Bristol-Myers Squibb, Deckers Outdoor And 3 Stocks To Watch Heading Into Friday

Elon Musk&#8216;s rocket manufacturing company SpaceX is gearing up to resume launch operations after a two-week-long pause. 
What Happened: SpaceX launched Falcon 9 with 20 Starlink satellites from California on July 11. However, the Starlink satellites were deployed in a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39766325/starlink-satellites-from-thursdays-launch-will-fully-demise-in-earths-atmosphere-says-elon-musks-spa">lower-than-intended orbit </a>owing to an issue with the rocket's second-stage engine. The company&#8217;s launch operations have been on hold since. 
The company subsequently conducted an investigation with oversight from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and has identified the most probable cause of the mishap, it said on Thursday. Necessary design changes have also been deployed to prevent a recurrence of the issue.
&#8220;Safety and reliability are at the core of SpaceX's operations. It would not have been possible to achieve our current cadence without this focus, and thanks to the pace we've been able to launch, we're able to gather unprecedented levels of flight data and are poised to rapidly return to flight, safely and with increased reliability,&#8221;&nbsp;SpaceX said.
The company is now looking to resume launch activities, starting as soon as Saturday, July 27. 
As for the Starlink satellites that were deployed in a lower-than-intended orbit on the last launch, they <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/07/39948582/cat-in-a-dogs-world-outsmarts-dogecoin-shiba-inu-emerges-as-top-coin-for-the-week-whats-go">re-entered Earth&#8217;s atmosphere</a> and were fully demised upon reentry, SpaceX said. No debris has been reported to date, it added. 
Why It Matters:&nbsp;SpaceX&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39612042/elon-musks-spacex-launches-67-missions-in-first-half-of-2024-trailing-own-targets" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">completed 67 missions</a>&nbsp;using its Falcon launch vehicles as of the end of the second quarter, with Falcon 9 alone accounting for 66 launches.&nbsp;&nbsp;The company is looking to launch 144 times in 2024, averaging twelve times per month.
The two-week-long pause poses a major threat to SpaceX&#8217;s launch targets, with the company having launched only three missions in July thus far.
On its upcoming flight planned for July 27, the company is looking to launch 23 Starlink satellites to low-Earth orbit aboard a Falcon 9 launch vehicle from Florida. 
Starlink is the satellite internet segment of Musk's SpaceX. It achieved a&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/11/35583773/spacex-ceo-elon-musk-says-starlink-business-has-achieved-breakeven-cash-flow-is-an-ipo-on-the-cards" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">breakeven cash flow</a>&nbsp;in November.

3M Earnings Are Imminent; These Most Accurate Analysts Revise Forecasts Ahead Of Earnings Call

Epic Games has announced that its flagship game, Fortnite, will soon be available for download on Apple Inc.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) iPhones and iPads <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39654022/apple-approves-epic-games-marketplace-app-in-europe-amid-ongoing-feud">in the EU</a>. However, the company has also decided to pull out its game from Samsung Electronics&#8217;s (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SSNLF#OTC">SSNLF</a>) Galaxy Store.
What Happened: On Thursday, the Fortnite maker announced this latest development adding that the company plans to expand the availability of its mobile games, including Fortnite, to other app stores.
&#8220;We will be ending distribution partnerships with mobile stores that serve as rent collectors without competing robustly and serving all developers fairly, even if those stores offer us a special deal for our own games,&#8221; Epic said in a press release.
Epic also announced that its mobile games will be accessible on AltStore, a third-party store that permits side-loading, on iOS in the EU. The company also intends to extend support to at least two other third-party stores.

Meanwhile, the company&#8217;s move to exit the Samsung Galaxy Store comes as a protest against the smartphone maker&#8217;s decision to prevent side-loading by default on Android devices.
&#8220;In sad news, we are today announcing that Fortnite and our other games will be leaving the Samsung Galaxy Store in protest of Samsung&#8217;s anticompetitive decision to&nbsp;block side-loading&nbsp;by default on Samsung Android devices,&#8221; Epic stated.

