Shares of Spirit Airlines Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SAVE#NYSE">SAVE</a>) plunged by 62.73% in after-hours and closed nearly 5.29% lower at $3.22 apiece on Tuesday after the company failed to file its earnings for the quarter ended September 2024. The discount airline in a filing late Tuesday, said that it is in talks with its creditors to carve out a restructuring plan which could lead to the cancellation of its equity shares.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="244" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/13033834/Spirit-Airlines-1024x244.png" alt="" class="wp-image-644695" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/13033834/Spirit-Airlines-1024x244.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/13033834/Spirit-Airlines-300x71.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/13033834/Spirit-Airlines-768x183.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/13033834/Spirit-Airlines-1536x366.png 1536w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/13033834/Spirit-Airlines.png 1738w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
What Happened: The budget airline is in discussion with its noteholders for potential bankruptcy or out-of-court restructuring that has been underway for months. This comes after Spirit&#8217;s effort to merge with Frontier Group Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ULCC#NASDAQ">ULCC</a>) and its takeover by JetBlue Airways Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JBLU#NASDAQ">JBLU</a>) fell out.

Why It Matters: As the ultra-discount airline&#8217;s efforts to save itself fail, its equity holders may suffer because of the cancellation of shares. However, the company&#8217;s statement indicates that the plan that it is trying to negotiate would not hamper general unsecured creditors, employees, customers, vendors, suppliers, aircraft lessors, or the holders of its secured debt backed by aircraft.
The bondholders include the owners of about $1 billion, 8% coupon loyalty bonds which are due 2025 and $500 million in unsecured convertible bonds due 2026. This former debt is backed by claims on elements of the company's frequent-flyer program.

Price Action: The shares of Spirit Airlines have underperformed the NYSE Composite on a year-to-date basis as it has fallen by 80.31%, whereas the index gave a 17.88% return in the same period. The relative strength index at 40.79 shows that the stock is neither overbought nor oversold.
The consensus estimates of all the 12 analysts tracking the stock as per Nasdaq, is a &#8220;sell&#8221; with an average price target is $2.13 apiece.

Chipotle Mexican Grill, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CMG#NYSE">CMG</a>) announced Monday that Scott Boatwright, who served as interim CEO since August, will permanently lead the fast-casual restaurant chain with a compensation package valued <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/restaurants/24/11/41911851/chipotles-new-boss-can-ceo-scott-boatwright-spice-up-cmg">less than half of his predecessor&#8217;s pay</a>.
What Happened: Boatwright, 52, who served as interim CEO since August, will receive a total package valued at approximately $11 million – a significant increase from his previous $6.3 million compensation as chief operating officer but substantially lower than his predecessor&#8217;s earnings, according <a href="https://fortune.com/2024/11/12/chipotles-new-ceo-scott-boatwright-will-make-millions-leading-the-chain-but-only-half-as-much-as-ex-ceo-brian-niccol/">to</a> Fottune&#8217;s valuation. 
The package includes a $1 million base salary, a potential cash bonus of $1.2 million, an $8 million retention grant, and a $3.5 million restricted stock award, plus a $200,000 aircraft allowance.
In contrast, former CEO Brian Niccol&#8216;s 2023 compensation reached $22.5 million before his departure to Starbucks. Niccol&#8217;s new position came with a lucrative $113 million package, including a $10 million sign-on bonus and $75 million in equity grants.
&#8220;We conducted a thorough and rigorous external search process that confirmed Scott is absolutely the best person to lead the next stage of growth at Chipotle,&#8221; board chair Scott Maw said in a statement.

Why It Matters: When asked about the compensation details, a Chipotle spokesperson <a href="https://fortune.com/2024/11/12/chipotles-new-ceo-scott-boatwright-will-make-millions-leading-the-chain-but-only-half-as-much-as-ex-ceo-brian-niccol/">told</a> Fortune: &#8220;The bulk of Scott&#8217;s compensation will be received through his equity awards, and the actual value Scott will receive is entirely dependent on achievement of the performance goals for the awards and the stock price at the time of vesting.&#8221;
The appointment comes amid broader leadership changes at Chipotle, including the elevation of Jack Hartung to president of strategy, finance, and supply chain. The company issued retention grants totaling $34.5 million to key executives to ensure stability during the transition, according to Fortune.
Price Action: Chipotle&#8217;s stock has risen nearly 35% year to date, currently trading at $60.49. Under Niccol&#8217;s tenure, the company&#8217;s share price grew 800%, according to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benziga Pro data</a>.

