Guggenheim Maintains Buy on Group 1 Automotive, Raises Price Target to $442

In 2017, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42029882/elon-musk-acknowledges-x-users-call-for-larger-tesla-models-for-bigger-families">Elon Musk</a> promised earthbound rocket flights that could take people long distances in less than half an hour. In 2024, Musk says we're closer than ever to achieving that reality.&nbsp;
A physics engineer posted on X during the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/11/42023971/after-the-election-americans-are-exploring-life-abroad-but-what-are-the-financial-costs">U.S. presidential election</a>: "Under Trump&#8217;s FAA, @SpaceX could even get Starship Earth to Earth approved in a few years – Taking people from any city to any other city on Earth in under one hour." 
Elon Musk responded to the post with, "This is now possible."

</ul>
Musk envisions a future where intercontinental travel happens at speeds of up to 16,700 miles per hour using SpaceX&#8217;s Starship rockets. These rockets, originally designed for missions to the Moon and Mars, could allow a flight from New York City to Shanghai to take just 39 minutes. Flights from New York to London could be even shorter, taking only 30 minutes, according to Musk.&nbsp;
While a rocket flight worldwide might be thrilling, it will be more intense than the average plane ride. Passengers would experience intense G-forces during takeoff and landing and need to stay strapped for the low-gravity journey. This also means there wouldn't be any accommodations like snacks or bathroom breaks.&nbsp;
One of the biggest questions people have now is: what will it cost?&nbsp;
Musk has previously claimed that these flights could one day be as affordable as an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/travel/24/04/38518915/you-dont-need-to-be-rich-to-fly-business-class-5-secret-hacks-only-frequent-fliers-know">economy plane ticket</a>. However, experts are skeptical. The current going rate for a 90-minute visit to space – from companies like Virgin Galactic – is just short of half a billion dollars per person.&nbsp;
Trending: This Adobe-backed AI marketing startup went from a $5 to $85 million valuation working with brands like L'Oréal, Hasbro, and Sweetgreen in just three years –<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/rad-ai-2"> here's how there's a limited time opportunity to invest at $1,000 for only $0.50/share before it closes tonight.</a>
A 2019 UBS report estimated that the high-speed, point-to-point space travel market could grow to $20 billion annually by 2030, especially as the technology improves. While Musk is optimistic about achieving point-to-point travel within the next few years, he hasn't said much about the price in the beginning.&nbsp;
Launching rockets to replace long-haul flights raises safety and logistical challenges. Rockets are subject to stricter regulations than airplanes and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) would need to approve these trips. Musk's suggestion that this approval could come quickly has sparked debate, especially since the technology is still being tested.
Even with challenges, experts believe the demand exists. More than 150 million passengers take flights longer than 10 hours each year. UBS estimated that the market could reach billions of dollars annually if just 5% of those flights switched to rockets at $2,500 per trip.

Sam Dinkin, author and former CEO of SpaceShot, told CNBC in 2019 that he was not optimistic about an affordable consumer market for point-to-point travel. "I don&#8217;t think it&#8217;ll be here in 10 years," Dinkin said. "The market would be there at that price, but I don&#8217;t think the cost will be there."
While skeptics have doubts that the technology will be ready for regular use within the next few years, others see Musk's vision as a game-changer. This innovation could disrupt the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/travel/24/11/42014787/delta-united-alaska-air-are-top-analyst-picks-in-airline-sector">airline industry</a>, making space the next frontier for global travel.
For now, Musk's promise of a 40-minute trip from New York to Shanghai remains an exciting glimpse into the future. But whether these flights will ever be accessible to all – or remain a luxury for the wealthy – will depend on how quickly technology advances and costs come down.

Mullen Automotive, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MULN#NASDAQ">MULN</a>) shares are trading higher on Thursday. The company provided an update on its Fullerton, California battery facility, which is focused on manufacturing next-generation, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/11/g42112878/mullen-ramping-up-for-start-of-us-battery-productionv" rel="noreferrer noopener">American-made battery packs and modules</a>.
Mullen Automotive expects battery production at its Fullerton, California, facility to begin in mid-2025.
The company has already installed three battery lines, which include a high-volume standard battery chemistry line, a high-precision low-volume standard chemistry R&amp;D line, and a high-precision low-volume solid-state polymer R&amp;D line.
Mullen has planned two additional lines. One is a high-volume standard chemistry battery line scheduled to be added in December 2024, while the other is a fully automated, high-volume wire bonding line designed for use with multiple chemistries, which will be installed by February 2025.
This initiative supports the company&#8217;s zero-emission goals and reduces dependency on imported battery components.
CEO and Chairman David Michery emphasized Mullen&#8217;s commitment to producing batteries domestically, reinforcing its focus on sustainable, U.S.-based manufacturing.
Last week, the company announced that the Bollinger Motors 2025 Bollinger B4 truck qualified for California&#8217;s Hybrid and Zero-Emission Truck and&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42054284/whats-going-on-with-mullen-automotive-stock-monday" rel="noreferrer noopener">Bus Voucher Incentive Project (HVIP)</a>.
Under HVIP, the 2025 Bollinger B4 EV truck, with a suggested MSRP of&nbsp;$158,758, now qualifies for up to a&nbsp;$60,000&nbsp;cash voucher. When added to the available&nbsp;$40,000&nbsp;federal tax credit, the net effective cost of the B4 could be less than&nbsp;$59,000.
Price Action: MULN shares are up 10.6% at $2.98 at the last check Thursday.

Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) has launched a long-awaited feature for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate members, allowing them to stream select games they already own via Xbox Cloud <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/gaming">Gaming. </a>
This <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/gaming/24/10/41318405/microsoft-to-test-cloud-gaming-for-owned-xbox-games-in-november-report">long-in-development addition</a> has been a goal since 2019, but its rollout faced delays due to the challenge of preparing infrastructure for thousands of titles.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">A Promising Start, But Limited Scope</h3>
As of today, only 50 games are compatible with the feature, the company<a href="https://news.xbox.com/en-us/2024/11/20/stream-your-own-game-xbox-cloud-gaming-beta/"> announced</a> in a blog post. Despite the modest start, the lineup includes high-profile blockbusters like Baldur's Gate 3, Cyberpunk 2077, Star Wars Outlaws, and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II, alongside beloved indie titles like Dredge, Phasmophobia, and The Plucky Squire.

While this is just a fraction of the Xbox catalog, Microsoft has confirmed that the list will grow over time as partnerships expand globally. "Our library of cloud-playable titles will continue to grow," Microsoft stated.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Compatibility And Future Expansion</h3>
Currently, the feature supports streaming on TVs and browsers via devices such as tablets, smartphones, and Meta Quest headsets. However, console owners will need to wait until next year for functionality on Xbox consoles and the Xbox app on Windows.
The release coincides with Sony's expansion of its own cloud gaming offerings, highlighting the intensifying competition in the space. Xbox Cloud Gaming's new feature sets the stage for further innovations as Microsoft positions itself as a leader in cloud-based gaming.

Agrify Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AGFY#NASDAQ">AGFY</a>) announced Thursday that is has secured a $25.9 million non-brokered private placement.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">What Happened</h3>
The company said it has entered into securities purchase agreements with institutional and accredited investors in a non-brokered private placement priced at $22.30 per share.
The placement is set to close on Thursday, Nov. 21, subject to customary closing conditions.
Benjamin Kovler, chairman and interim CEO, participated in the private placement to purchase 10,000 shares of common stock at $38.76.
The news comes on the heels of the company's board of directors having <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/11/41760263/marijuana-growing-solution-provider-agrify-gets-20m-boost-from-green-thumb-to-power-up-cannabis-">approved</a> a $20 million convertible secured note. Of that sum $10 million will be drawn upon at closing, from a wholly-owned subsidiary of Green Thumb Industries Inc., Agrify said in a press release.
Before this, the Green Thumb subsidiary acquired an ownership stake in Agrify through the purchase of common stock and warrants from its outgoing chairman and CEO Raymond Chang and outgoing director I-Tseng Jenny Chan.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Why It Matters</h3>
Agrify plans to use the proceeds from the private placement for general corporate purposes, including, among other things, working capital and business development. It intends to allocate capital to opportunities in the cannabis and hemp industries.
"This funding is a strong move for Agrify and our shareholders as we were able to raise approximately $26 million in a non-brokered deal (gross equals net)," Kovler said. "We plan to allocate this capital into opportunities within our circle of competence to benefit stockholders. We are excited about the opportunity set and current consumer trends in cannabis and hemp. The team continues to work hard to close the previously announced Señorita transaction, and it remains on track for closing at or around year-end."
Agrify reported its third quarter 2024 financial results on Nov. 14, revealing a $1.9 million revenue, down from $3.1 million a year ago. The company posted a net loss of $18.6 million, largely driven by a $15 million change in the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/11/41998220/agrifys-q3-revenue-drop-18-6m-loss-amid-new-leadership">fair value of warrant liabilities.</a>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">AGFY Price Action</h3>
Agrify's shares traded 25.15% lower at $29.01 per share at the time of writing on Thursday.

