Goldman Sachs analyst Michael Ng maintained a Buy rating on Comcast Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CMCSA#NASDAQ">CMCSA</a>) with a price target of $50.
On November 20, 2024, Comcast announced <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/11/42081224/comcast-plans-major-cable-networks-spinoff-msnbc-and-cnbc-to-form-new-public-company-report" rel="noreferrer noopener">plans to spin off</a> select cable networks and digital assets into a new publicly traded entity called SpinCo.
The proposed spin-off aims to streamline Comcast&#8217;s operations and enhance growth by separating its cable networks and complementary digital assets from its broader media and streaming divisions.

SpinCo assets generated approximately $7 billion in trailing twelve-month (TTM) revenue ending September 30, 2024, with an estimated EBITDA between $2 billion and $3 billion, the analyst said.
About 75% of SpinCo&#8217;s portfolio will focus on news and sports, while the remaining 25% covers general entertainment.
Comcast expects SpinCo to maintain a traditional cable network EBITDA margin of around 30%, driven by reduced Peacock-related losses and sports licensing costs.
Post-spin, Comcast&#8217;s remaining media assets (RemainCo) will include NBC broadcast, Peacock, regional sports networks, and Sky, generating an estimated $40 billion in annual revenue.
Peacock will likely remain largely unaffected by the spin, as only 2% of its content originates from SpinCo, while 98% will continue to come from RemainCo.
The spin-off positions SpinCo to pursue growth through organic initiatives and mergers or acquisitions, with a dedicated management team and tailored operational focus.
Mark Lazarus, the current chairman of NBCUniversal Media Group, will serve as SpinCo&#8217;s CEO, and Anand Kini, NBCUniversal&#8217;s CFO, will become SpinCo&#8217;s CFO and COO. Comcast expects the transaction to close within a year, pending regulatory approvals.
Ng highlighted the spin-off as a strategic move to refine Comcast&#8217;s focus on core growth drivers, including residential broadband, wireless services, and streaming.
SpinCo&#8217;s creation will likely improve CNBC and MSNBC monetization through digital subscription models and potential affiliate fee adjustments.
Ng views the separation as accretive to revenue growth while maintaining Comcast&#8217;s leverage neutrality.
Risks to the strategy include intensified cord-cutting, rising programming costs, and competitive pressures from streaming platforms.
Despite these challenges, Ng expects the spin-off to unlock shareholder value and position both SpinCo and RemainCo for sustainable growth.
Ng projected fiscal 2024 revenue of $123.42 billion and EPS of $4.24. The analyst estimates fiscal 2025 revenue of $123.43 billion and EPS of $4.43.
Price Action: CMCSA stock is up 1.59% at $43.68 at the last check on Thursday.

Comcast's Spin-Off to Boost Broadband and Streaming Growth: Goldman Sachs

Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos,&nbsp;two of the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/11/41813356/elon-musks-net-worth-soars-by-26-5-billion-in-single-day-after-tesla-stock-surges-post-trump-vic" target="_blank" rel="noopener">world&#8217;s richest people,</a>&nbsp;entered a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/11/42105450/elon-musk-says-amazon-founder-jeff-bezos-urged-tesla-spacex-investors-to-dump-stakes-predicting-trumps-loss">social media sparring</a> match on Thursday.
What Happened: The controversy began when Musk accused Bezos of urging &#8220;everyone&#8221; to sell shares of Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) ahead of the 2024 presidential election. Musk supported Donald Trump during the presidential stakes, contributing hundreds of millions of dollars to Trump&#8217;s election efforts.
&#8220;Just learned tonight at Mar-a-Lago that Jeff Bezos was telling everyone that @realDonaldTrump would lose for sure, so they should sell all their Tesla and SpaceX stock &#x1f92d;,&#8221; Musk <a href="https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1859483544612913376">posted</a> on his social media platform, X. The post garnered over 29 million views.
Bezos responded nearly nine hours later.
&#8220;Nope. 100% not true,&#8221; the Amazon founder succinctly <a href="https://x.com/JeffBezos/status/1859615862984167549">replied</a>. 
It is unclear whether the billionaire entrepreneur plans to pursue legal action against Musk.
Tesla&#8217;s stock has far outperformed the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) since <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/24/11/41768811/donald-trump-wins-47th-presidency-us-futures-up-europe-up-asia-mixed-crude-falls-and-dollar-strength">Trump&#8217;s election win</a> on Nov. 5. Tesla shares are trading up 35%, breaking the $1 trillion mark, while the benchmark has gained 2.97%.
Musk is the largest shareholder of Tesla. While Musk did not start the company, he has served as CEO since 2008.
Musk and Bezos&#8217; rivalry stretches decades. Musk is the principal shareholder of SpaceX while Bezos owns Blue Origin, two space exploration companies.