Chipotle's New CEO Scott Boatwright Will Make Millions, But It Will Still Be Half Of Ex-CEO Brian Niccol's Pay

Following weeks of relentless promotion, the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/11/41927289/trump-appoints-elon-musk-and-vivek-ramaswamy-to-lead-doge-targeting-bureaucracy-and-65-trillion-feder">set to become a reality</a>, potentially sending the price of Dogecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/doge/usd">DOGE</a>) to unprecedented levels.
What happened: On Tuesday, President-elect Donald Trump appointed Elon Musk, the conceiver of the idea, and entrepreneur-turned-politician Vivek Ramaswamy to oversee the department, which aims to streamline federal bureaucracy and eliminate &#8220;excess&#8221; laws.
The duo immediately acknowledged the appointment and began divulging details about the incoming department.
Musk announced that all DOGE&#8217;s actions could be tracked online for "maximum" transparency.
"Anytime the public thinks we are cutting something important or not cutting something wasteful, just let us know," the tech mogul added.

Effect on DOGE: As counter-intuitive as it may sound, the meme cryptocurrency DOGE tumbled 8.30% in the last 24 hours, dipping below 40 cents.
Investors seem to be profiting from the gains made in the weeklong rally that pushed the coin to as high as 43 cents, which is a gain of nearly 94% in this period.
DOGE's Relative Strength Index (RSI) was in the overbought zone as of this writing, as <a href="https://in.tradingview.com/symbols/DOGEUSD/technicals/">tracked </a>by TradingView, indicating the possibility of a correction.
The number of short positions taken for the meme coin rose vis à vis longs, <a href="https://www.coinglass.com/LongShortRatio">according </a>to Coinglass, lending credence to the above observation.
Having said that, more DOGE was withdrawn from exchanges than deposited in the last 24 hours, <a href="https://app.intotheblock.com/">according </a>to IntoTheBlock, indicating that the HODLing sentiment was still strong.
Price Action: At the time of writing, DOGE was exchanging hands at $0.3831 down 8.30% in the last 24 hours, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?_gl=1&#x2A;380nj0&#x2A;_ga&#x2A;MTEyOTAyOTcxMy4xNzEzMzY0NTYy&#x2A;_ga_V7ZK73W7N0&#x2A;MTcxNDk4MzIzMi42LjEuMTcxNDk4OTE0Ni4wLjAuMA..">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.&nbsp;

Dogecoin Tumbles Despite Elon Musk, Vivek Ramaswamy's 'DOGE' Appointment: This Is What Indicators Tell About Its Next Moves

Alphabet Inc&#8216;s (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>) Waymo said on Tuesday that it has opened <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/autonomous-vehicles">autonomous rides</a> to everyone in Los Angeles.
What Happened: Waymo commenced commercial operations in Los Angeles earlier this year. However, rides then were limited to the nearly 300,000 riders who signed up to join the company&#8217;s waitlist. The company was adding new riders to the service incrementally.&nbsp;However, it has now scrapped the waitlist altogether.
&#8220;La La Land is now our third city open to all riders, with waitlists removed and more cities on the way,&#8221; the company&#8217;s Chief Product Officer Saswat Panigrahi said in a post on X.

Riders in Los Angeles can now download the Waymo One app and avail a ride around nearly 80 square miles of LA County.
&#8220;We intend to grow our service area to cover more of the city in the future,&#8221; Waymo said in a statement.

Waymo currently operates a fleet of all-electric vehicles that have been customized to enable autonomous driving in these cities. The company is delivering over 150,000 paid rides every week to the public, it said in October.
Late last month, Waymo&nbsp;closed an oversubscribed <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41567166/waymo-closes-5-6b-investment-round-to-expand-robotaxi-operations">investment round of $5.6 billion</a> led by its parent&nbsp;Alphabet&nbsp;to expand its robotaxi service.

