Why Selective Insurance Group Shares Are Trading Lower By Around 15%? Here Are Other Stocks Moving In Friday's Mid-Day Session

<a href="https://x.com/RepNancyMace/status/1814336275467448695" title="https://x.com/RepNancyMace/status/1814336275467448695">https://x.com/RepNancyMace/status/1814336275467448695</a>

Rep. Nancy Mace Post On X, "We've requested briefings from @CrowdStrike, @Microsoft and @CISACyber. We're also trying to determine the breadth of impact, especially across the federal government at this time. Cybersecurity and tech subcommittee on Oversight. Stay tuned."

Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro (D) said that both his administration and lawmakers would &#8220;come back and continue to fight&#8221; for legalization, referring to the exclusion of cannabis reform in the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/07/39776331/these-two-cannabis-stocks-face-setback-following-pennsylvania-budget-approval-what-you-need-to-k">recently signed budget legislation</a>.
During a <a href="https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=1479628103436767">press conference</a>, Shapiro reflected on the compromises made in the budget, emphasizing his continued belief in the reform&#8217;s potential benefits. 
Shapiro&#8217;s initial <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/02/36982547/pa-gov-wants-cannabis-legalized-its-time-to-catch-up-with-other-states-and-earn-250m-in-revenue-">budget proposal</a> in February included cannabis legalization, highlighting the revenue potential as neighboring states move ahead with the reform. He pointed out the financial opportunities, stating, &#8220;We're losing out on an industry that, once fully implemented, would bring in more than $250 million in annual revenue.&#8221;
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Lawmaker On Legalization Efforts</h4>
However, the path to legalization faces internal disagreements among Pennsylvania Democrats regarding the regulatory framework. Rep. Dan Frankel, a staunch advocate for marijuana legalization, acknowledged the lack of consensus on whether to adopt a traditional private model or a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/04/38448103/state-run-vs-private-pennsylvania-debates-transition-of-liquor-store-model-to-cannabis-distribut">state-controlled system</a> comparable to the alcohol industry.
Frankel noted that cannabis reform was not a focal point in the recent budget negotiations, expressing doubts about advancing legalization this year due to limited session days. Nevertheless, he remained optimistic about future discussions and Republican engagement on the matter.
Senate president pro tempore Kim Ward criticized the governor&#8217;s involvement. &#8220;It's a lot of show, but not a lot of ‘go,' as far as I'm concerned.&#8221; 
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Industry And Advocacy Group Weigh In</h4>
Meredith Buettner Schneider, executive director of the Pennsylvania Cannabis Coalition, expressed hope for legislative progress this fall. She emphasized the importance of the governor&#8217;s involvement. &#8220;[Shapiro] coming to the table over the next couple months would be really critical to getting something done.&#8221;
Amid legislative efforts, the Pennsylvania legislature inadvertently omitted medical marijuana dispensaries from a section providing tax relief for the cannabis industry in the budget bill. This error underscores the complex and often contentious nature of cannabis policy reform.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Projections And Future Outlook</h4>
A recent <a href="https://s43720.pcdn.co/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/FTI-PA-Adult-Use-Market-Economic-Impacts-06.17.2461.pdf">report</a> commissioned by activists projected that Pennsylvania could see up to $2.8 billion in adult-use marijuana sales in the first year of legalization, generating significant tax revenue and job creation. Sens. Sharif Street and Dan Laughlin stressed the importance of bipartisan cooperation to pass a legalization bill, advocating for the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/01/36620822/feds-finally-release-documents-confirming-recommendation-to-reschedule-cannabis-based-on-accepte">federal government&#8217;s proposed cannabis rescheduling rule</a> to be implemented swiftly.
In light of regional legalization dynamics and increasing public support, Pennsylvania&#8217;s journey toward marijuana reform continues to unfold. Lawmakers and advocates say they&#8217;re determined to achieve a consensus that balances regulatory considerations, economic opportunities and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/07/39708899/no-cannabis-legalization-in-pennsylvania-without-our-support-says-black-caucus-urging-for-restor">social equity</a>.

Gov Josh Shapiro Says He'll Push For Marijuana Legalization In Pennsylvania Despite Setbacks

