New York-listed shares of ZEEKR Intelligent Technology Holding Limited&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ZK#NYSE">ZK</a>) closed nearly 35% higher than <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/05/38756035/chinas-zeekr-prices-us-ipo-at-top-end-of-estimated-range-whats-on-the-cards">its initial public offering price</a> on its first day of trading on Friday. 
What Happened: ZEEKR, the global electric mobility technology brand of Chinese automaker&nbsp;Geely Automobile&nbsp;Holding&nbsp;(OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GELYY#OTC">GELYY</a>), had priced its U.S. initial public offering (IPO) of&nbsp;21 million American Depositary Shares (ADS) at&nbsp;$21&nbsp;per share. 
The shares of Tesla Inc&#8217;s Chinese rival closed at $28.26 on Friday after opening at $26, giving the company a fully diluted valuation of $6.8 billion.
"There are huge demands and opportunities in the global new energy vehicle market. Zeekr is positioned as a premium electric mobility brand and is an important pillar supporting Geely's electric transformation. I believe that Zeekr will be able to seize this historic opportunity and become a sustainable business that unlocks long-term value for users, investors and society,&#8221; Geely Holding Chief Executive Daniel Li said. Geely also owns Volvo Cars and Lotus Cars.
Why It Matters: Zeekr started delivering its vehicles in October 2021, and the brand has delivered over 240,000 vehicles to date. The company has announced plans to sell vehicles in European, Middle Eastern, and other Asian markets. 
Zeekr disclosed a surge in total revenue to 51.67 billion yuan&nbsp;($7.15 billion)&nbsp;in 2023, but its net loss widened to 8.26 billion yuan.&nbsp;
Zeekr&#8217;s debut on the New York Stock Exchange comes as other U.S. EV makers have been<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/05/38699990/tesla-stock-is-sliding-wednesday-whats-going-on"> facing a stock slump</a>.

Chinese Tesla Rival Zeekr Soars 35% On NYSE Debut, Valuation Hits $6.8B

Elon Musk hit back at the Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese after he talked about the need for a "social license" as <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/05/38751844/australia-calls-for-inquiry-into-metas-facebook-elon-musks-x-tiktok-to-make-these-platforms-accounta">his government intensified scrutiny</a> of social media platforms.
What Happened: Musk, the single largest shareholder of X, formerly Twitter, slammed the Australian government, implying that a "social license" would amount to "suppressing" the rights of Australians.
His response was in reaction to the Australian government&#8217;s criticism of social media platforms for not promptly removing violent posts. The government is seeking more oversight over content posted on Meta&#8217;s Facebook, TikTok, and Musk&#8217;s X.

"With social media comes the need for a social license and a social responsibility," Albanese said in a press conference.
Reacting to it, Musk posted, "I doubt that the people of Australia agree with suppressing their rights."

Albanese&#8216;s Labor government is already in a legal battle with Musk&#8217;s X over the regulatory order.

Elon Musk Slams Australian Government For Saying 'Social License' Is Required Amid Tussle With X: 'Doubt...People Of Australia Agree With Suppressing Their Rights'

Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI, shot down rumors that the AI startup is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/05/38751052/googles-new-rival-may-finally-be-here-sam-altmans-openai-could-launch-it-just-ahead-of-search-giants">developing a search engine</a> or launching GPT-5. Instead, he confirmed that a May 13 event is scheduled to talk about "some new stuff" the company is working on.
What Happened: Altman took to X, formerly Twitter, on Friday to downplay rumors of OpenAI launching a search engine to take on Alphabet Inc.'s Google.

OpenAI's Sam Altman Shoots Down Search Engine And GPT-5 Rumors, Teases May 13 Event: 'Some New Stuff…People Will Love'

