Roundhill Daily 2X Long Magnificent Seven ETF (NASDAQ: MAGX)

Latest news for Roundhill Daily 2X Long Magnificent Seven ETF (NASDAQ:MAGX)

The Fund will attempt to achieve its investment objective without regard to overall market movement or the increase or decrease of the value of the Magnificent Seven ETF. At the close of the markets each trading day, Roundhill rebalances the Funds portfolio so that its exposure to the Magnificent Seven ETF is consistent with the Funds investment objective. The impact of the Magnificent Seven ETFs movements during the day will affect whether the Funds portfolio needs to be re-positioned. For example, if the value of the Magnificent Seven ETF has increased on a given day, net assets of the Fund should increase, meaning that the Funds exposure will need to be increased. Conversely, if the Magnificent Seven ETF has decreased in value on a given day, net assets of the Fund should decrease, meaning the Funds exposure will need to be decreased. This re-positioning strategy typically results in high portfolio turnover. On a day-to-day basis, the Fund is expected to hold ETFs and money market funds, deposit accounts with institutions with high quality credit ratings, or short-term debt instruments that have terms-to-maturity of less than 397 days and exhibit high quality credit profiles, including U.S. government securities and repurchase agreements.

Rumble shares are trading higher. The stock may be moving on continued strength after the company, on Friday, announced it has entered into a definitive agreement for a strategic investment of $775 million from Tether.

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.

Roundhill Investments has just introduced two new exchange-traded funds (ETFs) to its lineup, providing investors with innovative avenues for inverse and leveraged exposure to the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/magnificent-seven">renowned Magnificent Seven stocks.</a>



Recognized as the pioneer ETF issuer in this space, Roundhill Investments launched the Roundhill Magnificent Seven ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MAGS#NYSE">MAGS</a>) last year, featuring an equally weighted exposure to Microsoft Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NYSE">MSFT</a>), Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>), 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>), Amazon Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>), NVIDIA Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), and Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>), with quarterly rebalancing.



Expanding the investment horizon within this select group of stocks, Roundhill has now unveiled the Roundhill Daily Inverse Magnificent Seven ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MAGQ#NYSE">MAGQ</a>) and the Roundhill Daily 2X Long Magnificent Seven ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MAGX#NYSE">MAGX</a>). Both began trading on Thursday. 



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">A Complete Toolkit For Traders To Express Views On Magnificent 7</h3>



&#8220;We wanted to offer a complete toolkit for investors and traders to express views on Magnificent Seven,&#8221; Dave Mazza, chief strategy officer at Roundhill Investment, said Thursday in an exclusive interview with Benzinga. 



According to the market expert, Magnificent Seven have been in the &#8216;driver&#8217;s seat&#8217; thus far, but he highlighted an increasing interest among traders in taking contrarian positions due to the significant market concentration, anticipating potential market shifts.



Both ETFs are structured around daily total return swaps. 



The Roundhill Daily Inverse Magnificent Seven ETF aims to deliver the inverse daily return of the Magnificent Seven basket. For instance, a 2% decline in the underlying stocks would be translated into a 2% increase in MAGQ ETF value, and vice versa.



Conversely, the Roundhill Daily 2X Long Magnificent Seven ETF seeks to provide twice the daily total return of the group, amplifying gains or losses accordingly. For example, a 2% rise in the Magnificent Seven stocks would result in a 4% increase in MAGX ETF value, but likewise, negative performance would be magnified.



Mazza expressed confidence in attracting new inflows into these newly launched funds and reiterated Roundhill&#8217;s commitment in the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/sector-etfs/24/02/37322437/exclusive-roundhills-ai-magnificent-7-etfs-shine-in-tech-market-rally-draw-100m-inflow-in-1-mont">offering of innovative ETFs. </a>



Over the past two months alone, the &#8216;plain-vanilla&#8217; Roundhill Magnificent Seven ETF has garnered over $100 million if inflows, pushing its total assets under management to $152 million.



The fund has seen nearly a 14% increase year-to-date and more than a 50% surge since its inception in April 2023.
