Here's How Much You Would Have Made Owning Fluor Stock In The Last 5 Years

The NFL aired two games on Christmas Day in 2024, a move that may have angered the NBA while also bringing in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/media/24/12/42701434/netflixs-nfl-debut-brings-record-streams-but-lags-traditional-tv-report">impressive viewership figures.</a>
What Happened: While many sports leagues see strong viewership in the United States, the NFL has been king for years and that may have been even more evident with streaming records set Wednesday for its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42695495/netflix-nfl-games-show-super-bowl-contenders-mvp-frontrunner-poll-27-watch">premiere on streaming giant</a> Netflix Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>).
Two NFL Christmas Day games featuring four teams who have made the NFL Playoffs broke records for the league with an average of 24.1 million viewers for the earlier Kansas City Chiefs at Pittsburgh Steelers game and an average of 24.3 million viewers for the Baltimore Ravens at Houston Texans game.
The <a href="https://about.netflix.com/en/news/netflix-nfl-christmas-gameday-reaches-65-million-us-viewers">ratings </a>beat a previous NFL streaming record of 23 million set by Comcast Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CMCSA#NASDAQ">CMCSA</a>) with an exclusive game on Peacock during the previous NFL Playoffs. The figures also broke a regular-season record of 17.92 million set by the Detroit Lions and Green Bay Packers on Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) owned Prime Video in December, as reported by <a href="https://frontofficesports.com/nfl-netflix-debut-sets-streaming-records-as-nba-sees-84-increase/">FrontOfficeSports</a>.
Netflix said Nielsen data showed 65 million U.S. viewers watched at least one minute of the NFL games, with average viewership peaking at 27 million during Beyoncé&#8217;s halftime performance in the Ravens and Texans game.
NBA superstar LeBron James might not want to see the viewership figures and hear about the records.
After the Los Angeles Lakers defeated the Golden State Warriors on Christmas Day, James declared the holiday as belonging to the NBA.
"I love the NFL. I love the NFL. But Christmas is our day," James said.

Can NBA and NFL Both Win?: While Christmas produced records for the NFL, the NBA also enjoyed a strong day for viewership.
The NBA aired five games on Christmas Day, which aired on ABC, ESPN, ESPN+ and Disney+, all units of The Walt Disney Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIS#NYSE">DIS</a>).
NBA Christmas Day games averaged 5.25 million viewers, up 84% year-over-year. Helping the viewership may have been the teams involved and the fact that all five games were available on ABC, while only two were last year.
This figure is the highest for the NBA on the holiday in five years. The Lakers and Warriors game averaged 7.76 million viewers, ranking as the NBA's most-watched Christmas Day game since 2019.
For the 2024 NBA season, viewership is now down 4% year-over-year after the Christmas day games, compared to being down 18% year-over-year ahead of Wednesday.
NBA viewership on ESPN platforms is now up 4% year-over-year, as reported by <a href="https://deadline.com/2024/12/nba-christmas-day-ratings-lakers-warriors-1236242578/">Deadline</a>.
The NBA could also benefit from the Christmas Day games, with its owned NBA League Pass reporting its most-viewed Christmas Day ever.
What's Next: For the NFL, encroaching on other sports isn't exactly new and likely won't be changing anytime soon.
The NFL began Monday Night Football games in 1970 and later added Thursday Night Football games in 2006, which now stream on Prime Video.
NFL games air on Saturdays during December and January, diverging from the league&#8217;s usual avoidance of the day for most of the season due to NCAA Football and the restrictions of the 1961 Sports Broadcasting Act. This year, the NCAA expanded its College Football Playoffs from four to 12 teams, leading to a rare head-to-head clash with the NFL last weekend.
On Saturday, Dec. 21, the NFL had two games, and there were three College Football Playoffs games, with two airing on TNT Sports, a unit of Warner Bros. Discovery (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WBD#NASDAQ">WBD</a>), and one airing on ABC and ESPN.
Netflix has a three-year deal with the NFL and will stream at least one game on Christmas for the next two seasons.
The increase in Christmas Day games from the NFL might come as a bit of a surprise after the league said last year it was only scheduling games on Christmas 2023 because the day fell on Monday, a traditional NFL date, as <a href="https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/lebron-james-i-love-the-nfl-but-christmas-is-the-nbas-day">reported </a>by NBC Sports.
The league said it wouldn't schedule games on Christmas if it fell on a Tuesday or Wednesday previously, according to the report, but strong viewership last year and the potential for more money may have changed the league's mind.
Netflix has more sports content coming with its WWE deal through a partnership with TKO Group Holdings (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TKO#NYSE">TKO</a>), premiering on Jan. 6.
The NBA is likely stuck with going head-to-head with the NFL on Christmas Day, regardless of what day the holiday falls on. One way for the NBA to get back at the NFL would be to start <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/sports/24/11/42226470/heres-why-the-detroit-lions-dallas-cowboys-always-have-thanksgiving-day-nfl-games">scheduling games on Thanksgiving</a>, a date the league has avoided due to the NFL having three games that day.
NFLX Price Action: Netflix stock was down 1.8% to $907.55 on Friday, versus a 52-week trading range of $461.86 to $941.75.