Jeff Bezos Denies Elon Musk's Allegation That He Told People To Sell Tesla Stock: '100% Not True'

U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chair Gary Gensler has announced his resignation, effective January 20, 2025, coinciding with the inauguration of President-elect Donald Trump.
Gensler&#8217;s tenure has been marked by a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/41993524/gary-gensler-hints-at-ending-his-stint-as-sec-chair-defends-crypto-regulation-agenda">stringent regulatory approach</a> toward the cryptocurrencies, drawing criticism from the industry.
What Happened: "I thank President Biden for entrusting me with this incredible responsibility. The SEC has met our mission and enforced the law without fear or favor,&#8221; Gensler <a href="https://www.sec.gov/newsroom/press-releases/2024-182">said</a> in a press release on Thursday.
Appointed on Apr. 17 2021, Gensler brought extensive experience from his previous role as chair of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC).
 His leadership at the SEC was characterized by a firm stance on digital assets, emphasizing investor protection and market integrity.
Gensler frequently likened the cryptocurrency market to the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/23/12/36358607/crypto-wild-west-hurts-investors-sec-chair-says-bankruptcy-court-queues-are-crowded">&#8220;Wild West,&#8221; advocating for comprehensive oversight</a>.

Justin Sun Did Just That — And Now He&#8217;ll Eat It &#8216;As Part Of This Unique Artistic Experience&#8217;</a>
He asserted that many digital assets functioned as securities and should be regulated accordingly. 
Under his direction, the SEC initiated numerous enforcement actions against major crypto entities, including lawsuits <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/08/40568347/after-binance-and-coinbase-gary-gensler-led-sec-set-to-lock-horns-with-crypto-exchange-kra">against Coinbase</a> and Binance for allegedly operating unregistered securities exchanges.
This rigorous approach faced opposition from industry stakeholders and some lawmakers, who argued that it stifled innovation and lacked clear regulatory guidelines. 
In November, the American Securities Association <a href="https://www.americansecurities.org/post/asa-calls-on-sec-chair-gensler-to-immediately-step-down">called</a> for Gensler&#8217;s immediate resignation, citing concerns over his regulatory methods.
President-elect Trump has been vocal about his <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/41680397/who-will-replace-gary-gensler-the-top-candidates-for-sec-chair-after-the-election">intention to replace Gensler</a>, criticizing his handling of cryptocurrency regulation.
Earlier in July, Trump said, &#8220;I will <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/07/40018935/trumps-bitcoin-conference-pledge-can-he-really-fire-sec-chair-gensler">fire Gary Gensler on day one</a>,&#8221; signaling a potential shift in the SEC&#8217;s approach to digital assets under the incoming administration.

Gary Gensler To Step Down As SEC Chair On Trump's Inauguration Day

KLA's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KLAC#NYSE">KLAC</a>) short percent of float has fallen 8.47% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 2.31 million shares sold short, which is 1.73% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 1.79 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for KLA has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing KLA's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, KLA's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 7.96%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.

