Stocks That Hit 52-Week Lows On Wednesday

ISS A/S ADR

The CNN Money Fear and Greed index showed some easing in the fear level, while the index remained in the &#8220;Fear&#8221; zone on Thursday.
U.S. stocks settled mixed on Thursday, with the Dow Jones index closing slightly higher during the session. The market was shut on Wednesday for Christmas Day.
Month to date, the S&amp;P 500 gained 0.1%, while the Nasdaq has surged 4.2%, driven by significant gains in Tesla (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) and Apple (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>). The blue-chip Dow, however, fell around 3.5% during the month.
On the economic data front, U.S. initial jobless claims fell by 1,000 from the previous week to a reading of 219,000 during the second week of December, compared to market estimates of 224,000.
Most sectors on the S&amp;P 500 closed on a positive note, with healthcare, financial, and real estate stocks recording the biggest gains on Thursday. However, consumer discretionary and communication services stocks bucked the overall market trend, closing the session lower.
The Dow Jones closed higher by around 29 points to 43,325.80 on Thursday. The S&amp;P 500 fell 0.04% to 6,037.59, while the Nasdaq Composite slipped 0.05% at 20,020.36 during Thursday's session.
What is CNN Business Fear &amp; Greed Index?
At a current reading of 35.1, the index remained in the &#8220;Fear&#8221; zone on Thursday, versus a prior reading of 34.
The Fear &amp; Greed Index is a measure of the current market sentiment. It is based on the premise that higher fear exerts pressure on stock prices, while higher greed has the opposite effect. The index is calculated based on seven equal-weighted indicators. The index ranges from 0 to 100, where 0 represents maximum fear and 100 signals maximum greediness.

Dow Edges Higher In Thin Holiday Trading As Tesla, Apple Surge: Investor Sentiment Improves, But Greed Index Remains In 'Fear' Zone

Recent concerns have emerged regarding a potential slowdown in artificial intelligence (AI) investments by major U.S. tech giants, which could significantly impact the semiconductor industry.
What Happened: Doug Lefever, CEO of&nbsp;Advantest, a leading supplier of chip testing machines for&nbsp;Nvidia Corp.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), has voiced apprehensions about a possible decline in AI spending by prominent U.S. technology firms. Such a downturn could lead to major disruptions in the semiconductor supply chain, Financial Times <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/54c3d188-9c5d-4664-94c4-366207ef9aad">reported</a> on Friday.&nbsp;
Lefever pointed out that companies like&nbsp;Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>),&nbsp;Google&nbsp;by Alphabet Inc. (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>), and&nbsp;Microsoft Corp.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) have made substantial investments in data centers. A reduction in their spending could cause significant ripple effects due to the current market concentration. Lefever described the potential downturn as possibly &#8220;vicious&#8221; due to cyclical market dynamics.
Conversely, Lefever noted that demand for AI-enabled smartphones is currently sluggish but could surge if a breakthrough application arises. Such a development could lead to a rapid increase in smartphone replacements, significantly impacting the market.

Despite these challenges, Advantest remains a dominant player in the semiconductor testing market, with a substantial share and increasing demand for its high-end testing machines. The company has seen its share price soar, driven by the rising complexity and cost of semiconductor chips.
Why It Matters: The potential slowdown in AI investment is a critical concern for the semiconductor industry, which heavily relies on the continuous growth of AI technologies. Logan Weaver, CEO of Surmount AI, highlighted at <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/events/24/12/42268558/the-future-of-investing-with-ai-its-never-been-easier-to-manage-your-portfolio-says-expert">Benzinga&#8217;s Fintech Deal Day</a> how AI is transforming investment management, and empowering consumers with simplified portfolio management tools. This underscores the growing importance of AI in various sectors.
Meanwhile, Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co., emphasized that<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/24/12/42378125/jamie-dimon-internet-bubble-was-hype-artificial-intelligence-is-real"> AI is not just hype </a>but a real phenomenon with the potential to benefit numerous aspects of life.

