Russian companies have started using Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) and other digital currencies for international transactions, said Finance Minister Anton Siluanov on Wednesday.
What Happened: Siluanov revealed that Russian businesses have begun using Bitcoin and other digital currencies for international transactions, reported Reuters. The legislative changes that allowed this move were implemented to counter the impact of Western sanctions on Russia&#8217;s trade with major partners like China and Turkey.
Siluanov told Russia 24 television channel &#8220;As part of the experimental regime, it is possible to use bitcoins, which we had mined here in Russia (in foreign trade transactions).&#8221; 
&#8220;Such transactions are already occurring. We believe they should be expanded and developed further. I am confident this will happen next year,&#8221; he continued, expressing his conviction that digital currencies will play a significant role in future international payments.

Why It Matters: Russia has been increasingly embracing cryptocurrencies. This came after President Vladimir Putin, earlier this month, criticized the current U.S. administration for undermining the role of the U.S. dollar as the reserve currency by using it for political purposes. According to Putin, this has compelled many countries to seek alternative assets. He highlighted <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/12/42317460/vladimir-putin-says-nobody-can-ban-bitcoin-stresses-crypto-will-develop-one-way-or-the-other">Bitcoin as an example of such assets</a>, asserting that no global authority could regulate Bitcoin. 
Putin also said that cryptocurrencies are becoming the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/12/42405700/russia-weighs-bitcoin-reserve-as-deputy-warns-sanctions-leave-crypto-only-instrument-for-trade-amid-trumps-pro-bitcoin-push">only instrument for international trade</a> in countries under sanctions. 
 This move comes despite the recent ban on cryptocurrency mining in several regions of Russia. The Russian government announced a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/12/42667932/did-vladimir-putin-just-ban-bitcoin-mining-in-russia-the-devil-is-in-the-details">six-year ban on cryptocurrency mining</a> in ten regions, effective from Jan. 1, 2025, due to concerns over excessive energy consumption.
Price Action: At the time of writing, Bitcoin was exchanging hands at $$98,305, up 4% in the last 24 hours, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?_gl=1&#x2A;380nj0&#x2A;_ga&#x2A;MTEyOTAyOTcxMy4xNzEzMzY0NTYy&#x2A;_ga_V7ZK73W7N0&#x2A;MTcxNDk4MzIzMi42LjEuMTcxNDk4OTE0Ni4wLjAuMA.." target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

Russian Firms Adopt Bitcoin For Global Trade In Response To Western Sanctions: 'Should Be Expanded And Developed Further'

In the current session, Sanofi Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SNY#NASDAQ">SNY</a>) is trading at $48.30, after a 0.18% decrease. Over the past month, the stock decreased by 0.88%, and in the past year, by 2.21%. With performance like this, long-term shareholders are more likely to start looking into the company's price-to-earnings ratio. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1735132508_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>Sanofi P/E Compared to Competitors</h3>
The P/E ratio measures the current share price to the company's EPS. It is used by long-term investors to analyze the company's current performance against it's past earnings, historical data and aggregate market data for the industry or the indices, such as S&amp;P 500. A higher P/E indicates that investors expect the company to perform better in the future, and the stock is probably overvalued, but not necessarily. It also could indicate that investors are willing to pay a higher share price currently, because they expect the company to perform better in the upcoming quarters. This leads investors to also remain optimistic about rising dividends in the future. 
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of the 27.1 in the Pharmaceuticals industry, Sanofi Inc. has a lower P/E ratio of 26.01. Shareholders might be inclined to think that the stock might perform worse than it's industry peers. It's also possible that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1735132508_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In conclusion, the price-to-earnings ratio is a useful metric for analyzing a company's market performance, but it has its limitations. While a lower P/E can indicate that a company is undervalued, it can also suggest that shareholders do not expect future growth. Additionally, the P/E ratio should not be used in isolation, as other factors such as industry trends and business cycles can also impact a company's stock price. Therefore, investors should use the P/E ratio in conjunction with other financial metrics and qualitative analysis to make informed investment decisions.

