FedEx Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FDX#NYSE">FDX</a>) is set to report its fiscal second-quarter results on Thursday after the closing bell and analysts are expecting a<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/12/42496990/trump-eyes-privatization-of-postal-service-amid-9-5-billion-loss"> decline in earnings.</a> 
What To Know: FedEx reported disappointing first-quarter results in September with adjusted earnings nearly 25% below consensus estimates. The company cited a mix-shift that trended toward higher volumes of less profitable freight and weakness in its industrial and manufacturing customers.&nbsp;
"The soft industrial economy is clearly weighing on the [business-to-business] volumes. And it was definitely much weaker than we expected," FedEx CEO Raj Subramaniam said on the company's most recent earnings call.&nbsp;

FedEx is often seen as a bellwether for the economy because shipping volumes correlate with both industrial and consumer demand.&nbsp;
Investors will be looking at the performance of FedEx&#8217;s Express unit which could be affected by demand-induced volume weakness and listening for more information on the potential spinoff of its Freight business.&nbsp;
Investors will be looking for updates on FedEx&#8217;s DRIVE cost-cutting program, which aims to achieve $4 billion in savings by fiscal 2025.&nbsp;
What Else: President-elect Donald Trump suggested <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42545204/marjorie-taylor-greene-pushes-to-sell-off-usps-amid-doge-momentum-we-need-to-privatize-ive-been-saying-it-for-years">the possibility </a>of privatizing the U.S. Postal Service, which could benefit FedEx and other private parcel carriers like United Parcel Service, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UPS#NYSE">UPS</a>). 
"There is talk about the Postal Service being taken private, you do know that — not the worst idea I've ever heard," Trump told reporters at Mar-a-Lago on Monday. "It's a lot different today between Amazon and UPS and FedEx, and all the things you didn't have."
Expert Ideas: Last week, Bernstein analyst David Vernon <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/FDX/analyst-ratings">downgraded</a> FedEx from Outperform to Market Perform and lowered the price target from $337 to $316 ahead of its second-quarter report.&nbsp;
Citi analysts wrote Friday that the coming earnings report &#8220;could be one of the most consequential quarters in years&#8221; for FedEx, per Investopedia.&nbsp;
FedEx will report its second-quarter financial results after Thursday's closing bell and will host a conference call to discuss the results at 5:30 p.m. ET the same day. According to estimates from <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/?gspk=YWRhbWVja2VydDUzMzY&amp;gsxid=zBMR4PKmcgBw">Benzinga Pro</a>, analysts expect the company to report earnings of $3.91 per share on quarterly revenue of $22.12 billion.&nbsp;
FDX Price Action: According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/?gspk=YWRhbWVja2VydDUzMzY&amp;gsxid=zBMR4PKmcgBw">Benzinga Pro</a>, FedEx shares ended Wednesday's session down 1.54% at $273.16.&nbsp;

FedEx Braces For Q2 Earnings: 'One Of The Most Consequential Quarters In Years,' Analyst Says

Super Micro Computer Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMCI#NASDAQ">SMCI</a>) shares fell 4.64% to $32.23 Wednesday following the Federal Reserve's December meeting.
Growth-focused companies like SMCI are particularly sensitive to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/12/42563299/feds-powell-shocks-markets-its-a-new-phase-were-significantly-closer-to-neutral">interest rate changes</a>, as higher borrowing costs can dampen investment in technology infrastructure.
What To Know: The Fed lowered the federal funds rate by 25 basis points to a range of 4.25%-4.5%, marking its third consecutive cut. However, the updated economic projections signaled a slower pace of rate reductions in 2025, with only two additional cuts expected. The Fed also raised its inflation forecast, projecting core PCE inflation at 2.5% in 2025, up from 2.2% in September.
The prospect of sustained higher rates adds pressure on companies like SMCI, with customers who often rely on favorable financing conditions for large-scale IT projects. Additionally, higher inflation could squeeze margins as operating costs rise.
The broader tech sector also faced selling pressure, amplifying SMCI's decline. The company's performance remains tied to macroeconomic trends, with investors reassessing growth prospects amid a slower-than-expected path to monetary easing.

<h1 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy SMCI Stock</h1>
By now you're likely curious about how to participate in the market for Super Micro Computer — 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 &#8220;fractional shares,&#8221; which allows you to own portions of stock without buying an entire share. For example, some stock, like Berkshire Hathaway, 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 Super Micro Computer, which is trading at $32.23 as of publishing time, $100 would buy you 3.1 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 &#8220;go short&#8221; 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 — either way it allows you to profit off of the share price decline.
According to data from&nbsp;<a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro</a>, SMCI has a 52-week high of $122.90 and a 52-week low of $17.25.