National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said Friday there are "early indications" that Russian air defenses may have been involved in the Azerbaijan Airlines crash on Christmas Day, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/12/42686735/azerbaijan-airliner-crash-kills-38-weather-russia-under-scrutiny">killing 38 and injuring 29.</a>
The Washington Post <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2024/12/27/azerbaijan-airlines-plane-crash-russia/">reports</a> Kirby emphasized these findings are preliminary, as investigations into the crash remain ongoing.
What Happened: The flight, en route from Baku to Grozny, diverted midflight before ultimately crashing in Kazakhstan. Kirby highlighted that the evidence extends beyond images of the damaged aircraft, though he declined to provide further details, according to WaPo.
Azerbaijani officials have also cited "external interference" as the likely cause, with initial investigations showing the wreckage bore marks consistent with an air-defense missile.
Passengers and crew reported hearing three explosions near Grozny, with cutting debris injuring those onboard. Azerbaijani Minister of Digital Development and Transport Rashad Nabiyev confirmed that the injuries were caused by objects piercing the fuselage, The Post reports.
Azerbaijani Airlines has since suspended flights to multiple Russian cities, citing ongoing safety concerns.

Why It Matters: The suggestion of Russian involvement has amplified geopolitical tensions in a region already fraught with conflict. If confirmed, the incident would deepen mistrust between Azerbaijan and Moscow, raising broader questions about the safety of air travel in conflict zones.
The U.S. has offered to assist Azerbaijani and Kazakh officials in the investigation, underscoring the international significance of the findings.
Russian authorities initially blamed weather conditions and bird strikes but later mentioned drone activity near Grozny, which had triggered radar jamming. But survivors described an external impact according to The Post. &#8220;We felt a blow from outside,&#8221; a flight attendant said, noting the plane broke apart on impact.

National Security Council's Kirby Notes Early Indications Of Russian Link In Azerbaijan Crash

In a quiet week for economic data, Wall Street&#8217;s focus shifted to the possibility of witnessing a "Santa Rally," the seasonal tendency for stocks to rise in the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/education/24/12/42675763/santa-rally-serial-winners-10-stocks-historically-poised-for-big-year-end-gains">final days of December. </a>
Historically, the S&amp;P 500 has gained 64 times in the past 96 years during the Dec. 24–Dec. 31 window, averaging a 0.85% return.
The market began the week attempting a recover from the Federal Reserve's hawkish signals of fewer rate cuts in 2024. Yet, renewed volatility resurfaced on Friday, casting doubt on the Santa rally's resilience.
Investors remain cautious, as markets weigh Fed policy outlook against uncertainty surrounding the incoming Trump administration's economic plans.
Still, 2024 is shaping up to be a banner year. The S&amp;P 500 is on track to match last year's 24% surge, setting up a two-year gain of 55%, the strongest since 1999. U.S. stocks are also outperforming global markets by the widest margin since 1997, driven by the enduring strength of U.S. economic fundamentals.
On the leaderboards, Palantir Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>) has surged 360%, overtaking Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), last year's top performer, which gained 175% in 2024.
Consumer Confidence Slips
U.S. consumer confidence, as measured by the Conference Board, declined in December, highlighting rising concerns <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/12/42657230/us-consumer-confidence-drops-in-december-expectations-signal-potential-economic-weakness-in-2025">about economic conditions</a>. A deeper drop in the expectations index, a key forward-looking measure, signals potential weakness in 2025 amid fears of persistent inflation and steady, high interest rates.
Tesla's Robotaxi Bet
Elon Musk envisions a Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>)&#8217;s robotaxi fleet allowing owners to earn $40,000 annually. Despite the bold prediction, experts question the feasibility of the technology and regulatory challenges, suggesting Musk's vision remains aspirational rather than immediately achievable <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42642606/elon-musk-wants-to-raise-a-tesla-fleet-expert-estimates-vehicle-owners-can-make-40kyear-but-remains-doubtful">in the near term.</a>
Trump's Tariff Impact
Goldman Sachs projects the Trump administration will raise tariffs on Chinese imports, averaging a 20% hike, with higher rates for non-consumer goods. This could increase consumer prices by 1%-2%, strain industrial margins, disrupt supply chains and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/24/12/42701155/made-in-china-paid-in-america-what-trumps-new-tariffs-mean-for-the-us-economy">ignite Chinese retaliatory measures,</a> the Wall Street firm says.
Cadillac EV Success
General Motors Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>)&#8217;s Cadillac Lyriq, priced at $60,000, became its best-selling EV in 2024 through the third quarter. The premium EV's success highlights a potential shift toward luxury electric vehicles as automakers target higher <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/24/12/42666472/gms-60000-cadillac-lyriq-was-its-best-selling-ev-in-2024-as-of-q3-is-premium-the-way-to-go-for-ev-makers">margins and affluent buyers.</a>