CSX's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CSX#NYSE">CSX</a>) short percent of float has risen 20.97% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 28.87 million shares sold short, which is 1.5% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 3.15 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.

<h3>CSX Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1735131622_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for CSX has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing CSX'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>, CSX's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 7.29%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze/">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

(CSX) - Analyzing CSX's Short Interest

Ford Motor Co&#8216;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>) F-150 Lightning sales have been falling in the U.S. over the past two months as compared to the corresponding months of 2023, while sales of its rival, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/cybertruck">the Cybertruck</a>, rose significantly.
Quarterly Sales Comparison: Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) started delivering Cybertrucks to customers in the U.S. in late November 2023. Since then, the company has been ramping up deliveries.
In the quarter that ended in September, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41325252/tesla-cybertruck-leads-the-pack-as-most-popular-ev-truck-in-us-in-q3-outselling-rivals-from-ford-gm">Tesla delivered 16,692 Cybertruck vehicles</a> in the U.S., according to data from automotive research company Kelley Blue Book. Ford, in the meantime, managed to sell just 7,162 F-150 Lightnings.
This number, though higher than the number of EV trucks delivered by the company in the corresponding quarter of 2023, placed the conventional Ford truck behind its stainless steel counterpart.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="476" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/23053934/gB1eV-quarterly-sales-of-f-150-lightning-amp-cybertruck-1024x476.png" alt="" class="wp-image-703836" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/23053934/gB1eV-quarterly-sales-of-f-150-lightning-amp-cybertruck-1024x476.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/23053934/gB1eV-quarterly-sales-of-f-150-lightning-amp-cybertruck-300x139.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/23053934/gB1eV-quarterly-sales-of-f-150-lightning-amp-cybertruck-768x357.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/23053934/gB1eV-quarterly-sales-of-f-150-lightning-amp-cybertruck.png 1240w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
Cybertruck sales overtook F-150 Lightning sales for the first time in the second quarter of 2024 despite the latter having a lower starting price. Cybertruck has been keeping its lead for two quarters straight.
Furthermore, Cybertruck sales have been rising drastically compared to Ford&#8217;s Lightning sales which have remained more or less stable at around 7,000-8,000 units over the last three quarters.
Thus Far Into Q4: F-150 Lightning sales have been falling over the past two months. Ford sold just 5,506 Lightnings in October and November put together as compared to 8,105 in the corresponding period last year. 
In the last quarter of 2023, the Lightning was, in fact, the best-selling electric truck in the U.S.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="368" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/23055647/1Qq5V-f-150-lightning-sales-1024x368.png" alt="" class="wp-image-703877" style="width:920px;height:auto" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/23055647/1Qq5V-f-150-lightning-sales-1024x368.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/23055647/1Qq5V-f-150-lightning-sales-300x108.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/23055647/1Qq5V-f-150-lightning-sales-768x276.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/23055647/1Qq5V-f-150-lightning-sales.png 1240w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
Unlike Ford which shares monthly sales data, Tesla doesn&#8217;t. It is unclear how many Cybertrucks were sold in October and November this year. 
Demand Challenges: However, both the Lightning and Cybertruck are seemingly faced with demand challenges. In November, Benzinga reported that Ford will pause the production of its&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/ford-f-150-lightning" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">F-150 Lightning pickup</a>&nbsp;truck for&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/41677673/ford-f-150-lightning-pickup-truck-production-to-be-halted-temporarily-after-teslas-cybertruck-races" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">six weeks from Nov. 18 to Jan.6</a>&nbsp;at the Rouge Electric Vehicle Plant.
"We continue to adjust production for an optimal mix of sales growth and profitability,&#8221; Ford said about the decision then.
Tesla, meanwhile, told its workers on the Cybertruck production line at Giga Texas that they need not report to work for three days from Dec. 3 to Dec. 5, implying that both companies have inventory exceeding demand. 
Price Point Comparison: The F-150 Lightning is a cheaper EV truck offering as compared to the Cybertruck. The model year 2024 Lightning starts at $67,995 for the base variant and at $84,995 for the more premium Platinum variant. The company also manufactures two more variants priced in between. 
The Cybertruck, meanwhile, starts at $79,990 for the lower-priced All-wheel drive variant and at $99,990 for the higher-end Cyberbeast version. The EV giant offers just two variants of the truck.

