Fans of global superstar Beyoncé who missed her Christmas Day NFL halftime performance, or want to relive the moment, are in for a treat. Netflix Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>) is set to feature one of the standout moments from its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/sports/24/12/42512587/netflix-analyst-say-its-only-investable-media-stock-projects-150-million-nfl-christmas-day-boost">debut NFL game streams.</a>
What Happened: For the first time ever, Netflix <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42653325/exclusive-netflix-to-have-merry-christmas-with-nfl-games-will-viewers-tune-in-60-say">streamed two live</a> NFL games on Christmas Day. The games, which are part of a three-year deal, saw Netflix as the exclusive home of the Kansas City Chiefs at Pittsburgh Steelers and Baltimore Ravens at Houston Texans matchups on Wednesday.
Beyoncé <a href="https://about.netflix.com/en/news/beyonce-delivers-epic-gift-of-a-halftime-performance-beyonce-bowl-is-coming">performed </a>a 12-minute set during halftime of the Ravens and Texans game, which took place in her hometown of Houston.
Being labeled the "Beyoncé Bowl" by Netflix, the halftime performance featured the first-ever live performances of songs from the singer's "Cowboy Carter" album.
The performance featured guest appearances by Shaboozey, Post Malone and Beyoncé's daughter Blue Ivy Carter.
Netflix announced that "Beyoncé Bowl" will be released as a standalone special on the streaming platform later this week.
The streaming company did not provide an exact date or additional details on whether the special would just be the halftime performance or include behind-the-scenes or additional footage.

Why It's Important: Netflix appears poised to leverage the star power of one of the world's most popular singers, featured during halftime of its inaugural Christmas Day NFL games.
Beyoncé previously performed at halftime of Super Bowl XLVII in 2013, a performance that featured her Destiny's Child bandmates Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams, and in 2016 with Coldplay and Bruno Mars at Super Bowl 50. Both halftime performances rank among the most watched in NFL history. &nbsp;
The singer teased that there is more coming from her next month. An Instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DEBPJl1yvvp/">post </a>featured Beyoncé on a horse with an American flag and ends with the screen showing the date of Jan. 14, 2025.
While the teaser post may not be in relation to Netflix, the streaming company has more coming from Beyoncé.
The singer and streamer signed a $60 million <a href="https://variety.com/2019/music/news/beyonce-netflix-deal-1203193729/">deal </a>in 2019, which included "Homecoming," a documentary concert film about the singer's 2018 Coachella performance.
Several reports suggest that the NFL Christmas Day performance and subsequent "Beyoncé Bowl" release are the second of the three projects, leaving one more Netflix special coming from the global superstar.
NFLX Price Action: Netflix stock is down 1.2% to $920.78 on Monday versus a 52-week trading range of $461.86 to $941.75. Netflix stock is up 97% year-to-date in 2024.

WiMi Hologram Cloud Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WIMI#NASDAQ">WIMI</a>) shares are <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/12/n42686949/wimi-develops-a-quantum-technology-based-random-access-memory-architecture" rel="noreferrer noopener">trading higher on Thursday.</a>
The firm has announced the development of a Quantum Technology-Based Random Access Memory Architecture, known as QRAM.
QRAM combines quantum logic gates such as the CNOT gate, V gate, and V+ gate to perform logical operations like AND, OR, NOT, and NOR within quantum systems, harnessing quantum properties like superposition and entanglement for enhanced computational efficiency.
Unlike traditional RAM, which operates sequentially, QRAM leverages quantum superposition to enable parallel data access, significantly speeding up operations.

