Gelesis Holdings Inc Warrants (07/09/2027)

Israel&#8217;s securities regulator&nbsp;granted approval for six investment houses to launch hedge funds tracking Bitcoin&#8217;s (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) price on New Year&#8217;s Eve, local media reported Wednesday.
What Happened: The funds are all set to launch on Dec. 31, the last&nbsp;trading day of the year, after getting the regulatory go-ahead from the&nbsp;Israel Securities Authority, <a href="https://www.calcalistech.com/ctechnews/article/h1mzzvkhyx">according </a>to financial news platform Calcalist and Globes.
Some funds will align with BlackRock&#8217;s iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IBIT#NASDAQ">IBIT</a>) while others will follow the index launched by S&amp;P&nbsp;or the Chicago Stock Exchange.&nbsp;One fund plans to adopt an active strategy, aiming to outperform Bitcoin&#8217;s price performance.
The funds will be offered by Ayalon, IBI, Meitav, More, Migdal Capital Markets, and Phoenix, with management fees in the range of 0.25%-1.25%.

The launch of&nbsp;Bitcoin mutual funds and ETFs&nbsp;is a result of persistent lobbying and&nbsp;requests by investment houses to&nbsp;the Securities Authority over the&nbsp;past two years, the report mentioned. The regulator only granted final approval last week, on the condition that all investment houses launch the products simultaneously.
The Israel Securities authority didn&#8217;t immediately respond to Benzinga&#8217;s request for confirmation.
Why It Matters: The rise of Bitcoin exchange-traded funds has been reshaping institutional engagement with digital assets. Experts at the recent <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/digital-assets" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga Future of Digital Assets</a>&nbsp;conference expressed consensus that ETFs removed barriers that once deterred traditional investors from entering the cryptocurrency market. 
Furthermore, a leading Bloomberg analyst, Eric Balchunas, said that Blackrock's iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/12/42666635/blackrocks-bitcoin-etf-could-outshine-sp-500-tracking-spy-to-become-top-investment-vehicle-but-it-will-take-a-long-time-says-prominent-analyst">had the potential </a>to surpass SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust to become the world's top exchange-traded fund.
According to SoSo Value, the 12 spot Bitcoin ETFs <a href="https://sosovalue.com/assets/etf/us-btc-spot">held </a>$110 billion, or 5.7% of the total supply, as of this writing, with Blackrock&#8217;s IBIT leading the pack with over $50 billion in assets under management.

Bitcoin Hedge Funds Get Green Light In Israel: 6 Investment Houses Ready To Launch Before New Year

The Shiba Inu (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/shib/usd">SHIB</a>) ecosystem announced early access to their highly anticipated virtual space, Shib: The Metaverse, on Christmas, promising an immersive experience like never before.
What Happened: Lucie, Shiba Inu&#8217;s marketing lead, made the announcement via X, describing the metaverse as &#8220;a platform for creativity, connection, and ownership.&#8221;
The platform, built over Shibarium, Shiba Inu&#8217;s Layer-2 blockchain, is a fusion between real and virtual worlds, allowing people to engage through digital avatars. 
Think of it as digital real estate, where users can own and trade huge plots of land. Additionally, the metaverse gives access to a personal space, where they can build and manage their own virtual words based on their vision.
The land could be purchased using the SHIB token, potentially boosting the utility and demand of the popular dog-themed coin.

Shytoshi Celebrates As Shiba Inu Virtual World 'Shib The Metaverse' Goes Live On Christmas

Iran&#8217;s reformist government has lifted the ban on Meta Platforms, Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) WhatsApp, and Alphabet Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) Google Play.
What Happened: Iran&#8217;s reformist government, led by Masoud Pezeshkian, has lifted this ban, marking a significant move towards reducing internet restrictions, <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/bb68c686-89d2-4305-bd1e-94452795809c">reported</a> the Financial Times.
This decision was made during a high-level meeting on Tuesday, overcoming resistance from hardline factions within the Islamic regime, the report noted, citing Iranian media.