Tech, Toys, And Tesla: The Ultimate Santa Tech Wishlist From Magnificent 7 Companies

Nvidia Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) CEO Jensen Huang has shared his thoughts on his company's relationship with Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>) and the remarks by President-elect Donald Trump.
What Happened: Earlier this month, during WIRED&#8217;s &#8220;The Big Interview&#8221; series, Huang was asked about Trump's accusation about Taiwan taking some of the chip business from the U.S. and its implications for Nvidia&#8217;s close partnership with TSMC.
In response, Huang highlighted the pivotal role of TSMC in the global tech supply chain, praising the company as an &#8220;extraordinary&#8221; innovator with strong leadership.
&#8220;If anything, TSMC as a company gets better and better every single year that we work with them so our relationship with TSMC is going to continue,&#8221; he stated.

The Nvidia CEO also confirmed reaching out to Trump to congratulate him and expressed Nvidia&#8217;s readiness to support the new administration.
He expressed confidence that the incoming administration would recognize the importance of AI and offered to provide any necessary support to help the administration succeed in this area.

Why It Matters: Trump&#8217;s concerns about Taiwan&#8217;s semiconductor industry have been a recurring theme. In October, while appearing on the Joe Rogan podcast, Trump accused Taiwan of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/10/41604100/trump-goes-after-taiwan-semiconductor-on-joe-rogan-podcast">undermining the U.S. chip industry</a> and criticized the U.S. CHIPS Act.
He pledged to impose tariffs on Taiwanese chips, which could significantly impact TSMC, a major supplier for companies like Nvidia and Apple Inc.
Despite Trump&#8217;s critical remarks, TSMC announced that its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/24/11/41845483/taiwan-semiconductor-us-expansion-plans-unfazed-by-trump-win-report">U.S. expansion plans remain</a> unchanged. The company proceeded with a $65 billion investment in advanced semiconductor production facilities in Arizona.
TSMC also plans a significant global expansion, with a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/24/11/42032114/taiwan-semiconductor-plans-major-global-expansion-sets-record-38-billion-investment-target">record $38 billion investment</a> target. The company aims to increase its production capacity by constructing several new semiconductor fabrication plants worldwide by 2025.
Nvidia and TSMC have partnered since 1995, with TSMC historically serving as the primary manufacturer of Nvidia&#8217;s high-performance GPUs.&nbsp;
In October, TSMC reported consolidated third-quarter revenue of NT$759.69 billion ($23.50 billion), reflecting a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/10/41373163/nvidia-supplier-tsmc-reports-q3-revenue-earnings-beat-amid-rising-demand-for-ai-chips">39% year-over-year increase</a>.
Price Action: TSMC&#8217;s stock has increased by 103.22% year-to-date, while Nvidia&#8217;s stock has risen by 191.09% during the same period, according to <a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/lxquj26b2sag">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.
The latest analyst reports from Barclays and Needham set an average price target of $226.67 for TSMC, indicating a potential upside of 9.87%.

Meanwhile, reports from DA Davidson, Phillip Securities, and Truist Securities set an average price target of $154.67 for Nvidia, suggesting a potential upside of 10.65%.

