Financial Outlook
We are increasing our full year bookings outlook to $1,822 - $1,832 million, or 14-15% y/y growth, compared to previous guidance of $1,802 - $1,822 million, or 13-14% y/y growth. This high end of this updated outlook reflects the expectation that 2H bookings will accelerate to 17% y/y, compared to previous guidance of 16%, and y/y bookings growth to exit the year at 18%.
We are also updating our full year revenue outlook to $1,757 - $1,764 million, or 13% y/y, compared to $1,747 - $1,761 million previously.
We expect total revenue in Q4'24 of $457 - $464 million, or 13-15% y/y growth.
For the full year 2024, we now expect non-GAAP total gross margin of approximately 69%, slightly up from the 68-69% previously anticipated with non-GAAP Business Solutions gross margin still to exceed 30%. We also now expect non-GAAP operating expenses to be approximately 49% of revenue for the full year, down from approximately 50% previously.
As a result of our increased bookings expectation for the full year coupled with stable operating costs anticipated, we now expect to generate free cash flow, excluding headquarters costs, of $483 - $488 million, or 27-28% of revenue, in 2024, up from $460 - $470 million, or 26-27% of revenue.
The high end of our increased growth and profitability expectations would allow us to exceed the Rule of 40 this year, a full year ahead of our original plan presented to shareholders. Even with the earlier-than-expected achievement of this target, there is still room for further growth acceleration and ample margin expansion in our financial algorithm for 2025 and beyond.

Sen. Cynthia Lummis (R-Wyo.) expressed optimism that certain aspects of the proposed strategic Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) reserve could begin to take shape following President-elect Donald Trump's inauguration ceremony.
What happened: During an interaction on X spaces hosted by asset manager VanEck on Tuesday, the Republican said she was hopeful of things moving in 2025 but stopped short of giving a specific timeline.
Lummis said that certain actions on the proposed bill could be taken even before it gets congressional approval.
"If we win with the schedule that is proposed in the BITCOIN Act, we could just start by using our existing asset forfeiture Bitcoin to fund the first year of it," she stated. "And then start converting our gold certificates to Bitcoin."

STMicroelectronics Capital Markets Day: Outlines 2027-2028 Financial Model With $18B Revenue Target, 22-24% Margins, And $20B+ Ambition By 2030

ARK Invest CEO Cathie Wood popularly known for leading ARK Innovation ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKK#NYSE">ARKK</a>) has raised alarm bells about the state of auto loans in America, noting that 90-day delinquency rates have now exceeded levels seen during the 2009 financial crisis.
What Happened: Wood&#8217;s comments came in response to recent data showing rising auto loan defaults, despite continued investor confidence in auto-backed securities. The Federal Reserve&#8217;s latest Supervision and Regulation Report confirms this trend, highlighting that auto loan delinquencies are approaching five-year highs in 2024.
Delinquency rates on auto loans refer to the percentage of auto loan borrowers who have failed to make their scheduled payments on time. A loan is typically considered delinquent when a payment is missed for a certain period, usually 30, 60, or 90 days.
Rising auto loan delinquency coincides with significant price cuts across the auto industry. Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) reduced U.S. prices for its Model Y, Model X, and Model S by $2,000 in April following lower-than-expected first-quarter deliveries. 
Ford Motor Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>) cut the Mustang Mach-E's price by up to $8,100, and Nissan slashed up to $6,000 off its Ariya SUV. Stellantis NV (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STLA#NYSE">STLA</a>) also introduced discounts on Jeep Wranglers and Grand Cherokees.

Despite these warning signs, investors are aggressively pursuing auto loan-backed bonds, with sales of securities tied to subprime auto loans reaching nearly $40 billion through October 2024 &#8211; a 17% increase from 2023&#8217;s total. Nicholas Tripodes, senior portfolio manager at Federated Hermes, reports seeing deals &#8220;almost 20 times oversubscribed,&#8221; according <a href="https://www.wsj.com/finance/investing/wall-street-is-bullish-on-car-loans-despite-rising-delinquencies-5f0f1ec4">to</a> The Wall Street Journal.

Why It Matters: The disconnect between rising delinquencies and investor enthusiasm reflects a broader market dynamic. Auto bonds from Global Lending Services with the lowest investment-grade rating yielded approximately 6% in October, triple the yield of comparable subprime auto loan-backed debt in 2021.
The stress is particularly evident among lower-income borrowers struggling with increased living costs and higher interest rates. The overall auto loan delinquency rate hit 3.8% in June, the highest since 2010, according to Federal Reserve data.
&#8220;The delinquency rate for consumer loans remained elevated in the first half of 2024,&#8221; the Federal Reserve noted, adding that while there was some improvement in credit card delinquencies during the second quarter, auto loan defaults continued to rise year-over-year.