Quantum entanglement further improves efficiency by allowing multiple qubits to be correlated without direct communication, resulting in faster data transfer and processing. This design dramatically enhances computational performance, especially for large-scale tasks like molecular simulations and complex optimizations.
WiMi's QRAM architecture also integrates a quantum error correction mechanism, which ensures that qubit states remain stable and accurate during data read and write operations. This feature is crucial for maintaining reliability in quantum computing systems, where external disturbances can easily cause errors.
The QRAM system is highly compatible with quantum processing units, enabling smooth data transmission between memory and processors, which optimizes overall computational efficiency. With its ability to handle large datasets, QRAM is poised to advance quantum machine learning and quantum encryption applications, providing faster training and secure data transmission.
WiMi&#8217;s development of QRAM marks a significant step forward in quantum technology, setting the stage for a future where quantum computers play a crucial role in solving complex real-world problems.
Price Action: WIMI shares are trading higher by 13.3% to $1.27 at last check Thursday.

Dow Gains 50 Points, SEALSQ Shares Plummet

Mark Zuckerberg recently shared a glimpse into his personal and professional life through a lighthearted Instagram video posted by the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative. While the video focused on the couple&#8217;s nonprofit work and fun personal anecdotes, many viewers couldn't help but notice the stunning watch on Zuckerberg's wrist – a Patek Philippe Grand Complications 5303R in 18k rose gold, worth a jaw-dropping $1.2 million.

</ul>
This luxurious timepiece isn't just an accessory; it's a masterpiece of craftsmanship. The Patek Philippe Minute Repeater Skeleton 5303R is a rare creation that puts its intricate mechanics on full display. The watch's standout feature is its open sapphire dial, where you can see the hammers and gongs of the minute repeater in action – essentially, the watch chimes the time in an audible format. Its rose-gold case, paired with white-gold decorative details and a black alligator leather strap, makes it as much a work of art as it is an engineering feat.
In the <a href="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DDpSq-DRpxb/">video</a>, Zuckerberg and his wife, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/08/40411578/meta-ceo-mark-zuckerberg-commissions-statue-of-wife-priscilla-chan-sparks-online-buzz-bring">Priscilla Chan</a>, answered rapid-fire questions while offering a glimpse into their daily life. From sharing their favorite school subjects (Zuckerberg loves coding, biology and math) to talking about making homemade ice cream (from their own dairy cow, no less) with their kids. Zuckerberg even joked about losing a pair of mittens Chan made for him when they were teenagers.

Zuckerberg highlighted their potential to help people live healthier lives, showcasing the couple's commitment to merging technology and philanthropy.
While the video celebrated the couple's efforts to advance education, health care and scientific research, Zuckerberg's growing watch collection caught some extra attention. Known for his simple wardrobe, his taste in watches is anything but basic. The Patek Philippe 5303R, originally retailing for $720,000, now commands an average selling price of $1.2 million. It joins other high-end pieces in Zuckerberg's collection, like the Bulgari Octo Finissimo Ultra COSC, which was spotted on his wrist earlier this year.

Mark Zuckerberg Talks Non-Profit Achievements While Displaying A $1.2 Million Patek Philippe Watch

In the current market session, L3Harris Technologies Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LHX#NYSE">LHX</a>) share price is at $213.79, after a 0.22% spike. Moreover, over the past month, the stock decreased by 13.18%, but in the past year, went up by 1.51%. Shareholders might be interested in knowing whether the stock is overvalued, even if the company is performing up to par in the current session. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1735232408_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>Comparing L3Harris Technologies P/E Against Its Peers</h3>
The P/E ratio is used by long-term shareholders to assess the company's market performance against aggregate market data, historical earnings, and the industry at large. A lower P/E could indicate that shareholders do not expect the stock to perform better in the future or it could mean that the company is undervalued. 
L3Harris Technologies has a lower P/E than the aggregate P/E of 71.42 of the Aerospace &amp; Defense industry. Ideally, one might believe that the stock might perform worse than its peers, but it's also probable that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1735232408_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In summary, while the price-to-earnings ratio is a valuable tool for investors to evaluate a company's market performance, it should be used with caution. A low P/E ratio can be an indication of undervaluation, but it can also suggest weak growth prospects or financial instability. Moreover, the P/E ratio is just one of many metrics that investors should consider when making investment decisions, and it should be evaluated alongside other financial ratios, industry trends, and qualitative factors. By taking a comprehensive approach to analyzing a company's financial health, investors can make well-informed decisions that are more likely to lead to successful outcomes.

