CHINA RAILROAD SIG U/ADR by China Railroad Signal & Communication Corp Ltd.

Elon Musk doesn't just focus on building rockets and revolutionizing energy – he's sounding the alarm on something much closer to home: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/07/39692868/both-biden-and-trump-say-theyll-protect-social-security-and-medicare-musk-answers-ai-robotics-wi">America's financial stability</a>. In a November appearance on The Joe Rogan Experience podcast, Musk delivered a stark warning about the ballooning national debt and its spiraling consequences. His words weren't just cautionary; they were a wake-up call.
The numbers are worrisome. The U.S. national debt currently stands at $36.17 trillion, with interest payments on that debt reaching $1.13 trillion in fiscal year 2024 alone. To put that into perspective, nearly a quarter of all federal revenue is now being spent to pay interest. Musk highlighted the gravity of this issue, explaining that if left unchecked, the debt could consume the entire government budget. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/07/39668044/labor-economist-says-if-elon-musk-paid-for-social-security-on-his-salary-for-an-entire-year-it-w">Programs like Social Security and Medicare</a> – critical to millions of Americans – could become unaffordable.
Don't Miss:
<ul>
<li>The average American couple has saved this much money for retirement —<a href="http://www.benzinga.com/money/smartasset"> How do you compare</a>?</li>
<li>Can you guess how many Americans successfully retire with $1,000,000 saved?<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/1milsaved"> The percentage may shock you</a>.</li>
</ul>
"There won't be money for anything," Musk said, summing up the dire outlook. "The interest payments, which are already 23% of all government income … that number is continually rising." His frustration wasn't just with the numbers but the lack of a clear plan to address the problem.
Musk's concerns aren't abstract; they tie directly to his experience managing global supply chains and leading massive infrastructure projects.&nbsp;
Musk explained the risks of sudden policy changes when the conversation shifted to tariffs and trade. "I think you need to be careful with tariffs," he said. "I deal a lot with supply chain issues, like the global automotive supply chain for Tesla, for example, is incredibly complex. So when there are sudden changes in tariffs, you're like, ‘Well, we've got a factory somewhere else that's making a part that goes into the car. Now, if that part is suddenly twice as expensive, it messes everything up.'"

He stressed the need for predictability, pointing out that companies <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/11/42027079/we-will-pass-those-tariff-costs-back-to-the-consumer-says-ceo-of-autozone-heres-a-look-at-other-companies-raising-prices">can't instantly shift their operations</a>. "You've got to move atoms, like you've got to build a building. You've got to install equipment. You've got to train people. That doesn't happen instantly," Musk said. "So for tariffs, you want to have a ramp so that companies can adjust and build the factories and train the people and get the equipment in place. Otherwise, you basically just shock the system and it breaks or bad things happen."
His perspective reflects the complexity of modern manufacturing. For example, Tesla's supply chain involves countless components sourced from all over the world. A poorly timed policy change could send costs soaring or even halt production. Musk argued that thoughtful, phased approaches to trade policy are essential to avoid economic shocks.
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>
When asked if printing more money might help ease the debt burden, Musk dismissed the idea as a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/11/41866041/if-you-want-a-new-tesla-cybertruck-you-can-get-it-built-and-delivered-in-10-days-thats-not-a-good-thing-for-the-ev-company">short-term fix with dangerous consequences</a>. While the government technically can't "go bankrupt" in the traditional sense, simply printing dollars devalues the currency, creating hidden costs for everyone. Inflation eats away at purchasing power, effectively punishing citizens for a problem they didn't cause.
For Musk, the path forward requires more than quick fixes. It demands long-term planning and structural reforms to prevent a financial collapse. His bluntness throughout the conversation underscored his urgency: "Hello, wake up. Wake up. I'm like if we don't do something, America is toast. There won't be money for anything."
Musk's message might sound harsh, but it's rooted in math and a desire to see the country thrive rather than falter under the weight of its debt. America has the resources and innovation to tackle these challenges, but time is running out.

