U.S. Justice Department Seeks To Unwind Google's Anthropic Deal

Conduit Pharmaceuticals Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CDT#NASDAQ">CDT</a>) shares are trading higher Thursday after the company announced that the Japan Patent Office granted a composition of matter patent for its lead asset, AZD1656. Here&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/CDT/news">what you need to know.</a>
What To Know: AZD1656 is a glucokinase activator designed to target a range of autoimmune disorders. The patent approval in Japan comes after a similar patent was granted in Australia, marking continued progress in securing intellectual property protections for the company&#8217;s assets.
&#8220;This approval represents another significant milestone in our efforts to maximize the value of our intellectual property portfolio,&#8221; said David Tapolczay, CEO of Conduit Pharmaceuticals.

 AZD1656 is part of Conduit&#8217;s strategy to address unmet medical needs, particularly in diseases like Lupus and ANCA Vasculitis. Conduit Pharmaceuticals is also working on other assets, including AZD5658 and AZD5904, to expand its portfolio in the autoimmune space.
&#8220;The granting of this patent in Japan, one of the world&#8217;s largest pharmaceutical markets, underscores the strength of our scientific and intellectual property strategy. We look forward to securing additional approvals in other major markets, further enhancing our global patent coverage and bolstering our out-licensing opportunities,&#8221; Tapolczay added.
CDT Price Action: Conduit Pharmaceuticals shares were up 20.4% at 11 cents at the time of writing, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro.</a>

Oklo Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OKLO#NYSE">OKLO</a>) shares are trading higher on Thursday. The company&#8217;s shares may be moving higher in response to its acquisition target Atomic Alchemy which signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Zeno Power. Here&#8217;s what you <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/24/11/42092578/oklo-stock-slides-as-short-seller-sets-sights-on-altman-backed-nuclear-startup">need to know</a>.
What To Know: The goal of the MOU is for Atomic Alchemy to provide Zeno Power with radioisotopes like strontium-90 and americium-241 to power Zeno&#8217;s Radioisotope Power Systems (RPSs).
These systems generate energy from the heat emitted by radioisotopes, powering critical applications such as space exploration and national defense.
&#8220;We are thrilled to be working with Atomic Alchemy and Oklo to advance our fuel supply chain efforts and recover radioisotopes that otherwise would be waste,&#8221; said Harsh S. Desai, Chief Commercialization Officer at Zeno Power. 
&#8220;This partnership aims to expand access to critical isotopes, accelerating our work to meet the growing demand for reliable, persistent energy solutions from the ocean floor to the lunar surface.&#8221;
Previously, Oklo has proposed to acquire Atomic through an all-stock transaction.

Virgin Galactic Hldgs's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPCE#NYSE">SPCE</a>) short percent of float has fallen 3.11% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 6.90 million shares sold short, which is 23.96% of all regular shares that are available for trading.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Virgin Galactic Hldgs has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Virgin Galactic Hldgs's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Virgin Galactic Hldgs's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 6.16%, which means the company has more short interest than most of its peers.

Zscaler shares are trading higher after Barclays maintained an Overweight rating on the stock and raised its price target from $200 to $220.

Wix.com shares are trading higher after multiple firms maintained Buy ratings on the stock and raised their respective price targets.