The move is part of a broader effort by Pezeshkian&#8217;s administration to ease pressures on civil society.
Sattar Hashemi, Iran's telecommunications minister, stated on X, &#8220;Today, we took the first step towards lifting internet restrictions by demonstrating unity,&#8221; adding, &#8220;This path will continue&#8221;

Why It Matters: Despite restrictions, Iranians have accessed platforms like WhatsApp and Instagram through widely available VPNs.
Reformists accuse hardliners of hypocrisy, alleging they profit from VPN sales. They also argue that easing restrictions could alleviate public discontent.
Hardliners view the internet as a tool for adversaries like the U.S. and Israel to wage a &#8220;soft war&#8221; against Iran.

According to Iranian Students Polling Agency surveys, WhatsApp usage rose steadily from 16.6% in December 2015 to 25% after Telegram&#8217;s ban, reaching 71.4% by August 2021.
Instagram usage grew from 25.5% in December 2015 to 53.1% by August 2021, establishing it as the second-most popular platform in the country.
The lifting of the ban also comes amid heightened tensions between Iran and the U.S. Last month, Iran&#8217;s foreign ministry <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/11/41869511/iran-calls-trump-assassination-plot-claims-completely-baseless">dismissed accusations</a> by the U.S. Department of Justice regarding an alleged plot to assassinate Donald Trump.

Bitcoin, Ethereum Rise, Dogecoin Slides Amid Positive Christmas Sentiment: Analyst Cautions $110K Target For BTC Possible Only When...

Elon Musk has shared a preview of the collaboration between McDonald&#8217;s Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MCD#NYSE">MCD</a>) Japan and the iconic anime series Neon Genesis Evangelion.
What Happened: This partnership was first announced on Dec. 19, 2024. On Wednesday, McDonald Japan's official X, formerly Twitter, page posted a follow-up preview video featuring original voice actors.

The collaboration&#8217;s highlight is the McDonald&#8217;s Evangelion Value Set, offering three unique transforming figurines.
These figures morph from McDonald&#8217;s items—a Big Mac, French fries, and McShake—into EVA units. The set is priced at 3,900 yen (about $24) and requires a lottery registration via the McDonald&#8217;s Japan app, running until Jan. 10.
Winners will be notified on Jan. 16, with collection available from Jan. 20 to 26.&nbsp;
Why It Matters: McDonald&#8217;s Japan is renowned for its anime-themed promotions. Considering Evangelion, which debuted nearly 30 years ago, remains a cultural phenomenon, this latest venture has captured massive attention.
Previously, Guillaume Huin, senior marketing director at McDonald's U.S., said on X that he was eagerly attempting to get his hands on a set.

However, these rumors did not materialize.
Price Action: McDonald&#8217;s stock has fallen 1.03% year-to-date, <a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/lxquj26b2sag">according to Benzinga Pro data</a>. However, analyst reports from BofA Securities, Truist Securities, and BMO Capital have set an average price target of $333.67 for MCD, indicating a potential upside of 13.60%.

McDonald's Evangelion Collaboration Advert Catches Elon Musk's Eye. Here's What The Techno King Shared

In the face of global and national political upheavals, the U.S. economy is projected to maintain its exceptional performance, surpassing other major economies in 2025, as per economist Mohamed El Erian.
What Happened: El Erian attributes the strength of the U.S. economy to its significant foreign capital attraction and large-scale investment in future productivity drivers, competitiveness, and growth, according to a Project Syndicate report shared by the economist on X Wednesday.
The former PIMCO CEO said the U.S. economy is &#8220;likely to continue outperforming other major economies in 2025."