Key Nvidia Supplier Warns AI Spending Slowdown May Trigger 'Vicious' Downturn For Chipmakers

Zeta Global Holdings Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ZETA#NYSE">ZETA</a>), a marketing technology company specializing in AI-powered marketing solutions has outperformed the NYSE Composite index in 2024, while its peers have underperformed the market. Based on its fundamental and technical analysis, should you buy, sell, or hold the stock? Here&#8217;s what analysts are saying. 
Shares of Zeta were up 1.23% at $18.97 per share as of Thursday&#8217;s close. The stock was up 125.83% this year outperforming NYSE Composite, which rose by 14.98%.
Its peers, Freshworks Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FRSH#NASDAQ">FRSH</a>) was down 27.26%, and Temenos ADR (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TMSNY#OTC">TMSNY</a>) was down 21.52% in the same period.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/27010414/Zeta-peer-comparison--1024x576.png" alt="" class="wp-image-708544" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/27010414/Zeta-peer-comparison--1024x576.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/27010414/Zeta-peer-comparison--300x169.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/27010414/Zeta-peer-comparison--768x432.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/27010414/Zeta-peer-comparison--1536x864.png 1536w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/27010414/Zeta-peer-comparison-.png 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></a></figure>
The technical analysis of daily moving averages indicates a short-term bearish trend.
The stock ended at $18.97 apiece on Thursday. This was below its eight and 50-day simple moving average of $19.52 and $21.69, respectively. However, as per <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a> data, its current stock price was also lower than the 50-day moving average of $24.42, and its 200-day moving average of $24.42.
This implies that the stock is in a downtrend. On the other hand, the relative strength index of 38.38 suggests the stock&#8217;s movement is moderately oversold but still in the neutral zone.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Two Of Zeta&#8217;s Clients Merge</h3>
Zeta Global stands to benefit from Omnicom&#8217;s acquisition of Interpublic. David A. Steinberg, the co-founder, chairman, and CEO of Zeta, in a statement on Dec. 9 said that &#8220;We are proud of our extensive relationships with the top Holdcos, including both Omnicom and IPG, and believe that today's announcement is a positive one for the industry and Zeta. Like everyone else, we will be watching closely as this progresses and offer support as needed.&#8221;

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">New Acquisition By Zeta</h3>

The integration of LiveIntent into the ZMP will expand gross margins while accelerating the shift of our revenue derived from agency customers to direct channels,&#8221; added Steinberg in a statement dated Oct. 8, 2024.

What Are Analysts Saying: According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com">Benzinga</a>, Zeta has a consensus &#8216;hold&#8217; with a price target of $32.59 based on the ratings of 17 analysts.
The highest price target out of all the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ZETA/analyst-ratings">analysts</a> tracked by Benzinga is $45 issued by Craig-Hallum with a &#8216;buy&#8217; rating on Nov. 12, 2024. Analyst Jason Kreyer highlights Zeta Global&#8217;s strong performance, driven by the successful LiveIntent acquisition and cross-selling opportunities. Analyst is positive on the deepening penetration within the existing $100 billion plus customer base by replicating successful high-spend customer relationships.
Goldman Sachs analyst Gabriela Borges initiated coverage on Zeta with a &#8216;neutral&#8217; rating and announced a price target of $30 apiece. The note highlighted key medium-term risks. Including a possibility of its proprietary data&#8217;s value erosion as data accessibility and evolving consumer preferences may diminish, requiring continuous innovation. Strong 2024 performance, partly driven by one-time events, may make year-over-year comparisons challenging in 2025. Also, according to the analyst stricter privacy laws pose a long-term risk to Zeta&#8217;s data-driven business model, as evidenced by recent underperformance amid industry scrutiny.
The lowest target price was maintaining a &#8216;neutral&#8217; from Credit Suisse was adjusted to $9.5 from $12 per share on Aug. 4, 2022. The average price target of $38.67 between Goldman Sachs, RBC Capital, and Needham implies a 105.13% upside for Zeta.

