How Is The Market Feeling About Builders FirstSource?

<p><strong>Fubotv Inc&nbsp;</strong>(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FUBO#NYSE">FUBO</a>) shares are moving higher Thursday. After becoming oversold, the recent downtrend may have ended. A new uptrend may be forming.</p>
<p>Our team of technical analysts has made it our <strong>Stock of the Day.</strong></p>
<p>The term oversold refers to a stock's momentum. Momentum is a measurement of the distance it has moved between time period A and time period B.</p>
<p>There are dozens if not hundreds of ways to measure momentum. These are called momentum indicators or oscillators.</p>
<p>Many new traders put a large number of these indicators on their charts. They think that more is better and they will have a good chance of identifying low-risk trading ideas.</p>
<p>But it may make sense to only use two or three of these indicators, master them and learn their nuances. For example, the lower part of the chart is the Relative Strength Index (RSI) momentum indicator.</p>
<p>Indicators usually have default settings. The default of the RSI is to measure the amount a stock has moved over 14 time periods.</p>
<p><figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1489" height="816" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/02140305/1-1024x561.png" alt="" class="wp-image-715876" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/02140305/1-1024x561.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/02140305/1-300x164.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/02140305/1-768x421.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/02140305/1.png 1489w" sizes="(max-width: 1489px) 100vw, 1489px" /></figure></p>

<p>Between time period A and time period B, 14 days later, a stock may make a huge move up or down and then reverse and end up at the same price the measurement started at. Because RSI measures the difference between the prices between A and B, it will not account for these large movements.</p>
<p>This means the indicator may show a stock's momentum to be neutral when it is actually overbought or oversold.</p>
<p>RSI also has thresholds to identify overbought or oversold conditions. The default threshold for being overbought is exceeding the 70 level on the right side of the chart. The default setting for being oversold is when RSI drops to 30 or below.</p>
<p>Sometimes, the default settings can provide accurate signals. But sometimes traders can use different settings to obtain better results.</p>
<p>As you can see on the chart, when the RSI for Fubotv drops to 35, it is oversold. Since May each time this happened was a good time to buy. The RSI never reached 30. If a trader used the default settings, they would have missed these trades.</p>
<p>The &#8220;personality&#8221; of Fubotv is to be oversold when RSI reaches 35.</p>
<p>Instead of using a large number of momentum indicators, a trader may have better results if they only use a few and learn their nuances. The chart of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/FUBO">Fubotv</a> is a good illustration of this.</p>

Where Sage Therapeutics Stands With Analysts

<p><strong>Do Kwon</strong>, co-founder of Terraform Labs, the incubator of <strong>TerraUSD</strong> (CRYPTO: USTC) and <strong>Luna</strong> (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">LUNC</a>), is set to face criminal fraud charges in a U.S. court following his <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/12/42709119/terra-luna-co-founder-do-kwon-to-be-extradited-to-the-us-report">extradition from Montenegro</a>.</p>
<p><strong>What Happened: </strong>Kwon is expected to appear before U.S. Magistrate Judge <strong>Robert Lehrburger </strong>in a Manhattan federal court on Thursday afternoon, <a href="https://www.scmp.com/news/world/united-states-canada/article/3293212/former-cryptocurrency-executive-do-kwon-appear-us-court-criminal-fraud-charges?module=perpetual_scroll_0&amp;pgtype=article">according</a> to the South China Morning Post.</p>
<p>Kwon has been charged with multiple counts of commodities fraud, conspiracy, securities fraud and wire fraud related to the collapse Luna and TerraUSD in 2022, which resulted in an estimated $40 billion loss.</p>
<p><strong>Why It Matters: </strong>The extradition marks the end of a prolonged legal battle involving competing requests from the U.S. and South Korea. </p>
<p>Montenegro Minister of Justice <strong>Bojan Božović</strong> ultimately authorized Kwon&#8217;s transfer to the U.S., citing factors such as the gravity of the alleged offenses and the sequence of extradition requests.</p>
<p>Kwon agreed to pay an $80 million civil fine in June 2024, having been banned from cryptocurrency transactions as part of a $4.55 billion settlement with the SEC. </p>
<p>He has denied any wrongdoing related to the charges.</p>
<p>The case has drawn significant attention in the crypto world, with the TerraUSD token experiencing a 4% surge following news of Kwon&#8217;s extradition.</p>
<p>Kwon&#8217;s legal troubles follow other high-profile, such as <strong>Sam Bankman-Fried</strong>&#8216;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41141962/remember-sbfs-i-didnt-stash-billions-away-the-latest-ftx-repayment-update-may-have-other-ideas">conviction and sentencing</a>, and <strong>Alex Mashinsky</strong>&#8216;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/12/42307121/celsius-network-founder-alex-mashinsky-pleads-guity-to-two-counts-of-fraud-including-manipulating-in-house-cryptos-price">guilty plea</a> related to the Celsius Network collapse.</p>

