Houston American Energy shares are trading lower after the company announced a $4.42 million registered direct offering.

GE Aerospace (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GE#NYSE">GE</a>) will release its fourth-quarter financial results before the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/GE/earnings">opening bell on Thursday, Jan. 23</a>.
Analysts expect the Ohio-based company to report quarterly earnings at $1.04 per share, up from $1.03 per share in the year-ago period. GE Aerospace projects quarterly revenue of $9.47 billion, compared to $19.42 billion a year earlier, according to data from <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a>.
On Jan. 2, Deutsche Bank analyst Scott Deuschle maintained GE Aero with a Buy rating and lowered the price target from $235 to $228.
With the recent buzz around GE Aerospace, some investors may be eyeing potential gains from the company's dividends. As of now, GE Aerospace offers an annual dividend yield of 0.60%, which is a quarterly dividend amount of 28 cents per share ($1.12 a year).
To figure out how to earn $500 monthly from GE Aerospace, we start with the yearly target of $6,000 ($500 x 12 months).
Next, we take this amount and divide it by GE Aerospace's $1.12 dividend: $6,000 / $1.12 = 3,000 shares.
So, an investor would need to own approximately $1,004,438 worth of GE Aerospace, or 5,357 shares to generate a monthly dividend income of $500.
Assuming a more conservative goal of $100 monthly ($1,200 annually), we do the same calculation: $1,200 / $1.12 = 1,071 shares, or $200,813 to generate a monthly dividend income of $100.
Note that dividend yield can change on a rolling basis, as the dividend payment and the stock price both fluctuate over time.
The dividend yield is calculated by dividing the annual dividend payment by the current stock price. As the stock price changes, the dividend yield will also change.
For example, if a stock pays an annual dividend of $2 and its current price is $50, its dividend yield would be 4%. However, if the stock price increases to $60, the dividend yield would decrease to 3.33% ($2/$60).
Conversely, if the stock price decreases to $40, the dividend yield would increase to 5% ($2/$40).
Further, the dividend payment itself can also change over time, which can also impact the dividend yield. If a company increases its dividend payment, the dividend yield will increase even if the stock price remains the same. Similarly, if a company decreases its dividend payment, the dividend yield will decrease.
GE Price Action: Shares of GE Aerospace gained by 2.5% to close at $187.50 on Tuesday.

Carnival Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CCL#NYSE">CCL</a>) is charting a multi-year growth path and JPMorgan analyst Matthew R. Boss sees <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/cruise-lines">the cruise giant</a> setting sail for stronger returns in 2025 and beyond.
After an exclusive shipboard chat with Carnival's top brass, Boss highlights key catalysts that could drive the next leg of the stock's performance.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Growth Beyond The Horizon</h2>
CEO Josh Weinstein sees Carnival's diversified portfolio of eight brands as a key advantage over smaller peers, with Carnival and AIDA already surpassing 2019 performance metrics. The real opportunity? The remaining six brands, many still trailing pre-pandemic levels, are now under Weinstein's direct oversight after organizational shifts. With a focus on marketing and execution, management is counting on a strong 2025-2026 ramp-up.
While the industry worries about overcapacity, Carnival is taking a disciplined approach, adding just 0-1% annual capacity growth, well below the pre-pandemic 3%. With only 2-3% of global hotel stays coming from cruises, the U.S. and Canada remain a largely untapped market.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">AI, Yield Management &amp; A &#8216;Magic Kingdom&#8217; At Sea</h2>
Carnival's revenue play isn't just about record bookings, it's about smart pricing. Enter &#8216;YODA&#8217; the company's AI-driven yield management system, designed to maximize revenue. Early results look promising, with new-to-cruise guests up 13% year-over-year and repeat bookings climbing 10%.
Meanwhile, Carnival is expanding its strategic destination assets, with the upcoming Celebration Key, set to open in mid-2025. By 2030, the company aims to handle 11 million guests annually—nearly double the 6.5 million expected in 2024. Daily capacity across its destinations will rise to 95,000, rivaling the foot traffic of Disney's Magic Kingdom.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Balance Sheet Detox</h2>
Debt reduction remains a priority, with Carnival slashing $7.3 billion in debt since early 2023. Interest expenses are already down 15% year-over-year, with CFO David Bernstein targeting a return to sub-3.5x leverage by FY26, a significant improvement from 6.7x in FY23.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Industry Implications: FX, Fuel &amp; Competitive Positioning</h2>
While Carnival is executing its multi-year plan, foreign exchange and fuel volatility remain headwinds for the broader industry. JPMorgan has adjusted (lowered) its earnings models for key competitors Royal Caribbean Group (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RCL#NYSE">RCL</a>) and Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NCLH#NYSE">NCLH</a>) based on recent currency shifts and fuel cost increases. 
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Investor Takeaway</h2>
Carnival is more than 80% of the way to its <a href="https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/carnival-corporation--plc-reports-second-quarter-2023-earnings-and-sets-sights-on-2026-sea-change-program-301862616.html">SEA Change</a> transformation targets, with long-term return on invested capital (ROIC) expected to land "at least in the teens" by 2026. With disciplined growth, AI-driven revenue strategies, and a revamped balance sheet, Carnival looks well-positioned to navigate the next phase of industry expansion. 
Investors betting on the cruise rebound might find Carnival's multi-year story compelling, especially as it leans into pricing power, brand execution and strategic destinations.

Ormat Technologies Inc.

Under this agreement, Calpine Energy Solutions will purchase up to 15 megawatts (MW) of clean, renewable energy from the Mammoth 2 geothermal power plant located near Mammoth Lakes, California, to support demand within its retail portfolio.
Energy deliveries under the PPA are set to begin in the first quarter of 2027 and will replace the existing PPA with the Southern California Edison Company (SCE). Notably, the new PPA, which includes an increase in production capacity and a higher price point, highlights the tight supply-demand balance of carbon-differentiated electricity in California, driven by state Renewable Portfolio Standards (RPS) compliance needs and voluntary corporate demand.
