen a network winner based on policy and preference. I reject that idea,&#8221; the user wrote.
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"> 
<div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">If the Trump administration is serious about reducing friction in cryptocurrency, they should apply this rule to community-driven, free and open source coins as well:<a href="https://t.co/p9igiFHCVE">https://t.co/p9igiFHCVE</a> Please like and RT this thread. 1/n

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
Junior developer added that penalizing cryptocurrencies backed by communities instead of companies could promote &#8220;crony capitalism.&#8221;
&#8220;And, this is bait, but if you&#8217;re railing against the global financial system doing exactly that with central banks, I think you should rail against a government doing it even if you like the government or parts of this policy,&#8221; he stated.
The Dogecoin team didn&#8217;t immediately respond to Benzinga&#8217;s request for additional commentary on this development.

Why It Matters: The pushback comes in <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/news/trump-bold-move-could-crypto-193455642.html">response to media reports</a> that Trump could potentially transform the U.S. into a tax-free crypto haven for tokens created by U.S. companies. However, no formal confirmation has come as yet.
For U.S. taxpayers, short-term capital gains on cryptocurrencies held for less than a year are taxed at regular income rates, ranging from 10-37% depending on income and tax bracket, while long-term gains for coins held over a year are taxed at a reduced rate of 0-20%.
Tanya Solati, vice president of business development at real estate transaction platform Propy, pointed out that current tax laws, which impose a capital gains tax on every crypto-to-fiat transaction, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/10/41608619/whats-stopping-wider-crypto-adoption-it-could-be-tax-policies-says-one-expert">make daily use impractical</a> and are a significant barrier to broader adoption.