Amid Donald Trump's Concerns About Taiwan's Rising Chip Business, Jensen Huang Praises TSMC For Its Unquestionable Innovation — Vows Nvidia's Support For The Incoming US Administration

Fraudsters in China are capitalizing on the popularity of the South Korean TV series &#8220;Squid Game&#8221; to exploit the financially vulnerable in a struggling economy, offering prize money, debt restructuring, and other deceptive schemes.
What Happened: Unlike the life-threatening challenges in the original series, the Chinese version&#8217;s &#8220;self-discipline&#8221; challenges do not pose a risk to participants&#8217; lives. However, some contestants in isolation challenges, who pay substantial fees to follow strict rules in the hope of winning up to 1 million yuan ($140,000), have been found to be victims of scams, reported Reuters on Wednesday.
These challenges, often promoted on Douyin (the Chinese version of TikTok), have gained popularity amid the country&#8217;s economic slowdown. The challenges come with a long list of rules, including strict time limits for toilet breaks and restrictions on the use of electronic devices.

Regulators have intervened in some cases, with a court in Shandong province ordering a challenge organizer to refund a player&#8217;s sign-up fees, ruling the contract as unfair and against public order and morals.
The National Financial Regulatory Administration (NFRA) has also warned the public about dubious debt relief claims. These claims are made by &#8220;debt intermediaries&#8221; who promise to help restructure debts or improve credit profiles for a high fee.
Why It Matters: The rise of such fraudulent schemes coincides with China&#8217;s economic slowdown. In 2024, the Chinese economy is expected to experience a more severe downturn, with no clear industry catalyst for recovery, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/23/12/36422871/analyst-says-chinas-economic-downturn-to-deepen-in-2024-will-be-slower-than-2023">according to analysts.</a> This economic pressure has led to a surge in these deceptive practices, taking advantage of the financially distressed.
China&#8217;s economic challenges have also prompted policymakers to consider significant measures, such as <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/12/42473889/china-eyes-yuan-devaluation-to-counter-trumps-tariffs-will-it-work">allowing the yuan to weaken</a> significantly in 2025 to counter the potential impact of a 60% tariff on Chinese imports by the United States. This potential devaluation, if implemented, could further exacerbate the economic strain on Chinese households, potentially increasing their vulnerability to such fraudulent schemes.

China's 'Squid Game'-Inspired Scams Target Financially Distressed Amid Economic Slowdown

Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) is gearing up to launch the AirTag 2, featuring significant upgrades in range and safety.
Everything we know so far about Apple's upcoming item tracker:&nbsp;
Ultra Wideband Chip For Longer Range
One of the most anticipated upgrades for the AirTag 2 is the integration of Apple's second-generation Ultra Wideband (UWB) chip. This new chip, first seen in the iPhone 15 and Apple Watch Ultra 2, significantly <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/media/24/12/42501665/apples-2025-airtag-to-feature-iphone-15s-ultrawide-band-chip-for-smarter-longer-range-tracking-report">boosts the tracker's range</a>—potentially up to three times the distance of the first-generation AirTag.
Subscribe to the <a href="https://bztechtrends.beehiiv.com/subscribe">Benzinga Tech Trends newsletter</a> to get all the latest tech developments delivered to your inbox.
Improved Safety Measures To Address Stalking Concerns
One rumored change involves the tracker's built-in speaker, which is expected to be more difficult to remove. This tweak could help address concerns about AirTags being used for unauthorized tracking or stalking.