Despite political turmoil in many countries, including the collapse of governments in France and Germany and the political transition in the U.S. following Donald Trump&#8217;s victory, the economy has remained resilient. This resilience is also evident in the face of geopolitical challenges, such as the &#8220;axis of convenience&#8221; comprising China, Iran, North Korea, and Russia, seeking to challenge the Western-dominated international order.
On the other hand, Europe and China are grappling with significant economic weaknesses, with Europe struggling&nbsp;with low growth and large&nbsp;budget deficits, and China facing the threat of &#8220;Japanification.&#8221;
Despite these challenges, the U.S. economy has not only remained stable but has also pulled further ahead. This trend is expected to continue in 2025, with the U.S. likely to continue outperforming other major economies.
However, El Erian warns that political and geopolitical upheaval poses a risk to the endurance of U.S. economic exceptionalism.
&#8220;My baseline scenario for the [U.S.] includes a somewhat lower immediate growth rate, even as the economy outperforms its peers, and sticky inflation,&#8221; wrote El Erian.

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) also <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/10/41461338/imf-upwardly-revises-us-economic-growth-but-warns-under-current-policies-the-us-public-debt-is-not-s">revised its forecast</a> for U.S. growth in 2025, projecting a 2.2% growth, which is 0.3 percentage point higher than previous estimates.
Moreover,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/11/42024472/goldman-sachs-us-to-dominate-2025-growth-with-2-5-gdp-boost-euro-area-will-struggle">Goldman Sachs Research</a>&nbsp;predicts a strong year for global economic growth in 2025, with the US expected to lead the way, significantly surpassing the consensus of 1.9%.
However, El Erian&#8217;s prediction of the US economy outperforming other major economies aligns with his earlier warning about <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/bonds/24/12/42677086/treasury-yields-could-hit-5-in-2025-mohamed-el-erian-warns-will-next-year-bring-head-winds-for-surging-markets">U.S. Treasury yields potentially hitting 5% in 2025</a>, as markets digest the Federal Reserve's revised rate outlook and end-of-year dynamics.

El Erian Explains Why US Economy Is 'Likely To Continue Outperforming Other Major Economies In 2025'

Cryptocurrencies and stocks associated with &#8220;Roaring Kitty&#8221; rose Wednesday following the famed trader&#8217;s apparent &#8216;Merry Christmas&#8217; wish.
What happened: Keith Gill, better known online as Roaring Kitty, became active on the special day after he posted a picture of a neatly wrapped gift.
The message conveyed his Christmas wish and wasn't as cryptic as some of his earlier social media posts.

Another coin, Kitty Inu (KITTY) surged 17.96% in the last 24 hours.&nbsp;
Note that these meme coins have no fundamental ties to GameStop or Roaring Kitty but are just playing on the speculations of a short squeeze of the meme stock and a possible repetition of the 2021 event.

In response to US President-elect Donald Trump&#8217;s renewed interest in acquiring Greenland, the Danish government has significantly ramped up defense spending for the Arctic territory. This announcement was made shortly after Trump&#8217;s statement.
What Happened: Danish Defence Minister Troels Lund Poulsen announced a substantial investment in Greenland&#8217;s defense, amounting to a &#8220;double digit billion amount&#8221; in krone, equivalent to at least $1.5bn. The investment package includes the procurement of two inspection ships, long-range drones, and additional dog sled teams, as well as bolstering staffing at Arctic Command in Nuuk and an upgrade for one of Greenland&#8217;s main civilian airports, <a href="http://Denmark Ramps Up Greenland's Defense Budget Amid Trump's Renewed Acquisition Interest In response to US President-elect Donald Trump's renewed interest in acquiring Greenland, the Danish government has significantly ramped up defense spending for the Arctic territory.

What Happened: As reported by a BBC article on Thursday, Danish Defence Minister Troels Lund Poulsen announced a substantial investment in Greenland's defense, amounting to a &quot;double digit billion amount&quot; in krone, equivalent to at least $1.5bn (£1.2bn). The investment package includes the procurement of two inspection ships, long-range drones, and additional dog sled teams, as well as increased staffing at Arctic Command in Nuuk and an upgrade for one of Greenland's main civilian airports.

