"... Airstrikes Have Unleashed A Fire Belt Around Beirut's Southern Suburbs, Targeting Areas Including Burj Al-barajneh, Haret Hreik, And Hadath." - Lebanon's National News Agency

The U.S. cannabis industry continues its impressive growth, generating over $32 billion in annual retail sales as of 2024, according to data from LeafLink. This marks a 10.8% year-over-year increase, with $2.8 billion in sales recorded in October 2024 alone. From its humble beginnings, cannabis now operates in 41 states, with over 80% of Americans having access to it. 
Despite challenges like price declines, margin pressures and operational inefficiencies, the industry is on track to reach $55 billion by 2030, driven by regional growth and federal policy changes.

You can't afford to miss out if you&#8217;re serious about the business.</li>
</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Key Growth Drivers </h2>
Near-term growth will be fueled by rapid licensing and retail expansion in emerging markets such as New York, New Jersey and Ohio. Over the next 2-3 years, 5,000 non-MSO retailers are projected to open in key states, increasing store counts by 70%.
Federal policy reform, notably the potential reclassification of cannabis to Schedule III in 2025, could relieve the current 280E tax burden and inject $2-3 billion annually into the industry, boosting profitability.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">State-Specific Insights: Strong Performers and Untapped Potential</h2>
The cannabis market shows significant variance across states.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Top Performers</h3>
<ul>
<li>Alaska leads in sales per resident, driven by tourism, followed by Michigan and Nevada, with the latter benefiting from <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42148169/formula-1-drivers-react-to-cannabis-smell-at-las-vegas-grand-prix-everyone-would-test-positive">Las Vegas tourism</a>, achieving the highest sales per dispensary.</li>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Strategic Opportunities</h2>
Wholesale cannabis sales are projected to reach $11.7 billion in 2024, an 11% increase from 2023. However, monthly fluctuations require strategic planning for both sellers and buyers. In October 2024, wholesale sales dipped 2% from the previous month but rose 9.6% year-over-year.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Seller Impact</h3>
<ul>
<li>Sellers in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/massachusetts-cannabis">Massachusetts</a>, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/michigan-cannabis">Michigan</a>, and Illinois see robust demand, while those in Maryland and Michigan face pricing pressure, with Maryland&#8217;s prices falling 23.2% and Michigan&#8217;s dropping 14.1%.</li>
</ul>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Buyer Impact</h3>
<ul>
<li>Buyers can capitalize on price dips, particularly as some states, such as<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/arkansas-cannabis"> Arkansas</a> and Washington, saw price increases of 20.7% and 17.9%, respectively, while<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/maryland-cannabis"> Maryland</a> and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/arizona-cannabis">Arizona</a> saw declines.</li>
</ul>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Pricing&nbsp;</h3>
<ul>
<li>In October 2024, the average flower price was $1,065 per pound, down $100 from the summer peak of $1,152. The price drop reflects typical seasonal oversupply from outdoor harvests in states like Michigan and Arizona. At the same time, reduced cultivation in mature markets like <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/california-cannabis">California</a>, Oregon, and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/colorado-cannabis">Colorado</a> should help stabilize prices.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Maryland experienced a 23.2% price drop, while Arkansas saw a 20.7% price increase year-over-year. States like California and Arizona, facing oversupply issues, may see stabilization as cultivation is reduced.</li>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Emerging Hotspots</h2>
Markets like<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/missouri-cannabis"> Missouri</a> and Maryland are showing strong growth. Missouri generated $6.5 million in sales per dispensary in 2024, while Maryland reached $11.6 million per retail license. Arkansas, with its limited number of permits, is generating $7.6 million per license, signaling robust demand in a limited-license environment.
By contrast, Oklahoma has the lowest sales per license, at just $0.4 million, due to oversaturation with over 1,800 licenses, presenting opportunities for consolidation or increased operational efficiency.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Long-Term Outlook: A $55 Billion Industry by 2030</h3>
The U.S. cannabis industry is projected to reach $55 billion by 2030, driven by retail expansion in states like New York, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/new-jersey-cannabis">New Jersey</a>, and Ohio, as well as continued growth in mature markets like Illinois and Florida.&nbsp;

Federal Policy Could Add $3 Billion To Cannabis Industry: On Track To Reach $55 Billion By 2030

