Following his basketball career, NBA Hall of Famer Kobe Bryant turned to investing in companies like BodyArmor and may have been helped on this new career path by<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/education/24/06/39547388/happy-birthday-elon-musk-53-facts-and-figures-about-tesla-spacex-ceo-on-his-53rd-birthday"> billionaire Elon Musk.</a>
What Happened: Bryant spoke highly of Musk during an appearance at a 2017 convenience store trade show promoting BodyArmor, a beverage brand <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/21/11/23794643/kobe-bryant-bought-10-of-bodyarmor-in-2014-heres-how-much-that-investment-is-worth-now">he invested in</a> back in 2014.
"Elon Musk is I think a genius by all accounts," Bryant said in the interview, as shared by <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jSVdxhTEJP4">CNBC</a>.
Bryant praised the commitment and work that Musk put into his companies during the interview. The former NBA star said that he asked Musk one time about how he continues learning.
"The amount of research and the amount of study that he does is unheard of."
Bryant said that Musk shared an important investment lesson with him.
"He will always say the most important thing is imagination."
Bryant shared with the interviewer that imagination could be the key to elevating great ideas beyond merely reading books and studying.
"If you don't have the imagination to then take it to another level, it doesn't mean anything."
Bryant said his conversation with Musk was great and a joy.
The interviewer asked Bryant if this meant he would buy Tesla stock, prompting a great sound bite from the NBA star.
"I'll buy into Elon," Bryant answered.
You may not be a billionaire like Elon Musk, but you can uncover hidden gems in the stock market using our proprietary data and pattern recognition — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/social-media/24/12/42490690/benzingas-stock-whisper-index-5-stocks-investors-secretly-monitor-but-dont-talk-about-yet">check out five stocks flying under the radar that deserve your attention.</a>
Why It's Important: Bryant died tragically in<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/20/01/15186099/nba-legend-kobe-bryant-41-dies-in-helicopter-crash"> a helicopter crash</a> in January 2020 at the age of 41.
In the NBA, Bryant spent 20 seasons with the Los Angeles Lakers, the second-most seasons with a single team in league history.
Bryant's 33,643 points rank fourth all-time and the NBA Hall of Famer holds several records and ranks among the top players of all time. Bryant won five NBA championships during his career and took home four NBA MVP awards and two NBA Finals MVP awards.
After his basketball career, Bryant became an investor in several companies, including BodyArmor. In 2014, Bryant invested $6 million for a 10% stake in the beverage company.
Coca-Cola later acquired full control of BodyArmor in 2021, increasing its existing minority stake in the company. The beverage giant paid $5.6 billion to acquire the remainder of the company valuing BodyArmor at $8 billion.
This meant that Bryant's early stake went from $6 million to $800 million, representing one of the best returns on an investment ever achieved by a former athlete.
Musk's advice for Bryant may have shaped the way he looked at the BodyArmor and other investments.

RPM International Gears Up For Q2 Print; Here Are The Recent Forecast Changes From Wall Street's Most Accurate Analysts

SMX (Security Matters) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMX#NASDAQ">SMX</a>) shares are surging after the company unveiled a groundbreaking integration of its technology <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/12/ac42681455/smx-integrates-its-proprietary-coating-and-digital-platform-technology-for-nfc-rfid-chip-markings" rel="noreferrer noopener">to mark and protect NFC and RFID chips</a>.
This innovation aims to reduce risks of counterfeiting, tampering, and supply chain vulnerabilities.
The company has embedded its unique markers into the coating of standard NFC and RFID chips, enabling precise authentication and verification throughout their lifecycle.
The proprietary coating not only works with off-the-shelf chips but also enhances durability, performance, and resilience to environmental stressors, potentially extending the lifespan and reliability of the chips.
Additionally, the coating can store data and withstand high temperatures (up to 150°C), providing extra protection against the elements.
SMX envisions its technology benefiting the growing market for wearable and flexible electronics, including smartwatches, fitness trackers, and medical devices, where secure, lightweight, and durable components are essential.
The technology is also well-suited for use in fashion, sports, and activewear, where components need to endure tough conditions like washing, flexing, and exposure to sweat and corrosion.
This month, SMX and Ybyra Capital formed a partnership. This deal positions Brazil to fully leverage its vast resources while implementing advanced technology for supply chain traceability, accountability, and sustainability, showcasing <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/12/ac42386164/combining-assets-smx-and-ybyr-capital-adds-the-once-missing-link-to-brazils-manufacturing-evoluti" rel="noreferrer noopener">the country&#8217;s commitment to leading global change</a>.

Kemper To Rally More Than 25%? Here Are 4 Top Analyst Forecasts For Thursday

In the current market session, Academy Sports Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ASO#NASDAQ">ASO</a>) share price is at $56.61, after a 2.74% drop. Over the past month, the stock increased by 20.93%, but over the past year, it actually decreased by 9.76%. With good short-term performance like this, and questionable long-term performance, long-term shareholders might want to start looking into the company's price-to-earnings ratio.