Goatseus Maximus (GOAT), an artificial intelligence (AI)-created meme coin, rallied sharply Tuesday ahead of the third-quarter earnings of Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>).
What happened: The Solana (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/sol/usd">SOL</a>)-based cryptocurrency pumped over 12% in the last 24 hours to a market capitalization of $1.21 billion.
The latest uptick pushed the coin to the top of the daily gainers list, outstripping the returns of blue-chip cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) and Dogecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/doge/usd">DOGE</a>).
GOAT was up more than 42% over the week, and a whopping 1013% since its launch more than a month ago.

Why It Matters: GOAT has caught the cryptocurrency market's attention, cracking the $1 billion market capitalization club in a quick time. In the process, it also became the first coin launched by Pump.fun, Solana's token launchpad, to hit the $1 billion milestone.
Launched by AI chatbot Truth Terminal, which has a dedicated X account, the meme coin stands as more of an experiment. Truth Terminal was created by researcher Andy Ayrey, and he controls the cryptocurrency wallet tied to GOAT.
Notable figures in the industry, like Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong, have taken notice of the project's rise and even proposed setting up independent wallets to give Truth Terminal more autonomy.

Microsoft Corporation&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) CEO Satya Nadella highlighted Bing's strong growth countering concerns about its minimal impact on Alphabet Inc.&#8217;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>) Google's global <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/09/34990297/microsoft-considered-selling-bing-to-apple-as-google-rival-but-iphone-maker-remained-skeptical">search dominance</a>.
What Happened: On Tuesday, during a conversation with a CNBC Overtime anchor Jon Fortt, Nadella was asked when AI was integrated into Bing, the hope was to gain more share from Google.
However, one year down the line, Google still has roughly 90% of the global search share. In response, the Microsoft CEO said that Bing search is one of the fastest-growing businesses, showing strong double-digit growth.
When asked about search share, Nadella responded that it&#8217;s a game of 100 basis points, and any progress is good.

He then expressed excitement about the success of OpenAI&#8217;s ChatGPT and its partnership with&nbsp;Apple Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>), which he said is beneficial for Microsoft as it runs on Azure.
&#8220;That's all incremental for even us,&#8221; Nadella stated, adding, &#8220;We are giving them the Bing index and powering ChatGPT search using our APIs.&#8221;
Regarding the relationship with OpenAI, Nadella expressed satisfaction with the partnership&#8217;s progress.
&#8220;We are thrilled to be an investor. We're thrilled to be a partner around I.P. They're one of our biggest customers now. We also compete in some areas. And so the partnership has all of those dimensions to it,&#8221; he said.

Why It Matters: Microsoft launched Bing in 2009 to compete directly with Google. However, despite its efforts, Google <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/04/31823704/is-bing-the-new-google-samsung-devices-could-ditch-google-search-for-microsoft-bing">remains the dominant player</a>, with Bing capturing less than 10% of search queries.
Meanwhile, the partnership between Microsoft and OpenAI has been a topic of interest in the tech world, especially since reports started surfacing about OpenAI&#8217;s shift from a nonprofit to a for-profit model.
Microsoft has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/10/41556636/microsoft-and-openai-clash-over-14-billion-as-the-ai-leader-converts-to-a-for-profit-business-disrup">invested nearly $14 billion</a> in OpenAI since 2019, leading to a high-stakes financial and governance tug-of-war. OpenAI&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41149788/openai-valuation-soars-to-157b-in-latest-funding-round">valuation soared to $157 billion</a> in its latest funding round.
Earlier in May it was reported that OpenAI&#8217;s potential agreement with Apple had <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/05/39109729/openais-apple-deal-sparks-concerns-in-microsoft-could-shift-ai-market-dynamics">sparked concerns within Microsoft</a>.
Last month, Microsoft&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/10/41636770/microsoft-q1-earnings-highlights-ai-driven-transformation-is-changing-work-company-beats-revenue-ep">first-quarter earnings</a> reported a 16% year-over-year increase in revenue.
Price Action: Microsoft shares rose 0.49% on Tuesday, closing at $417.79, with a slight additional gain of 0.05% in after-hours trading, reaching $418 at the time of writing, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