This GE Vernova Analyst Begins Coverage On A Bullish Note; Here Are Top 5 Initiations For Thursday

Airbnb (ABNB) is sitting in a wide range into its next earnings cycle in February and it seems reasonable that the price action might stay in that range.
Here's the best trade to profit from that.
The trade we're looking at today is a short iron condor expiring in January, 2025. Currently, ABNB's relative resistance zone sits right around $150, and relative support is near $330. So we want a trade that makes us money as long as ABNB shares stay in that $150-$330 range.
With that in mind, our short iron condor, a combination of a short call spread and a short put spread, looks like this:
<ul>
<li>Sell to open 1 ABNB 17 Jan 150 calls</li>
<li>Buy to open 1 ABNB 17 Jan 155 calls</li>
<li>Buy to open 1 ABNB 17 Jan 330 puts</li>
<li>Sell to open 1 ABNB 17 Jan 320 puts</li>
</ul>
The short iron condor yields maximum profit when the share price of the underlying stock is equal to or between the strike prices of the "short" options (the ones you sell to open) on the day they expire.
In other words, as long as shares of Airbnb trade between $150 and $320, this trade will yield its maximum profit. The total potential profit what we collect on the credit side which is $1.26 at this writing and the total risk is difference between the distance of the strikes and the credit collected ($5 &#8211; $1.26= $3.74).
People often ask why they should use a short iron condor when the risk is so much higher than the reward, and that answer comes to probabilities. The probability the prices move into our short strikes is currently 15% while the probability that we hold outside this region is 85%.
The strategy result provides only two choices to exit the trade:
<ol>
<li>To buy back the short iron condor when it is performing at your target parameters. I like the 50% profit range.</li>
<li>To buy back the short iron condor when it hits either of the short strikes or hits the loss threshold that is desirable for you. Again, I like the 50% stop here.</li>
</ol>

Idaho, the last U.S. state to legalize industrial hemp in April 2021, has significant potential to become a national leader in hemp cultivation. 
However, restrictive regulations are slowing the industry's growth, leaving farmers frustrated and cautious.
"Everyone&#8217;s nervous that it&#8217;s marijuana, or that it&#8217;s weed, or it&#8217;s a stepping stone to weed, but it&#8217;s a stepping stone to industrial building," said Triston Sponseller, one of Idaho's largest hemp farmers in an <a href="https://www.ktvb.com/article/news/agriculture/inside-ag/inside-ag-idaho-could-thrive-hemp-growing-giant-weed-out-restrictions/277-dd47e4aa-d290-476e-9f62-f9b11ab48790">article</a> by Hunter Frank on KTVB7. 
His operations in Roberts focus on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/23/01/30577461/we-need-hemp-based-fiber-food-and-building-materials-not-just-cbd-says-industry-report">hemp fiber</a>, showcasing the crop's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/08/40418137/industrial-hemps-14b-projected-growth-an-investment-opportunity-too-good-to-miss">industrial applications</a> rather than THC or CBD production.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Navigating Stringent Regulations</h3>
Idaho's hemp laws mandate that crops test below 0.3% THC. 
This year, Sponseller's crop tested at 0.8%, forcing him to remove seed heads and bear the cost. 
Like others, he used certified seeds that passed in other states but failed Idaho's stricter requirements. Under the state's "three strikes" rule, farmers exceeding THC limits three times in five years are banned from growing hemp for another five years.
"It was certified when it came from overseas, and it didn&#8217;t go hot in Colorado," Sponseller explained, emphasizing the challenges of complying with Idaho's rules. Testing and remediation costs further deter expansion. "I can&#8217;t grow 2,000 acres of hemp and afford 20, 30 different tests for each field," he added.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Promise Of Hemp In Idaho</h3>
Despite the hurdles, hemp farming in Idaho has quadrupled in acreage since 2022, according to the Idaho State Department of Agriculture (ISDA).
Farmers like Sponseller say they&#8217;re optimistic, pointing to hemp's versatility, water efficiency and benefits to soil health. At Sponseller's Rexburg facility, hemp stalks are processed into materials like insulation, paper, and landscaping products.
"For being a plant grown in a field, it&#8217;s impressive how strong it is; just its natural qualities," Sponseller said.

