Keybanc Maintains Overweight on Palo Alto Networks, Lowers Price Target to $380

Bank of America Securities analyst Justin Post maintained Alphabet Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) with a Buy and raised the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/GOOGL/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">price target from $200 to $206</a>.
Alphabet is the first in the online media group to report on July 23, and Post expects results to set a positive backdrop for the group.
The analyst slightly raised his Search estimates to 12% year-on-year (versus 11% prior) and now expects second-quarter revenue and EPS of $70.9 billion and $1.91 vs Street at $70.6 billion and $1.84.

Post noted upside to Street estimates as his checks suggest AI integrations driving higher usage and ad Click-Through Rates (CTRs), Search revenue stability aided by improving macro and AI-driven ad spend, and YouTube strength from ramping Shorts monetization and less-than-expected headwinds from Prime Video.
Post expects flat Y/Y headcount growth (up 1,500 Q/Q) with ongoing restructuring aiding costs.
The analyst expects $22.7 billion in operating expenditures and core margins to increase 183bps Y/Y to 37.2%. Post also expects higher other income to help drive EPS upside (NASDAQ up 8% in the second quarter).
According to Post, second-quarter positives include Search upside, positive commentary on AI overviews driving higher usage &amp; CTRs, Shorts driving higher traffic &amp; revenue upside, and Cloud strength as IT dollars shift toward AI.
Post remains optimistic about growing AI integrations across Google&#8217;s ecosystem and noted that a broader rollout of AI overviews will help drive higher activity in the core Search business.
AI use poses a long-term competitive risk, but in the near term, he noted revenue upside from AI-driven monetization improvements will be a critical second-quarter takeaway.
Moreover, focusing on expense management, Post noted that Y/Y margin growth in 2024 will be a bright spot and potential EPS upside driver.
Given the market multiple expansion (lower rates), the analyst raised his price target.
Price Action: GOOGL shares are trading lower by 2.02% at $180.25 at last check Wednesday.

Starbucks and Mercedes-Benz Rev Up EV Charging Along I-5: A Green Drive from Canada to Mexico

America's largest cannabis companies are reconsidering their stance on hemp-derived products. Historically, they pushed for them to remain illegal. However, some companies, such as Curaleaf (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CURLF#OTC">CURLF</a>), have recently changed strategy.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Curaleaf&#8217;s New Direction</h3>
A key player in the industry, Curaleaf has made a surprising shift from its previous stance, which was clear. As <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/willyakowicz/2021/07/01/the-fight-over-delta-8-thc-products-is-a-battle-for-the-future-of-the-cannabis-industry/">stated</a> in Forbes, a former CEO remarked, "I think it should be framed as one of the most high-profile health risks available in the marketplace today." The concern was that unregulated hemp derived-THC products posed health risks and were too easily available to minors.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Hemp Company's Market Entry</h3>
Curaleaf's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/06/39464801/curaleafs-new-online-cannabis-storefront-to-debut-hemp-derived-thc-products-just-in-time-for-jul">new platform</a>, The Hemp Company, joins a market dominated by companies like <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/23/11/35730223/transform-your-sleep-with-these-6-popular-hemp-products">3Chi</a>, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/05/35598477/mitch-mcconnells-cannabis-gambit-how-the-farm-bill-unwittingly-fueled-a-thc-boom">Bearly Legal Hemp Co</a>., Diamond CBD, Skyhio, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/22/12/29940134/can-you-get-high-from-smoking-hemp-now-you-can-with-boston-hemps-thca-bud">Boston Hempire</a>, Area 5 and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/22/06/27588006/hometown-hero-cbd-introduces-hemp-derived-delta-9-thc-salt-water-taffy">Hometown Hero</a>. The platform features gummies and drinks with this labeling: "This product contains Delta-9 THC derived from hemp. This product is 2018 Federal Farm Bill compliant and contains a total Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol concentration that does not exceed 0.3% by dry weight. THC is intoxicating and affects everyone differently. Use responsibly."
In this manner, Curaleaf is shifting strategies in a move that leverages today&#8217;s cannabis industry landscape. The company is selling in the legal cannabis market as well as on the &#8220;grey&#8221; hemp but nevertheless legal market.
This move also highlights a broader divide in the cannabis industry. On one side, companies like Curaleaf see the economic potential of hemp-derived products. They are leveraging the legal framework of the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/07/39783607/how-hemp-became-americas-loophole-for-legal-highs"> 2018 Farm Bill</a>. On the other hand, groups like the U.S. Cannabis Council are pushing for banning these products, arguing that the lack of oversight leads to consumer safety issues and easy access for minors.