WIIM

CCSC Technology International Holdings shares are trading higher after the company reported financial results for the first six months of FY25.

<a href="https://investorplace.com">InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice &amp; Trading Tips</a>
The biggest problem with Bitcoin (<a href="https://investorplace.com/cryptocurrency/btc:usd/">BTC:USD</a>) ETFs is that, like single-stock ETFs, they only include a single investment, eliminating diversification, one of the ETF&rsquo;s biggest positives. Fortunately, there are Bitcoin ETF alternatives.&nbsp;



Some of these alternatives could be ETFs holding other cryptocurrencies,&nbsp; technology ETFs that invest in companies benefiting from cryptocurrency and blockchain technology, and those that invest in companies using cryptocurrencies as part of their business models. MicroStrategy (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/mstr-stock-quote/">MSTR</a>) immediately comes to mind.&nbsp;



The largest technology ETF by assets, according to VettaFi, is the Vanguard Information Technology ETF (NYSEARCA:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/vgt-stock-quote/">VGT</a>), which has <a href="https://etfdb.com/compare/market-cap/">$62.3 billion</a> in net assets. That&rsquo;s followed by the Technology Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSEARCA:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/xlk-stock-quote/">XLK</a>), which has $61.7 billion.&nbsp;



The Bitcoin ETF alternatives I&rsquo;m after are more thematically focused tech funds with much narrower specialties than just technology.&nbsp;



To qualify for inclusion, the trio of funds should preferably have net assets of at least $100 million and a connection to Bitcoin and the cryptocurrency ecosystem.&nbsp;



Here are three choices to buy instead of a Bitcoin ETF, such as the popular iShares Bitcoin ETF (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/ibit-stock-quote/">IBIT</a>).&nbsp;



<h2>Amplify Transformational ETF (BLOK)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/blockchain_tokenization_1600_b-300x169.jpg" alt="An image of a hand holding a cell phone with several visualizations of digital building blocks floating above it. representing sto platforms"><div>Source: Marko Aliaksandr/ShutterStock.com</div></div>The Amplify Transformational ETF (NYSEARCA:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/blok-stock-quote/">BLOK</a>) is one of the largest blockchain-related ETFs, with <a href="https://amplifyetfs.com/blok/">$884.6 million</a> in net assets. The actively managed ETF invests in companies developing or using blockchain for their businesses&mdash;a simple premise.



As a result, you get <a href="https://amplifyetfs.com/blok-holdings/">a mix of businesses</a> that include Bitcoin miners like cryptocurrency exchanges such as Coinbase Global (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/coin-stock-quote/">COIN</a>), fintech platforms like Block (NYSE:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/sq-stock-quote/">SQ</a>), asset managers such as Galaxy Digital Holdings (OTCMKTS:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/brphf-stock-quote/">BRPHF</a>), even a plant-based meat company in Beyond Meat (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/bynd-stock-quote/">BYND</a>).&nbsp;



The top 10 holdings account for 39% of its net assets. The largest three segments by weight are transactional (26%), miners (22%), and venture capital (11%). The three largest weights by industry are software (29%), capital markets (21%), and IT services (11%).



From a market cap sense standpoint, it&rsquo;s a very diversified portfolio with small caps ($300 million to $2 billion) accounting for a little more than 50% of the portfolio, mid-caps account for another 20%, and large caps the remaining 30%.



