Creative Global Technology Plans Pricing Of Its IPO Of 1.25M Ordinary Shares At $4.00 Per Share For Total Gross Proceeds Of $5M; To Commence Trading On November 26, Under The Ticker Symbol 'CGTL'

Eastman Kodak Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KODK#NYSE">KODK</a>) shares closed Monday&#8217;s session up more than 18% after the company announced plans to terminate its U.S. pension program. Here&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/KODK/news">what you need to know.</a>
What To Know: In a new regulatory filing, Kodak said the Kodak Retirement Income Plan Trust entered into a purchase and sale agreement with Mastercard Foundation in which Mastercard will purchase certain private equity ownership interests and other illiquid assets. 
Kodak will sell the illiquid assets with a value of $764.4 million for a purchase price of $550.6 million in cash. Additional buyers will acquire $87.3 million in assets.
According to <a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/kodak-prepares-to-terminate-u-s-pension-book-gain-of-more-than-500-million-d0cfb621?mod=lead_feature_below_a_pos3">The Wall Street Journal</a>, Kodak&#8217;s pension plan is overfunded, with $3.5 billion in assets and $2.3 billion in liabilities. The termination process will involve selling illiquid assets, settling liabilities and replacing the plan with a new retirement program. 
The termination is expected to result in a cash gain of $530 million to $585 million after taxes. Kodak plans to use these proceeds to reduce its $460 million in long-term debt, which includes a 12.5% term loan. Under its credit agreement, the company must reduce its debt balance to $200 million with proceeds of this size.
This move is aimed at improving Kodak's financial health, reducing interest expenses and investing in core business areas like pharmaceutical chemicals. The process is expected to take over a year and plan participants will retain the full value of their benefits through annuities or lump-sum payouts.
Kodak closed its latest quarter with $214 million in cash after reporting a quarterly profit of $18 million.
KODK Price Action: Eastman Kodak shares closed Monday at $6.24 after gaining 18.4% during regular trading hours, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro.</a>

Kodak Stock Is Trading At 52-Week Highs: What's Going On?

Tim Draper, a prominent venture capitalist and cryptocurrency enthusiast, has made Bitcoin price predictions since 2014.
That year, Draper predicted Bitcoin to be $10,000 by the end of 2017. Despite skepticism, his forecast proved accurate, as Bitcoin hit $10,000 in November 2017 during its dramatic bull run.
In 2018, Draper forecast Bitcoin to reach $250,000 by the end of 2022. This bold prediction was not fully realized, though Bitcoin did reach an all-time high of approximately $69,000 in November 2021.
When Bitcoin failed to hit the target price in 2018, Draper extended the timeline to mid-2023. The futurist and investor based this target price on mass adoption, particularly by women and retail investors.
Draper said in an interview with Benzinga: "My first prediction was in 2014 when Bitcoin was at $180. I said that it would be $10,000 in three years. Sure enough, by the end of 2017, Bitcoin hit $10,000. Since then, I have not been as prescient. I thought Bitcoin would hit $250,000 by 2022! I think I am going to be three years off.&#8221; Draper added: &#8220;I think we can chalk those three years up to a weak government that regulated rather than encouraged new technologies. Our new government is more encouraging."
Since the U.S. presidential election in November, the crypto world has been celebrating with a decidedly more bullish outlook. Though many tokens have seen significant gains, including Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) and Solana (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/sol/usd">SOL</a>), Bitcoin has taken center stage, reaching a record high of $99,000 on Nov. 21, the second all-time high of the month.
Benzinga asked Draper what his prediction was for Bitcoin with the end of 2024 rapidly approaching and he responded: "This is just the beginning! If you are asking about price prediction, I would say about Bitcoin will reach about $120,000 by end of year."
Benzinga asked Draper what drives his future forecasts for Bitcoin, he pointed to the superiority of the cryptocurrency over traditional fiat and long-term trends in usage.
"It is a long-term trend. Bitcoin is just better technology than using banks and governments as the trusted third party. It is transparent, global, open, keeps perfect records, etcetera. It will make the world wealthier. When retailers (for currency) and governments (for taxes) realize that Bitcoin will save them money on each transaction, then there will be a great incentive for everyone to use Bitcoin."
When asked for his prognostication for 2025, Draper said he is holding out for the $250,000 level and cited the proposed U.S. Bitcoin reserve as a contributing factor.
"Assuming a standard supply and demand curve, if there is a big buyer like that, the price will continue to rise. I think 2025 is the year Bitcoin will finally hit my mark of $250,000," Draper noted.