Protestors against Tesla Inc&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) expansion efforts at its gigafactory in Berlin on Friday attempted to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/05/38764576/tesla-german-gigafactory-faces-climate-protestors-friday-why-are-they-not-jailed-musk-asks">storm the company&#8217;s factory</a>, damaged several of the company&#8217;s EVs, and even injured several police officers.
What Happened: According to the protest organizing group Disrupt Tesla, about 800 people took part in the protests on Friday. The protestors are against the expansion of the company&#8217;s facilities, which they deem to be harmful to the environment. The EV giant is aiming to double the plant's capacity for battery production to 100-gigawatt hours and car production to 1 million units annually.
&#8220;Tesla stands for labor accidents, water scarcity, deforestation, environmental pollution and exploitation here and worldwide,&#8221; Disrupt Tesla alleged. 
As per the Police in Brandenburg, 16 people were taken into custody as of 7 p.m. on Friday. The protestors temporarily blocked roads and rail traffic and some even climbed over the fence at Neuhardenberg airfield and damaged 24 Tesla vehicles with paint. Though several tried to enter Tesla&#8217;s factory premises, they were prevented by police personnel, the police department said. 
Police measures and investigations are ongoing, they added.
Tesla CEO Reacts: Tesla CEO Elon Musk on Friday criticized the actions against the company. &#8220;Something super weird is going on, as Tesla was the only car company attacked!,&#8221; Musk said on X while also alleging that there is more to the attacks than what &#8220;meets the eye.&#8221;
&#8220;Any idea who is orchestrating and funding this?,&#8221; Musk asked in another post, hinting at a larger campaign against the company. However, he also claimed that there are a lot of protests around Germany over the week as it is &#8220;National Protest Week&#8221; in the European country.
Tesla had a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/05/38691492/teslas-giga-berlin-shuts-down-but-not-for-as-long-as-you-thought-senior-exec-clarifies">one-day planned production shutdown at the factory</a> on Friday in anticipation of the protests.

Apple Inches Closer To Choosing Sam Altman-Led OpenAI To Integrate ChatGPT On iPhones: Report

The&nbsp;youngest son of former President&nbsp;Donald Trump has turned down the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/05/38720621/barron-trump-steps-into-political-spotlight-as-floridas-at-large-gop-convention-delegate">opportunity&nbsp;to serve as a delegate</a>&nbsp;for Florida at the upcoming Republican National Convention or RNC.
What Happened: Barron Trump declined the offer citing &#8220;prior commitments,&#8221; as per a statement from the office of former First Lady Melania Trump, reported <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/4657094-barron-trump-declines-rnc-delegate/">The Hill</a> on Friday.
&#8220;While Barron is honored to have been chosen as a delegate by the Florida Republican Party, he regretfully declines to participate due to prior commitments,&#8221; read the statement.

Jared Kushner Reportedly Making Calls To Potential Donors To Attend Ex-President&#8217;s New York Fundraiser For 2024 Run</a>
The Florida GOP had earlier announced that Barron Trump would join his siblings, Eric, Tiffany, and Donald Trump Jr., as delegates, with Eric Trump serving as the state&#8217;s delegation chair. The RNC is scheduled to take place in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, in mid-July.
Earlier, Donald Trump, said in a radio interview, &#8220;He [Barron] does like politics. It's sort of funny. He'll tell me sometimes, &#8216;Dad, this is what you have to do.&#8217; So anyway, he's a good guy. He's a senior now in high school, and he'll be going to college.&#8221;
Why It Matters: This news comes as a surprise, given Barron Trump&#8217;s recent steps into the political spotlight. Just two days ago, it was reported that Barron Trump was selected as one of Florida&#8217;s at-large delegates for the RNC. This would have been his first official role in politics, alongside his siblings.
Earlier in March, it was reported that Melania Trump had&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/03/37681395/melania-trump-chooses-barron-over-husbands-2024-presidential-campaign-she-dislikes-a-petting-zoo">shifted her focus toward her family</a>, particularly her son Barron, rather than her husband&#8217;s 2024 presidential campaign. At the time, it was reported that she has been dedicated to exploring potential colleges for Barron, and is resolved to accompany him wherever he chooses to pursue his studies.
Despite his family&#8217;s political ties, Barron Trump has been a subject of privacy concerns. In March 2024,&nbsp;Chelsea Clinton spoke out in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/03/37903485/bill-clintons-daughter-speaks-out-in-defense-of-donald-trumps-youngest-sons-privacy-rights-leave-him">defense&nbsp;of Barron Trump&#8217;s privacy rights</a>, urging the media to respect his status as a private citizen.

With a resilient economy, 4.35 million people, and a GDP of $146 billion, Panama is one of the safest countries in the region. Its low inflation history and abundant job opportunities make it an attractive destination for Americans seeking a change of pace.