Reports of the U.S. possibly <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/01/42890745/us-government-silk-road-bitcoin-holdings-drop-to-0-amid-report-doj-approved-to-sell-6-5-billion-worth-of-crypto">liquidating most</a> of its Bitcoin holdings seized from the Silk Road darknet marketplace may be more impactful for short-term traders than for long-term spot holders, according to a market analyst.
What Happened: Pseudonymous cryptocurrency analyst Kun <a href="https://x.com/0x_kun/status/1877261870631105005?s=46">stated</a> on X on Thursday that this type of news tends to cause mass liquidations in the derivatives markets due to increased volatility, but doesn't necessarily have a negative impact on the underlying value of the asset for spot holders.
The U.S. Department of Justice has received clearance from a federal judge to sell 69,370 Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>), valued at roughly $6.5 billion, justified by the price volatility of the asset.

Why It Matters: This decision comes despite President-elect Trump&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/01/42773793/trump-taking-office-could-spell-golden-crypto-era-industry-hopes">support for cryptocurrencies</a> and his opposition to the government selling its Bitcoin reserves.
Noted Bitcoin critic Peter Schiff <a href="https://x.com/peterschiff/status/1877215472111804655?s=46">suggested</a> the move is the Biden administration preemptively selling off the government-owned Bitcoin holdings ahead of the incoming administration.
He believes this is a move to undermine Trump's stance on digital assets, who was opposed to the selling of Bitcoin but did not promise to buy more.
The U.S. government holds 198,109 BTC, currently valued at $18.6 billion.
This news has sparked fears of a major market downturn, with Bitcoin trading at $92,500, down 3.5% over the past 24 hours. 
Still, Kun pointed out that these large-scale sales are often absorbed by the market over time, especially when the fundamental factors driving the demand for Bitcoin remain unchanged.
The analyst argues that fluctuations may trigger liquidations of over-leveraged positions, particularly in futures and options contracts.
Thus, the initial impact may disproportionately affect traders using high leverage, who can quickly find their positions wiped out in such volatile conditions.
Kun emphasized that spot holders, who own the actual Bitcoin rather than leveraged contracts, are not exposed to the same risks and are not subject to such liquidation events.

On Jan. 9 2001, Steve Jobs took the stage to unveil Apple Inc's (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) iTunes, dubbed &#8220;the world's best and easiest-to-use jukebox software.&#8221; iTunes not only revolutionized how music was stored and played but also set the stage for Apple&#8217;s dominance <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/consumer-tech">in consumer tech</a>.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">iTunes: A Musical Revolution That Changed The Game</h2>
"Apple has done what Apple does best—make complex applications easy, and make them even more powerful in the process," Jobs said at the time. Little did the world know that this launch would act as a precursor to Apple&#8217;s foray into music streaming with Apple Music in 2019.
iTunes&#8217; 20-year reign may be over, but its legacy lives on. Since its launch, Apple's stock has delivered a jaw-dropping 70,000% return, far outpacing the S&amp;P 500's comparatively modest 350%.

Fast forward to 2025, and Apple's stock performance tells a tale of mixed signals:
<ul>
<li>Price: AAPL stock trades at $242.70, slightly below its eight-day SMA of $246.92 (bearish signal) and 20-day SMA of $249.75 (another bearish signal).</li>
<li>Longer-Term Signals: The 50-day SMA at $238.64 suggests bullishness, as does the 200-day SMA of $215.13.</li>
<li>MACD (moving average convergence/divergence): At 1.28, this indicator flashes bullish momentum.</li>
<li>RSI (relative strength index): Apple stock's RSI sits at 44.91, indicating the stock is hovering in neutral territory.</li>
</ul>
Currently, the trend appears moderately bearish, with slight buying pressure keeping the stock buoyant.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Looking Ahead</h2>
As Apple continues innovating in the tech landscape it helped define, its ability to navigate shifting market trends remains pivotal.
Whether you&#8217;re reminiscing about iTunes&#8217; heyday or eyeing today's chart signals, Apple proves its staying power isn't just a melody—it's a symphony.

