What the Options Market Tells Us About Chevron

<p>There&#8217;s something magical about moving into a newly constructed home: the smell of recently milled wood, new paint and gleaming tiles – knowing no one has lived there before you. However, like anything in real estate, that privilege comes with a price. According to a recent report from <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/24/11/42234719/redfin-reveals-22-of-renters-say-they-have-nothing-left-after-paying-rent">Redfin</a>, asking rents for newly constructed apartments rose 1.5% – the biggest year-over-year increase in 18 months – to a median of $1,802 in the third quarter.</p>
<p><strong>Don't Miss:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Commercial real estate has historically outperformed the stock market, and<a href="https://equitymultiple.com/benzinga?invite=benzinga&amp;utm_campaign=product-promotion-earn&amp;utm_source=yahooFinance&amp;utm_medium=affiliate&amp;utm_content=stockmarket-yahoo"><strong> this platform allows individuals to invest in commercial real estate with as little as $5,000 offering a 12% target yield with a bonus 1% return boost today!</strong></a></strong></li>
<li><strong>If there was a new fund backed by Jeff Bezos offering a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/go/arrived-private-credit-yf"><strong>7-9% target yield with monthly dividends would you invest in it</strong></a>?</strong></li>
</ul>
<p>It&#8217;s a surprising stat given that the deluge of newly constructed apartments, primarily in Sunbelt states, caused rents for new apartments to fall by more than 7% in Q1 and Q2. The latest numbers reflect that the newer apartments are now being filled. Redfin based its numbers on an analysis of the U.S. Census Bureau&#8217;s data for newly constructed, unfurnished, unsubsidized, privately financed rental apartments in buildings with five or more units. Apartments completed in the second quarter of 2024 and either rented or not rented within three months were used to compile the survey.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Northeast Stumbles While Everywhere Else Soars</h2>
<p>Only the Northeast saw asking rents fall (-3.6%) after the number of recently finished apartments rose 13% year over year in the second quarter to the highest level since the fourth quarter of 2022. The rental decrease could have been due to several reasons – primarily that rents in the Northeast, particularly in places like Boston and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/24/12/42256888/as-nyc-rents-hit-new-highs-85-of-residents-look-to-buy-elsewhere-heres-what-they-find">New York</a>, were already high, with many residents moving to the Sunbelt states, according to government census data.&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>See Also: It&#8217;s no wonder Jeff Bezos holds over $70 million in art — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/masterworks-y2"><strong>this alternative asset has outpaced the S&amp;P 500 since 1995, delivering an average annual return of 11.4%. Here&#8217;s how everyday investors are getting started.</strong></a></strong></p>
<p>&#8220;We would usually predict that rents will stay flat or even potentially fall when there are so many new apartment buildings opening up. What&#8217;s interesting in the third quarter is that rents are rising by more than the national average in the West and Midwest, even after the number of new apartments spiked between 30-50%,&#8221; Redfin Senior Economist Sheharyar Bokhari said in the report. &#8220;This is likely due to more new apartments being built in more expensive metros in each region, pushing the overall levels up.&#8221;</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">High-End Finishes and Amenities</h2>
<p>The competition among new multifamily developments for tenants has led to higher-end finishes and more amenities, even among mid-priced rentals. Comfort, sustainability and catering to the increased number of work-from-home or hybrid working tenants have been at the forefront of developers&#8217; minds.</p>
<p><strong>Trending: Maker of the $60,000 foldable home has 3 factory buildings, 600+ houses built, and big plans to solve housing —<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/boxabl-y2"><strong> you can become an investor for $0.80 per share today.</strong></a></strong></p>
<p>&#8220;From state-of-the-art fitness facilities to luxurious pools, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/24/08/40168219/despite-market-challenges-multifamily-real-estate-shines-50-of-our-loans-this-year-says-industry-exp">multifamily developments</a> can bring a unique experience to day-to-day life,&#8221; Jared Bradley, president and founder of The Bradley Projects, told<a href="https://www.multifamilyexecutive.com/design-development/design/10-top-multifamily-design-trends-for-2024_o"> </a>multifamilyexecutive.com. &#8220;Small pockets of privacy for tenants to complete their work gives residents the feeling of &#8216;leaving their apartment&#8217; without stepping outside the building,&#8221; he added. &#8220;The confines of apartments can sometimes feel tight for working from home and areas designated for remote workers can allow tenants to leave their units and work from other comfortable places in their building.&#8221;</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">More Of The Same In 2025</h2>
<p>According to<a href="https://www.yardimatrix.com/publications/download/file/6638-MatrixMultifamilyNationalReport-Winter2025?signup=false"> </a>a new outlook from Yardi Matrix, rents for new developments will continue to grow in 2025, outstripping other sectors of the multifamily sector. The report stated that a &#8220;large number of properties under construction will support robust supply growth again in 2025 … which will push rents higher as the supply boom starts to fade.&#8221;</p>

Dreaming Of Moving Into A Newly Constructed Apartment? Redfin Reports The Shocking Premium For That Privilege As Rents Soar