Barbados offers tropical vibes and gorgeous beaches, where Americans can stay for 180 days without a visa. Most job opportunities are in tourism and hospitality, the island&#8217;s largest industries. Crime rates remain low, with only 21 cases reported in 2023. Barbados is known for its middle-income economy driven by tourism, tropical fruits, and clear oceans. Although not among the most stable economies, the country expects a steady economic recovery in 2024.

The Bahamas, a popular holiday spot for Americans, lets them stay visa-free for up to 240 days. Although it has a stable economy with a GDP per capita of around $31,000, finding job opportunities can be tricky for foreigners. Half of the country&#8217;s income comes from the tourism industry, and its crystal-clear waters and sandy beaches are sure to enchant you.

An internal review released Friday revealed significant challenges, to put it nicely, plaguing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/new-york-cannabis">New York&#8217;s legal cannabis market</a>.
The issues are primarily attributed to inexperienced leadership within the state&#8217;s Office of Cannabis Management (OCM). The report was blunt, calling the OCM a &#8220;mission-driven&#8221; startup rather than a competent government office. 
Governor Kathy Hochul then proceeded to fire Chris Alexander, the head of the OCM.
The report noted that the OCM was staffed with inexperienced leadership, lacked a transparent process for licensing new dispensaries and had virtually no customer service for licensees.
"The majority of OCM's most senior leadership has relatively limited experience in leading regulatory entities, and the agency has experienced significant turnover in executive roles," the report reads.
"It has struggled to make the transition to a mature regulatory agency," noted the report, which was produced by Office of General Services Commissioner Jeanette Moy and obtained by the <a href="https://nypost.com/2024/05/10/us-news/damning-internal-report-rips-hochuls-cannabis-agency/">NY Post</a> before being released publicly Friday.
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/04/38419082/cannabis-saga-in-the-empire-state-corruption-or-ineptitude-private-equity-tramples-social-equity" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Cannabis Saga In The Empire State: Corruption Or Ineptitude? Private Equity Tramples Social Equity, Report Reveals</a>
The report highlighted "implementation challenges" that "resulted in confusion, difficulties, and delays for well-intentioned line staff as well as applicants," referring to the complicated hoops potential licensees have had to jump through.
Other key problems within the OCM included erratic changes in licensing regulations, a lack of transparency and ineffective enforcement measures. These issues have not only hindered the legal cannabis market but have also fostered the proliferation of unlicensed cannabis shops across New York state. The Big Apple alone has more than 2,000 illicit shops according the local authorities.
Hochul, recognizing the severity of the situation, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/03/37776915/new-york-gov-hochul-orders-review-of-cannabis-licensing-process-after-numerous-setbacks">ordered a comprehensive review in March</a> to address the bureaucratic hurdles and legal setbacks faced by the OCM. 
At the time, she called the program a &#8220;disaster.&#8221;
Despite initial intentions to prioritize <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/23/03/31398249/new-york-marijuana-regulators-sued-by-big-players-for-alleged-violation-of-state-cannabis-law">social equity</a> by allocating licenses to nonprofits and individuals with prior convictions or those who suffered from the War on Drugs, the process was marred by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/23/08/33617244/the-debacle-called-ny-cannabis-market-state-supreme-court-halts-new-retail-licenses-following-ve">lawsuits</a>, delays and regulatory inconsistencies.
The OCM's chief equity officer Damian Fagon also happens to be on administrative leave pending an ongoing internal investigation that he retaliated against a&nbsp;Hudson Valley cannabis processor&nbsp;who was critical of OCM.
At this point, with only a limited number of legal cannabis dispensaries operating since late 2022, the illegal market has thrived. Unlicensed retailers who seem to operate with impunity are undermining the legal framework – a situation the OCM seemed incapable of controlling.
The report outlined various policy solutions to address the agency&#8217;s challenges, including the recruitment of experienced staff, streamlining licensing processes, and engaging in public outreach efforts to identify and rectify issues.

