The Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in FLexible EXchange Options (FLEX Options) that reference the iShares MSCI EAFE ETF (the Underlying ETF). FLEX Options are exchange-traded option contracts with uniquely customizable terms. Although guaranteed for settlement by the Options Clearing Corporation (the OCC), FLEX Options are still subject to counterparty risk with the OCC and may be less liquid than more traditional exchange-traded option contracts. Due to the unique mechanics of the Funds strategy, the return an investor can expect to receive from an investment in the Fund has characteristics that are distinct from many other investment vehicles. It is important that an investor understand these characteristics before making an investment in the Fund.

Tesla Earnings Are Imminent; These Most Accurate Analysts Revise Forecasts Ahead Of Earnings Call

Herc Holdings Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HRI#NYSE">HRI</a>) reported second-quarter FY24 sales growth of 6% year-on-year to $848 million, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/07/b39901322/herc-holdings-reports-first-half-2024-results-and-reaffirms-2024-full-year-guidance" rel="noreferrer noopener">beating the analyst consensus estimate of $832.02 million.</a>
The revenue growth was due to an increase in equipment rental revenue of $63 million, reflecting positive pricing of 3.5% and increased volume of 6.4%.
Total expenses for the quarter increased 8% to $755 million. Adjusted EBITDA increased 2%, with the adjusted EBITDA margin compressing to 42.5%.
Adjusted EPS of $2.60 <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings" rel="noreferrer noopener">missed the analyst consensus estimate of $2.91</a>.
Herc held $70 million in cash and equivalents as of June-end, with a total fleet of approximately $6.7 billion at OEC.&nbsp;
Operating cash flow for six months totaled $558 million, and the free cash flow was $148 million.
&#8220;Overall, our record&nbsp;second quarter&nbsp;revenue results came in according to our expectations. However, while national mega projects are on plan, we saw a greater deceleration in the local market&#8217;s growth trajectory versus our forecast, primarily driven by the persistently higher interest-rate environment,&#8221; said President and CEO Larry Silber.
Outlook Reaffirmed: Herc affirmed its FY24 equipment rental revenue growth guidance of 7% &#8211; 10% and adjusted EBITDA of $1.55 billion &#8211; $1.60 billion.
Price Action: HRI shares are trading higher by 2.20% at $147.44 on the last check Tuesday.

Alibaba Group Holding Ltd (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>) is introducing free overseas shipping on apparel orders through its flagship retail platform, Taobao, in a strategic move to compete with cross-border e-commerce rivals PDD Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PDD#NASDAQ">PDD</a>) Temu and Shein.
The program will start on August 3 and initially target shoppers in Singapore, Malaysia, South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macao, Nikkei Asia <a target="_blank" href="https://asia.nikkei.com/Business/Retail/Alibaba-s-Taobao-takes-on-Temu-Shein-with-free-overseas-shipping#:~:text=Alibaba's%20Taobao%20takes%20on%20Temu%2C%20Shein%20with%20free%20overseas%20shipping,-Chinese%20platform%20aims&amp;text=HONG%20KONG%20%2D%2D%20Taobao%2C%20the,commerce%20rivals%20Temu%20and%20Shein." rel="noreferrer noopener">reports</a>.
Taobao plans to expand the program to additional Asian markets by the end of the year and is actively encouraging more merchants to participate.

A senior manager at the company described the initiative as Taobao&#8217;s most strategic change this year.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="750" height="650" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/23035130/newplot-1-12.png" alt="" class="wp-image-450458" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/23035130/newplot-1-12.png 750w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/23035130/newplot-1-12-300x260.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px" /></figure>
It aims to address high return rates for apparel, particularly women&#8217;s clothing ordered during live-streaming events.
The new program will cover return costs, with items sent back to Taobao&#8217;s overseas warehouses, reducing the risk for sellers.
&#8220;Intense competition across various industries in China has resulted in low-profit margins for businesses, so we are helping some of the top-notch merchants on Taobao to explore overseas markets,&#8221; the senior manager said.
Taobao will subsidize shipping costs, requiring merchants to ship items only to Taobao&#8217;s warehouse in China. Alibaba&#8217;s logistics arm, Cainiao, will handle the remaining logistics.
Alibaba has lost nearly 21% in the last 12 months as it battled domestic e-commerce rivalry and strives to accomplish its artificial intelligence ambitions amid <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/07/39810709/whats-going-on-with-alibaba-and-peer-chinese-stocks-on-wednesday" rel="noreferrer noopener">U.S. sanctions on</a> China&#8217;s access to advanced semiconductor technologies.