Idaho&#8217;s hemp cultivators plan to lobby lawmakers this winter to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/09/40833963/expert-calls-for-a-united-hemp-and-cannabis-front-industries-should-collaborate-and-push-for-fed">ease regulations</a>, which could unlock hemp's potential to create jobs and boost the state&#8217;s economy. "Idaho has the highest restrictions in terms of remediation in probably most of the states in the U.S.," Sponseller said, noting that reforms could help farmers scale operations and attract manufacturing.
While progress is slow, he remains hopeful. "It&#8217;s new and it&#8217;s evolving, but it is moving forward." 
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Proposed Farm Bill Changes </h3>
A recent new proposal from Senate Agriculture Chair Debbie Stabenow (D-Mich.) in the 2024 Farm Bill could significantly alter the regulatory landscape for hemp farmers, but in the opposite direction Sponseller is fighting for. 
Released Monday, the bill redefines THC regulations, replacing Delta-9 THC with total THC, explicitly including THC-A in the calculation. While maintaining the 0.3% THC threshold, the method for measurement is revised, creating a stricter environment for industrial hemp but preserving low-THC product pathways, such as CBD.
This change contrasts with the House Agriculture Committee&#8217;s version, which sought a complete ban on THC in hemp products.

Can Idaho Lead The Hemp Industry? Only If Regulations Change

The outspoken economist, author and podcast host Peter Schiff has long been a lightning rod for debate. Known for his bold predictions and contrarian views, Schiff recently sat down with CEO.CA to discuss the U.S. economy, inflation and his ongoing criticism of Bitcoin. His perspective, as always, was sharp and unapologetically critical of current economic policies.

</ul>
The "Bubble Economy" Explained
Schiff argues that the U.S. economy has been in a bubble for decades. "What's been going on is that the government has been sustaining a bubble economy," Schiff stated. "It really took hold with Bush, reacting to the bursting of the dot-com bubble in 2001. Reckless policies have continued for over 20 years." According to Schiff, this pattern of debt-driven consumption has left the economy in an unsustainable state.
He elaborates that the Federal Reserve's monetary policies and unchecked fiscal deficits have propped up this bubble economy. "The whole economy is built on debt and consumption and it's going to implode because it's unsustainable," he said.

Why Bitcoin Doesn't Make the Cut
Schiff's skepticism toward Bitcoin remains firm. He <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/08/40318568/mark-cuban-says-to-get-rich-invest-10-of-savings-in-high-risk-investments-but-if-its-bitcoin-thr">dismisses the cryptocurrency as "fool's gold</a>," designed to mimic some of gold's monetary properties but lacking its intrinsic value.
"People think that I don't own Bitcoin because I don't understand it," Schiff quipped. "No, I understand it precisely. That's why I don't own it. It's the people who own it that don't understand it – that's why they own it."
Schiff criticizes <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/24/03/37513063/warren-buffett-says-he-wouldnt-pay-25-for-all-the-bitcoin-in-the-world-he-considers-crypto-rat-poiso">Bitcoin for being nothing more than a speculative asset</a>. "The only money made is by transferring wealth from new buyers to old sellers," he claimed, calling it a classic pyramid scheme.
When pressed on what would make him change his mind, Schiff replied, "If Bitcoin actually replaces fiat currencies as a unit of account and a medium of exchange – if I walk into a supermarket and everything is priced in Bitcoin–I'd admit I was wrong. But it's no closer to being money today than it was when it started."
Gold and Silver: The Safer Bet
Schiff remains a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/08/40290032/robert-kiyosaki-believes-the-dollars-days-are-numbered-china-and-japan-are-trading-bonds-for-gold-he">steadfast advocate for gold and silver</a>, seeing them as the ultimate hedge against inflation. He noted that central banks are already increasing their gold reserves, signaling confidence in its long-term value.
"Gold is approaching record highs, but silver is still a bargain at around $33 an ounce," he said. Schiff believes silver could see significant gains in the years ahead, particularly as retail investors return.
He also encouraged investors to consider mining stocks, which he likened to "the next crypto," offering high returns without the speculative risks of digital currencies.

