Stocks Yawn at Tax Deal, Earnings at Open

The iShares Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXX#NASDAQ">SOXX</a>) finds itself at a crossroads. JPMorgan&#8217;s latest technical update reveals that the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index, a benchmark for the iShares Semiconductor ETF, has largely&nbsp;been propelled&nbsp;to&nbsp;the upper limit of&nbsp;a multimonth trading range by a rally in AI-related stocks. 
Yet the index now faces stiff resistance near 5,400, raising questions about its ability to sustain a long-term rally without support from the more cyclical analog <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/semiconductors">semiconductor </a>group.
AI has been transforming industries and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/25/01/42921523/nvidias-lead-expands-analyst-says-ai-demand-remains-very-strong">driving demand</a> for semiconductors. Leading chipmakers like Nvidia (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) and Broadcom (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>) have led the rally, riding the AI wave. Nvidia&#8217;s advanced Blackwell GPUs and Broadcom's custom AI accelerators enjoy solid market interest. JPMorgan warns the heavy reliance on AI names could be risky, as the analog semiconductor group, closely linked with global manufacturing cycles, dawdles.
JPMorgan said the analog segment is not performing up to par and this is consistent with with the PMI level globally being around 50, indicating a certain level of pessimism. SOXX would need participation from this segment to break out of its trading range and sustain a broader rally.
&#8220;We also highlight just how correlated the analog group is to the global manufacturing cycle, with the current pricing roughly in line with a 50 global manufacturing PMI reading. That coincides with the US exceptionalism theme that seems priced across markets in other asset classes,&#8221; JPMorgan analysts said in a note. 
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Why SOXX Still Holds Promise</h3>
Despite these concerns, SOXX offers a strong value proposition for investors looking for exposure to the semiconductor industry&#8217;s growth. The ETF, which focuses solely on chip companies, is expected to capitalize on the AI spending boom. With Nvidia, Broadcom and Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>) accounting for significant portions of its portfolio, SOXX bets heavily on the sector's leaders.
Microsoft (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>), Amazon (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), Alphabet (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) and Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) alone are projected to spend $300 billion on AI infrastructure by 2025, according to a November report by Business Insider citing Morgan Stanley. This influx of investment bodes well for the ETF, which has holdings in nearly every key hardware stock involved in the AI revolution. With a 7.84% weighting in the ETF, Nvidia will expose investors to its industry leading advancements, whereas diversification within the AI hardware universe will come from Broadcom (with 10.94% weightage) and AMD (6.87%).
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Watchful Optimism</h3>
JPMorgan's analysis brings both opportunities and risks for iShares Semiconductor ETF to the spotlight. For instance, a 2-point improvement in global manufacturing PMI could open up a 20% upside for the analog semiconductor group, as analyzed by JP Morgan. This can potentially improve the overall performance of iShares Semiconductor ETF. Conversely, the dependence of the ETF on AI-driven growth makes it sensitive to setbacks of the highly fragmented broader semiconductor market.

Semiconductor ETF Faces Key Resistance In AI-Driven Surge: Analyst

Palantir Technologies Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NYSE">PLTR</a>) joined the prestigious <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/nasdaq-100">Nasdaq-100 index</a> on Dec. 23, a milestone often seen as a vote of confidence for companies with promising growth trajectories.
Yet, rather than boosting investor sentiment, the stock has since tumbled over 15%, vastly underperforming broader market benchmarks. 
For comparison, the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) slipped just 0.87%, while the tech-heavy Invesco QQQ Trust, Series 1 (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>) fell a modest 1.45% during the same period.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">High Expectations, Harsh Reality</h1>
Inclusion in the Nasdaq-100 is usually accompanied by a wave of enthusiasm. However, Palantir&#8217;s slide underscores mounting challenges facing high-growth tech firms. 
Market sentiment has turned cautious as investors question the sustainability of lofty valuations amid economic uncertainty and rising interest rates. Despite expanding its footprint in commercial sectors and securing high-profile contracts, Palantir faces skepticism over its cost structure and pathway to profitability. 
Palantir's heavy focus on government contracts and its complex business model have become key points of scrutiny.