<p><strong>Palladyne AI Corp. </strong>(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PDYN#NASDAQ">PDYN</a>) shares are trading higher on possible continued momentum Thursday. The company announced that it completed the first autonomous tracking flight using its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/12/b42647049/palladyne-ai-achieves-key-milestone-with-first-small-drone-autonomous-tracking-flight">Palladyne Pilot AI software platform</a> on Monday.</p>
<p><strong>What To Know: </strong>The test involved a third-party small drone that identified, prioritized and autonomously tracked terrestrial targets. This marked the first time Palladyne's AI platform interfaced with third-party autopilot software, enabling the drone to autonomously navigate while following a target.</p>
<p>Previously, the AI system demonstrated target identification and prioritization on stationary nodes and hovering drones. This new test flight expands the platform&#8217;s capabilities and moves it closer to commercialization, expected by the end of first-quarter 2025.</p>
<p>&#8220;Once we complete commercialization of Palladyne Pilot &#8212; which we expect to happen by the end of the&nbsp;first quarter&nbsp;of 2025 &#8212; small, economical drones will finally offer some of the same intelligence capabilities that larger, multi-million-dollar unmanned systems have had for years,&#8221; said <strong>Dr. Denis Garagic</strong>, co-founder and CTO, Palladyne AI.</p>
<p><strong>PDYN Price Action:</strong> Palladyne shares were up 44.7% at $7.15 at the time of writing, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?new_user=False&amp;backend=google-oauth2">Benzinga Pro.</a></p>

Palladyne AI Shares Are Surging Today: What you Need To know

<p><strong>AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMC#NYSE">AMC</a>) stock is spinning its wheels on Thursday despite a strong move in shares of retail darling <strong>GameStop Corp</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GME#NYSE">GME</a>). The two often trade in sympathy, but the retail crowd may have found shinier toys <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/holiday-sales">this holiday season</a>.</p>
<p><strong>What To Know:</strong> Meme stock trader&nbsp;<strong>Keith Gill</strong>,&nbsp;also known as&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/roaring-kitty" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">&#8220;Roaring Kitty,&#8221;</a>&nbsp;posted an <a href="https://x.com/TheRoaringKitty/status/1871933930963693706">image</a> of a wrapped gift in traditional Christmas colors Wednesday while markets were closed for the holiday. </p>
<p>GameStop shares were up more than 5% at last check on the heels of the Roaring Kitty post, per <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>. </p>
<p>Other so-called meme stocks were also getting a lift, including <strong>Koss Corp</strong> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KOSS#NASDAQ">KOSS</a>) and <strong>BlackBerry Ltd</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BB#NYSE">BB</a>). But AMC was trading flat to down after jumping briefly at the open. </p>
<p>AMC is considered one of the original meme stocks alongside GameStop. The stock has maintained cult-like support from a group of retail traders who call themselves apes since the meme stock craze of 2021. </p>
<p>AMC CEO <strong>Adam Aron</strong> has leaned into the support from retail traders. He <a href="https://x.com/CEOAdam/status/1871919103780548802">reposted</a> multiple X posts on Wednesday featuring images of apes watching movies at AMC theaters. </p>
<p><strong>Check This Out: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/24/12/42679610/roaring-kittys-christmas-post-has-gamestop-rallying-7-in-overnight-trading-memecoin-connected-to-trader-also-surge">Roaring Kitty&#8217;s &#8216;Christmas&#8217; Post Has GameStop Rallying 7% In Overnight Trading — Memecoin Connected To Trader Also Surge</a></strong></p>
<p><strong>Imax Corp</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IMAX#NYSE">IMAX</a>) CEO <strong>Rich Gelfond</strong> also provided strong commentary on recent box office strength in an interview on CNBC&#8217;s &#8220;Squawk On The Street&#8221; Thursday morning. </p>
<p>&#8220;The great thing about this time of year is every day is like a weekend &#8230; so a lot of momentum at the end of the year,&#8221; Gelfond said.</p>
<p>He noted that box office demand has been &#8220;really terrific&#8221; since Thanksgiving and suggested that a lot of families were visiting theaters on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.</p>
<p>All of this seems to bode well for AMC, yet the stock is struggling to gain any momentum on Thursday. Instead, traders appear to guess Roaring Kitty&#8217;s next move.</p>
<p>Gill took a position in <strong>Chewy Inc</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CHWY#NYSE">CHWY</a>) stock earlier this year and telegraphed the move by posting a picture of a dog on X before disclosing a 6.6% stake in the pet retailer a few days later. He <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41614177/roaring-kitty-puts-chewy-stock-in-the-litter-box-gamestop-shares-move-higher-after-hours">dumped</a> his entire position in September.</p>
<p>Meme stocks began heating up again in early December after Gill&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/social-media/24/12/42349100/gamestop-rockets-as-roaring-kitty-returns-to-x-what-does-his-tweet-signal-ahead-of-q3-earnings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">posted an image</a>&nbsp;of a TIME magazine cover featuring a blank computer screen and a video player paused at the 1:09 mark of a 4:20-long video. His only other post since is the image of a present posted on Wednesday. </p>
<p>There is a lot of speculation about what Roaring Kitty could be planning. One of the most popular guesses across Reddit&#8217;s r/WallStreetBets and Stocktwits appears to be a bet on <strong>Tilray Brands Inc</strong> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TLRY#NASDAQ">TLRY</a>). Tilray fits into the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/420">420 theme</a> and is due to report earnings before the market opens on Jan. 9, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>. Tilray was up about 4% at last check.</p>
<p>GameStop shares are up about 5% over the past month and are up more than 46% over the past three months. AMC shares, on the other hand, are down about 18% over the past month and are down about 8% over a three-month period.</p>
<p><strong>AMC Price Action:</strong> AMC shares were down 0.37% at $4.05 at the time of publication, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>.</p>