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1735227018_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>How Does Academy Sports P/E Compare to Other Companies?</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. 
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of the 19.34 in the Specialty Retail industry, Academy Sports Inc. has a lower P/E ratio of 9.62. Shareholders might be inclined to think that the stock might perform worse than it's industry peers. It's also possible that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1735227018_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In conclusion, the price-to-earnings ratio is a useful metric for analyzing a company's market performance, but it has its limitations. While a lower P/E can indicate that a company is undervalued, it can also suggest that shareholders do not expect future growth. Additionally, the P/E ratio should not be used in isolation, as other factors such as industry trends and business cycles can also impact a company's stock price. Therefore, investors should use the P/E ratio in conjunction with other financial metrics and qualitative analysis to make informed investment decisions.

A Look Into Academy Sports Inc's Price Over Earnings

In the footsteps of tech titans like Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos, real estate mogul Grant Cardone is making waves in Florida.
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/24/05/38921483/grant-cardone-hunts-for-multifamily-deals-in-sun-belt-as-market-struggles-with-declining-rents">Cardone has launched a groundbreaking investment fund</a> that merges real estate and cryptocurrency, according to Realtor.com. He believes the innovative approach can stabilize the volatile crypto market by balancing Bitcoin investments with the steady cash flow generated from a portfolio of 300 residential properties.
The ambitious fund seeks to raise $87.5 million, with a minimum investment of $250,000 per investor.

</ul>
"I make the purchase with my money and I pay cash for the real estate and the Bitcoin at purchase," Cardone told Realtor.com. "Then I offer it to my audience of investors and partners at the same price I purchased it. We have no debt."
For the next 48 months, the cash flow generated from the real estate portfolio will be systematically reinvested to purchase an additional $14 million worth of Bitcoin. The reinvestment strategy is expected to yield significant returns. Cardone claims historical performance suggests Bitcoin could appreciate to about $30 million over four years.
"This takes the volatility out of the Bitcoin because the real estate is cash flowing every month," Cardone said.
At the end of 48 months, the Bitcoin acquired through cash flow reinvestment will be liquidated. Investors will receive their initial capital back while retaining ownership of both the real estate and their original Bitcoin investment.

The innovative approach, combining the traditionally stable real estate market with the often unpredictable cryptocurrency market, raises questions about its feasibility: Can this unconventional strategy truly yield the desired results?
Yoann Dorat, a real estate agent at One Sotheby's International Realty in West Palm Beach, Florida, believes it may work.
"It's an interesting concept, like mixing two different worlds: one that's known for steady appreciation and reliable returns and another that's, well, the Wild West," Dorat said. "If you're comfortable with both real estate fundamentals and the roller-coaster nature of crypto, it might be worth exploring."
Cardone emphasizes the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/24/06/39318291/grant-cardone-claims-california-lost-1-billion-after-his-2012-exodus-to-florida">significant returns</a> he has achieved with his Bitcoin investment. In 2013, he received 100 Bitcoin for a speaking engagement in Las Vegas, a relatively small sum then valued at about $500. Today, that investment has yielded a remarkable return, with the current value of those Bitcoins estimated at around $10 million.
"I didn't even know what Bitcoin was, but I was like, ‘Let's do it,'" he said.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Cardone's Bitcoin Real Estate Fund Targets Space Coast&nbsp;</h2>
Cardone's Bitcoin real estate fund will focus on properties along Florida's Space Coast, a region renowned for its proximity to the Kennedy Space Center and Cape Canaveral.
The 72-mile stretch of coastline encompasses communities like Cocoa Beach, Melbourne and Titusville, offering a diverse range of housing options from $99,000 starter homes to luxury properties exceeding $6 million.
Cardone acknowledges that Musk&#8217;s SpaceX presence was a significant factor in his decision to invest in the region.
"I love Elon," said Cardone, whose investment firm owns about 10,000 units in Florida. "In one of our apartment buildings, where the average rent is $1,859 monthly, you can watch rockets from your patio."
Blue Origin, the private space company founded by Bezos, has invested over $1 billion in the Space Coast, enhancing the region's appeal to investors and homebuyers.

Cardone's real estate fund is likely to appeal to two main audiences:
&nbsp; Traditional real estate investors unfamiliar with decentralized finance (DeFi): These investors may be interested in the fund to gain exposure to cryptocurrency without having to directly invest in Bitcoin or other digital assets.
&nbsp; Crypto enthusiasts who are interested in using their cryptocurrency holdings to invest in real estate: These investors are unlikely to be interested in the fund's current structure, which involves converting Bitcoin into cash to purchase real estate. They would likely prefer to be able to use Bitcoin directly to purchase property or obtain crypto mortgages.
"As more investment models incorporate Bitcoin with traditional assets, adoption is likely to grow across diverse investor profiles," said Ronen Cojocaru, CEO of 8081.io, a web 3.0 fintech digital asset trading company.
Cardone's Bitcoin real estate fund is limited to accredited investors with a net worth of at least $1 million or an annual income exceeding $200,000 for the past two years.
However, Cardone aims to change this Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) requirement, advocating for equal investment opportunities for accredited and nonaccredited investors. He believes that people with smaller amounts, like $5,000, should have the same access and argues the SEC shouldn't dictate investment decisions.
Cardone plans to launch 12 similar funds by April.