Market Whales and Their Recent Bets on BROS Options

<p><strong>Goldman Sachs</strong> analyst Tina Hou maintained a Buy rating on <strong>Li Auto Inc</strong> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LI#NASDAQ">LI</a>) with a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/LI/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">price target of $36</a>.</p>
<p>Li Auto is a leading pure New Energy Vehicle (NEV) player, with a 5% NEV market share in China as of the first quarter of 2024 (17% and 39% market share in China's premium PV and premium NEV market, respectively).</p>
<p>As Hou noted, the company will have the most potent model pipeline of 5 new launches and the most vigorous sales network expansion of 400 stores in 2024.</p>
<p><strong><em>Also Read:</em></strong><em> <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/01/42767647/chinese-stocks-drop-as-manufacturing-growth-slows-and-geopolitical-tensions-hit" rel="noreferrer noopener">Chinese Stocks Drop As Manufacturing Growth Slows And Geopolitical Tensions Hit</a></em></p>
<p>The analyst expects the competitive positioning of Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV) models and deepening sales network to drive another leg of growth for Li Auto.</p>
<p>With continued scale economics and operating leverage, Hou expects Li Auto to deliver the fastest earnings growth and generate top-tier free cash flow among her China auto OEM coverage.</p>
<p>Over the past six months, Hou noted signs that Li Auto has not only caught up with industry leaders in terms of urban NOA (navigate on autopilot) performance but has also become one of the best in the market. The improvement has resulted in a higher take-rate of its Max version models and an improved vehicle gross margin.</p>
<p>Looking into 2025, the company expects to achieve L3 autonomous driving capability utilizing its current "End-to-End + VLM" architecture and MPI (mile per intervention) of 1 takeover per 500km.</p>
<p>With Li Auto's strengthening focus on AI and visible improvements in its urban NOA performance, Hou noted the company is well positioned to benefit from the ongoing intelligent driving trend, supporting volume growth with a better Max version blend, margin improvement, and ongoing BOM cost reduction.</p>
<p>Hou projected fiscal 2024 revenue of 144.13 billion Chinese yuan and EPS of 3.30 Chinese yuan.</p>
<p><strong>Price Action:</strong> LI stock is up 1.04% at $24.24 at last check Thursday.</p>

Goldman Sachs Sees Strong Upside In Li Auto on New Model Pipeline and Autonomous Driving Advances

<p>Despite ongoing legal challenges, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/tiktok" rel="noreferrer noopener">TikTok</a> content creators refuse to prepare for a potential U.S. ban on the app that helped them garner millions of followers in four years, the Wall Street Journal <a target="_blank" href="https://www.wsj.com/tech/a-tiktok-ban-looms-creators-say-theyll-believe-it-when-they-see-it-6727dd67" rel="noreferrer noopener">reports</a>.</p>
<p>The ban, which will take effect on January 19, stems from a law requiring TikTok to be sold to a non-Chinese owner.</p>
<p>TikTok and its parent company, ByteDance lawyers, have appealed to the Supreme Court to halt the ban pending their appeal&nbsp;to a lower-court ruling.</p>

<p>A lot seems to be brewing in the social media landscape as President-elect Donald Trump prepares to take charge in January. Trump has fueled hope among TikTok supporters by urging the Supreme Court to delay the law&#8217;s implementation.</p>
<p>TikTok has become a critical platform for creators and advertisers, accounting for ~4% of the U.S. digital ad market, the WSJ cites eMarketer.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;TikTok, boasting 170 million U.S. users, estimated that creators could lose $300 million in monthly earnings upon a ban.</p>
<p>In 2020, then-President Donald Trump called the app&nbsp;a &#8220;national security&#8221; risk <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/20/09/17671544/judge-blocks-trump-order-on-tiktok-just-hours-before-ban-goes-into-effect" rel="noreferrer noopener">since&nbsp;it is owned by</a> a Beijing-based parent company.&nbsp;<strong>ByteDance Ltd.</strong>, which launched TikTok in 2018 after acquiring&nbsp;Shanghai-based video app Musical.ly for&nbsp;$1 billion,&nbsp;could gather data on Americans on behalf of Chinese authorities, he had said.</p>
<p>However, a federal judge has halted the Trump Administration&#8217;s ban on <strong>TikTok</strong>. Then, Trump forced a sale of TikTok to U.S. companies, with Bytedance still holding a majority stake.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, advertisers have contingency plans to redirect ad spending to platforms such as <strong>Meta Platforms Inc</strong> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) Instagram and <strong>Alphabet Inc</strong> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) YouTube upon a TikTok ban.</p>
<p>Reportedly, ByteDance <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/long-ideas/24/12/42725613/tiktok-parent-plans-7-billion-ai-push-with-nvidia-chips" rel="noreferrer noopener">plans to spend</a> $7 billion on <strong>Nvidia Corp</strong> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) chips outside China to accomplish its artificial intelligence ambitions, signifying growing ties between Chinese and U.S. companies despite the U.S. semiconductor embargo on China.</p>
<p>Recently, <strong>Amazon.Com Inc </strong>(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>)<strong> </strong>also tapped <strong>TikTok</strong> targeting $1 billion in sales boost through <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/08/40294494/amazon-teams-up-with-tiktok-pinterest-for-shoppable-ads-analyst-sees-1b-payoff" rel="noreferrer noopener">in-app shopping ads</a>.</p>