What's Next for the U.S. Economy?
Schiff predicts that economic conditions will worsen before they improve, citing unsustainable debt levels and rising inflation. "It's going to get worse before it gets even worse," he said grimly, highlighting the government's inability to address underlying structural issues.
For those looking to safeguard their wealth, Schiff recommends diversifying portfolios into international stocks, emerging markets and commodities like energy and agriculture. His core message: get out of dollars and into tangible assets.
While Schiff's views often spark controversy, his arguments offer a sobering critique of the current economic landscape. Whether you agree or not, his warnings about inflation, unsustainable debt and speculative bubbles are worth considering. As Schiff says, "The key is to be <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/24/03/37513063/warren-buffett-says-he-wouldnt-pay-25-for-all-the-bitcoin-in-the-world-he-considers-crypto-rat-poiso">properly positioned before the collapse – </a>not after."

Peter Schiff Says Economic Bubble We're in Today Started 2 Decades Ago Under Bush – And 'It's Going To Get Worse Before It Gets Even Worse'

Alibaba Group Holding (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>) announced plans to consolidate its domestic and international e-commerce operations into a single unit called Alibaba E-commerce Business Group.
The newly created division will be led by Jiang Fan, the current head of Alibaba International Digital Commerce, who has been the group&#8217;s CEO. He will report directly to Alibaba CEO Eddie Wu Yongming, SCMP <a target="_blank" href="https://www.scmp.com/tech/big-tech/article/3287583/alibaba-merge-domestic-and-global-e-commerce-units-names-jiang-fan-ceo" rel="noreferrer noopener">reports</a>.

The reorganization marks Alibaba&#8217;s most significant structural overhaul since the company split its operations into six independent business units in 2023.
This move is seen as a strategic effort to streamline operations and improve synergies between domestic and international supply chains, particularly as the company faces intensifying competition from rivals such as PDD Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PDD#NASDAQ">PDD</a>), which has aggressively expanded globally with its shopping app Temu.
Jiang&#8217;s leadership in the international division has already demonstrated significant growth.
Alibaba has been actively realigning its business strategy under CEO Eddie Wu, who took over leadership in 2023.
Recent initiatives include launching a digital marketing tool, Quanzhantui, and implementing technology service fees for Taobao and Tmall merchants. These measures aim to revitalize its domestic operations while maintaining its global expansion trajectory.
During the recently concluded Singles&#8217; Day shopping festival, Taobao and Tmall accounted for roughly 50% of sales across major platforms, while Douyin led growth with a 19% increase in gross merchandise value.
Alibaba&nbsp;reported <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/11/42006281/alibaba-q2-earnings-revenue-beats-forecast-cloud-and-international-sales-shine-free-cash-flow-falls-amid-strategic-investments" rel="noreferrer noopener">fiscal second-quarter 2024</a> revenue growth of 5% year-on-year to $33.70 billion, beating the analyst consensus of $33.47 billion.
Taobao and Tmall Group revenue grew by 1% to $14.11 billion. Alibaba International Digital Commerce Group revenue increased by 29% to $4.51 billion, driven by the growth of cross-border businesses.
Benchmark&#8217;s Fawne Jiang maintained a Buy rating on Alibaba with a price target of $118, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/11/42043480/alibabas-monetization-strategy-gains-momentum-but-gmv-growth-lags-analyst" rel="noreferrer noopener">citing mixed earnings performance</a>.
While customer management revenue grew 2.5% YoY, sluggish GMV growth and increased investments in Taobao and Tmall raise concerns over market share retention. The analyst expects improved monetization from software service fees and expanded Quanzhantui marketing use in upcoming quarters, aiding profitability. Fiscal 2025 revenue and EBITDA estimates were slightly reduced due to margin pressures but reflect confidence in the gradual recovery and user acquisition.
Price Action:&nbsp;BABA stock is down 0.99% at $85.91 at&nbsp;the last check on Thursday.