Better Integration With Apple Vision Pro
While specific details remain scarce, rumors suggest that the AirTag 2 will <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/05/38911822/upgraded-apple-airtag-with-advanced-chip-and-superior-location-tracking-set-for-2025-launch-says-mar">feature better compatibility</a> with Apple Vision Pro, the company's mixed-reality headset. This integration could unlock new possibilities for spatial tracking.
Design Consistency Overhaul Unlikely
Unlike some of Apple's other product updates, the AirTag 2 is not expected to undergo a major design overhaul. The current circular and compact form factor has proven effective, and Apple seems to be focusing on internal upgrades rather than aesthetic changes for its second-generation tracker.
Why It Matters: According to verified market research, the AirTag keychain market, valued at $0.6 billion in 2023, is anticipated to surge to $4.2 billion by 2030.
This reflects a compound annual growth rate of 35.19% from 2024 to 2030.
In January 2023, it was reported that Apple had sold over <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/01/30446236/apple-airtags-and-bluetooth-trackers-are-officially-a-billion-dollar-industry-heres-what-to-know-tre">$1 billion worth of AirTags</a>—approximately 55 million units—since its debut in April 2021.
Earlier this year, Apple was also hit with a lawsuit claiming that AirTags were being used by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/03/37764878/apple-loses-motion-to-dismiss-lawsuit-claiming-airtags-are-weapon-of-stalkers-determination-cannot-b">stalkers for malicious purposes</a>.
However, AirTags have also <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/07/33226618/how-an-apple-airtag-led-to-the-capture-of-a-sneaky-thief">demonstrated their value</a> in numerous scenarios, including helping to recover stolen possessions. Last month, Cupertino also launched a new feature enabling users to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/24/11/41931360/apples-airtag-users-can-now-share-location-with-airlines-for-faster-recovery-of-lost-luggage">share the location</a> of lost items with third parties, like airlines, via the Find My app.

What To Expect From Apple's AirTag 2: Ultra Wideband Boost, Enhanced Tracking, Safety Upgrades And More

U.S. financial markets will observe the Christmas holiday with modified trading hours, marking a brief pause in what has been an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/12/42665923/is-stock-market-open-on-christmas-eve-2024-a-quick-guide-for-market-hours-banks-and-whats-closed-for-santa-claus">eventful year for Wall Street</a>.
The New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq will remain fully closed on Wednesday, Dec. 25, for Christmas Day. The bond market will follow a similar schedule, with the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association <a href="https://www.sifma.org/resources/general/holiday-schedule/">announcing</a> a 2 p.m. ET close on Christmas Eve.
The adjusted schedule affects a broad range of market participants, from institutional investors to retail traders. Regular trading will resume on Thursday, Dec. 26, giving market participants time to position themselves before the year&#8217;s final trading week.
Meanwhile, the SPDR S&amp;P 500 (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) which tracks the S&amp;P 500 saw its year-to-date returns climb by 27.35%, while that of the Invesco QQQ Trust, Series 1 (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>), which represents the Nasdaq composite, rose by 29.41%.
While traditional markets pause, Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>), Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>), Dogecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/doge/usd">DOGE</a>), and other cryptocurrencies will continue trading non-stop on global exchanges, demonstrating the digital asset market&#8217;s unique 24/7 accessibility.

Looking ahead, investors should note that while stock markets will maintain regular hours on New Year&#8217;s Eve, the bond market will close early at 2 p.m. ET on Dec 31. All U.S. markets will be closed on Jan. 1, 2025, for New Year&#8217;s Day.
The holiday closures come as Asian markets maintain varying schedules. The Hong Kong Stock Exchange will operate abbreviated sessions around Christmas, while the Shanghai Stock Exchange and Tokyo Stock Exchange will continue normal operations during this period.
Major U.S. financial institutions, including Bank of America Corp, JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co, and Citigroup Inc., will close their branches on Christmas Day, aligning with the market holiday schedule.

Is Stock Market Open Or Closed On Christmas Day 2024? Here Is What You Can Trade Today

Tesla Inc. CEO Elon Musk has raised fresh concerns about MacKenzie Scott&#8216;s charitable donations, highlighting growing tensions over billionaire philanthropy and its societal impact.
What Happened: Responding to a social media post about Scott&#8217;s donations to liberal nonprofits, Musk offered a one-word critique: &#8220;Concerning.&#8221; The comment came after author John LeFevre highlighted Scott&#8217;s contributions to organizations focused on racial equity, social justice, and LGBTQ+ rights.
Scott, who received Amazon.com Inc. shares worth billions in her 2019 divorce from Jeff Bezos, has emerged as one of America&#8217;s most prolific philanthropists. Through her Yield Giving organization, she has donated over $19 billion to more than 2,450 nonprofits since 2019, while maintaining a net worth above $30 billion due to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/24/12/42568686/mackenzie-scotts-mission-driven-investing-pushes-back-against-wealth-concentration-amazon-stock-rich-philanthropist-pledges-2-billion-in-donations">Amazon&#8217;s stock performance</a>.

