If You Invested $100 In This Stock 5 Years Ago, You Would Have This Much Today

It's a mixed session on Wall Street, with major indices struggling for direction as investors hold their breath ahead of a key jobs report <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets">set for Friday morning.</a>
The S&amp;P 500 and the Nasdaq 100 edged up 0.3%, while the Dow Jones slipped 0.1% and small caps held steady.
Among the leading sectors, financial stocks outperformed after the Fed released the framework for 2025 bank stress test. The big six banks — JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>), Bank of America Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAC#NYSE">BAC</a>), Wells Fargo &amp; Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WFC#NYSE">WFC</a>), Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GS#NYSE">GS</a>), Morgan Stanley (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MS#NYSE">MS</a>), and Citigroup (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/C#NYSE">C</a>) — all climbed more than 1%, with Citigroup surging 2.9%.
Eli Lilly Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LLY#NYSE">LLY</a>) jumped 3.2% after topping earnings estimates, while Tapestry Inc.

(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PM#NYSE">PM</a>) skyrocketed nearly 10% on strong revenue figures. In contrast, Qualcomm (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QCOM#NASDAQ">QCOM</a>) slid 4.3% on concerns over slowing smartphone demand.

Oil prices had a volatile session. Crude initially dipped as speculation mounted over a potential Trump-Putin meeting as early as this month or next, raising hopes for possible peace talks in Ukraine. Prices rebounded after the U.S. Treasury imposed sanctions on Iran's oil network.
Gold softened, dropping 0.6% from record highs and snapping a five-session winning streak.
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) remained stable, hovering just below $97,000.

(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SLB#NYSE">SLB</a>) to establish a Carbon Capture and Storage (<a target="_blank" href="https://www.aramco.com/en/news-media/news/2024/aramco-linde-and-slb-sign-shareholders-agreement-for-one-of-the-largest-ccs-hubs-globally" rel="noreferrer noopener">CCS</a>) hub, which is set to become one of the largest in the world.
Aramco will hold a 60% equity stake in the project, while Linde and SLB will each own 20%.
The CCS hub represents a pivotal step in Aramco&#8217;s emissions mitigation strategy.
Phase one of the hub in Jubail, Eastern Province, Saudi Arabia, aims to capture and store up to nine million metric tons of CO2 annually, with construction slated for completion by the end of 2027.
Future phases are expected to further increase capacity, aligning with Aramco&#8217;s goal of achieving net-zero Scope 1 and 2 emissions across its wholly-owned operated assets by 2050.
Ashraf Al Ghazzawi, Aramco EVP of Strategy &amp; Corporate Development, said,&nbsp;&#8220;Aramco&#8217;s collaboration with SLB and Linde demonstrates the importance of global partnerships in driving technological innovation, reducing emissions from conventional energy sources and enabling new, lower-carbon energy solutions. This CCS hub is among several programs that will enable us to meet rising demand for affordable, reliable, and more sustainable energy.&#8221;
Oliver Pfann, Linde EVP EMEA, stated, &#8220;Carbon capture and sequestration is essential for achieving the Kingdom&#8217;s emission reduction targets. Linde is proud to collaborate with Aramco and SLB, contributing Linde&#8217;s innovative technology and experience in delivering world-scale decarbonization projects.&#8221;

On CNBC's &#8220;Mad Money Lightning Round,&#8221; Jim Cramer recommended buying Symbotic (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SYM#NYSE">SYM</a>). He added, &#8220;This is a very hot sector. The good news here, this company <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/SYM/earnings">does make money.&#8221;</a>
On Nov. 18, Symbotic reported quarterly earnings of five cents per share, which beat the analyst consensus estimate of three cents. Quarterly revenue came in at $576.76 million, which beat the analyst consensus estimate of $470.27 million and is an increase over sales of $391.88 million from the same period last year.
When asked about Tetra Tech, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TTEK#NASDAQ">TTEK</a>), he said, &#8220;I didn't think the quarter was that bad. I actually am inclined to buy, not sell TTEK.&#8221;
On Nov. 13, Tetra Tech reported worse-than-expected fourth-quarter EPS results.
Linde plc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LIN#NASDAQ">LIN</a>) is a &#8220;terrific&#8221; company, Cramer said. &#8220;It is not a speculative stock, it is a very good company.&#8221;
On Oct. 31, Linde reported third-quarter financial results and issued FY24 adjusted EPS guidance below estimates.
&#8220;This stock has been pretty much straight up, and, you know what, it's not done,&#8221; Cramer said when asked about Brookfield Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BN#NYSE">BN</a>). Shares are up over 75% in the past year.
On Nov. 14, Brookfeld reported better-than-expected third-quarter adjusted EPS results