BLOK trades higher today than it has since April 2022.&nbsp;&nbsp;



<h2>First Trust Indxx Innovative Transaction &amp; Process ETF (LEGR)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/blockchain_tokenization_1600_a-300x169.jpg" alt="Image of two glowing blue chains shaking hands. representing sto platforms"><div>Source: LuckyStep/ShutterStock.com</div></div>First Trust Indxx Innovative Transaction &amp; Process ETF (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/legr-stock-quote/">LEGR</a>) is a much smaller ETF with just $102.6 million in net assets. Launched in <a href="https://www.ftportfolios.com/Retail/etf/etfSummary.aspx?Ticker=LEGR">January 2018</a>, it has managed to ride the ups and downs of blockchain technology for five full years. That&rsquo;s an accomplishment in itself in a cutthroat ETF industry.&nbsp;



The ETF <a href="https://www.ftportfolios.com/Retail/etf/etfSummary.aspx?Ticker=LEGR">tracks the performance</a> of the Indxx Blockchain Index, a collection of stocks divided into three categories: Active Enablers, Active Users, and Active Explorers. The Active Enablers are companies that are directly tied to blockchain technology. Active Users use blockchain technology supported by Active Enablers or have test cases for using Blockchain. Active Explorers are companies exploring blockchain technology but don&rsquo;t have a test case yet.&nbsp;



Active Enablers get a score of one, Active Users get a score of two, and Active Explorers get a score of three.&nbsp; Active Explorers are eliminated from the portfolio, with Active Enablers and Active Users accounting for 50% each. The stocks in each category are then equally weighted. The holdings are capped at 100. The portfolio is reconstituted and rebalanced twice a year.&nbsp;



The median market capitalization of the portfolio is $88.0 billion. The top three sectors by weight are financials (39.79%), technology (30.31%), and communication services (9.11%).



LEGR is up 43.3% over the past five years and 37% since its inception in 2018.



<h2>Bitwise Bitcoin and Ether Equal Weight Strategy ETF (BTOP)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/cryptos-to-buy1600-300x169.png" alt="Bitcoin coin with bull and stock chart. Bullish market of BTC-USD. rising meme cryptos"><div>Source: Maxx-Studio / Shutterstock.com</div></div>The Bitwise Bitcoin and Ether Equal Weight Strategy ETF (NYSEARCA:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/btop-stock-quote/">BTOP</a>) was launched in September 2023. It currently has $5.2 million in net assets.&nbsp;



The actively managed ETF does not invest directly in Bitcoin or Ethereum (<a href="https://investorplace.com/cryptocurrency/eth:usd/">ETH:USD</a>). Instead, it buys directional exposure to both through CME Futures contracts. Its <a href="https://btopetf.com/">0.85%</a> expense ratio is one reason the fund hasn&rsquo;t grown beyond $5 million.&nbsp;



While it&rsquo;s nice to have a bet in place for the top two cryptocurrencies by market cap, at 85 basis points, most investors will probably buy the iShares Bitcoin ETF (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/ibit-stock-quote/">IBIT</a>) at <a href="https://www.ishares.com/us/products/333011/ishares-bitcoin-trust">0.25%</a> and wait for the spot Ethereum ETFs to get the green light from the Securities and Exchange Commission.&nbsp;



The fund managers <a href="https://s3.amazonaws.com/static.bitwiseinvestments.com/btop/BTOP-Bitwise-Bitcoin-and-Ether-Equal-Weight-Strategy-ETF-Summary-Prospectus.pdf">equally weigh</a> between Bitcoin and Ethereum futures contracts, rebalancing to 50/50 each quarter.&nbsp;



For those seeking professional management and who don&rsquo;t mind the fees, BTOP is an interesting alternative to investing in one or the other but not both.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

On Thursday, the SEC approved applications to list eight U.S. Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) spot ETFs, marking a pivotal moment in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto">the cryptocurrency markets</a>.



However, the issuers' registration statements are still under review, and the exact timeline for trading remains uncertain.



According to JPMorgan analyst Kenneth B. Worthington, these approvals come amid a notable shift in regulatory sentiment, with the SEC reengaging with stakeholders after months of stalled conversations.



Worthington noted that Galaxy analysts anticipate that trading might begin by July or August 2024. JPMorgan expects trading of the spot ETH ETF to begin &#8220;well-ahead of November,&#8221; and will become &#8220;an increasingly political issue ahead of the 2024 U.S. presidential election.&#8221;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">&#8216;Debate Around Staking Seems To Persist&#8216;</h2>



Worthington also highlighted a significant unresolved issue: whether staking ETH on behalf of ETF shareholders constitutes an investment contract under the Howey test. 



Current applications have been amended to exclude references to staking rewards, asserting that such rewards will not be passed to investors. This change is believed to have influenced the recent regulatory approval. However, &#8220;the debate around staking seems to persist as we now understand the focus is on whether these issuers will/can retain such staking rewards for themselves,&#8221; said Worthington.