&mdash; Elon Musk (@elonmusk) <a href="https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1871163247593996349?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">December 23, 2024</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
This marks Musk&#8217;s latest criticism of Scott&#8217;s giving. In March, he suggested in a now-deleted post that &#8220;super rich ex-wives who hate their former spouse&#8221; could contribute to the decline of Western civilization. Shortly after his comment, Scott announced an additional $640 million in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/03/37839087/shrugging-off-elon-musks-western-civilization-jab-jeff-bezoss-ex-wife-doubles-her-donation-efforts-t">donations to 361 organizations</a>.

What Happened: Scott recently <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/large-cap/24/11/42009316/jeff-bezos-ex-wife-mackenzie-scott-sells-more-amazon-shares">sold 11% of her Amazon holdings</a>, valued at over $8 billion, signaling a shift toward mission-aligned investments rather than traditional portfolio management. 
The debate over billionaire philanthropy has drawn in other prominent voices, including Melinda French Gates, who has publicly supported Scott&#8217;s rapid-giving approach while criticizing other tech billionaires, including Musk, for prioritizing public influence over charitable giving.

Nvidia CES 2025 Keynote: How To Watch Jensen Huang Unveil The RTX 5000 Series GPUs

U.S. Treasury yields could trade in the 4.75-5.00% range for much of 2025, according to Mohamed El-Erian, Chief Economic Advisor at Allianz, as markets digest the Federal Reserve&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42564443/santa-came-early-with-rate-cut-but-federal-reserve-brings-coal-next-year-experts-weigh-in-on-rate-cut-feds-2025-p">revised rate outlook and end-of-year dynamics</a>.
What Happened: The benchmark 10-year Treasury yield touched 4.613% on Tuesday, its highest level since May 30, before settling at 4.594% in a holiday-shortened trading session. 
The recent yield movement follows the Federal Reserve&#8217;s December meeting, where officials reduced their projected interest rate cuts for 2025 from four to two.
&#8220;The yield on the 10-year U.S. government bond is flirting again with the 4.60% level,&#8221; El-Erian wrote on X, formerly Twitter, suggesting sustained pressure on government debt prices could persist well into next year.
Rising Treasury yields typically signal heightened concerns for stock investors as they can draw money away from equities into lower-risk fixed-income securities, compress stock valuations, and discourage consumer and business borrowing &#8211; all of which can impact economic growth and corporate profits.
This impact was evident in October when stocks tumbled as the 10-year yield breached 4% for the first time since August.

Why It Matters: The yield outlook comes amid broader market optimism, with major U.S. stock indices advancing in what traders call the &#8220;Santa Claus rally&#8221; period. The S&amp;P 500, as tracked by SPDR S&amp;P 500 (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) gained 1% on Tuesday, marking its third consecutive session of gains, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 tracked by Invesco QQQ Trust, Series 1 (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>)&nbsp; rose 1.3%.
Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) led the market surge with a 7.35% jump, its strongest single-day performance since November. Other notable gainers included Walmart Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WMT#NYSE">WMT</a>) and Netflix Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>), rising 2.4% and 2.5% respectively.
Historical data suggests the year-end rally could continue, with the S&amp;P 500 having posted gains in 64 of the past 96 years during the Dec. 24-31 period, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/education/24/12/42675763/santa-rally-serial-winners-10-stocks-historically-poised-for-big-year-end-gains">averaging a 0.85% return</a>.