Trump expressed on his social media platform, Truth Social, that the &quot;ownership and control of Greenland is an absolute necessity&quot; for the US. However, Greenland's Prime Minister Mute Egede responded, stating &quot;we are not for sale&quot;, but emphasized the importance of continued cooperation and trade. Analysts suggest that Denmark's defense boost has been under discussion for a while and should not be seen as a direct response to Trump's comments.

Trump Effect? Denmark Boosts Greenland's Defense Budget Amid President-Elect's Renewed Acquisition Interest

Mark Cuban took to the Bluesky platform on Dec. 1 to issue a dire warning about the future of housing affordability. His message? It's not interest rates that will be the top challenge for homeowners in the next few years – it's home insurance.
Cuban said:
"Home insurance in areas hit by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/10/41222716/as-florida-prepares-for-one-of-deadliest-hurricanes-here-are-some-potential-stock-winners-and-lo">repetitive disasters</a> will be the number one housing affordability issue over the next four years. And possibly going into the midterms. More so than interest rates.&nbsp;
Florida in particular is going to have huge problems."

</ul>
This comment wasn't made in a vacuum. Cuban was responding to a post by another Bluesky user, @AmyL, who painted a grim picture of the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/24/04/38046445/florida-governor-ron-desantis-raises-alarm-by-calling-citizens-insurance-not-solvent-as-an-explosive">housing market in Florida</a>:
"Here in Florida we have a housing crisis of our own – developers are building affordable homes all around, but many are <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/24/10/41353947/5-6-million-vacant-homes-in-america-are-we-misunderstanding-the-housing-crisis-experts-weigh-in">sitting empty</a> because people can't afford the necessary home insurance."
Cuban's concern is rooted in the growing number of natural disasters hitting regions like Florida, California and the Gulf Coast. Hurricanes, wildfires and flooding are becoming more frequent and severe, leading insurance companies to either raise premiums dramatically or pull out of these markets altogether.
See Also: These five entrepreneurs are worth $223 billion –<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/arrived-homes-private-credit-fund"> they all believe in one platform that offers a 7-9% target yield with monthly dividends</a>
Take Florida, for example. Once a haven for retirees and snowbirds, the state faces skyrocketing insurance premiums due to its vulnerability to hurricanes. Some insurers have stopped offering coverage, forcing homeowners to rely on state-backed programs that aren't always sufficient.
This has created a vicious cycle:
• Homes in disaster-prone areas are becoming increasingly expensive to insure.
• Without insurance, many prospective buyers are priced out, even if the home is "affordable."
• Meanwhile, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/09/40837523/suze-orman-isnt-wasting-money-on-insurance-for-her-condo-im-not-paying-28-000-a-year-when-the-in">property damage risks</a> remain high, discouraging investment and leaving homes empty.
It's not just Florida. Here are some areas in the U.S. known for frequent natural disasters – and the ripple effects they're experiencing:
1. California: Wildfires have devastated entire communities, leading to billions in damages and skyrocketing premiums.
2. Texas: Hurricanes, flooding and hailstorms make parts of the state a high-risk zone for insurers.
3. Louisiana: Like Florida, Louisiana is particularly vulnerable to hurricanes and rising sea levels.
4. Oklahoma: Tornadoes regularly wreak havoc, increasing home repair costs and insurance premiums.
5. Midwest States: Flooding from rivers like the Mississippi and Missouri has made some areas nearly uninsurable.

Cuban's prediction that home insurance will become a political issue makes sense. As premiums rise and insurers retreat, state and federal governments may have to step in to prevent housing markets in disaster-prone areas from collapsing.
But it's not just about legislation. This crisis is a wake-up call for how we handle climate change, urban planning and disaster preparedness. Without serious reforms, homeowners in high-risk areas might face an impossible choice: pay unaffordable premiums, go without insurance or leave their communities entirely.
Mark Cuban's warning highlights an often-overlooked <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/24/12/42572520/2025-housing-market-looks-like-a-year-of-struggle-for-states-like-builders-now-hold-record-inventory">aspect of the housing crisis</a>. While interest rates and rising home prices grab headlines, the real threat may come from something even harder to control: nature. For homeowners in places like Florida, the clock is ticking and the need for solutions has never been more urgent.
If you're considering buying property in a disaster-prone area, it's crucial to factor in the cost – and availability – of home insurance. But for savvy investors, this shifting landscape could be a unique opportunity. By focusing on rentals or REITs in safer regions, there's still a way to turn the challenges of today's housing market into a long-term advantage.