A recent Beacon Securities report focuses on Curaleaf&#39;s strategic financial management and the potential impacts of legislative changes on its operations. Concurrently, Needham&#39;s report highlights Trulieve&#39;s operational strengths and projected growth, emphasizing the company&#39;s adeptness in navigating regulatory landscapes and capitalizing on market opportunities.
<h2>Curaleaf&#39;s Strategic Gains Amidst Modest Revenue Growth</h2>
According to Beacon&rsquo;s report, Curaleaf Holdings Inc. (OTC: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/curlf#OTC">CURLF</a>) demonstrated strategic resilience in the first quarter of 2024, recording <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/05/38748891/curaleaf-reports-q1-2024-revenue-of-339m-48-gross-margin-amid-strategic-global-expansion">revenues of $339 million and adjusted EBITDA of $77 million</a>. Although these figures slightly missed the consensus estimates, they surpassed Beacon Securities&#39; forecast, signaling robust operational efficiencies.
The adjusted gross margins saw a quarter-over-quarter increase of 117 basis points, indicative of improved asset utilization across their cultivation and manufacturing operations. Despite a slight decrease in vertical mix affecting overall margins, Curaleaf&#39;s operational adjustments led to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/05/38656307/big-players-in-u-s-cannabis-could-play-the-stock-value-card-in-m-a-new-report-shows">stronger EBITDA margins</a> than anticipated.
Russell Stanley of <a href="https://beaconsecurities.ca/">Beacon </a>highlighted the company&#39;s adept management of operating cash flows which facilitated a significant <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/05/38603896/credit-check-what-does-dea-rescheduling-mean-for-cannabis-credit-ratings-big-companies-risk-retu">debt</a> repurchase post-quarter, enhancing its financial stability. Additionally, Russell considered the potential benefits from the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/05/38597432/new-tax-rules-in-cannabis-what-are-the-consequences-dea-rescheduling">expected rescheduling of cannabis </a>and the implications of the SAFER Banking Act are poised to create a favorable financial landscape for Curaleaf.
<h3>Trulieve&#39;s Profitability</h3>
Concurrently, Trulieve Cannabis Corp. (OTC: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/tcnnf#OTC">TCNNF</a>) reported a commendable start to 2024, with first-quarter revenues climbing to $297.6 million, outpacing expectations. According to Matt McGinley from <a href="https://www.needhamco.com/">Needham</a>, the company achieved the highest gross margin and EBITDA rates observed in over two years, at 58.4% and 35.5% respectively. This improvement is largely attributed to stabilized pricing and cost reductions in their Florida operations.
Trulieve&#39;s fiscal prudence was evident in their management of operating cash flow, which included a notable $96 million relating to 280E tax refunds, underscoring their adept navigation of regulatory landscapes to bolster financial health.
<h2>Projections</h2>
<h3>Curaleaf&#39;s Strategic Financial Management</h3>
Stanley and his team at Beacon Securities are optimistic about Curaleaf&#39;s ability to capitalize on impending <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/05/38559933/billions-on-the-move-tracking-market-cap-changes-in-top-cannabis-firms-after-dea-rescheduling-an">legislative reforms</a>. With the anticipated rescheduling of cannabis and the potential enactment of the SAFER Banking Act, Curaleaf is expected to gain considerable operational advantages. These changes could potentially increase the company&#39;s operating cash flow by 92% and free cash flow by 188%, thereby substantially <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/05/38657697/post-cannabis-rescheduling-whats-next-for-marijuana-giants-potential-1-1b-cash-flow">boosting profitability</a> and enhancing shareholder returns.

<h3>Trulieve&#39;s Operations And Future Prospects</h3>
On the other hand, Needham&#39;s Matt McGinley praises <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/05/38730627/medical-marijuana-giant-trulieve-backer-of-floridas-recreational-cannabis-ballot-narrows-loss-re">Trulieve Cannabis Corp. </a>for its operational excellence, which he believes sets the company up for a successful financial year. He highlights Trulieve&#39;s record-setting gross margins and EBITDA rates at the beginning of 2024, attributing these achievements to the company&#39;s rigorous operational efficiencies and cost management strategies.
Moreover, he points to significant potential for growth in revenue stemming from <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/04/38531355/cannabis-stocks-and-etfs-surge-as-dea-moves-to-reschedule-marijuana">legislative advancements</a> in key markets like <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/04/38470560/landing-in-floridas-cannabis-market-legal-adult-use-marijuana-could-yield-874m-in-2">Florida</a> and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/pennsylvania-cannabis">Pennsylvania</a>, which may transition to adult-use cannabis.