Apple's 24-Year 70,000% Climb Since iTunes Faces 2025 Test

London based multinational retailer, Marks and Spencer Group (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MAKSY#OTC">MAKSY</a>) has cautioned about the economic climate, citing uncertainties regarding growth, <a target="_blank" href="https://corporate.marksandspencer.com/media/press-releases/marks-and-spencer-group-plc-christmas-trading-13-weeks-28-december-2024" rel="noreferrer noopener">inflation, and interest rates</a>.
The company also said its business faces rising costs due to well-documented tax increases.
&#8220;The external environment remains challenging, with cost and economic headwinds to navigate, but there is much within our control,&#8221; said CEO Stuart Machin.&nbsp;
The warning comes even after the company reported sales of £4.06 billion for the third quarter, up 5.6% compared with the year-earlier period.
In her first budget as U.K. Treasury Chief last October, Rachel Reeves raised the national living wage and increased employers&#8217; national insurance contributions, adding additional costs for businesses, according to a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.wsj.com/business/retail/marks-spencer-focused-on-growth-plan-after-christmas-sales-boost-results-4d660811?mod=business_lead_pos3" rel="noreferrer noopener">report </a>from the Wall Street Journal.
The company reported strong growth in food sales, with an 8.7% increase, driven by an 8.9% rise in like-for-like sales. Clothing, Home &amp; Beauty segment grew 1%.
The retailer reported M&amp;S sustained UK volume growth of 6.6% from the first half into the Christmas trading period, driven by increased customer numbers and transactions.
Core categories, including meat, produce, grocery, and in-store bakery, saw double-digit growth, with customers increasingly turning to M&amp;S for their everyday shopping.
&#8220;Sales records were broken across the business, with Food recording its biggest day and Clothing, Home &amp; Beauty online its biggest week, but we're not complacent &#8211; as a growth business it's our job to break records,&#8221; remarked Machin.
International sales, however, showed a decline of 2.8% due to ongoing challenges in the Indian market and delays in franchise shipments.
Price Action: MAKSY shares closed at $9.34 on Wednesday.

British Retail Giant Marks & Spencer Warns Of Economic Challenges Despite Strong Sales Growth In Food And Retail

Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) and rival <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/chip-stocks" rel="noreferrer noopener">semiconductor chip companies</a> could be hit with one more embargo from the Biden administration to China to concentrate artificial intelligence technology development with allies and on Washington&#8217;s terms.
The Biden government weighed a fresh sanction on the export of AI chips used in data centers on both a country and company basis before passing the baton to the Republic government headed by Donald Trump on January 20, Bloomberg <a target="_blank" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-01-08/biden-to-further-limit-nvidia-amd-ai-chip-exports-in-final-push?sref=TBDibEcD" rel="noreferrer noopener">reports</a>.
Washington could slap three tiers of chip curbs, Bloomberg cites familiar sources.

U.S. allies, including Germany, the Netherlands, Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan, can avail themselves of unrestricted access to American chips in the first tier, Bloomberg cites familiar sources.
U.S.-headquartered companies can apply for universal validated end-user designation after maintaining at least 50% of their total computing power on American soil.
Companies can deploy computing power, and firms headquartered apply for U.S. government permission to ship chips to data centers provided that only up to 25% of their total computing power is located outside of Tier 1 countries and up to 7% in any one Tier 2 country.
According to the report, countries under the second tier can ship maximum computing power to a nation of up to 50,000 graphic processing units from 2025 to 2027.
However, individual companies can expand their limits subject to VEU status in each country where they wish to build data centers.
The third, most restrictive tier affects China, Macau, Russia, and all countries where the U.S. maintains an arms embargo, Bloomberg noted. Shipments to data centers in those places are prohibited.
The U.S. sanctions will also limit the export of closed AI model weights. Companies cannot host robust closed model weights in Tier 3 countries.
Leading AI beneficiaries included Nvidia, Broadcom Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>), and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>), reaching trillion-dollar valuations in 2024.
The Biden government&#8217;s semiconductor sanctions intensified with the 2020 pandemic in China, which disrupted global semiconductor supply chains and triggered a semiconductor chip crisis.
The U.S. and other countries remain focused on ramping up their semiconductor base domestically to mitigate unwarranted disruptions. Previously, the U.S. canvassed its allies to <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42289269/taiwan-semiconductor-supplier-asml-remains-unscathed-from-bidens-latest-semiconductor-embargo-on-china" rel="noreferrer noopener">restrict semiconductor exports</a> to China, citing national security threats.
<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42813592/ai-chip-stocks-nvidia-broadcom-amd-taiwan-semi-micron-super-micro-surge-on-monday-whats-going-on" rel="noreferrer noopener">Semiconductor chip stocks</a> experienced significant growth in 2024, driven by the AI boom that fueled the S&amp;P 500 and Nasdaq indices to rise by 23%–29%.
A third of the world&#8217;s 10 companies with valuations exceeding $1 trillion in 2024 belonged to the chip industry.
Nvidia&#8217;s valuation crossed $3 trillion in 2024, as its GPUs became essential for developing AI models. Similarly, Broadcom remained propelled by demand for its custom chips from Big Tech giants.
Nvidia and Apple Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) supplier Taiwan Semiconductor advanced its production roadmap, remaining on course to manufacture 2nm chips in Taiwan and commercialize 4nm chips at its Arizona facility.
Nvidia had maintained a lack of impact from the semiconductor embargo. However, peer chip companies canvassed the government to go softer on their sanctions on China.
Price Action: NVDA stock closed lower by 0.02% at $140.11 Wednesday.