Why It Matters: The latest development comes amid the company&#8217;s ongoing legal battle with Apple. The gaming company has been challenging the high commissions on in-app purchases and the restriction on users to download apps only <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39646883/fortnite-maker-epic-games-accuses-apple-of-blocking-its-game-store-launch">through the App Store</a>.
Earlier in July,&nbsp;Apple had approved Epic Games&#8217;&nbsp;marketplace app&nbsp;for&nbsp;iPhones and iPads in Europe. This came after <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/gaming/24/03/37517484/apple-terminates-epic-games-developer-account-in-ongoing-feud-over-app-store-fees">Epic accused the company</a> of obstructing its efforts to launch a game store on Apple devices.
The Epic Games Store will be launched globally on Android and iOS in the EU. The timeline for this, however, remains unspecified. Last month, Epic announced that the company&#8217;s marketplace and Fortnite will be <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/gaming/24/06/39340107/epic-games-store-and-fortnite-coming-to-ios-in-japan-by-late-2025">accessible on iOS in Japan</a> by late 2025.

Jersey City mayor Steven Fulop announced allocating a portion of the city's pension fund to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/bitcoin-etf">Bitcoin spot exchange-traded funds</a> (ETF,) becoming just the second pension fund after Wisconsin to get exposure to the price moves of the apex cryptocurrency.
What Happened: The mayor informed Thursday that the pension fund is updating paperwork with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to invest in the investment vehicles that have been trading on US stock markets since early January. 
Fulop, however, didn't mention which ETF the funds will be allocated to, or the exact allocation percentage. He said that the allocation would be in line with the 2% allocation done by the Wisconsin Pension Fund in May.

A former janitor at Frito-Lay has filed a lawsuit against the company, saying that he was the mastermind behind the creation of the iconic Flamin&#8217; Hot Cheetos. The ex-employee, Richard Montañez, claims that his career suffered a significant setback after the company discredited his role in the snack&#8217;s inception.
What Happened: Montañez, who rose to the position of VP of sales at Frito-Lay, has taken legal action against the company and its parent, PepsiCo Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PEP#NASDAQ">PEP</a>), for allegedly distorting the history of Flamin&#8217; Hot Cheetos, <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2024/07/25/flamin-hot-cheetos-janitor-lawsuit/">reported</a> The Washington Post.
The lawsuit, filed in the San Bernardino Superior Court, accuses the companies of providing false information to the Los Angeles Times, which published an article undermining Montañez&#8217;s claim to the snack&#8217;s creation.
Montañez contends that this article led to a decline in his career as a public speaker and consultant, roles he took up after retiring from his 43-year tenure at Frito-Lay and PepsiCo in 2019. He alleges that the companies&#8217; &#8220;open racism and blatant lies&#8221; have severely impacted his professional opportunities.
"I created Flamin' Hot Cheetos not only as a product but as a movement and as a loyal executive for PepsiCo," Montañez said.&nbsp;
PepsiCo and Frito-Lay did not immediately respond to&nbsp;<a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga</a>'s request for comment.
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39931967/nvidia-mcdonalds-and-2-other-stocks-insiders-are-selling?itm_source=parsely-api" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Nvidia, McDonald&#8217;s And 2 Other Stocks Insiders Are Selling</a>
Why It Matters: The Flamin&#8217; Hot Cheetos controversy has been a topic of debate for several years. Montañez, who claims to have invented the snack in the 1980s, has been celebrated for his rags-to-riches story, which was even adapted into a biopic. 
However, in 2018, a former Frito-Lay employee disputed Montañez&#8217;s account, sparking an internal investigation by the company. This investigation, as reported by the Los Angeles Times in 2021, found no evidence of Montañez&#8217;s involvement in the product&#8217;s development.
Despite the controversy, Flamin&#8217; Hot Cheetos have remained a billion-dollar brand for Frito-Lay and PepsiCo, inspiring a range of chile-flavored snacks and even influencing pop culture. 
The lawsuit comes at a time when PepsiCo is facing multiple challenges. Recently, the company reported weaker-than-expected revenue for the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/07/39754325/these-analysts-slash-their-forecasts-on-pepsico-after-weak-revenue">second quarter of FY24</a>, with sales growth of just 0.8% year-on-year, missing analyst estimates. Despite this, the company managed to beat earnings expectations, with an adjusted EPS of $2.28.
Additionally, PepsiCo has been making strides in sustainability. The company recently partnered with Yara International ASA to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39795521/pepsico-teams-up-with-yara-to-reduce-crop-emissions-in-europe">reduce crop emissions</a> across Europe, aiming to decarbonize its food value chain.
Moreover, the company has faced setbacks in its North American market, particularly with its Quaker Foods North America division, which <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/07/39734040/pepsico-q2-earnings-beat-soft-qfna-results-hurt-stock">experienced product recalls</a>.