<h1 class="wp-block-heading">MicroStrategy Leads the Bitcoin Charge</h1>
Michael Saylor, co-founder of MicroStrategy, <a href="https://x.com/saylor/status/1861033309934862601">tweeted today</a><a href="https://x.com/saylor/status/1861033309934862601" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> </a>that the company acquired $5.4 billion in Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>), the single biggest purchase of the world's leading decentralized digital currency.
In the tweet, Saylor stated, "MicroStrategy has acquired 55,500 BTC for ~$5.4 billion at ~$97,862 per #bitcoin and has achieved BTC Yield of 35.2% QTD and 59.3% YTD. As of 11/24/2024, we hodl 386,700 $BTC acquired for ~$21.9 billion at ~$56,761 per bitcoin. $MSTR"
This is after the news that the company is making $500 million a day with its Bitcoin holdings, which Saylor said have appreciated by $5.4 billion over the past two weeks. Saylor predicted Bitcoin could reach $13 million by 2045, which would elevate its market cap to $250 trillion. 
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Optimism Among Web3 Leaders</h1>
Nathan Berkley, CEO of Muhdo Health Limited, a health technology company specializing in DNA and epigenetic testing which incorporates cryptocurrency into its operations, has a bullish outlook on Bitcoin and independently concurs with Draper's forecast.
"I think we could see Bitcoin hit $120,000. With U.S. sentiment being positive to this market now, and understanding Web3 can have real impact, it's a great time to be in the space," Berkley noted.
Lisa Loud, executive director of Secret Network Foundation, a blockchain platform designed to enable privacy-preserving decentralized applications, said: "The Bitcoin of today is not the Bitcoin of 2020: we have a broader finance interest, politics, and uncertain regulatory changes. A conservative estimate would say it will end in the range of $92,000-115,000, but if we get a large opt-in from mainstream, we could blow this estimate out of the water."

&#8220;Our fourth quarter results were in line with our revised expectations on the top-line, and we saw strong performance in our Pro segment with some continued softness in store traffic and larger-ticket and discretionary categories. Profitability was affected by deleverage from the sales decline and a one-time contract item, though we have remained disciplined on SG&amp;A expenses,&#8221; said Jason McDonell, CEO of Leslie&#8217;s. 
Outlook: Leslie&#8217;s expects first-quarter sales of between $169 million and $176 million and gross profit of $45 million to $48 million. 
LESL Price Action: According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/?gspk=YWRhbWVja2VydDUzMzY&amp;gsxid=zBMR4PKmcgBw">Benzinga Pro</a>, Leslie's shares are down 18.80% after-hours at $2.85 after gaining 10% during Monday&#8217;s regular trading session.

Last week, Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) deepened its partnership with Anthropic through an additional $4 billion investment, bringing Amazon's total investment in the artificial intelligence research and development <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42141911/amazon-and-anthropic-deepen-4-billion-ai-partnership-with-claude-35-launch">company to $8 billion. </a> 
The Details: As part of the investment, Anthropic <a href="https://www.aboutamazon.com/news/aws/amazon-invests-additional-4-billion-anthropic-ai">has named</a> Amazon Web Services as its primary training partner, in addition to continuing to be its primary cloud provider, and will use AWS Trainium and Inferentia chips to train and deploy its future foundation models.
Amazon also said Anthropic will work with AWS's chip-making division, Annapurna Labs, to continue the development of its custom Trainium chips.&nbsp;