Lyft Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LYFT#NASDAQ">LYFT</a>) filed a lawsuit against San Francisco, accusing the city of overcharging the ride-hailing services company by $100 million in taxes from 2019 to 2023. 
Lyft argues that the city has misclassified the payments made by passengers to drivers as company revenue, which is not how Lyft operates, <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-12-24/lyft-accuses-san-francisco-of-overcharging-100-million-in-taxes">reported</a> Bloomberg on Tuesday. 
According to the company, Lyft generates revenue through fees paid by the drivers, not passenger payments, aligning with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission&#8217;s treatment of driver compensation. 
The dispute highlights ongoing challenges within the gig economy, as companies like Lyft and Uber Technologies Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UBER#NYSE">UBER</a>) face scrutiny over their contractor models. Lyft seeks refunds, including penalties and interest, for the overcharged taxes.

Lyft Sues San Francisco Over $100 Million Tax Bill, Says Payments To Drivers By Passengers Misclassified

The Mega Millions jackpot has reached $1 billion for Tuesday&#8217;s Christmas Eve drawing, marking only the seventh time in the game&#8217;s history that the prize has crossed the billion-dollar threshold.
What Happened: The winning numbers drawn on Dec. 24 are 38, 45, 14, 46, and 11, with a Mega Ball of 3 and a 3X Megaplier. The cash option stands at $448.8 million, representing the largest December prize in the game&#8217;s history.
The massive jackpot comes during what has been an unusually quiet year for lottery winners. Only three Mega Millions jackpots have been claimed in 2024, the lowest number of wins since the game&#8217;s inception.
The last winner emerged in Texas on Sep. 10, with 29 consecutive drawings passing without a grand prize winner.

For perspective, the probability of being struck by lightning or encountering a grizzly bear attack in Yellowstone National Park (1 in 3.5 million) is significantly higher.
History shows that massive <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/education/24/05/39005560/5-lottery-winners-who-wished-they-never-struck-the-jackpot">lottery wins can bring unexpected challenges</a>. Jack Whittaker, who won a $315 million Powerball jackpot on Christmas in 2002, faced numerous personal tragedies and legal disputes following his win. Abraham Shakespeare, who won $17 million in 2006, was murdered three years later by someone who befriended him after his win.
Mega Millions tickets, priced at $2 each, are available in 45 states, Washington, D.C., and the U.S. Virgin Islands. A win on Christmas Eve would mark only the second time in the game&#8217;s history that a jackpot has been claimed on Dec 24.

On Tuesday, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman turned to the users to gather their suggestions on the company&#8217;s future projects and improvements for 2025.
What Happened: Altman&#8217;s query on X, formerly Twitter elicited a variety of responses.
While many of the suggestions were geared toward refining existing models, one recurring request stood out: significant upgrades to OpenAI's Sora <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/24/12/42501018/marc-andreessen-praises-openais-sora-video-model-we-may-have-basically-just-solved-the-fundamental-challenge-of-robotics">video model</a>.

Other highly requested features included a stronger 4o replacement, seamless integrations of GPT, reasoning models, and Sora into ChatGPT, and improvements in context length and knowledge updates.
Family accounts with parental controls also made the list, with one user suggesting the ability to create accounts for their children with certain restrictions. Altman responded favorably to this idea, acknowledging the need for a &#8220;grown-up mode.&#8221;

Today's Biggest Pre-Market Stock Movers: 10 Top Gainers and Losers on Thursday

<a href="https://investorplace.com">InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice &amp; Trading Tips</a>
Movella&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/mvla-stock-quote/">MVLA</a>) stock is falling on Thursday after the movement&nbsp;digitization&nbsp;company <a href="https://www.nasdaq.com/press-release/movella-announces-voluntary-delisting-from-nasdaq-2024-03-20">announced its voluntary delisting</a> from the Nasdaq Global Market.



According to a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Movella&nbsp;shares and warrants will be delisted from the exchange on April 11, 2024. The company expects its shares to start trading on OTC Markets Group after the Nasdaq delisting.



Movella&nbsp;notes that this decision was made after receiving a delisting notice from the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC. This was sent to the company due to its share price failing to stay above the minimum bid required on the exchange.