Nvidia, Microstrategy, Apollo Global Management, Joby Aviation, And Tesla: Why These 5 Stocks Are On Investors' Radars Today

Gene Munster, Managing Partner at Deepwater Asset Management, projects that Alphabet Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) will spin out its autonomous driving unit Waymo within the next 2-4 years, potentially reaching a valuation between $350 billion and $850 billion by 2030.
What Happened: In a detailed research note, Munster and analyst Brian Baker suggest the spinoff could add 12-28% to Alphabet&#8217;s current market capitalization, depending on the parent company&#8217;s ownership stake, which they estimate is currently around 70%.
&#8220;Today, Waymo alone is too small for Alphabet investors to care about,&#8221; Munster wrote. &#8220;However, the management team is sharing more about their rapid progress, plans to expand operations, and has raised additional outside capital.&#8221;
The analysis comes as Waymo continues to expand its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41541316/waymo-fleet-hits-25m-driverless-miles-autonomous-driving-company-says-its-fleet-is-safer-than-human">autonomous ride-hailing service</a>, now operating in Phoenix, San Francisco, and Los Angeles, with Austin launching later this year. The company currently provides over 150,000 rides weekly across its 700-vehicle fleet.
Munster&#8217;s valuation model hinges on Waymo&#8217;s potential market share in the U.S. ride-sharing industry by 2030. In the most optimistic scenario, capturing 70% market share could generate $28 billion in earnings and an $850 billion valuation. A more conservative 30% market share scenario suggests an $11 billion earnings potential and $337 billion valuation.

Why It Matters: The report highlights that despite high upfront vehicle costs of approximately $200,000 per unit, removing human drivers could save about $82,000 annually per vehicle. Munster expects vehicle costs to decrease to around $100,000 to make the long-term economics viable.
Waymo recently <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41567166/waymo-closes-5-6b-investment-round-to-expand-robotaxi-operations">raised $5.6 billion</a> in a Series D funding round led by Alphabet, with participation from major investors including Andreessen Horowitz and Fidelity, valuing the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41665245/alphabets-self-driving-subsidiary-waymo-hits-45-billion-valuation-surpassing-ford-other-major-brands">company at approximately $45 billion</a>. The funding suggests growing institutional confidence in Waymo&#8217;s autonomous driving technology and business model.
Munster predicts the autonomous ride-sharing market will primarily be contested between Waymo and Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>), with the first company to achieve widespread autonomy likely to capture the majority share.

Waymo Maybe Too Small For Alphabet Investors To Care About Today, But The Self-Driving Spinoff's Could Be Valued At $850B By 20230, Says Gene Munster

In a big development, MicroStrategy (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>) Chairman Michael Saylor will present a case for Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) investment to the board of directors at Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>).
What Happened: During an X space hosted by asset manager VanEck, Saylor said he was contacted by the activist who put up the shareholder proposal to present to the board. 
&#8220;I agreed to provide a three-minute presentation. That's all you're allowed. I'm going to actually post that online and I'm going to present it to the board.&#8221;
Saylor said he even proposed meeting with CEO Satya Nadella to discuss the strategy, but the offer was not accepted.

&#8220;I think it&#8217;s not a bad idea to put it on the agenda of every company. It ought to be put on the agenda of Berkshire Hathaway, Apple, and Google because they all have huge hordes of cash and they&#8217;re all burning shareholder value,&#8221; Saylor argued. 
The MicroStrategy chief said that Microsoft stock would be &#8220;much less risky&#8221; if half of its enterprise value—which was currently just around 1.5%— is based on tangible assets like Bitcoin.
Meanwhile, Saylor also offered to discuss the implications of adding Bitcoin to the Treasury with Rumble Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RUM#NASDAQ">RUM</a>) CEO Chris Pavloski.

Why It Matters: Microsoft was set to vote on an assessment of investing in Bitcoin during next month&#8217;s shareholders meeting. The shareholders&nbsp;requested&nbsp;the board conduct the assessment, citing Bitcoin&#8217;s healthy gains over the last five years.
The proposal explicitly mentioned MicroStrategy, a pioneer in corporate Bitcoin adoption whose shares have outperformed Microsoft in 2024.
Price Action: At the time of writing, Bitcoin was trading at $92,054.06, up 0.86% 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>. Shares of MicroStrategy surged nearly 12% during Tuesday&#8217;s regular session, while Microsoft closed 0.49% higher.