Ahead of second-quarter financial results, a Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) analyst says investors aren't focused on earnings, but rather what comes next <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/07/39892255/tesla-q2-earnings-preview-analyst-estimates-key-items-to-watch-can-major-turning-po">after Tuesday's report.</a>
The Tesla Analyst: Guggenheim analyst Ronald Jewsikow reiterated a Sell rating on Tesla and $134 price target.
The Analyst Takeaways: Investors will be focused on what comes next for Tesla and not the past earnings, Jewsikow said.

The analyst said Tesla delaying the robotaxi event from Aug. 8 will be top of mind for investors.
"With the planned 8/8 event now formally delayed, investors will look for color on the new timeline, what to expect at the event and more details on the delay," Jewsikow said.
The delay in the Robotaxi event has led to investors seeing the segment as less actionable, according to the report.
The analyst said 2024 volume guidance could also be a key item to watch in the earnings report.
"We don't believe guiding for y/y volume growth is realistic, but we do not see CEO Elon Musk indicating negative volume growth as his forecast."
China and market share in the country could also be a key focus in the earnings report, the analyst said.
"How does TSLA return to growth with so much competitively priced product in China?"
The analyst expects Tesla to beat earnings per share estimates and miss on automotive gross margins (ex-credits) due to "large discounting actions."
Jewsikow currently ascribes no value to robotaxis, robots, artificial intelligence or insurance when forecasting a price target on Tesla.
TSLA Price Action: Tesla shares are down 1% to $249.25 on Tuesday versus a 52-week trading range of $138.80 to $278.98. Tesla stock is up 0.3% year-to-date in 2024, after gaining over 30% in the past month, as seen on the<a href="http://www.benzinga.com/pro/register/?utm_source=BZprocontent072324&amp;t=be2bearmibe3na1"> Benzinga Pro chart</a> below.

Did you know that residential fires in the USA cost $10.8 billion in 2022 alone? A new hempcrete wall product, recently rated for one-hour fire resistance, could help reduce these staggering losses.
<h2>Americhanvre Cast Hemp Achieves Milestone</h2>
A wall product produced by Americhanvre Cast Hemp using easy spray<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/22/02/25762696/is-hempcrete-the-new-green-construction-material-it-could-soon-be-approved-as-just-that">&nbsp;hempcrete</a> has received a one-hour fire resistance rating from ASTM International. In a July 15 Facebook <a href="https://www.facebook.com/Americhanvre/posts/pfbid02pHmNFYmkWfGFJSVD6UqNU2oaW8nrJfJ8HSXtvEd9Bx3P465SKjffkSC7aYhUyoBjl">post</a>, the&nbsp;Pennsylvania-based company announced it is &quot;the first time a full-scale ASTM E119 test has been performed on a hempcrete wall section.&quot;
<h3>House Fires In The USA</h3>
In 2022, there were 374,300 residential building fires in the USA, resulting in 2,720 deaths, 10,250 injuries, and $10.8 billion in property losses. Over ten years (2013-2022), the USFA reported residential fires decreased by 4%, while deaths increased by 1%. Cooking was the leading cause of home fires in 2022, <a href="https://www.usfa.fema.gov/statistics/residential-fires/">accounting for</a> 47.5% of incidents.
<h2>Understanding The ASTM E119 Test</h2>
The <a href="https://www.astm.org/e0119-20.html">ASTM E119 test </a>evaluates how long building elements can contain a fire and retain structural integrity during a predetermined test exposure. Americhanvre noted that this successful test could unlock larger-scale commercial projects for the Ereasy system in the United States.

<h3>Test Details And Results</h3>
The product tested was a 12-inch-thick wall assembly using the Ereasy <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/hempcrete">hempcrete system</a>, with lime plaster on both faces. The panel remained undamaged through a one-hour firing at 1700 degrees Fahrenheit and a subsequent hose stream test. It did not rise above ambient temperature, as calculated by Verdant Structural.
<h3>Future Implications For Hempcrete</h3>
In 2023, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/02/37271000/u-s-army-invests-1-9m-to-develop-hemp-manufactured-buildings-for-military-operations">hempcrete</a> was approved as a non-structural wall infill system for the model U.S. residential building code by the International Code Council. The International Building Code might consider <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/hemp">hempcrete</a> for commercial projects next year.
<h3>Significance Of The ASTM E119 Test</h3>
The ASTM E119 test measures the fire resistance of building materials by exposing them to controlled fire conditions. It assesses how long materials can contain a fire and maintain structural integrity. This test includes applying a standard fire hose stream to evaluate the material&#39;s resistance to both fire and water, crucial for predicting performance in real-world scenarios.