Adding to that is the company&rsquo;s failure to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended&nbsp;Sept. 30, 2023. While Movella&nbsp;was granted a listing extension to May 13, 2024 to address these issues, it has chosen voluntary delisting instead.



<h2>How This Affects MVLA Stock</h2>



Investors aren&rsquo;t reacting well to the delisting update. While it&rsquo;s true the shares will still be tradable after the delisting, the OTC Markets Group listing won&rsquo;t demand near the same reputation that the Nasdaq one did.



MVLA stock is down 57.3% as of Thursday morning with more than 1.3 million shares traded. The company&rsquo;s daily average trading volume is below that at roughly 835,000 shares.

Five Below&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/five-stock-quote/">FIVE</a>) stock is falling on Thursday following the release of the retail company&rsquo;s earnings report for the fourth quarter of 2023.



The bad news for Five Below starts with its earnings per share of <a href="https://www.nasdaq.com/press-release/five-below-inc.-announces-fourth-quarter-and-fiscal-2023-financial-results-2024-03-20">$3.65 in Q4</a>. That&rsquo;s worse than Wall Street&rsquo;s estimate of $3.78 for the quarter. However, it was up year-over-year compared to $3.07 per share.



Another blow to FIVE stock comes from its revenue of $1.34 billion. That&rsquo;s another miss compared to analysts&rsquo; revenue estimate of $1.35 billion. Even if it&rsquo;s up 19.1% compared to $1.12 billion in the same period of the year prior.



Five Below president and CEO Joel Anderson said the following in the earnings report.




&ldquo;The benefit of strong sales performance to our profitability was offset by higher than anticipated shrink headwinds, resulting in earnings at the low end of our guidance range. We have implemented additional shrink mitigation initiatives based on our 2023 learnings. However, we expect the resulting benefits to take some time to realize, and therefore, we have not included any associated improvement in our outlook this year.&rdquo;




<h2>Guidance Hits FIVE Stock</h2>



The first quarter of 2024 isn&rsquo;t looking good for Five Below. The company&rsquo;s outlook includes EPS of 58 cents to 59 cents alongside revenue of $826 million&nbsp;to&nbsp;$846 million. Wall Street&rsquo;s estimates are for EPS of 76 cents and revenue of $851.96 million.



The company&rsquo;s full-year 2024 guidance includes EPS of $5.71&nbsp;to&nbsp;$6.22 on revenue of $3.97 billion&nbsp;to&nbsp;$4.07 billion. Analysts are estimating EPS of $6.47 and revenue of $4.11 billion for the year.



FIVE stock is down 12.4% as of Thursday morning.

Paramount Global (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/para-stock-quote/">PARA</a>) stock is a hot topic among traders on Thursday following reports that it could go private in a massive deal.



According to these reports, Paramount Global has <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/video/paramount-stock-surges-report-11b-205706115.html">received an $11 billion bid</a> from private equity firm Apollo Global Management. That&rsquo;s a hefty premium compared to its market capitalization of $8.66 billion.



It&rsquo;s worth mentioning that Paramount Global has reportedly <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/news/apollo-offers-11-billion-paramounts-185449327.html">received other offers</a> from firms seeking to take it private. Any offer would likely have to please the Redstone family, which currently controls Paramount Global through its National Amusements company.



<h2>What This Means for PARA Stock</h2>



Investors are excited about the prospect of Paramount Global going private. Any deal could result in a heavy payout for holders of the company&rsquo;s shares. This would also see the entertainment company&rsquo;s stock no longer trade on public markets.



PARA stock is up slightly during pre-market trading on Thursday morning. This comes alongside some 337,000 shares of the stock changing hands. That&rsquo;s still well below its daily average trading volume of about 17.2 million shares.



It&rsquo;s also worth mentioning that PARA shares were down 13.1% year-to-date when markets closed yesterday. The stock also got an 11.8% boost yesterday when the reports first started showing up.