In the current market session, Archer-Daniels Midland Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ADM#NYSE">ADM</a>) price is at $49.80, after a 0.75% spike. However, over the past month, the stock decreased by 6.10%, and in the past year, by 28.35%. Shareholders might be interested in knowing whether the stock is undervalued, even if the company is performing up to par in the current session. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1736433010_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>Archer-Daniels Midland P/E Compared to Competitors</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. 
Archer-Daniels Midland has a lower P/E than the aggregate P/E of 25.6 of the Food Products industry. Ideally, one might believe that the stock might perform worse than its peers, but it's also probable that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1736433010_1.png" alt="Guage" />

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.

It is not only cars, but even watches and other luxury,&#8221; <a href="https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/mercedes-expand-indias-smaller-cities-younger-generations-splurge-2025-01-09/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">reported Reuters</a>, citing Santosh Iyer, CEO of Mercedes-Benz India.
Mercedes has observed higher demand for premium and electric vehicles in cities like Kanpur and Patna, where infrastructure like stand-alone homes supports easier EV charging. The company plans to expand its service centers in such areas after achieving record 2023 sales of 19,500 vehicles—a 12% increase—driven by strong EV sales, which nearly doubled.
Despite this growth in smaller cities, major urban centers like Mumbai and Delhi still dominate, accounting for 80% of Mercedes&#8217; total sales, with luxury cars capturing a 2-3% market share. In smaller towns, luxury vehicles represent just 1.1% of the market, indicating significant room for growth.
&#8220;Top-end cars continue to grow and outgrow entry and core segments also. These are promising signs on the changing structure of the market,&#8221; Iyer added.
Price Action: Mercedes-Benz shares closed 2.07% lower at $13.73 on Wednesday.

Clear Channel Outdoor Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CCO#NYSE">CCO</a>) inked a deal to sell its Europe-North segment businesses to Bauer Radio Limited for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/01/n42893479/clear-channel-outdoor-holdings-inc-to-sell-its-europe-north-segment-to-a-subsidiary-of-bauer-media" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">$625 million in cash</a>.

The company plans to use the proceeds to repay the outstanding CCIBV term loans of $375 million, plus accrued interest.
The transaction is projected to close in 2025, upon satisfaction with regulatory approvals.
Clear Channel Outdoor CEO Scott Wells called the Europe-North segment sale &#8220;another significant step&#8221; in the company&#8217;s &#8220;strategic plan.&#8221; 
Clear Channel remains focused on growing its &#8220;America and Airports segments to organically improve cash flow and reduce leverage on our balance sheet,&#8221; he added.
Last month, the company&#8217;s Airports Division won a 10-year contract from the Wayne County Airport Authority.