If the Company is unable to regain compliance by January 15, 2025, the Company may, under certain circumstances, be eligible for an additional 180 calendar day period to demonstrate compliance with the minimum bid price requirement. If the Company does not qualify for the second compliance period or fails to regain compliance during the second 180 calendar day period, then Nasdaq will notify the Company of its determination to delist the ordinary shares, at which point the Company would have an opportunity to appeal the delisting determination to a Hearings Panel.

Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk and renowned author Stephen King have once again <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/11/35583364/stephen-king-thinks-twitter-rebranded-as-x-is-sh-but-elon-musks-tongue-in-cheek-reply-in-favor-of-it">engaged in a witty banter</a> on social media. This time it was a joke-off, where they both took turns telling jokes.
What Happened: On Thursday, the King of Horror, as the author is sometimes called, initiated the banter, jesting about an Italian chef&#8217;s demise and questioning Musk&#8217;s ability to match his humor.
&#8220;The Italian chef died. You could say he pasta-way. Can Elon tell jokes like that? I&#8217;m thinking no,&#8221; he posted on X, formerly Twitter.
In response, Musk posted a couple of jokes of his own. &#8220;What do you call a Great Dane eating a small piece of ham in a little village? Hamlet eating hamlet in a hamlet,&#8221; he posted.

The tech mogul shared another joke, &#8220;My roommate says I'm a delusional schizophrenic. Jokes on him, I don't have a roommate!&#8221;
This humorous exchange came a day after King ribbed Musk about his acquisition of the social media platform. &#8220;Twitter-Twitter-Twitter. Sorry, Elon. You bought it. You&#8217;re stuck with it.&#8221;
At the time, Musk responded, &#8220;It hurts our feelings when you deadname.&#8221; The tech billionaire acquired Twitter for $44 billion in October 2022 and soon after rebranded the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/23/09/34840454/formerly-twitter-fiasco-musks-x-faces-identity-crisis-on-apples-app-store">social media platform as X</a>.

Elon Musk And Stephen King Entangle Again On X: This Time Horror King Challenges Techno King To A Joke-Off

In a massive endorsement for the world&#8217;s largest cryptocurrency, presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said he&#8217;d make the U.S. government buy Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) equivalent to the country&#8217;s gold reserves.
What Happened: Kennedy, who is running as an independent, expressed during an interview, his intent to persuade the federal government to amass Bitcoin until its holdings equaled the nation&#8217;s gold reserves.
It&#8217;s worth noting that the U.S. has the largest gold reserves of any country in the world, worth nearly $579 billion, <a href="https://www.gold.org/goldhub/data/gold-reserves-by-country">according </a>to the World Gold Council. This is equivalent to 43% of Bitcoin&#8217;s current global market cap.

</div>
</figure>
It&#8217;s worth noting that 
In the interview moderated by YouTuber Scott Melker, Kennedy described Bitcoin as an &#8216;honest currency,&#8217; praising its decentralized nature for embodying democratic principles. He also dubbed that currency an &#8220;offramp to the inflationary highway.&#8221;

Why It Matters: These remarks come amid <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/07/39914148/donald-trump-to-announce-a-strategic-bitcoin-reserve-crypto-bettors-think-its-unlikely-but">considerable speculations</a> that Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump will announce Bitcoin as a strategic reserve asset during the ongoing Bitcoin Conference 2024. Interestingly, Kennedy is also slated to speak at the marquee event.
Kennedy's pro-cryptocurrency stance is not new. Earlier in March, he blamed big banks for turning Congress members against Bitcoin and emphasized the need for transactional freedom.
Kennedy has also <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/05/39103888/robert-kennedy-jr-applauds-trumps-crypto-commitment-expresses-hope-for-bidens-alignment">praised Trump&#8217;s pivot to a pro-cryptocurrency stance</a> during the Consensus 2024 conference in May.