The ProShares UltraPro QQQ (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TQQQ#NASDAQ">TQQQ</a>), which provides triple-leveraged exposure to the Nasdaq-100 Index, fell some 10.81% to $82.09 Wednesday after the Federal Reserve's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/econ-s/24/12/42561549/fed-slashes-interest-rates-by-0-25-as-predicted-december-dot-plot-flags-only-2-potential-cuts-in-2025">December meeting</a>.
What To Know: The ETF is sensitive to bullish sentiment in tech stocks, which struggled amid concerns over the Fed's cautious outlook on monetary easing.
While the Fed reduced the federal funds rate by 25 basis points to a range of 4.25%-4.5%, projections for only two additional rate cuts in 2025 dampened investor enthusiasm.

Higher inflation expectations for 2025, with core PCE inflation now forecast at 2.5%, further weighed on growth stocks.
Tech-heavy indices, which benefit from lower borrowing costs, faced headwinds as the Fed signaled a slower pace of rate reductions than markets had previously anticipated. Wednesday&#8217;s decline could reflect renewed uncertainty about the growth sector's ability to thrive in a persistently higher-rate environment.
According to data from&nbsp;<a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro</a>, TQQQ has a 52-week high of $93.79 and a 52-week low of $45.47.

Editor&#8217;s note: This story has been corrected to state that MicroStrategy&#8217;s dollar cost average price for Bitcoin is below, not above, the current price of the cryptocurrency. 
With Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) prices peaking to all-time high levels, MicroStrategy's (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>) aggressive Bitcoin accumulation strategy has once again become a focal point in discussions among <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/12/42503221/microstrategy-shares-surge-nearly-7-amid-nasdaq-100-inclusion-and-bitcoins-new-record-high">traders and analysts</a>.
What Happened: In a tweet on Monday, industry expert Alex Kolicich addressed common misconceptions about MSTR in a recent tweet, explaining that the stock is neither a leveraged nor a synthetic call option on Bitcoin. 
Instead, Kolicich pointed out several structural inefficiencies:
<ul>
<li>MSTR trades at a 140% premium to its Bitcoin holdings&#8217; net asset value (NAV).</li>
<li>Each $1 invested in MSTR stock provides only $0.45 of Bitcoin exposure, far less than direct Bitcoin ownership.</li>
</ul>
Kolicich further <a href="https://x.com/AlexKolicich/status/1868705490387321177">elaborated</a> that MicroStrategy is not leveraged but instead deleveraged, offering reduced Bitcoin exposure compared to direct investments. 
He highlighted alternatives like BITX, which provide 2x leverage without a NAV premium.
Additionally, while traditional call options on assets typically offer leveraged upside due to their long volatility exposure, MSTR's convertible bonds effectively short volatility, diluting shareholder returns as Bitcoin prices rise.

Why It Matters: Crypto trader TheFlowHorse on Dec. 17 in a post on X emphasized the implications of Saylor&#8217;s aggressive Bitcoin purchases, noting that these acquisitions have significantly raised MicroStrategy's DCA to $61,000. 
This figure is approximately 40% lower than Bitcoin's current price, introducing potential risks if prices fall significantly.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">Take a look at Saylor&#39;s recent Bitcoin buys.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>

Analysts warn that while Bitcoin&#8217;s pullbacks have historically been rare, Saylor's strategy could leave MSTR exposed to potential downside risk, especially with its C-Corp structure subject to double taxation, unlike <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/12/42275232/leveraged-microstrategy-etfs-are-playing-with-fire-experts-warn">more efficient ETFs</a>.

On Wednesday, House Republicans rejected Speaker Mike Johnson's proposed spending bill that would have extended federal funding until March 14 and averted a<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42544562/congressional-leaders-reach-bipartisan-deal-to-avert-government-shutdown"> government shutdown. </a>&nbsp;
The Details: President-elect Donald Trump and Elon Musk joined a large portion of House GOP members in opposing the compromise bill which included numerous Democratic policy priorities.&nbsp;

Some of the Republican-contested late additions from Democrats included a pay raise for members of Congress, new regulations for health plan administrators and federal funds to rebuild the collapsed Francis Scott Key Bridge.

Entrepreneur and investor Mark Cuban has been an outspoken critic of Elon Musk and the X social media platform. In a recent interview, Cuban shares what sets Bluesky apart from X and why he's spending<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/social-media/24/12/42421291/alexandria-ocasio-cortez-aoc-hits-1-million-followers-with-top-bluesky-account-mark-cuban-gains-popularity-jack-dorsey-notably-absent"> more time there.</a>
Why Cuban Loves Bluesky: Alternate platforms to X, formerly known as Twitter, such as Bluesky and Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>)-owned Threads have <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/social-media/24/12/42305424/threads-takes-on-x-bluesky-with-new-search-options-making-it-easier-for-you">seen a rise</a> in user growth after the 2024 presidential election.
Cuban is spending more time on Bluesky where his 775,000 plus <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/mcuban.bsky.social">followers </a>make him one of the most followed accounts. Cuban has 8.8 million <a href="https://x.com/mcuban/">followers </a>on X for comparison.
During a recent <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oEK2063FPLw">interview </a>with Jules Terpak, Cuban discussed the current climate of social media and said that all the platforms are algorithmically driven except for one, naming Bluesky as the outlier.
"There's no algorithm," Cuban said.
Cuban highlighted several features of Bluesky during the interview including the limited number of bots, an "old school" chronological order and the ability to make your own lists with the open-source code.
When it comes to what sets Bluesky apart from X, Cuban highlighted one item as the "holy grail." "You truly own your threads."
Cuban said Bluesky users have complete control over the threads on their posts, including the quote replies. "There's a hide for everyone and there's a block that really works."
The entrepreneur said he saw a high volume of people come over from X to Bluesky to troll him during the 2024 election sharing memes and what he referenced as the "Rachel Maddow" pictures, which compare the TV host and investor's resemblance. Cuban said he could block people and hide the replies on posts from trolls for everyone.
Cuban says he sees a lower volume of trolls on Bluesky versus X, where he can't even engage with anyone anymore due to the trolls. The investor recently counted 246 replies on a post on Bluesky and only five were from trolls.
On Bluesky, Cuban is having engaging conversations with people and making fun posts for the first time in years on topics he enjoys talking with others about.
"People have lost the connection to just have normal engagement."
Cuban said his followers on Bluesky are far more engaging than on Twitter, referencing a Bluesky post that recently got 110,000 likes.
"The engagement is insane. You can have a social friendly, intellectual conversation on Bluesky."