Grant Cardone Launches New Fund – 'It's Like Mixing Two Different Worlds'

A plane <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/kazakhstan">crash in Kazakhstan</a> has prompted Azerbaijan to mourn the loss of 38 lives on Thursday while questions swirl around the cause.
What Happened: The Azerbaijan Airlines Embraer 190, en route from Baku to Grozny, Russia, diverted due to adverse weather conditions and crashed near Aktau, Kazakhstan, approximately 3 kilometers from the airport on Wednesday, according to The Associated Press. The AP <a href="https://apnews.com/article/azerbaijan-airliner-crash-aktau-kazakstan-embraer-872800d95273ee96e0950192a32e5228">reports </a>that speculation has risen about the circumstances leading to the crash, which injured all 29 survivors.
Initial reports indicate a bird strike forced the pilots to change course. Theories also emerged that the aircraft may have been unintentionally targeted by Russian air defense systems amid ongoing drone attacks in the North Caucasus.
Osprey Flight Solutions, a United Kingdom-based aviation security firm, suggested this incident could reflect broader risks tied to Russia's heightened military activity during its conflict with Ukraine, according to the AP. &#8220;It's painful to know that despite our efforts, lives were lost in a way that could have been avoided,&#8221; Osprey CEO Andrew Nicholson wrote.
The crash has left Azerbaijan and neighboring nations grieving. Flags across Azerbaijan were lowered, and a moment of silence was observed nationwide. Survivors included citizens of Azerbaijan, Russia, Kazakhstan, and Kyrgyzstan, with nine Russian nationals flown to Moscow for medical treatment. 
Kazakhstan's parliamentary speaker cautioned against premature conclusions, emphasizing the need for a thorough investigation.

Why It Matters: The tragedy underscores the volatile environment surrounding Russia's military operations. While Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov urged restraint in speculation, recent drone attacks in the region have intensified scrutiny.
The AP reports that Ukrainian drone attacks in the North Caucasus and unverified claims of another on Wednesday have fueled speculation that Russian air defenses may have mistakenly targeted the plane.
In related geopolitical developments, Russian President Vladimir Putin signaled <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42575876/russian-president-says-hes-willing-to-meet-trump-at-any-time-for-dialogue">openness to dialogue</a> with President-elect Donald Trump, potentially setting the stage for discussions that might address broader regional instability. 
Trump, who assumes office in January, has expressed a desire to mediate the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Bloomberg <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-12-19/putin-says-he-s-ready-to-meet-trump-hasn-t-seen-syria-s-assad">reports </a>that Putin is prepared for talks "at any time" to resolve pressing issues.

Meta Platforms, Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) has reportedly agreed to pay $1 million and implement significant reforms in its advertising system in Israel following a settlement filed in the District Labor Court.
The settlement addresses allegations of discriminatory job advertising practices on its platform, which allowed employers to restrict job ads based on age and gender, Globes <a target="_blank" href="https://en.globes.co.il/en/article-meta-to-pay-$1m-to-settle-job-ads-discrimination-suit-1001497837#:~:text=Meta%20(formerly%20Facebook)%20will%20pay,in%20the%20District%20Labor%20Court." rel="noreferrer noopener">reports</a>.
The case began in September 2021 when Ya'ala Lev, a 54-year-old marketing professional, discovered she was excluded from many job ads on Facebook.

An investigation revealed that Facebook's campaign management system enabled employers to narrowly target candidates by age, gender, and location, leaving entire groups, particularly those over 40, unseen by these ads.
High-profile employers, including Israel Electric Corporation and the Bank of Israel, were found using the platform exclusively to target younger candidates. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission intervened, citing the matter as critical to employment equality with significant societal implications.
Under the settlement, Meta will pay $1 million to the Israeli Ministry of Justice's class actions fund and enforce critical changes to its advertising system in Israel, per the report. Advertisers in the country must reconfirm their adherence to anti-discrimination policies. Additionally, Meta will publish guidelines in Hebrew detailing how to post inclusive job ads and emphasizing the legal obligation to ensure equal access for all candidates.
Meta held $70.9 billion in cash and equivalents as of <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/10/41637326/meta-platforms-q3-earnings-revenue-beat-eps-beat-daily-actives-up-5-strong-momentum-in-ai" rel="noreferrer noopener">September 30, 2024</a>.

<h3>About Apple</h3>
Apple is among the largest companies in the world, with a broad portfolio of hardware and software products targeted at consumers and businesses. Apple's iPhone makes up a majority of the firm sales, and Apple's other products like Mac, iPad, and Watch are designed around the iPhone as the focal point of an expansive software ecosystem. Apple has progressively worked to add new applications, like streaming video, subscription bundles, and augmented reality. The firm designs its own software and semiconductors while working with subcontractors like Foxconn and TSMC to build its products and chips. Slightly less than half of Apple's sales come directly through its flagship stores, with a majority of sales coming indirectly through partnerships and distribution.