Before Mark Cuban became a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/11/41869153/mark-cuban-reveals-regrettable-shark-tank-deal-that-drives-him-crazy-was-a-chocolate-covered-pretzel-company-who-offered-free-shipping">billionaire and household name</a>, he was just another broke 20-something sharing a $600-a-month apartment with five guys. And not in the cute sitcom way – this was more "brown shag carpet and sleeping bags" than "Friends."
Don't Miss:
<ul>
<li>The global games market is projected to generate $272B by the end of the year —<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/gameflip"> for $0.55/share, this VC-backed startup with a 7M+ userbase gives investors easy access to this asset market.</a></li>
<li>Inspired by Uber and Airbnb &#8211; Deloitte's fastest-growing software company is transforming 7 billion smartphones into income-generating assets &#8211; <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/mode-mobile-2">with $1,000 you can invest at just $0.26/share!</a></li>
</ul>
In 2018, The Dallas Morning News republished a 2011 article detailing his arrival in the city decades prior. According to the news outlet, it was a reminder that Cuban was just like most people in their 20s … broke and searching for their path in life.&nbsp;
According to the article, in 1982, Cuban arrived in Dallas with almost nothing but a rusting <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/08/40442345/mark-cuban-says-he-drove-cars-that-cost-200-with-holes-in-the-floorboard-and-lived-off-mac-and-c">Fiat X1/9 leaking oil and hope</a>. His car had a hole in the floorboard and he had about as much money as you'd find under a couch cushion. But hey, he had spirit – and a sleeping bag, which turned out to be essential.
His first stop was a $600-a-month apartment at The Hill, a subdivision of Dallas' sprawling Village Apartments. To this day, the Village is known as a hub for young adults, but back then, it was a mecca for broke 20-somethings living on cheap beer, instant noodles and ambition.
Trending: This Jeff Bezos-backed startup will allow you to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/bezos-landlord-100-dollars">become a landlord in just 10 minutes, with minimum investments as low as $100 for properties like the Byer House from Stranger Things.</a>
The apartment Cuban moved into – affectionately dubbed "The Hotel" – was home to five other guys. They were all scraping by, working odd jobs and cramming into the space to split the rent six ways.&nbsp;
Cuban and roommate Mark Wisely had no bedrooms to call their own. They slept in sleeping bags on the living room floor, surrounded by the scent of Miller Lite, Budweiser and whatever else spilled during last night's party. "If you didn't have a buzz when you went to bed, you had one when you woke up," Wisely quipped.
While the apartment was technically "nice" at move-in, it didn't stay that way for long. "By the time we got done with it, it wasn't," recalled Greg Schipper, one of the six roommates. Forget closet space. Cuban stacked his clothes in a corner, where they remained perpetually wrinkled. Clean? Maybe. Dirty? Definitely.
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"> you can become an investor for $0.80 per share today.</a>
If the living conditions were questionable, the towel situation was even worse. Cuban had exactly two towels, both frayed to the point of comedy. His glasses were held together by athletic tape. "Tape worked. Besides, nobody saw me wear them outside the hotel," Cuban said. His roommate even said they once ended up in the toilet, which they discovered after a party.&nbsp;
Cuban wasn't exactly living the highlife. His first job in Dallas was bartending at a place called Elan. It didn't pay much but came with happy hour snacks – key for stretching his meager budget. He supplemented his income by selling software at a store called Your Business Software. Not that he knew much about computers when he started, but learning on the fly would become one of his trademarks.
Of course, not everything went smoothly. Cuban was fired from that job after closing a software deal instead of opening the store as his boss had demanded. That Thursday, he was fired, but Friday, he was riding to Galveston in a friend's car, writing the early plans for his first company, MicroSolutions.

Even back then, Cuban's entrepreneurial streak was hard to miss. In college, he made money by teaching disco lessons and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/10/41359639/it-was-amazing-says-mark-cuban-of-his-80s-ponzi-scheme-that-got-him-through-college-made-sure-his-fr">running chain letters</a>. In Dallas, he and his roommates threw massive parties, at one point packing 2,000 people into a warehouse. Cuban's cut was $5,000 – small change compared to what he'd go on to earn, but a big deal at the time.
By 1990, MicroSolutions sold for $6 million. A few years later, Cuban struck gold again with Broadcast.com, which Yahoo acquired for $5.9 billion in 1999. But in 1982, he was just a scrappy 20-something trying to make rent and avoid sleeping on the literal floor.
As Cuban put it in the article, "I had nothing. So I had nothing to lose." That mindset turned out to be the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/can-you-guess-how-many-americans-successfully-retire-with-1-million-saved">foundation for everything</a> that followed – though thankfully, he's long since upgraded his towels.