Marijuana Stock Movers For December 25, 2024

In the current market session, Portland Gen Electric Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/POR#NYSE">POR</a>) share price is at $43.71, after a 0.02% increase. Moreover, over the past month, the stock fell by 8.93%, but in the past year, spiked by 0.76%. Shareholders might be interested in knowing whether the stock is overvalued, even if the company is performing up to par in the current session. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1735155908_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>Portland Gen Electric P/E Ratio Analysis in Relation to Industry Peers</h3>
The P/E ratio measures the current share price to the company's EPS. It is used by long-term investors to analyze the company's current performance against it's past earnings, historical data and aggregate market data for the industry or the indices, such as S&amp;P 500. A higher P/E indicates that investors expect the company to perform better in the future, and the stock is probably overvalued, but not necessarily. It also could indicate that investors are willing to pay a higher share price currently, because they expect the company to perform better in the upcoming quarters. This leads investors to also remain optimistic about rising dividends in the future. 
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of the 24.36 in the Electric Utilities industry, Portland Gen Electric Inc. has a lower P/E ratio of 13.19. Shareholders might be inclined to think that the stock might perform worse than it's industry peers. It's also possible that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1735155908_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.

Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

(GEHC) - Analyzing GE HealthCare Techs's Short Interest

On Dec. 21, the U.S. Senate passed the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/11/42141974/house-passes-196-billion-social-security-bill-will-repealing-pension-reductions-shorten-the-programs-lifespan">Social Security Fairness Act</a>, a bipartisan bill to eliminate reductions in social security benefits for millions of Americans. With a vote of 76-20, the bill now heads to President Joe Biden's desk for final approval. This marks a significant milestone for retired educators, firefighters, police officers and government employees.&nbsp;
For decades, certain provisions have reduced <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/11/41882904/think-youll-get-full-social-security-missing-this-35-year-window-could-cost-you-thousands">Social Security payments</a> for retirees receiving public pensions. The Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP) and Government Pension Offset (GPO) were initially set to prevent overlapping benefits but have been widely criticized as unfair.&nbsp;

<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>
</ul>
"Millions of retired teachers, firefighters, letter carriers and state and local workers have waited decades for this moment," Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said on the Senate floor. "No longer will public retirees see their hard-earned Social Security benefits robbed, thanks to this bill."
Repealing the WEP and GPO will restore full <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/10/41210847/do-former-u-s-presidents-really-collect-social-security-the-surprising-truth-about-their-retirem">Social Security benefits</a> to nearly three million retirees nationwide. Advocates argue that these workers deserve the benefits they've contributed to throughout their careers.&nbsp;
"Everyone knows a teacher, firefighter, law enforcement officer, nurse or public worker who's paid into Social Security year after year, only to have their payments curbed by the Windfall Elimination Provision and Government Pension Offset when they retire," said Randi Weingarten, President, American Federation of Teachers.&nbsp;