Alphabet's Waymo Opens Robotaxi Rides For All In Los Angeles After San Francisco, Says 'More Cities On The Way'

Financial analyst Yiannis Zourmpanos has predicted that Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) could witness a significant stock rally, potentially reaching $204, following its third-quarter performance. 
What Happened: Jensen Huang&#8216;s company has forecasted third-quarter revenue of approximately $32.5 billion, driven by strong demand for its Hopper and Blackwell GPUs. These GPUs are expected to bolster Nvidia&#8217;s data center segment, which boasts a robust 68% operating margin. The Blackwell units, priced between $30,000 and $40,000, are in high demand, with production ramping up in the fourth quarter of 2024.
Nvidia&#8217;s upcoming earnings report on Nov. 20 is a crucial factor in maintaining its growth momentum.
Zourmpanos highlights that Nvidia&#8217;s growth is fueled by the increasing adoption of AI and data-intensive applications, reinforcing its leadership in the industry, Seeking Alpha <a href="https://seekingalpha.com/article/4736453-nvidia-q3-earnings-could-ignite-200-rally">reported</a> on Wednesday. However, Nvidia faces potential risks from supply chain disruptions, particularly due to its reliance on Super Micro Computer (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMCI#NASDAQ">SMCI</a>) for AI server components.

Despite these challenges, Nvidia&#8217;s technical indicators and historical data suggest a bullish trend, with a 77% chance of positive returns in November. The company&#8217;s strategic investments and revenue growth position it for potential long-term value appreciation.
Why It Matters: As Nvidia prepares to release its third-quarter results, analysts are closely watching the company&#8217;s performance. Morgan Stanley analyst Joseph Moore <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/11/41883803/nvidias-blackwell-chip-revenue-could-hit-6-billion-next-quarter-analyst">anticipates a strong quarter</a>, aligning with the Street consensus of 74 cents per share earnings on $32.937 billion in revenue. Despite being supply-constrained, Nvidia is expected to generate significant revenue from its Blackwell chips, potentially between $5 billion and $6 billion in the upcoming quarter.
Furthermore, analysts predict a potential <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/price-target/24/11/41916373/nvidia-to-rally-around-14-here-are-10-top-analyst-forecasts-for-tuesday">14% rally for Nvidia</a>, highlighting the company&#8217;s strong market position and growth prospects. This optimism is driven by Nvidia&#8217;s strategic focus on AI and data-intensive applications, which continue to drive demand for its advanced GPUs.

Apple Inc.'s 2024 Mac Mini features powerful M4 and M4 Pro chips in an even smaller, lighter design, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41607481/apples-refreshes-mac-mini-smaller-form-factor-m4-chip-power-and-carbon-neutral">starting at $599</a>.
However, while it's Apple's most affordable and capable Mac Mini yet, one quirky design choice is making waves: the power button is on the bottom of the device.
Why Put The Power Button On The Bottom?
Apple's John Ternus and Greg Joswiak explained that the ultra-compact design necessitated placing the power button on the bottom.
They argued that most users won't miss a conveniently placed power button since they can use macOS's shutdown menu.
However, this doesn't sit well with those who take their Mac Mini on the go and need easy access to the button.

Workarounds: From 3D Printed Levers To Simple Flips
Some creative users have already found clever fixes. One popular solution involves 3D-printed lever extensions, which allow users to press the power button without lifting the device. Here are a few simple fixes.
See-Saw Lever by Ivan Kuleshov: Shared on X, formerly Twitter, this lever functions like a see-saw—press down on one side to raise the other and engage the button.

C-Shaped Lever: Another X user who goes by the handle name @shapoco designed a C-shaped lever that slips over the Mini, enabling top access to the button.

No 3D Printer? Just Flip It Upside Down
If you're without a 3D printer, try flipping the Mac Mini upside down. This positions the power button on top for easy access— place it on a soft surface to avoid scratching.
Or Skip The Button Altogether
Another option: leave your Mac Mini in sleep mode. This way, you rarely need to reach for the power button, as it consumes minimal extra energy.