The automotive industry could be one of the American sectors hit hardest by President-elect Donald Trump's announced tariff plans on<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/12/42402629/trump-to-change-dollar-stores-for-good-dollar-tree-exec-says-prepared-to-act"> Canada and Mexico.</a>
What Happened: The incoming White House administration could significantly impact various industries and influence pricing for everyday goods and less frequently purchased items, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/11/42247850/gm-other-us-automakers-brace-for-sharp-profit-squeeze-from-trump-tariffs-analysts-warn">such as automobiles.</a>
Several popular vehicles that sell for under $30,000 in the U.S. are currently built in Mexico. A proposed 25% tariff on automobiles imported into the U.S. from Mexico could take these vehicles over this pricing level quickly.
In fact, around one-third of all vehicles below $30,000 in the U.S. are currently built in Mexico, according to data from Edmunds, as <a href="https://www.wsj.com/business/autos/trump-tariff-plan-affordable-car-price-increase-1f3d4687?mod=hp_lead_pos2">reported </a>by the Wall Street Journal. This figure has risen from around one-fifth of all vehicles under the affordable auto price point around 10 years ago.
Popular models like the Ford Maverick from Ford Motor Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>) and Nissan Sentra from Nissan were named in the report.
Ford recently <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42660866/trump-gets-ford-vehicles-1m-for-inauguration-will-musk-respond-or-could-he-ride-in-rival-vehicle">announced a $1 million </a>donation to Trump's inauguration and the donation of several fleet vehicles.
The Honda Civic from Honda Motor Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HMC#NYSE">HMC</a>) is made at several manufacturing plants, including one in Canada. Import tariffs on Canada could impact the price of this top-selling sedan model.
Kia is another automotive company that could be highly impacted by Trump's tariff plans. The company has several models, including the Forte and K4, which were made in Mexico before being imported into the United States.
The Forte and K4 sedans make up around 18% of Kia's U.S. sales according to the report.
"Everyone's got a pretty big case of anxiety here," Kia America Chief Operating Officer Steven Center said. "In two words: Please don't. Punch me in the arm. Smack me in the head. But please don't put a tariff on."
General Motors Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>), which also donated $1 million to Trump's inauguration, has several assembly factories in Mexico. The automotive company sources approximately one-third of its U.S. vehicle sales from plants in Mexico.

</ul>
Why It's Important: Trump's current plan is for 25% tariffs on items imported from Mexico, which could change a free-trade negotiation the president-elect worked on during his previous White House term.
Mexico has often been a place for manufacturing American automobiles that are known for their cheaper price points to help offset some of the costs of production. Around four million vehicles are made in Mexico annually according to the report, with close to 70% imported to the United States.
The signing of the North American Free Trade Agreement, also known as NAFTA, saw American companies turn to Mexico for cheaper labor rates for workers and ample land to build large manufacturing facilities.
Small sedans and SUVs, some of the most affordable options for consumers, are often manufactured in Mexico. The lower production costs help automotive companies turn a modest profit on these vehicles, which would likely result in losses if produced in the United States.
Tariffs on automobiles made in Mexico could change the sector, with auto companies deciding to move manufacturing to the United States or keep it in Mexico with the import tariffs. Either way, American consumers may face higher costs, whether from tariffs or increased expenses tied to U.S. manufacturing, potentially leading to the disappearance of many sub-$30,000 vehicle models.
A Wolfe Research estimate said $3,000 could be added to the cost of the average car sold in America, the report said.
This could be bad news for American consumers already facing higher costs on other items and comes after automotive prices soared during the COVID-19 pandemic due to supply shortages.
American consumers are paying an average of $700 monthly for loans on new automobiles, compared to an average of $500 back in 2016. Around 20% of American consumers are paying an average of $1,000 monthly for their auto loan payment, according to data from Edmunds.