U.S. natural gas prices are on fire this month, surging by about 50% to reach $3.40 per million British thermal units as of Nov. 21, the highest level <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42113449/natural-gas-prices-spike-to-over-1-year-highs-oil-surges-to-70-as-russia-fires-intercontinental-ballistic-missile-to-ukraine">in over a year.</a>
November is poised to mark the strongest surge in natural gas at the Henry Hub pricing point since July 2022, fueled by heightened geopolitical tensions, unseasonably cold U.S. weather and rising export demand.
For investors, this sharp price rebound has cast a spotlight on natural gas stocks poised to benefit from the renewed momentum in the natural gas markets.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Why Are Natural Gas Prices Spiking?</h1>
The price rally has been driven by a combination of factors:
<ul>
<li>Plunging Temperatures Across the U.S.: After a relatively warmer-than-average start to the winter, the situation has drastically changed over the past few weeks. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration forecasts the first major snowfall of the season for parts of the central and northern Appalachians, with lower elevations in Pennsylvania and New York also bracing for accumulation. This colder weather has pushed demand for heating sharply higher.</li>
<li>Geopolitical Tensions Between Russia and Ukraine: Russia's launch of an intercontinental ballistic missile on Thursday, combined with Ukraine&#8217;s recent use of Western-made missiles to target Russian territory, has added a geopolitical risk premium to natural gas markets.</li>
<li>Supply Concerns in Europe: Austria&#8217;s OMV Group revealed earlier this month that it will stop receiving natural gas volumes from Russia&#8217;s Gazprom, reigniting fears of winter supply shortages in Europe and potentially shifting demand to the U.S. for liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports.</li>
</ul>
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">7 Natural Gas Stocks Benefiting From The Rally</h1>
As natural gas prices rally, several U.S. energy companies stand to gain from higher commodity prices and increased demand. Here are seven stocks to watch:
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">1. EQT Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EQT#NYSE">EQT</a>)</h4>
EQT is the largest natural gas producer in the U.S., with operations in the Appalachian Basin. The company benefits directly from higher domestic gas prices.
Shares of EQT Corp. are up 30% month-to-date, on track for their strongest performing month since March 2022. 
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">2. ONEOK, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OKE#NYSE">OKE</a>)</h4>
As a midstream operator, ONEOK processes and transports natural gas, profiting from higher pipeline volumes as demand increases.
Shares of ONEOK Inc. are up 19.6% in November, eyeing their best monthly performance since November 2020. 
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">3. Targa Resources Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TRGP#NYSE">TRGP</a>)</h4>
Targa specializes in natural gas gathering and processing, positioning it to benefit from both domestic demand and export growth.
Targa shares have rallied 24% this month, on track to notch the 10th straight positive month and the strongest one in four years.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">4. Kinder Morgan, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KMI#NYSE">KMI</a>)</h4>
One of the largest pipeline operators in the U.S., Kinder Morgan&#8217;s infrastructure is critical for natural gas transportation across regions.
Kinder Morgan has seen its stock rally 16% in November, potentially positioned for the best month since November 2020. 
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">5. Antero Resources Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AR#NYSE">AR</a>)</h4>
Focused on natural gas and liquids production, Antero Resources has significant exposure to the Appalachia region, where colder weather is driving demand.
Shares of Antero Resources have soared 32% month-to-date, following a 9.7% drop in October. 
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">6. Cheniere Energy, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LNG#NYSE">LNG</a>)</h4>
As the top exporter of liquefied natural gas from the U.S., Cheniere benefits from global demand for natural gas, particularly in Europe.
Cheniere Energy has gained 16% thus far this month. 
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">7. Williams Companies, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WMB#NYSE">WMB</a>)</h4>

Shares are up 13.6% in November, following a 14.7% surge in October.

<h1 class="wp-block-heading">EIA Natural Gas Outlook: Winter Demand and LNG Exports To Support Prices</h1>
The EIA's latest Short-Term Energy Outlook (STEO) is bullish about near-term natural price gains, supported by robust winter demand and growing LNG exports.
With colder-than-expected weather forecasted for the season, the EIA has increased its consumption estimates, particularly in residential and commercial sectors where heating needs dominate. Residential and commercial demand is now expected to average 36 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d), representing a 4% increase from last winter.
In 2025, U.S. marketed natural gas production is projected to grow by 1%, with the Permian Basin leading the way with a 6% increase, followed by a 5% rise in output from the Eagle Ford region. 
The EIA anticipates Henry Hub natural gas prices — as tracked by the United States Natural Gas Fund LP (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UNG#NYSE">UNG</a>) – to climb steadily in early 2025, averaging $2.80 per million British thermal units in the first quarter and $2.90/MMBtu for the entire year. This represents a significant 33% increase compared to the 2024 average of $2.20/MMBtu.
Liquefied natural gas exports are expected to play a critical role in driving demand next year, with exports projected to increase by nearly 2 Bcf/d in 2025. The growth in LNG capacity, coupled with sustained international demand, further strengthens the outlook for higher natural gas prices in the coming year.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Goldman Sachs Natural Gas Outlook: $4.00 Delayed Until 2026</h1>
Goldman Sachs offers a more cautious perspective on natural gas prices, citing delays in the construction and operation of new LNG export facilities across the Americas.
According to analyst Samantha Dart, these delays are expected to soften the trajectory of U.S. natural gas price increases and could hinder Europe's ability to replenish its gas storage levels for the 2025 season.
Goldman Sachs revised its 2025 Henry Hub price forecast downward to $3/MMBtu, from a previous estimate of $3.40/MMBtu.
The bank also pushed its projection for U.S. natural gas prices to hit $4/MMBtu to 2026, postponing it from the fourth quarter of 2025. 
The firm indicates that while slower U.S. LNG export growth might ease domestic price pressures temporarily, it poses challenges for Europe, which will have fewer LNG cargoes at its disposal to fill storage next summer.