Pentagon Says First F-35 Of New Deliveries Accepted On Friday

Despite recent layoffs in its Reality Labs division, Meta Platforms Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) is moving forward with ambitious plans for its virtual reality (VR) and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/arvr">augmented reality (AR) hardware. </a>
<a href="https://www.theinformation.com/articles/reality-comes-to-metas-reality-labs">According</a> to The Information, the company aims to release the Quest 4 in 2026, followed by a higher-end headset in 2027.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Quest 4 And High-End Headset Timelines</h3>
For the first time, specific timelines for these upcoming devices have surfaced. The Quest 4 is expected to come in two versions, internally referred to as &#8220;Pismo Low&#8221; and &#8220;Pismo High.&#8221; This bifurcation suggests Meta&#8217;s strategy to cater to both budget-conscious consumers and those seeking a premium VR experience.
The 2027 release, codenamed &#8220;La Jolla,&#8221; aims to position itself as a direct competitor to the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39747111/apples-vision-pro-struggles-to-find-its-killer-app-to-justify-3-500-price-tag-just-not-quite-hit-the">Apple Vision Pro.</a>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">AR Glasses And Design Challenges</h3>
Meta&#8217;s ambitions aren&#8217;t limited to VR headsets. The company is also planning to launch a pair of AR glasses featuring a genuine display. 
However, The Information&#8217;s report indicates that these glasses might face significant design hurdles. Unlike the lightweight Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses, the new AR glasses are expected to weigh around 70 grams and have a &#8220;bulky design&#8221; due to the integrated display.
This design challenge is a familiar one in the AR industry. Achieving a balance between wearability, battery life, and display performance remains a tough nut to crack. The report suggests that due to their bulkiness, these glasses may not carry the Ray-Ban branding, as Ray-Ban&#8217;s parent company, EssilorLuxottica, reportedly disapproves of the design.
Many companies have faced similar challenges in miniaturizing displays to create comfortable, stylish, and functional AR glasses. This difficulty has often been a significant barrier to widespread consumer adoption.

More Than $10M Bet On Appian? Check Out These 3 Stocks Insiders Are Buying

Northern Irish golf sensation Rory McIlroy has weathered a few missed putts lately. According to the Daily Mail, after a brief foray into divorce proceedings, McIlroy and his wife of seven years, Erica Stoll, have opted for reconciliation. This decision inadvertently exposed the golfer&#8217;s unexpected windfall in Florida's real estate market.

<li>Will the surge continue or decline on real estate prices?<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/realbricks"> People are finding out about risk-free real estate investing that lets you cash out whenever you want.</a></li>
</ul>
The couple&#8217;s Jupiter, Florida mansion, purchased for $11 million in 2012, has doubled in value to an estimated $22 million. The appreciation came during a tumultuous period for the McIlroys, culminating in a divorce filing on the eve of the PGA Championship in May, only to be dramatically withdrawn weeks later.
"There have been rumors about my personal life recently, which is unfortunate," McIlroy told The Guardian last month. "Over the past weeks, Erica and I have realized that our best future was as a family together."
The personal drama played out against McIlroy&#8217;s professional challenges, including a heartbreaking near-miss at the U.S. Open in Pinehurst. The golfer held a two-shot lead with four holes to play before stumbling to a second-place finish behind Bryson DeChambeau.
The 13,000-square-foot <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/24/06/39332812/they-broke-up-in-1989-but-now-his-ex-girlfriend-is-inheriting-his-1-million-retirement-account-after">residence — </a>on 2.4 acres of land — boasts nine bedrooms and ten bathrooms. Beyond its sheer size, the mansion has a luxury infinity pool, a games room, a tennis court, a home theater, and a recording studio. The property includes a state-of-the-art gym and a six-car garage. Its value has surged alongside the broader luxury real estate market in South Florida, a trend accelerated by the pandemic&#8217;s reshuffling of living preferences.
<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" />

<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" />
McIlroy&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/07/39694555/28-year-old-making-500-000-a-year-explains-to-dave-ramsey-his-fianc-es-rich-parents-want-him-to-">prenuptial agreement,</a> signed in 2017, reportedly allows him to retain ownership of the property and his golf fortune. The golfer&#8217;s attorney, Thomas Sasser, previously represented Tiger Woods in his 2010 divorce. Given Florida&#8217;s equitable distribution laws and the prenuptial agreement, legal experts suggested that McIlroy&#8217;s estimated $87 million in career earnings might not be seriously impacted if they were to get divorced. However, this isn&#8217;t the first time McIlroy&#8217;s personal life has crossed with his professional career. His past relationships, including those with childhood sweetheart Holly Sweeney and tennis star Caroline Wozniacki, ended abruptly, sometimes coinciding with major tournaments.
As McIlroy returns to competition at the Scottish Open, the golfer&#8217;s resilience, evident in his return to the links after the U.S. Open disappointment, seems to extend beyond the fairways. "I&#8217;ve shown my resilience over and over again in the last 17 years," McIlroy said in a recent statement, "and I will again."

<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/06/39135597/why-is-arm-holdings-stock-trading-higher-on-monday" rel="noreferrer noopener">At the Computex forum</a> in Taipei, Arm CEO Rene Haas said he expects 100 billion Arm devices worldwide to be AI-ready by the end of 2025.
Arm Holdings plans to showcase its AI chip in 2025 and launch it commercially by fall 2025.

