Stocks That Hit 52-Week Lows On Friday

Unicaja Banco SA

Alibaba Group Holding (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>) and Amazon.Com Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) rival online marketplace Temu faces backlash from suppliers in China over its aggressive effort to reshape its business model radically.
The Chinese group, owned by the $177 billion e-commerce giant PDD Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PDD#NASDAQ">PDD</a>), recently sought to recruit Amazon merchants with goods in warehouses in the U.S. and EU, the Financial Times <a target="_blank" href="https://www.ft.com/content/5a562326-df49-433d-8e8b-d015a55c46bb" rel="noreferrer noopener">reports</a>.
This move aims to protect Temu's business if governments close a tax loophole that has fueled its growth.

It would also reduce delivery times by storing goods closer to shoppers, enabling Temu to sell bulkier and higher-margin products such as furniture and home appliances.
The pivot to suppliers with overseas warehouses marks a transition from a "fully managed" to a "semi-managed" model, where merchants take on shipping, warehousing, and last-mile delivery costs previously handled by Temu.
Several Chinese suppliers in Guangzhou have expressed doubts about this change, citing increased risks.
Dozens of suppliers have protested at Temu's offices in Guangzhou over the fines, with one showing evidence of 279 fines totaling 114 million Chinese yuan ($16 million).

To overcome this resistance, Temu promises to promote sellers by giving their products top slots on its platform if they sign up for the new model and offers a $3 subsidy per order for specific clothing items.
PDD Holdings stock gained over 42% in the last 12 months. Alibaba stock lost over 23%.
Price Action: PDD shares traded lower by 1.68% at $125.45 at the last check on Tuesday.

<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.

How Is The Market Feeling About Vertiv Hldgs?

In an unsettling bureaucratic mishap, Kenshay Watkins of Memphis found herself in a nightmarish predicament: legally declared dead by the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/05/39011316/warren-buffett-was-asked-if-social-security-was-a-government-sponsored-ponzi-scheme-for-retirees">Social Security Administration (SSA)</a>, effectively stripping her of access to her finances and health insurance. Despite being very much alive, Watkins has faced significant challenges as she tries to correct this grave error.
Don't Miss:
<ul>
<li>A billion-dollar investment strategy with minimums as low as $10 —<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/fundrise-flagship-fund"> you can become part of the next big real estate boom today.</a></li>
<li>Can you guess how many Americans successfully retire with $1,000,000 saved?<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/red-ventures"> The percentage may shock you</a>.</li>
<li>If there was a new fund backed by Jeff Bezos offering a 7-9% target yield with monthly dividends<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/arrived-private-credit-fund"> would you invest in it</a>?</li>
</ul>
In January, Watkins, a 35-year-old Memphis resident, applied for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/07/39668044/labor-economist-says-if-elon-musk-paid-for-social-security-on-his-salary-for-an-entire-year-it-w">Social Security benefits</a> to assist her after being hospitalized for seizures that made it difficult for her to work and drive. Unfortunately, her benefits were denied. During a visit to the SSA office to appeal this claim, the staff told her that she had been marked deceased on January 10, 2024. This error plunged her life into chaos for more than six months.&nbsp;&nbsp;
"Because I'm labeled deceased, I'm not who they say I am," Watkins told Fox 13 News. This simple yet devastating mistake disrupted every aspect of her life. Newly married, her situation was akin to vanishing into thin air. "Not literally, but tangibly, you've lost your wife and you're a widow," Watkins explained.

Letters addressed to "Kenshay Watkins Estate" began to arrive, and debt collectors, banks, and the IRS were informed that she was deceased. Her bank accounts were canceled, debt collectors began seeking repayment, and even her tax return wasn't processed due to her supposed death.&nbsp;
This entire ordeal went beyond just financial troubles, though. "They can't find my social security number, so they can't add me (to health insurance)," Watkins stated. She couldn&#8217;t drive, vote, or work. "Nobody can pay me. They can't deduct taxes. And it's illegal to pay me under the table, or we're both going to jail," she said.
Trending: Are you richer than most people you know?<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/are-you-richer-than-most-people"> Here&#8217;s the net worth you need at every age to be above average.</a>
&nbsp;After trying several times to fix the error, including many in-person trips to the Social Security office, Watkins was left feeling frustrated. "It's one of the most frustrating, most disheartening, most complicated, but so uncomplicated because a simple error has caused so much chaos," she sighed. Even though the SSA admitted their mistake in March, it took until mid-July to restore her living status. And this only occurred after Fox 13 contacted Congressman Steve Cohen's office for intervention.&nbsp;
Fox 13 spoke to the Social Security Administration about this mishap and discovered a disturbing statistic: out of approximately 3.1 million annual death reports to the SSA, less than one-third of a percent are incorrect. That percentage may seem small, but it equates to about 10,000 people each year facing the same situation as Watkins.&nbsp;
The whole situation has taken a profound emotional and mental toll on Watkins and her family. "I'm living with a ghost. Literally, paranormal activity," said her wife. Watkins' life is gradually returning to normal, but after the catastrophic effect of one simple bureaucratic error, the path to restoring all of her accounts remains long and arduous.&nbsp;
As Watkins continues to navigate the aftermath of this error, her story serves as a stark reminder of the importance of vigilance and advocacy in dealing with bureaucratic systems. For personalized assistance in navigating such challenges, consulting a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-online-financial-advisors">financial advisor</a> can be invaluable in ensuring your financial and legal matters are accurately managed and protected.

Amazon introduced advertising to its Prime Video platform five months ago and is going through its first "up front," when television companies present their plans to advertisers to attract money for the next year, the Financial Times <a target="_blank" href="https://www.ft.com/content/d45c4153-6c11-4f1e-9009-62f8adf5ac2b" rel="noreferrer noopener">reports</a>.
Many rival platforms, including Netflix, Max, Paramount+, and Walt Disney Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIS#NYSE">DIS</a>) Disney+, have introduced ad-supported tiers at lower prices than their ad-free subscriptions.

Analysts expect Apple Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) to bring ads to its <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39886297/apple-adjusts-hollywood-approach-cuts-costs-on-original-shows-report" rel="noreferrer noopener">TV+ service</a> soon.
Advertisers purchase "bundles" in various formats, making direct comparisons difficult. However, multiple executives and advertising leaders told the FT that Amazon is pricing its ad slots more cheaply than Netflix but higher than others like Disney.
The entry of Amazon has forced competitors to lower their prices, the FT cited advertising sources.
The e-commerce giant automatically converted over 200 million global subscribers to the ad tier unless they opted to pay more for the premium ad-free service.
Citi estimated in January that Prime Video adverts could generate over $5 billion in "high-margin advertising revenue" as it expands.
In the second quarter of 2024, Amazon Prime Video and Netflix led the U.S. subscription video-on-demand (SVOD) market, each holding a 22% share, as per <a target="_blank" href="https://www.statista.com/statistics/496011/usa-svod-to-tv-streaming-usage/" rel="noreferrer noopener">Statista</a>.
A <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39886297/apple-adjusts-hollywood-approach-cuts-costs-on-original-shows-report" rel="noreferrer noopener">recent report</a> indicated that Apple is refining its strategy in Hollywood after spending over $20 billion on original TV shows and movies that have yet to attract large audiences.
Apple's streaming service captures only 0.2% of TV viewing in the U.S. This is significantly lower than competitors like Netflix, which sees more monthly views than Apple does in a day.
Apple plans to make its streaming business more sustainable by paying less upfront for shows and canceling underperforming series faster.
Price Action: AMZN shares are trading higher by 0.45% at $184.03 at the last check on Tuesday.