Sen. Sherrod Brown of Ohio, a leading advocate for the bill, said Social Security is a bedrock of the American middle class that public workers pay into like anyone else and that the WEP and GPO restrictions make no sense. "These workers serve the public," he said, addressing the Senate. "They protect our communities. They teach our kids."
National organizations representing public workers have also praised the decision. Congresswoman Abigail Spanberger's website shares celebratory messages from those in the National Fraternal Order of Police, the International Association of Fire Fighters, the National Education Association and others.&nbsp;
Rebecca Pringle, president of the National Education Association, celebrated the bipartisan effort, saying, "Public service workers have been waiting 40 years for this wrong to be righted and we are grateful that members of Congress, in both the House and now the Senate, put aside partisan politics to come together and pass the Social Security Fairness Act."
Trending: Many are using retirement income calculators to check if they&#8217;re on pace —<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-do-i-calculate-my-retirement-income-adv"> here&#8217;s a breakdown on what&#8217;s behind this formula.</a>
While the legislation is celebrated for its fairness, not everyone agrees it is the right path forward. According to the Congressional Budget Office (CBO), repealing the WEP and GPO will add an estimated $195 billion to the federal deficit over the next decade. The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/09/40817544/report-warns-of-16-500-annual-social-security-benefit-cut-for-dual-income-couples-by-2033">Social Security Trust Funds</a>, already projected to be unable to pay full benefits starting in 2035, will see their insolvency date increased by about six months.
Critics of the bill, including Sen. Thom Tillis of North Carolina, expressed concerns about its long-term impact. "We caved to the pressure of the moment instead of doing this on a sustainable basis," he said. Others, like Sen. Rand Paul, proposed alternative solutions such as gradually raising the Social Security retirement age, though such amendments gained little support.
The bill now awaits President Biden's signature. Once enacted, it will provide immediate relief to retirees who have seen reduced benefits for years. Since the bill was set to apply to payments beginning January 2024, the CBO suggests that benefits owed before fiscal year 2025 may be paid retroactively.&nbsp;
This legislation represents a long-awaited victory for public service retirees and a step toward a fairer retirement system. Stay informed about updates on Social Security and other retirement-related news to plan for your future.

A Long-Awaited Victory: Public Workers Set To Receive Higher Social Security Benefits After Senate Passes Social Security Fairness Act

In the current market session, Dow Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DOW#NYSE">DOW</a>) price is at $40.09, after a 0.30% spike. However, over the past month, the stock fell by 8.76%, and in the past year, by 27.41%. Shareholders might be interested in knowing whether the stock is undervalued, even if the company is performing up to par in the current session.

<h3>A Look at Dow P/E Relative to Its 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. 
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of the 29.31 in the Chemicals industry, Dow Inc. has a lower P/E ratio of 26.65. Shareholders might be inclined to think that the stock might perform worse than it's industry peers. It's also possible that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1735153208_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.

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) announced that it will issue automatic payments this month to approximately 1 million <a href="https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/irs-announces-special-payments-going-this-month-to-1-million-taxpayers-who-did-not-claim-2021-recovery-rebate-credit-encourages-non-filers-about-approaching-deadline-to-claim-credits">taxpayers</a> who did not claim the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">2021 Recovery Rebate Credit</a>.
The total amount of payments is expected to be around $2.4 billion, with individual payments potentially reaching up to $1,400.
The payments, which are part of ongoing efforts to assist taxpayers, will be sent to individuals who were eligible for the Economic Impact Payments (EIPs) but did not claim them on their 2021 tax returns.
The Recovery Rebate Credit is a refundable credit for those who missed out on one or more of the stimulus payments.
These payments will be issued automatically, meaning no additional action is required from eligible taxpayers. The funds will be either direct deposited or sent as paper checks, with most payments arriving by late January 2025.

Eligible taxpayers will also receive a separate notification letter from the IRS confirming the payment.
The IRS also reminded taxpayers who haven't yet filed their 2021 tax returns that they may still be eligible for the credit if they file by the April 15, 2025, deadline.
The payments will go to those who filed a 2021 tax return but left the Recovery Rebate Credit field blank or entered $0 when they were actually qualified.
These automatic payments aim to simplify the process for eligible taxpayers, saving them from filing an amended return. Additionally, the IRS assured that the payments would not count as income when determining eligibility for federal benefits such as SSI, SNAP, and WIC. The IRS said it continues its efforts to help taxpayers access credits and deductions, including other coronavirus tax relief measures.