Mark Cuban Shared $600 A Month Dallas Apartment With 5 Guys And Slept On The Living Room Floor – 'I Had Nothing. So I Had Nothing To Lose'

In the current market session, American Express Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AXP#NYSE">AXP</a>) stock price is at $303.27, after a 0.64% decrease. However, over the past month, the company's stock went up by 12.03%, and in the past year, by 80.94%. Shareholders might be interested in knowing whether the stock is overvalued, even if the company is not performing up to par in the current session. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1732635909_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>Evaluating American Express P/E in Comparison to Its Peers</h3>
The P/E ratio is used by long-term shareholders to assess the company's market performance against aggregate market data, historical earnings, and the industry at large. A lower P/E could indicate that shareholders do not expect the stock to perform better in the future or it could mean that the company is undervalued. 
American Express has a lower P/E than the aggregate P/E of 36.34 of the Consumer Finance industry. Ideally, one might believe that the stock might perform worse than its peers, but it's also probable that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1732635909_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In summary, while the price-to-earnings ratio is a valuable tool for investors to evaluate a company's market performance, it should be used with caution. A low P/E ratio can be an indication of undervaluation, but it can also suggest weak growth prospects or financial instability. Moreover, the P/E ratio is just one of many metrics that investors should consider when making investment decisions, and it should be evaluated alongside other financial ratios, industry trends, and qualitative factors. By taking a comprehensive approach to analyzing a company's financial health, investors can make well-informed decisions that are more likely to lead to successful outcomes.

<ol>
<li>While the tech industry focuses on Nvidia's AI server and RTX 50 series supply chain, my latest research reveals Vishay as the hidden key winner.</li>
<li>Vishay has secured better-than-expected orders for Nvidia's Blackwell AI servers (GB200 series and DGX/HGX B200) and RTX 50 series graphics cards. The component orders include MOSFET/DrMOS (VRPower), vPolyTan (Polymer Tantalum, such as T55), Current Shunt Resistors, Transient Voltage Suppressors (TVS), and Schottky Barrier Diodes (SBD), etc.</li>
<li>Among the components above, MOSFET and vPolyTan deserve special attention.</li>
<li>For GB200 NVL72/36's 8kW 54V-to-12V power supply, Nvidia has switched to a Renesas (controller) and Vishay (MOSFET) combination, replacing power management modules from Flextronics and Delta. Notably, Vishay has replaced Infineon as the current MOSFET supplier.</li>
<li>For DGX/HGX's 2kW 54V-to-12V power supply, Nvidia now uses ADI (controller) and Vishay (MOSFET), replacing MPS and Delta's power management modules.</li>
<li>The GB200 NVLink Switch's 2kW 54V-to-12V power supply also uses the Renesas (controller) and Vishay (MOSFET) combination.</li>
<li>For Nvidia's upcoming RTX 50 series graphics cards planned for 2025, Vishay has been selected as a new DrMOS supplier, with mass production starting in 1Q25.</li>
<li>Based on the above 4, 5, 6, and 7, Vishay's current MOSFET production capacity in 2025 is fully loaded, and it is expected to contribute approximately 20–30% of revenue, with a higher-than-average gross profit margin.</li>
<li>GB200 heavily utilizes Vishay's vPolyTan (polymer tantalum capacitors, primarily T55). Vishay's vPolyTan is already facing supply shortages for 2025 and is expected to contribute a high single-digit percentage of revenue with significantly above-average gross margins.</li>
<li>Vishay 3.0 stands to capitalize on robust demand for Nvidia's AI servers and the new RTX 50 series, with meaningful results anticipated in 2025. The company is also well-positioned to benefit from the automotive sector's rebound and the burgeoning IoT market. Looking ahead, Vishay's growth trajectory appears strong, driven by the ongoing success of its Vishay 3.0 strategy implementation.</li>

Catalyst Bancorp Approves Fifth Share Repurchase Program To Purchase Up To 215,000 Shares