Robert Kennedy Jr. Proposes Bitcoin Purchase To Match US Gold Reserves: 'An Offramp To The Inflationary Highway'

Japan&#8217;s SBI Holdings (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SBHGF#OTC">SBHGF</a>) has teamed up with U.S. investment firm Franklin Resources Inc.&#8216;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BEN#NYSE">BEN</a>) subsidiary Franklin Templeton to establish a digital asset management company. This venture aims to prepare for the potential approval of Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) and cryptocurrency exchange-traded funds in Japan.
What Happened: The new company, in which SBI will hold a 51% stake and Franklin Templeton the remaining 49%, is set to launch as early as this year. With approximately $1.6 trillion in assets under management, Franklin Templeton is the world&#8217;s seventh-largest asset manager, <a href="https://asia.nikkei.com/Spotlight/Cryptocurrencies/Franklin-Templeton-and-SBI-team-up-to-bring-bitcoin-ETFs-to-Japan">reported</a> Nikkei on Friday.
While Franklin Templeton has traditionally focused on asset classes such as stocks and bonds, it has recently expanded into digital assets. 
The firm was among the first to venture into spot Bitcoin ETFs after they were approved by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in January. The cumulative inflows into these ETFs have surpassed $16 billion in just over six months.

Japan is yet to approve Bitcoin ETFs, but the new company is poised to launch crypto ETF products as soon as the Financial Services Agency gives the green light. The joint venture is also expected to offer digital asset securities, an area where Franklin Templeton has already made significant headway.
Why It Matters: The collaboration between SBI Holdings and Franklin Templeton comes at a time when the cryptocurrency market is experiencing significant developments globally. 
In January, the SEC approved a Bitcoin ETF, marking a pivotal moment in the history of cryptocurrencies. This decision has been seen as a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/01/36792534/exclusive-secs-green-light-to-bitcoin-etf-is-2024-a-new-era-for-cryptocurrencies">major step towards mainstream acceptance</a> and could potentially unlock a new wave of institutional investment in the crypto sector.
In June, Australia saw the listing of its first-ever Bitcoin spot ETF on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/06/39404023/first-ever-bitcoin-spot-etf-start-trading-on-australias-main-stock-market-investors-get-ex">its main stock market</a>, further boosting the cryptocurrency sector. The VanEck Bitcoin ETF, with a seed investment of nearly $657,000, made its debut on the Australian Securities Exchange.
Additionally, in July, Hong Kong launched Asia&#8217;s first <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/07/39883795/hong-kong-launches-asias-first-bitcoin-futures-inverse-product">Bitcoin futures inverse product</a>, marking a new milestone in the evolution of crypto-based financial instruments in the region. 
With the approval of Bitcoin ETFs, investors can now include this digital asset in their portfolios through traditional brokerage accounts, similar to how they invest in stocks or bonds. For <a href="https://benzinga.com/money/best-spot-bitcoin-etfs">those looking to diversify</a>, options include Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund Common Shares of Beneficial Interest (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FBTC#BATS">FBTC</a>), ProShares Bitcoin Strategy ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BITO#NYSE">BITO</a>), Valkyrie Bitcoin and Ether Strategy ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BTF#NASDAQ">BTF</a>), VanEck Bitcoin Trust Common Shares of Beneficial Interest (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HODL#BATS">HODL</a>), ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF Common Shares of Beneficial Interests (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKB#BATS">ARKB</a>), Franklin Templeton Digital Holdings Trust Shares of Franklin Bitcoin ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EZBC#BATS">EZBC</a>), and iShares Bitcoin Trust (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IBIT#NASDAQ">IBIT</a>).
Price Action: Bitcoin traded at $67,027.60 today, up 1.87%. Year to date, Bitcoin has increased by $22,855.60, or 51.74%, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

Bitcoin ETFs In Japan: Franklin Templeton Partners With SBI Holdings To Launch Digital Asset Management Company

Visa Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/V#NYSE">V</a>) has successfully leveraged artificial intelligence and machine learning to prevent $40 billion in fraudulent activities, according to a company executive.
What Happened: James Mirfin, global head of risk and identity solutions at Visa, <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/07/26/ai-and-machine-learning-helped-visa-combat-40-billion-in-fraud-activity.html">informed</a> CNBC that the company has utilized AI and machine learning to combat fraudulent activities, which have nearly doubled from the previous year.
Visa has managed to prevent $40 billion in fraudulent activities from October 2022 to September 2023, which is almost twice the amount from the previous year, Mirfin said.
He explained that fraudsters use AI to generate primary account numbers (PAN) and repeatedly test them. This method, known as an enumeration attack, results in $1.1 billion in fraud losses annually.
&#8220;We look at over 500 different attributes around [each] transaction, we score that and we create a score –that&#8217;s an AI model that will actually do that. We do about 300 billion transactions a year,&#8221; Mirfin told CNBC.
Visa assigns a real-time risk score to each transaction to detect and prevent enumeration attacks in transactions processed remotely without a physical card via a card reader or terminal.