Expert Ideas: Bank of America Securities analyst Justin Post sees the expanded partnership as beneficial for both companies. Amazon needs a strong AI partner in order to ensure it can maintain competitive large language model (LLM) capabilities for AWS, and Anthropic likely needs more capital to compete with rival AI developer, OpenAI. 
Post also noted that the co-development of Amazon's Trainium chip capabilities could accelerate progress and build credibility for the chips among other AI customers. Also, Anthropic likely finds the potential cost savings for training and inference of its models attractive, given the company's current cash burn rate.&nbsp;
The analyst reiterated his view that the expanded partnership will prove to be mutually beneficial for Amazon and Anthropic.&nbsp;
"In our view, Amazon's growing investment will further advance Anthropic's capabilities, which should help capture incremental AI spend from Amazon's leading customer base," Post wrote.
Bank of America Securities maintained its Buy rating and $230 price objective on Amazon stock. 
Price Action: According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/?gspk=YWRhbWVja2VydDUzMzY&amp;gsxid=zBMR4PKmcgBw">Benzinga Pro</a>, Amazon shares ended Monday's session 2.2% higher at $201.45.

Small-cap stocks are positioned for significant upside in 2025, driven by recovering earnings, potential corporate tax cuts, and favorable valuations, according to Brian Manby, investment strategy <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/exclusives?page=5">analyst at WisdomTree. </a>
In an exclusive interview with Benzinga, Manby shared his optimism for the Russell 2000 Index – as tracked by the iShares Russell 2000 ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IWM#NYSE">IWM</a>) – which has already surged 23% year-to-date and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/small-cap/24/11/42171130/russell-2000-dow-sp-500-all-achieve-record-highs-in-wall-streets-historic-day-bitcoin-gold-tumble-whats-driving-markets-monday">achieved record highs on Monday</a>, surpassing its previous peak from November 2021.
Manby said their domestic focus positions them as key beneficiaries of U.S.-centered policies, such as tax cuts and tariffs, while their relatively lower valuations create a compelling investment case for investors unwilling to excessively concentrate their portfolio on large caps.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Small Caps, Regional Banks: Positioned For Growth In 2025</h3>
The small-cap rally in 2024 has been particularly strong in the regional banking sector, with the SPDR S&amp;P Regional Banking ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KRE#NYSE">KRE</a>) soaring 35% this year. 
This outperformance was driven by combination of factors, including Federal Reserve rate cuts, U.S. economic resilience, and the anticipation of deregulation under a Republican-controlled Congress. 
The expert stressed that regional banks could continue to benefit in the coming year as policy tailwinds strengthen their earnings potential. 
"We think there&#8217;s a potential opportunity for a catch-up rally, hopefully bolstered by the deregulatory agenda of the incoming administration. We are pretty optimistic on small cap financials and regional banks in particular." he said.
&#8220;Any sort of pressure that the incoming administration can take off of the small cap financials operations would be really, really welcomed by the sector,&#8221; he added.
According to the house view, small-cap earnings projections for 2025 are optimistic, with potential upside tied to fiscal stimulus and economic expansion. Additionally, small-cap companies, with their U.S.-centric operations, stand to benefit significantly from proposed corporate tax rate reductions, such as a potential 15% tax rate championed by Republicans.
Manby also addressed the potential impact of tariffs under a Republican administration. 
"We think that the prospect of tariffs would be a bit of a greater headwind for large caps. Since small caps are more tied to the domestic economy, we think they would probably benefit," Manby said.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Small Caps Are Still Sharply Undervalued Compared To Large Caps</h3>
Discussing the valuation picture, Manby highlighted that small caps remain discounted relative to large caps, and that creates a strong opportunity for investors. 
&#8220;The Russell 2000 is still very discounted relative to the S&amp;P 500. It basically trades at about 2 standard deviations below its long term multiple versus the S&amp;P 500 and that gives us a lot of confidence in the valuation opportunity as well,&#8221; Manby stated.
Looking ahead to 2025, WisdomTree remains optimistic about the potential for small caps to outperform. "This is a great opportunity for U.S.-based investors seeking returns without paying lofty multiples," Manby said.
Furthermore, he highlighted that &#8220;ongoing potential rate cuts would certainly be beneficial within the broader small cap universe.&#8221;