French telecom company Orange announced its partnership with OpenAI, backed by Microsoft Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) and Meta Platforms Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>), <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/facebook">Facebook&#8217;s parent company</a>. 
This collaboration aims to create custom artificial intelligence (AI) models tailored to understand African regional languages better, starting with West Africa. These AI systems will be built upon open-source models, Whisper and Llama, to address the challenges of less represented languages in mainstream AI solutions.
Also Read: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42190381/analog-devices-q4-earnings-beats-estimates-automotive-rebound-outlook" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Analog Devices Q4 Earnings: Beats Estimates, Automotive Rebound, Cautiously Optimistic Outlook &amp; More</a>
The project highlights the difficulties major AI firms face when their systems rely predominantly on U.S.-based data, which limits their ability to interpret languages and contexts from regions like Africa, the Middle East, and Europe. Orange plans to fine-tune these models by integrating language-specific data, improving their capacity to recognize and process regional dialects, CNBC <a target="_blank" href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/11/26/orange-partners-with-openai-meta-on-custom-african-language-ai-models.html" rel="noreferrer noopener">reports</a>.
Orange&#8217;s initiative will begin by including two West African languages, Wolof and Pulaar, spoken by approximately 16 million and 6 million people, respectively. These languages are commonly used in Senegal, The Gambia, and Mauritania. The AI models will initially roll out in early 2025, with plans to cover all 18 West African nations in future expansions. Orange will also make these models available for non-commercial uses, including public health and education.
The initiative aligns with the growing global emphasis on &#8220;sovereign AI,&#8221; which focuses on creating regionally controlled AI systems to safeguard local languages, cultures, and data. Orange is also working on hosting OpenAI models in European data centers to ensure localized data processing and early access to advanced AI models. These efforts will help Orange develop innovative applications like AI-powered voice systems for customer service.

Advanced Micro Devices Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>) has certainly had its share of ups and downs lately, and right now, it&#8217;s riding a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/amd">significant bearish wave.</a>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">AMD Stock: Bearish Momentum Takes Hold</h2>
At $142.68, AMD&#8217;s stock price is well below its five-day, 20-day and 50-day exponential moving averages (EMAs), signaling a continuation of the downward trend. With the 20-day simple moving average (SMA) doing a tango with the stock at $141.97 and the 50-day SMA farther above at $153.29, it&#8217;s clear that the stock&#8217;s momentum is still on the decline. 
Also, AMD stock is trading well under its 200-day SMA of $160.23, signaling long-term bearish pressure.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Glimmer Of Hope For AMD Stock Investors</h2>
But don&#8217;t put AMD on your &#8220;avoid&#8221; list just yet. There's a flicker of hope on the short-term horizon. The eight-day SMA at $138.81 offers a tiny bullish glimmer, suggesting a possible rebound. 
However, the relative strength index (RSI) of 46.42 is firmly in neutral territory—neither oversold nor overbought—leaving plenty of room for either a stabilizing move or continued decline.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Technical Indicators Still Weighing Down AMD Stock</h2>
Despite these flickering signals of hope, the broader technical indicators aren't kind to AMD. The moving average convergence/divergence (MACD) at a negative 3.81 reinforces the prevailing bearish momentum. Unless a substantial catalyst turns things around, the stock will need more than a light breeze to lift it out of its slump.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">AMD&#8217;s Market Share Gains: Temporary Or Sustainable?</h2>
AMD&#8217;s latest third-quarter market share <a href="https://www.gurufocus.com/news/2615820/amd-gains-market-share-in-q3-despite-challenges-in-server-cpu-sector?r=4bf001661e6fdd88d0cd7a5659ff9748&amp;mod=news_archive">gains</a>—particularly in the notebook and desktop markets—are promising, but are they sustainable? The company saw its desktop market share increase by 6% to 28.7%, and its revenue share rise by 8%.
However, concerns persist over whether the surge is due to a temporary product clearing by Intel Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>), rather than a lasting shift in the competitive landscape.
As AMD continues to push ahead with its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42166116/amd-boosts-india-investments-400-million-pledged-supercomputers-in-the-works">$400 million R&amp;D investment in India</a> and explores new avenues in AI, investors might want to keep an eye on the technicals. 
If the bearish trend continues, AMD may need more than just market share gains to reverse its current trajectory.