At $67.40, PLTR stock shows divergence across key moving averages:
<ul>
<li>The eight-day SMA (simple moving average) at $73.68 and 20-day SMA at $75.60 both indicate a bearish outlook, reflecting downward short-term momentum.</li>
<li>Meanwhile, the 50-day SMA at $66.53 suggests a bullish signal, highlighting possible mid-term recovery potential.</li>
<li>The 200-day SMA at $38.10 reinforces a bullish stance, underscoring investor optimism over the long term.</li>
</ul>
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">MACD, RSI Indicators Suggest Tentative Strength</h1>
The MACD (moving average convergence/divergence) indicator reads 1.16, signaling bullish momentum as upward pressure builds. 
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) at 41.97 remains in the neutral territory, implying PLTR stock is neither overbought nor oversold, indicating a balanced market sentiment.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Balancing Bearish Signals With Recovery Potential</h1>
Despite short-term bearish indicators, Palantir&#8217;s ability to maintain key support levels signals potential for recovery. The contrast between short-term pressure and long-term bullish trends highlights the importance of closely monitoring price movements.
With market dynamics shifting, investors should brace for continued volatility, keeping a watchful eye on technical developments and broader economic conditions.
As tech stocks face heightened scrutiny, Palantir's journey on the Nasdaq-100 will be a crucial gauge of whether the company can realign investor sentiment and stabilize its market trajectory.

On Thursday, Truist initiated coverage on BioNTech SE (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BNTX#NASDAQ">BNTX</a>), a famed COVID-19 vaccine maker, in collaboration with Pfizer Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PFE#NYSE">PFE</a>).
BioNTech is transitioning from a COVID-focused narrative to a story centered on oncology drug development <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42370209/why-is-biontech-stock-trading-higher-on-friday" rel="noreferrer noopener">and upcoming catalysts.</a>
The analyst, Asthika Goonewardene, writes that BNT327 is at the forefront, a promising drug in an innovative class that could challenge and potentially surpass the PD-1 category, which generated over $42 billion in 2023.

While Summit Therapeutics Inc&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMMT#NASDAQ">SMMT</a>) ivonescimab may have a head start in certain areas, BioNTech&#8217;s stronger financial position and pipeline of complementary products give it a strategic edge. With several key data updates expected in 2025, the stock appears well-positioned for long-term growth, the analyst adds.
In November, BioNTech agreed to acquire&nbsp;Biotheus, a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on discovering and developing antibodies for&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/11/41949384/biontech-boosts-oncology-strategy-with-800-million-china-based-biotheus-acquisition" rel="noreferrer noopener">oncological or inflammatory diseases</a>.
With the acquisition, BioNTech will obtain full global rights to the late-stage clinical asset BNT327/PM8002, an investigational bispecific antibody targeting PD-L1 and VEGF-A.
Truist initiated with a Buy rating and a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/BNTX/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">price target of $172</a>.
BioNTech&#8217;s oncology pipeline was previously seen as limited in value outside BNT316. However, with BNT327 gaining traction and new data expected in 2025 to clarify the potential of other pipeline assets, there is room for greater investor appreciation of the company&#8217;s oncology portfolio, Truist analyst adds.
Goonewardene also writes that <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/11/41715307/biontech-variant-adapted-covid-19-vaccines-do-well-in-q3" rel="noreferrer noopener">COVID-19 remains a significant factor</a> in BioNTech&#8217;s stock performance and that COVID-related developments will continue to influence BioNTech&#8217;s stock.
The analyst highlights that BNT327 could be the first drug approved in the U.S. and Europe for key conditions like triple-negative breast cancer and small cell lung cancer, potentially generating around $2 billion at peak sales.
For non-small cell lung cancer, Truist expects BNT327 to follow shortly, contributing over $4 billion in revenue.
Price Action: BNTX stock is up 0.55% at $122.82 at last check Friday.

<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>Comparing Affirm Holdings'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>, Affirm Holdings's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 5.01%, which means the company has more short interest than most of its peers.