&#8220;Every single one of those [transactions] has been processed by AI. It&#8217;s looking at a range of different attributes and we&#8217;re evaluating every single transaction,&#8221; Mirfin said.
Visa also uses AI to assess the likelihood of fraud for token provisioning requests and has invested $10 billion in technology to reduce fraud and increase network security over the last five years.
Why It Matters: The significance of Visa&#8217;s achievement in preventing $40 billion in fraudulent transactions is underscored by the alarming rise in cybercrime. According to Charles Lobo, Visa&#8217;s Regional Risk Officer for Central and Eastern Europe, Middle East, and Africa, cybercrime could rival the world&#8217;s top economies by 2025, with projected costs <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/07/39913436/visa-warns-cybercrime-could-rival-worlds-top-economies-by-2025-reportedly-defends-against-40b-in">reaching $10.5 trillion annually</a>.
Additionally, the use of AI-generated fake IDs to bypass Know Your Customer (KYC) checks on cryptocurrency exchanges has become <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/02/36950776/ai-generated-fake-ids-bypass-crypto-exchange-kyc-checks-okx-says-industry-wide-issue">a widespread issue</a>. OnlyFake, an online service, has been creating counterfeit IDs that successfully pass KYC checks, raising significant security concerns.
Moreover, the use of deepfake technology in scams is on the rise. In one instance, fraudsters used deepfake technology to impersonate a company&#8217;s CFO during a video call, resulting in a $25 million loss, as reported by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/02/36930090/fraudsters-use-deepfake-tech-to-steal-25-million-in-sophisticated-corporate-scam">Hong Kong police</a>.
Furthermore, the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission recently warned about a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/05/38895127/elon-musk-deepfake-scam-used-to-promote-fraudulent-crypto-trading-platform-hong-kongs-fina">fraudulent cryptocurrency trading platform</a> called &#8220;Quantum AI,&#8221; which used deepfakes of Elon Musk to lure victims, highlighting the growing use of AI in committing fraud, particularly in Asia.

CrowdStrike Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRWD#NASDAQ">CRWD</a>) CEO George Kurtz has confirmed that more than 97% of the company&#8217;s Windows sensors are back online following a global outage.
What Happened: The outage was caused by a faulty software update from the cybersecurity firm, which led to a global system crash on Microsoft Corp.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) Windows operating system. The incident occurred last week, affecting over 8.5 million Windows devices.
Kurtz, however, has announced that the recovery process has been significantly improved, thanks to the development of automatic recovery techniques and the mobilization of all resources to support affected customers.

Why It Matters: The outage, which began on Jul. 19, was attributed to a flawed security update from CrowdStrike&#8217;s Falcon platform. The issue originated from the Rapid Response Content, a dynamic protection mechanism, which inadvertently caused a system crash due to an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39930356/crowdstrike-blames-error-with-test-software-for-taking-down-8-5m-windows-computers-globally-says-a-n">undetected error in the update</a>. 
CrowdStrike has since reverted the defective update and emphasized that Mac and Linux hosts remained unaffected. 
In response to the disruption, CrowdStrike offered a $10 Uber Eats gift card to its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/07/39948973/crowdstrike-offers-10-uber-eats-gift-card-as-apology-for-its-outage-that-took-down-8-5m-windows-">partners as an apology</a>. However, some users reported issues redeeming the vouchers, which were flagged as fraud due to high usage rates. 
Interestingly, less than two months ago, Jim Cramer, the host of CNBC&#8217;s &#8220;Mad Money,&#8221; had praised CrowdStrike, expressing confidence in the company&#8217;s stability. However, the recent events have shown the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/07/39963188/to-no-ones-surprise-jim-cramer-praised-crowdstrike-less-than-two-months-ago-i-dont-think-that-domino">unpredictability of the stock market</a>, even for seasoned experts. 
The faulty update not only disrupted everyday operations but also significantly impacted <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/24/07/39903295/how-a-faulty-cybersecurity-update-from-crowdstrike-unleashed-chaos-on-global-infrastructure-while-m">critical infrastructure globally</a>, including major airlines, financial institutions, and emergency services. U.S. airlines experienced groundings and over 1,500 flight cancellations. Similar issues occurred in Germany and Spain. 
Price Action: CrowdStrike&#8217;s stock closed at $254.15 on Thursday, down 1.55% for the day. In after-hours trading, the stock increased 0.30%. Year to date, the stock has risen by 2.94%, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.