Goldman Sachs analyst Michael Ng maintained a Buy rating on Comcast Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CMCSA#NASDAQ">CMCSA</a>) with a price target of $50.
On November 20, 2024, Comcast announced <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/11/42081224/comcast-plans-major-cable-networks-spinoff-msnbc-and-cnbc-to-form-new-public-company-report" rel="noreferrer noopener">plans to spin off</a> select cable networks and digital assets into a new publicly traded entity called SpinCo.
The proposed spin-off aims to streamline Comcast&#8217;s operations and enhance growth by separating its cable networks and complementary digital assets from its broader media and streaming divisions.
Also Read: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42116366/taiwan-semiconductor-plans-new-factories-annually-boosting-domestic-chip-production" rel="noreferrer noopener">Taiwan Semiconductor Plans New Factories To Boost Domestic Chip Production</a>
SpinCo assets generated approximately $7 billion in trailing twelve-month (TTM) revenue ending September 30, 2024, with an estimated EBITDA between $2 billion and $3 billion, the analyst said.
About 75% of SpinCo&#8217;s portfolio will focus on news and sports, while the remaining 25% covers general entertainment.
Comcast expects SpinCo to maintain a traditional cable network EBITDA margin of around 30%, driven by reduced Peacock-related losses and sports licensing costs.
Post-spin, Comcast&#8217;s remaining media assets (RemainCo) will include NBC broadcast, Peacock, regional sports networks, and Sky, generating an estimated $40 billion in annual revenue.
Peacock will likely remain largely unaffected by the spin, as only 2% of its content originates from SpinCo, while 98% will continue to come from RemainCo.
The spin-off positions SpinCo to pursue growth through organic initiatives and mergers or acquisitions, with a dedicated management team and tailored operational focus.
Mark Lazarus, the current chairman of NBCUniversal Media Group, will serve as SpinCo&#8217;s CEO, and Anand Kini, NBCUniversal&#8217;s CFO, will become SpinCo&#8217;s CFO and COO. Comcast expects the transaction to close within a year, pending regulatory approvals.
Ng highlighted the spin-off as a strategic move to refine Comcast&#8217;s focus on core growth drivers, including residential broadband, wireless services, and streaming.
SpinCo&#8217;s creation will likely improve CNBC and MSNBC monetization through digital subscription models and potential affiliate fee adjustments.
Ng views the separation as accretive to revenue growth while maintaining Comcast&#8217;s leverage neutrality.
Risks to the strategy include intensified cord-cutting, rising programming costs, and competitive pressures from streaming platforms.
Despite these challenges, Ng expects the spin-off to unlock shareholder value and position both SpinCo and RemainCo for sustainable growth.
Ng projected fiscal 2024 revenue of $123.42 billion and EPS of $4.24. The analyst estimates fiscal 2025 revenue of $123.43 billion and EPS of $4.43.
Price Action: CMCSA stock is up 1.59% at $43.68 at the last check on Thursday.

What Happened: The controversy began when Musk accused Bezos of urging &#8220;everyone&#8221; to sell shares of Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) ahead of the 2024 presidential election.