Zeta Global Shares Beat Peers To Rise 125% In 2024: Breaking Down The Numbers

Chinese EV giant BYD Co Ltd (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDY#OTC">BYDDY</a>) is reportedly offering discounts of up to 11.5% on its Song Pro DM-i and Qin Plus EV vehicle models.
What Happened: The Song Pro DM-i and the Qin Plus EV now have a starting price of 99,800 yuan, marking a discount of 11.5% and 9.1% from their price before the discount, Reuters reported. The discount is valid until Jan. 26.
BYD is China&#8217;s biggest EV seller and a major rival to American EV giant Tesla Inc. However, unlike Tesla, BYD makes both plug-in hybrid and battery electric vehicles, together referred to as new energy vehicles. 
Why It Matters: In the last quarter of 2023, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42680542/tesla-or-byd-which-ev-giant-will-sell-more-battery-electric-vehicles-in-q4">BYD sold 526,409 battery electric vehicles</a>, effectively replacing Tesla as the world's biggest seller of BEVs. Tesla in that quarter delivered just 484,507 units.
Tesla regained its position as the world's top seller of BEVs in the first quarter after selling 386,810 BEVs, 86,696 units more than BYD. Tesla kept up its lead in both Q2 and Q3. 
While it is unclear who will take the lead in the fourth quarter, both are trying to entice buyers with offers. Tesla is currently offering a discount of 10,000 yuan on the purchase of inventory <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/12/42681583/chinas-ev-industry-likely-to-outpace-us-and-allies-but-elon-musks-tesla-could-still-make-gains">Model Y vehicles in China</a>, its second-biggest market outside the U.S.

Nio Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NIO#NYSE">NIO</a>) brand Onvo said on Friday that it has delivered <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/24/12/42681165/nios-onvo-brand-helps-spur-delivery-growth-with-cheaper-offering">20,000 units of its L60 SUV</a> within 100 days of commencing deliveries. 
What Happened: Onvo made the announcement via a post on the social media platform Weibo. 
Nio launched its family-oriented lower-priced EV brand Onvo in May this year. The company launched the L60 SUV on Sept. 19 and started deliveries on Sept. 28.
Now, merely a hundred days after launch, the company delivered 20,000 units.
The Onvo L60 is a mid-size electric SUV that starts at 206,900 yuan ($28,347) with the battery pack included, much lower than Tesla's affordable models Model 3 or Model Y in China.
Why It Matters: In September, Nio delivered 832 Onvo L60s despite having only a few selling days. In October, the first full month of sales, Onvo deliveries rose to 4,319. In November, L60 deliveries rose to 5,082. 
This implies that Onvo has sold 9,767 units of the L60 thus far in December, marking its highest monthly delivery total to date.
Nio, the company&#8217;s premium EV brand, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42260165/li-auto-xpeng-nio-heres-how-november-deliveries-of-chinese-ev-startups-stack-up">delivered just 15,493 vehicles in November</a> despite its longer lineup. Onvo, meanwhile, is closing in 10,000 deliveries in a month with just one vehicle model. At the current pace, Onvo is likely to take over Nio as the parent company&#8217;s best-selling brand.

Strive Asset Management, a company co-founded by Vivek Ramaswamy, announced plans for an exchange-traded fund on Thursday that would seek exposure to convertible securities issued by companies investing in Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>).
What Happened: The proposed ETF, named the Strive Bitcoin Bond ETF, aims to expose investors to the growing &#8220;Bitcoin bond&#8221; market, leveraged by companies like MicroStrategy Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>) to fund Bitcoin acquisitions, an SEC <a href="https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1592900/000159290024002726/strivebitcoinbondetf485a.htm">filing </a>showed.
&#8220;Under normal circumstances, at least 80% of the notional exposure of the Fund (through securities and financial instruments) will be to Bitcoin Bonds,&#8221; the filing read.
Strive said that the fund will treat convertible debt as equity securities, despite the instruments having some attributes of debt securities.

Why It Matters: The filing comes amid a growing trend of companies issuing convertible bonds to support their Bitcoin purchase strategy. Michael Saylor-led MicroStrategy has been the market leader, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/11/42186167/michael-saylors-microstrategy-convertible-notes-to-buy-bitcoin-offer-no-interest-so-why-are-investors-rushing-to-buy-them">issuing these bonds at 0% interest</a>.
A convertible note is a hybrid instrument that can be exchanged for equity in the company at a later date. The conversion feature of these notes eventually helps the debt holders to benefit from the equity upside on conversion. 
The strategy has drawn a fair share of criticism, with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42228264/crypto-analyst-flags-convertible-debt-induced-liquidation-risk-to-michael-saylors-microstrategy">analysts pointing out the risks</a> of debt buyers not converting to shares before maturity.
Meanwhile, popular cryptocurrency analyst James Van Straten noted that Strive&#8217;s filing meant &#8220;more vested interest&#8221; for Bitcoin to do well under the Trump administration.