Medicare drug plans can now cover Eli Lilly And Co's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LLY#NYSE">LLY</a>) popular obesity drug, Zepbound (tirzepatide) when prescribed for obstructive sleep apnea, which affects breathing while sleeping.
This change could expand access to Zepbound, which is not yet widely covered by Medicare or other insurance plans for weight loss.
In December, the FDA approved Zepbound as the first and only prescription medicine for adults with moderate-to-severe obstructive sleep <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/12/n42630164/fda-approves-zepbound-tirzepatide-as-the-first-and-only-prescription-medicine-for-moderate-to-seve" rel="noreferrer noopener">apnea (OSA) and obesity</a>.&nbsp;
It should be used with a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity.
In SURMOUNT-OSA phase 3 trials, tirzepatide achieved all primary and key secondary endpoints for both the efficacy&nbsp;and treatment-regimen&nbsp;estimands and demonstrated a mean reduction of up to 62.8% on the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI), or about 30 fewer events restricting or blocking a person's airflow per hour of sleep, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/06/39454632/eli-lillys-zepbound-for-weight-loss-shows-disease-resolution-in-obese-sleep-apnea-patients-lays-f" rel="noreferrer noopener">compared to placebo</a>.
A Centers for Medicare &amp; Medicaid Services (CMS) spokesperson <a target="_blank" href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/01/08/medicare-can-now-cover-eli-lillys-zepbound-for-sleep-apnea-cms-says.html" rel="noreferrer noopener">told</a> CNBC that Medicare Part D can only cover obesity drugs if they are FDA-approved for another medically accepted use.
The spokesperson noted that prior authorization might be required to ensure the drug is prescribed for the approved condition.
Medicaid coverage for Zepbound varies by state, depending on its prescribed use and whether the manufacturer has signed a Medicaid drug rebate agreement. Under this agreement, drugmakers provide rebates to states in exchange for Medicaid coverage, with states sharing the rebates with the federal government.
In November, the Biden-Harris Administration proposed expanding Medicare and Medicaid coverage for anti-obesity medications to address the high costs <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/11/42192091/biden-proposes-medicare-medicaid-access-for-popular-weight-loss-drugs" rel="noreferrer noopener">that have drawn criticism</a>.
The proposed rule seeks to make these treatments more accessible, benefiting an estimated 3.4 million Medicare recipients and 4 million Medicaid enrollees. For some, the expanded coverage could cut out-of-pocket expenses by up to 95%.
The President of the United States, Joe Biden, and Sen. Bernie Sanders, the Senate Chairman of the Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee, have long been vocal about the exorbitant prices the pharmaceutical industry charges for prescription drugs in the U.S.
Americans pay the highest prices globally for essential medications, with one in four unable to afford the prescriptions their doctors recommend. Biden said the argument that high domestic prices subsidize fair prices <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/07/39600377/joe-biden-suggests-novo-nordisk-eli-lilly-to-lower-prices-for-its-popular-obesity-drugs" rel="noreferrer noopener">abroad is unacceptable</a>.
Price Action: LLY stock closed at $773.29 on Wednesday.

In the current session, the stock is trading at $139.55, after a 2.02% increase. Over the past month, Brinker International Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EAT#NYSE">EAT</a>) stock increased by 9.47%, and in the past year, by 265.24%. 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.

<h3>Evaluating Brinker International P/E in Comparison to 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. 
Brinker International has a lower P/E than the aggregate P/E of 84.49 of the Hotels, Restaurants &amp; Leisure industry. Ideally, one might believe that the stock might perform worse than its peers, but it's also probable that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1736432107_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.

Canadian Natural Resources (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CNQ#NYSE">CNQ</a>) has set its 2025 budget, expecting an operating<a target="_blank" href="https://benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/01/42892935/canadian-natural-resources-limited-announces-2025-budget" rel="noreferrer noopener"> capital budget of about C$6 billion (~$4.2 billion)</a>.
This includes funding for several acquisitions slated for closure in the first quarter of 2025, pending regulatory approvals.
This budget aims to support both production growth in 2025 and long-term capacity expansion.
Additionally, the company has approved C$135 million in capital, including C$90 million for carbon capture projects and C$45 million for a one-time office relocation.
The company targets annual production of 1,510 MBOE/d and 1,555 MBOE/d, representing <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/guidance" rel="noreferrer noopener">a 12% growth over 2024 levels</a>.
This strong corporate growth comprises the previously disclosed strategic acquisition of the AOSP and Duvernay assets completed in 2024.
Canadian Naturals projects its production mix for 2025 to be about 47% light crude oil, NGLs, and Synthetic Crude Oil, 26% heavy crude oil, and 27% natural gas, based on the mid-point of its corporate production guidance.
Canadian Natural Resources expects growth to deliver production per share growth of 12% to 16%, based upon recent strip pricing.
Canadian Natural Resources sees natural gas production of 2,425 MMcf/d to 2,480 MMcf/d in 2025, reflecting growth of 14% compared to 2024 levels, based on the mid-point of the forecasted range.
Last month, Canadian Natural Resources finalized the acquisition of Chevron Canada&#8216;s Alberta assets, which include a 20% interest in the Athabasca Oil Sands Project (AOSP) and a 70% operated interest in Duvernay&#8217;s light crude oil and liquids-rich assets.
The acquisition is expected to add approximately 122,500 BOE/d to production in 2025, with 62,500 bbl/d of Synthetic Crude Oil from AOSP and 60,000 BOE/d from Duvernay, which includes natural gas and liquids.
Price Action: CNQ shares closed lower by 0.21% at $32.63 on Wednesday.