TikTok Ban: During the interview, Cuban and Terpak also discussed the pending ban of TikTok in the U.S. unless the company's U.S. division is sold off.
Cuban said he loved the old TikTok and referenced being on the musical.ly platform, which went on to become TikTok, saying he tried to invest in that precursor company.
TikTok changed the world with quick videos, dance and attention grabbing content, but a push to make money made the platform feel more corporate, Cuban added.
To fight off a potential ban, TikTok brought in Cuban for a meeting to share suggestions on how to get around the troubles, he told Terpak. Cuban said he suggested to the company to have an output in the form of a url for the feed of videos watched by anyone 16 and under.
This would make it to where parents would be able to go back and see the list and watch videos their children had watched at any given time. Cuban said this would be good for parents and a governmental perspective to make sure there wasn't propaganda forced on people.
Cuban was asked what the biggest takeaway from TikTok is if the platform is banned.
"The biggest learning is he who controls the algorithm wins."
Cuban said TikTok was an early winner of using an algorithm to put content that people would like in front of them based on what they were watching and were liking.
While there is a potential ban date of Jan. 19 for TikTok in the U.S., which is the day before President Donald Trump's inauguration, Cuban is skeptical this will be the last day anyone sees TikTok videos.
"TikTok will sue and won't get closed on the 19th, that I'm confident of."
Cuban also referenced one of Trump's friends having a stake in the company, which is likely in reference to investor Jeff Yass, who is a Republican megadonor, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/social-media/24/03/37722366/why-did-donald-trump-change-his-mind-about-tiktok-follow-the-money-says-rep-nancy-pelosi">owning a 15% stake</a> in TikTok parent ByteDance.

Lennar Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LEN#NYSE">LEN</a>) shares are sinking in Wednesday&#8217;s after-hours session after the company reported worse-than-expected financial results for the fourth quarter. Here&#8217;s a look at the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/12/n42564471/lennar-reports-fourth-quarter-and-fiscal-2024-results">key metrics from the quarter</a>.
<ul>
<li>Q4 Revenue: $9.95 billion, versus <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/earnings">estimates</a> of $10.08 billion</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Q4 Adjusted EPS: $4.03, versus estimates of $4.16</li>
</ul>
Lennar said deliveries decreased 7% year-over-year to 22,206 homes. New orders in the period declined 3% to 16,895 homes, below the low end of the company&#8217;s previous guidance of 19,000 homes. The homebuilder had a backlog of 11,633 homes with an estimated value of $5.4 billion at quarter&#8217;s end.
Lennar reported homebuilding operating earnings of $1.5 billion, financial services operating earnings of $154 million and a multifamily operating loss of approximately $200,000. The company ended the quarter with homebuilding cash and cash equivalents of $4.7 billion, and total liquidity of approximately $7.6 billion.
&#8220;In the course of our&nbsp;fourth quarter, the housing market that appeared to be improving as the Fed cut short-term interest rates, proved to be far more challenging as mortgage rates rose almost 100 basis points through the quarter,&#8221; said Stuart Miller, executive chairman and co-CEO of Lennar.
&#8220;Even while demand remained strong, and the chronic supply shortage continued to drive the market, our results were driven by affordability limitations from higher interest rates.&#8221;
Lennar said it repurchased $521 million of its common stock during the quarter.
What&#8217;s Next: Lennar expects first-quarter deliveries of 17,000 to 17,500 homes. The company also guided for full-year 2025 deliveries of 86,000 to 88,000 homes. Lennar expects first-quarter gross margin to be between 19% and 19.25%, down from 22.1% in the fourth quarter.
&#8220;At this time, we will not guide to full-year gross margin until we have a better sense of market conditions as the year unfolds,&#8221; Miller said.
LEN Price Action: Lennar shares were down 7.49% after hours, trading at $135 at the time of publication Wednesday, per <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>.