Recent legislative actions reflect this divide. The U.S. House Committee on Agriculture passed an amendment to close the loophole in the 2018 Farm Bill. The amendment would eliminate most hemp-derived products. The hemp industry opposes this move, arguing it would devastate small businesses and hemp farmers. State-level actions have <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/07/39690898/no-more-getting-high-on-hemp-in-america-multiple-states-begin-intoxicating-hemp-crackdown">varied</a>. New York has banned Delta-8 THC products, citing health concerns. Colorado and Oregon have strict regulations aligning with their marijuana markets. Texas , a giant hemp derivatives market recently <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/04/38226058/is-gas-station-weed-on-its-way-out-u-s-cannabis-council-proposes-regulation-of-delta-8-texas-wan">stopped</a> a bill banning Delta-8 THC, which will likely be revisited in the future.
Taking a different approach, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/07/39637557/delta-8-thc-hemp-regulation-moves-forward-in-nj-sparks-debate-between-alcohol-and-cannabis-indus">New Jersey</a> recently legalized hemp derivatives for use in beverages. This move signals a progressive step in integrating hemp products into mainstream consumer markets, which could also play a part in the strategy shift undertaken by Curaleaf.
This battle over hemp derivatives will no doubt continue, reflecting the dynamic and contentious landscape of the cannabis industry.

Micron Technology Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MU#NASDAQ">MU</a>) shares are trading lower by 5.19% to $120.87 Wednesday morning. Semiconductor stocks are seeing a decline as reports suggest President Biden might implement <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/07/39813495/why-key-apple-nvidia-supplier-tsmcs-shares-are-plunging-in-wednesdays-premarket">additional restrictions</a> on China. This comes alongside Republican nominee Donald Trump&#8217;s remarks about the China-Taiwan conflict during a Bloomberg interview. The sector&#8217;s performance is also impacted by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39813829/asml-reports-q2-results-joins-spirit-airlines-and-other-big-stocks-moving-lower-in-wednesdays-pre-ma">weak guidance</a> from ASML.
TSMC is a crucial foundry for many semiconductor companies, including those in the United States. While Micron manufactures a significant portion of its products internally, the general market dynamics influenced by TSMC&#8217;s business can impact Micron.
Trump&#8217;s comments about Taiwan taking &#8220;100% of our chip business&#8221; highlight the heavy reliance of the U.S. semiconductor industry on Taiwanese manufacturing. This dependency raises concerns about potential supply chain disruptions, especially amidst geopolitical tensions between China and Taiwan.
Negative sentiment towards TSMC due to geopolitical risks can spill over to other semiconductor companies, including Micron, as investors worry about the stability of the supply chain and potential future disruptions.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy MU Stock</h2>
By now you're likely curious about how to participate in the market for Micron Technology &#8211; be it to purchase shares, or even attempt to bet against the company.
Buying shares is typically done through a brokerage account. You can find a list of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-stock-trading-platforms">possible trading platforms here.</a> Many will allow you to buy ‘fractional shares,' which allows you to own portions of stock without buying an entire share. For example, some stock, like Berkshire Hathaway, or Amazon.com, can cost thousands of dollars to own just one share. However, if you only want to invest a fraction of that, brokerages will allow you to do so. 
In the the case of Micron Technology, which is trading at $121.07 as of publishing time, $100 would buy you 0.83 shares of stock.
If you're looking to bet against a company, the process is more complex. You'll need access to an options trading platform, or a broker who will allow you to ‘go short' a share of stock by lending you the shares to sell. The process of shorting a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock">stock can be found at this resource.</a> Otherwise, if your broker allows you to trade options, you can either buy a put option, or sell a call option at a strike price above where shares are currently trading &#8211; either way it allows you to profit off of the share price decline.
MU has a 52-week high of $157.54 and a 52-week low of $61.75.