Apple's 2024 Mac Mini Is A Compact Powerhouse, But Its Power Button Placement Is Not The Most Accessible: Here Are Some Workable Fixes

President-elect Donald Trump, on Tuesday, greenlit the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/11/41927289/trump-appoints-elon-musk-and-vivek-ramaswamy-to-lead-doge-targeting-bureaucracy-and-65-trillion-federal-spending-we-will-not-go-gently">formation of the Department of Government Efficiency </a>or DOGE, the acronym which almost sounds like a parody of the cryptocurrency known as Dogecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/doge/usd">DOGE</a>). As the department promises to restructure federal agencies and reduce government spending, it is still unclear if the committee would come under the Federal Advisory Committee Act, which dictates how external groups that advise the government must operate and be accountable to the public.
Such external advisory committees have played an important role in shaping federal programs and policies in the past; former presidents Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton established similar task forces. However, it is still ambiguous how President-elect Trump, along with unconventional businessman Elon Musk and former presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, will structure and lead this committee.

The department is scheduled to complete its work by Jul. 4, 2026, coinciding with America's 250th independence anniversary.

Musk, who shared the announcement on X (formerly Twitter), stated the changes would "send shockwaves through the system." Ramaswamy, responding to the announcement on X, posted "We will not go gently," while sharing Trump's statement.

The department's primary objectives include restructuring federal agencies, reducing government regulations, cutting wasteful spending, creating accountability measures, and implementing structural reforms. The administration states that this effort will make the U.S. government more accountable to citizens while promoting economic growth through reduced bureaucracy.

Why It Matters: The Federal Advisory Committee Act mandates <a href="https://www.gsa.gov/policy-regulations/policy/federal-advisory-committee-management/advice-and-guidance/the-federal-advisory-committee-act-brochure">specific guidelines</a> for external groups offering advice to the government, ensuring transparency and public oversight.
Federal employees are typically obligated to disclose their roles, obligations, duties, allowable expenses, compensation limitations, and any ethics requirements with their committee's Designated Federal Officer and/or Committee Management Officer, as appropriate. However, as Musk and Ramaswamy would not hold official federal positions, they may not be bound by these disclosure and divestment requirements.
According to <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/10/20/us/politics/elon-musk-federal-agencies-contracts.html">The New York Times</a>, Musk&#8217;s businesses, including SpaceX and Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>), were scheduled to receive approximately $3 billion in federal contracts from 17 agencies in 2023. Furthermore, his companies have been the subject of at least 20 federal investigations or reviews. These factors have led to concerns about potential conflicts of interest arising from a Musk-led federal commission.
According to Wednush&#8217;s Dan Ives, &#8220;Since this is not an official Cabinet or US government position and it's essentially newly created, there will be NO changes to Musk&#8217;s CEO roles with Tesla and SpaceX importantly from the Street&#8217;s perspective.&#8221;

Congress&#8217; Role
As per FACA, the U.S. Congress seeks to ensure that advisory committees:
<ul>
<li>Provide advice that is relevant, objective, and open to the public.</li>
<li>Act promptly to complete their work.</li>
<li>Comply with reasonable cost controls and record-keeping requirements.</li>
</ul>

Appointing Committee Members
The U.S. General Services Administration rules state that federal advisory committee members are drawn from nearly every occupational and industry group and geographical section of the United States and its territories. The FACA requires that committee memberships be "fairly balanced in terms of the points of view represented and the functions to be performed."
Selection of committee members is made based on the FACA's requirements and the potential member's background and qualifications. However, the final selection is made by the president or heads of departments or agencies.

Why It Matters: In 2023, a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/10/35237271/apple-airtags-are-stalkers-weapon-of-choice-dozens-of-victims-allege-in-a-new-class-action-lawsuit">class-action lawsuit</a> was filed by dozens of victims alleging that AirTags were being used as a &#8220;weapon of choice&#8221; by stalkers. The lawsuit claimed that Apple was aware of the risks associated with its AirTags and could be held legally responsible for their misuse.
In January, the company was <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/01/36527121/apples-next-gen-airtag-launch-said-to-be-delayed-because-theres-simply-a-lot-of-unsold-original-ones">reportedly forced to delay</a> the release of its second-generation AirTag to 2025 due to an overstock of the first-generation product. The company&#8217;s existing AirTags were still performing effectively, and Apple faced minimal competition in the &#8220;Find My&#8221; network.
Apple has been working on solutions to address the misuse of AirTags. In 2023, the company <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/05/32184898/airtag-stalking-solutions-apple-and-google-submit-proposal-to-keep-users-safe">submitted a proposal</a> in partnership with Alphabet Inc.&#8217;s Google to combat unwanted tracking via Bluetooth location-tracking devices like AirTag.