AMD CFO Jean Hu recently suggested a potential entry into next-generation AI PCs.
Analysts remain optimistic about Arm Holdings, citing strong licensing interest and royalty potential as essential growth factors. They also highlight Arm&#8217;s opportunities in the AI and data center sectors.
Arm Holdings stock rose by 158% over the past 12 months as AI <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/06/39387100/whats-going-on-with-chipmaker-arm-holdings-stock" rel="noreferrer noopener">integrated into smartphones</a>.

Resources Connection (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/rgp#NYSE">RGP</a>) came out with quarterly earnings of $0.28 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.10 per share. This compares to earnings of $0.44 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.
This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of 180%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this consulting company would post a loss of $0.01 per share when it actually produced earnings of $0.17, delivering a surprise of 1,800%.
Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates four times.
Resources Connection, which belongs to the Zacks Staffing Firms industry, posted revenues of $148.2 million for the quarter ended May 2024, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 5.61%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $184.45 million. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates two times over the last four quarters.
The sustainability of the stock&#39;s immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management&#39;s commentary on the earnings call.
Resources Connection shares have lost about 22.6% since the beginning of the year versus the S&amp;P 500&#39;s gain of 17.2%.
What&#39;s Next for Resources Connection?
While Resources Connection has underperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors&#39; minds is: what&#39;s next for the stock?
There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company&#39;s earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately.
Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions.
Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for Resources Connection: mixed. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company&#39;s just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to perform in line with the market in the near future.
It will be interesting to see how estimates for the coming quarters and current fiscal year change in the days ahead. The current consensus EPS estimate is $0.22 on $153.24 million in revenues for the coming quarter and $1.01 on $659.69 million in revenues for the current fiscal year.
Investors should be mindful of the fact that the outlook for the industry can have a material impact on the performance of the stock as well. In terms of the Zacks Industry Rank, Staffing Firms is currently in the top 33% of the 250 plus Zacks industries. Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outperform the bottom 50% by a factor of more than 2 to 1.
One other stock from the same industry, Insperity, Inc. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/nsp#NYSE">NSP</a>), is yet to report results for the quarter ended June 2024.
This company is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.73 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +14.1%. The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has remained unchanged over the last 30 days.
Insperity, Inc.&#39;s revenues are expected to be $1.62 billion, up 2.2% from the year-ago quarter.

Resources Connection Beats Q4 Earnings and Revenue Estimates

Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich has been sentenced to 18 years in prison in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/evan-gershkovich">a Russian trial</a> denounced by his employer and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/joe-biden">President Joe Biden</a>.
What Happened: The Journal <a href="https://www.wsj.com/world/russia/evan-gershkovich-russia-trial-dbabd6e3?mod=evan_gershkovich_lead_pos1">reported</a> that Gershkovich, who was arrested in 2023, was sentenced by a Russian court to 18 years in prison following a secret trial. Russia accused the American-born journalist of espionage while providing no evidence. 
"This disgraceful, sham conviction comes after Evan has spent 478 days in prison, wrongfully detained, away from his family and friends, prevented from reporting, all for doing his job as a journalist,"&nbsp;Almar Latour, publisher of The Wall Street Journal, and Editor in Chief&nbsp;Emma Tucker&nbsp;said in a statement.&nbsp;"We will continue to do everything possible to press for Evan's release and to support his family."
Biden offered a similar rebuke of Russian authorities in a <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2024/07/19/statement-by-president-joe-biden-on-the-sentencing-of-wrongfully-detained-american-evan-gershkovich/">statement</a> published Friday.
&#8220;As I have long said and as the UN also concluded, there is no question that Russia is wrongfully detaining Evan. Journalism is not a crime,&#8221; the president said. &#8220;We will continue to stand strong for press freedom in Russia and worldwide, and stand against all those who seek to attack the press or target journalists.&#8221;
Why it Matters: John J. Sullivan, former ambassador to Russia, <a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/u-s-russia-rift-complicates-case-of-arrested-journal-reporter-585946be">told</a> the Journal that Gershgovich was likely detained as a preliminary move to set up a prisoner swap. 
A deal between the U.S. and Russia could bring Gershkovich home if the U.S. returns an imprisoned Russian. Russian President Vladimir Putin said that a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/06/39534917/american-reporter-accused-of-spying-goes-to-trial-in-russia-is-prisoner-swap-his-best-hope">deal could be made</a> in a February interview.
Tensions between Russia and the Western world have escalated since the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/russia-ukraine-war">country invaded Ukraine</a> in 2022.
The U.S. and Russia agreed to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/05/38619573/brittney-griners-memoir-testament-to-personal-resilience-russian-oppression-hits-bookshelves-may">a prisoner swap</a> that year; the U.S. exchanged Russian arms dealer Viktor Bout for <a href="https://www.state.gov/russias-continued-wrongful-detention-of-brittney-griner/">wrongfully detained</a> WNBA player Brittney Griner.