TeamViewer: Major Marketing Spend About To Stop

Paycom Software (PAYC) is slated to announce its third-quarter earnings on October 30. While strong demand for its cloud-based HR tools continues, rising costs and margin pressures from ongoing AI investments raise concerns. Should you invest in PAYC before its earnings release? Read more to find out… Paycom Software, Inc. (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/PAYC/">PAYC</a>) will report its fiscal 2024 third-quarter earnings later this month, on <a href="https://investors.paycom.com/news/news-details/2024/Paycom-Software-Inc.-Announces-Third-Quarter-2024-Earnings-Release-Date-and-Conference-Call/default.aspx">October 30</a>. In this piece, we will determine whether Paycom is a buy or a sell ahead of its earnings release.
With a market cap of $9.39 billion, PAYC provides cloud-based human capital management (HCM) solutions tailored for small to mid-sized businesses across the U.S. Its all-in-one platform integrates payroll, HR, and talent management functions, helping companies manage their workforce more efficiently, from hiring to retirement.
While Paycom's revenue growth slowed to high single digits by the end of the first half of 2024, it aligns closely with its projected 10% growth target. Moreover, the company's revenue is expected to grow, thanks to the demand for innovative tools like Beti and GONE, which streamline operations by reducing non-productive hours and boosting client efficiency.
For the third quarter, analysts expect the company's revenue to increase 10.1% year-over-year to $447.18 million. However, its <a href="https://www.investopedia.com/terms/e/eps.asp">earnings per share</a> is forecasted to sit at $1.62, down 8.5% from the prior-year period. Nevertheless, the company has an impressive earnings history, having beaten the consensus EPS estimates in each of the trailing four quarters.
In the last reported quarter, PAYC exceeded the consensus revenue estimate by $1.15 million, while its adjusted EPS of $1.62 came in slightly above the forecasted $1.60. Given this performance, the upcoming earnings report has the potential for another beat.
Over the past three months, shares of PAYC have gained 1.6%, though they are still down 20.9% year-to-date, closing the latest trading session at $163.57
Here are the financial aspects of PAYC that could influence its price performance in the near term:
Solid Financials
For the second quarter, which ended June 30, 2024, PAYC's total revenue increased 9.1% year-over-year to $437.51 million. Its adjusted gross profit grew 6.1% over the prior-year period to $357.79 million. The company's operating income stood at $95.14 million, up 9% year-over-year.
In addition, its net income came in at $67.97 million and $1.20 per share, representing an increase of 5.4% and 8.1%, respectively, from the same period last year. Also, its cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, and restricted cash equivalents at the end of the period rose 11.6% from the prior-year period to $2.61 billion.
Favorable Annual Analyst Estimates
Street expects PAYC's EPS for the current year (ending December 2024) to increase marginally from the year-ago value to $7.78, while its revenue estimate of $1.87 billion reflects a growth of 10.3% year-over-year.
Moreover, for the fiscal year ending December 2025, PAYC's revenue is expected to increase 10.9% year-over-year to $2.07 billion. The company is estimated to post an earnings per share of $8.82 in the next year, indicating a 13.4% improvement from the prior year.
Discounted Valuation
In terms of forward P/E, PAYC is currently trading at 19.88x, 13.8% lower than the industry average of 23.05x. Likewise, its forward EV/EBIT multiple of 15.29 is 10.2% lower than the industry average of 17.02x.
In addition, the stock's trailing-12-month EV/EBITDA of 13.65x is marginally below the 13.86x industry average. Also, its trailing-12-month PEG multiple of 0.39 compares to the industry average of 1.11.
Robust Profitability
PAYC's 86.10% trailing-12-month gross profit margin is 172.2% higher than the 31.64% industry average. The stock's 16.72% trailing-12-month levered FCF margin is 154.9% higher than the 6.56% industry average.
Similarly, its trailing-12-month EBIT and net income margins of 32.87% and 26.55% are relatively higher than their respective industry averages of 10.06% and 6.16%. Furthermore, PAYC's trailing-12-month ROCE of 33.33% compares favorably to the industry average of 12.93%.
POWR Ratings Exhibit Mixed Prospects
PAYC's stance is apparent in its <a href="https://stocknews.com/powr-ratings/">POWR Ratings</a>. The stock has an overall rating of C, which translates to Neutral in our proprietary rating system. The POWR Ratings are calculated by taking into account 118 different factors, with each factor weighted to an optimal degree.
Our proprietary rating system also evaluates each stock based on eight distinct categories. PAYC's B grade for Value and Quality is justified by its lower-than-industry valuation and robust profitability, respectively.
Moreover, the stock is trading above its 100-day moving average of $157.55 but below its 200-day moving average of $173.42, justifying its C grade for Momentum.
PAYC is ranked #49 out of 131 stocks in the <a href="https://stocknews.com/category/software-application/">Software - Application</a> industry. <a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/PAYC/">Click here</a> to access PAYC's Growth, Stability, and Sentiment ratings.
Bottom Line
While there's optimism about Paycom's potential to capitalize on continued demand for its solutions, the company's focus on AI and innovation to enhance the client experience may impact its margins in the near term. In the first half of 2024, topline growth moderated, and higher expenses led to margin contraction. Although revenue is expected to grow, margins will likely remain under pressure.
If top line growth continues to slow, it could further weigh on profitability, potentially leading to bottom-line contraction and a weaker valuation, which could hurt the stock's performance. Given PAYC's high volatility, with a five-year beta of 1.18, the stock's price movements tend to be more pronounced than the broader market. This volatility could create future buying opportunities if the price dips lower. Thus, it could be wise for investors to monitor the stock closely in the coming months.