Payments of Up to $1,400 Coming for 1 Million Eligible Taxpayers, IRS Confirms

Taiwan&#8217;s Fair Trade Commission (FTC) has reportedly blocked Uber Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UBER#NYSE">UBER</a>) $950 million acquisition of Delivery Hero&#8217;s Foodpanda <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/05/38809280/uber-spices-up-taiwans-food-delivery-scene-with-950m-foodpanda-deal-whats-on-the-menu">business due to anti-competitive concerns.</a>
The merger, which was initially announced in May 2023, would have significantly increased Uber Eats&#8217; dominance in Taiwan&#8217;s food delivery market, giving the combined company over 90% of the market share, Reuters reports.
The FTC cited concerns that the merger would eliminate Foodpanda as Uber Eats&#8217; main competitor, reducing market pressure on the combined entity.
The commission argued that without this competition, Uber would have less incentive to keep prices low for consumers or commissions reasonable for restaurant partners.
With a huge market share, the merger could have led to higher prices and less choice for consumers, undermining the competitive landscape of Taiwan&#8217;s food delivery sector.
The deal was scrutinized by the FTC after Uber filed the application in November 2023. The commission stated that the merger&#8217;s negative effects would outweigh any economic benefits.

The FTC also noted that corrective measures would not be sufficient to address these concerns.
In response, Uber and Delivery Hero said they might appeal the decision or consider terminating the acquisition.
Uber was optimistic about the deal, as it had hoped the merger would help boost its delivery business by contributing $150 million annually to its adjusted core profit.
While online food delivery platforms in Taiwan account for a small fraction of the broader food delivery market, Foodpanda&#8217;s operations had reached breakeven in adjusted core earnings by March 2024.
The proposed merger was expected to be finalized in the first half of 2025, but now faces significant regulatory hurdles in Taiwan.
This decision highlights ongoing scrutiny of mergers in the tech and delivery sectors, as regulators assess their long-term impact on competition and consumers.
Price Action: UBER shares 0.26% to $61.71 on Tuesday, while shares fell by 0.07% after hours.

Uber's Foodpanda Acquisition Blocked in Taiwan Due to Competition Concerns

President-elect Donald Trump&#8217;s foreign policy rhetoric has recently shifted towards more aggressive stances, with controversial remarks about reclaiming the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42639737/trumps-call-to-reclaim-panama-canal-sparks-backlash-every-square-meter-belongs-to-panama-says-president-mulino" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Panama Canal and acquiring Greenland</a>.
While unlikely to result in actual territorial changes, these statements reflect Trump&#8217;s continued &#8220;America First&#8221; agenda, which emphasizes asserting U.S. interests on the global stage, BBC News <a target="_blank" href="https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c1lnzzd1zrmo" rel="noreferrer noopener">reports</a>.
Trump&#8217;s remarks about the Panama Canal, made during a conservative conference in Arizona, center around what he perceives as &#8220;unfair&#8221; fees imposed on U.S. ships using the waterway.
The U.S. controlled the Panama Canal until 1977, when it was handed over to Panama under a treaty.
However, Trump has now suggested that the canal should be returned to U.S. control if Panama continues to impose what he called &#8220;ridiculous&#8221; charges, particularly with China&#8217;s increasing presence in the region.

Here Is What You Can Trade Today</a>
China, the second-largest user of the canal after the U.S., has significant economic interests in Panama, which could pose security concerns for the U.S. in a future conflict.
Despite Trump&#8217;s claims, Panama&#8217;s President José Raúl Mulino has firmly rejected the notion, asserting that the canal is sovereign property of Panama.
Trump has also reiterated his 2019 desire to purchase Greenland, a Danish autonomous territory. He argues that Greenland&#8217;s strategic location in the Arctic and its natural resources are essential for U.S. national security. Though Greenland&#8217;s prime minister, Múte B. Egede, has rejected the idea, Trump&#8217;s public push continues.
The U.S. maintains a military base in Greenland, and Russia&#8217;s growing interest in the region adds to the geopolitical tension, BBC News adds.
While these comments might be seen as coercive, they highlight Trump&#8217;s focus on using U.S. power to safeguard its trade and security interests. It remains to be seen how these statements will affect U.S. foreign relations moving forward, especially with countries like Denmark and Panama.
