Detroit-based automaker General Motors (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>) said on Monday that it surpassed selling its 300,000th electric vehicle in the U.S. since 2016 in October. 
What Happened: &#8220;We have more great EVs coming soon, like Cadillac's OPTIQ and ESCALADE IQ, ensuring that when you're ready to make the switch to an all-electric vehicle, you won't have to compromise,&#8221; the company said in a statement. &#8220;GM has spent decades advancing EV technology.&#8221;
GM made a battery electric car as far back as late 90s called the EV1 but the program was eventually terminated in 2001. 
Tesla Inc CEO Elon Musk said in June 2023 that if General Motors had made more EV1s, they would have been the leaders in electric vehicles today. "But they didn't, so there was need for Tesla,&#8221; <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/06/32910764/general-motors-would-have-been-ev-leaders-if-they-made-more-ev1s-says-tesla-ceo-elon-musk">he said</a>.
According to data from automotive research company Kelley Blue Book, Tesla sold 471,374 EVs in the U.S. through the end of the third quarter, exceeding GM&#8217;s EV sales across nearly 8 years.
Why It Matters: In the third quarter, GM became the second best-seller of EVs in the U.S. after Tesla after selling over 32,000 EVs, with the Chevrolet Equinox EV accounting for a majority of the deliveries.
GM had the longest EV lineup in the U.S. among major players including Tesla in the quarter with eight EV models on sale. 
"We are on track to produce and wholesale approximately 200,000 EVs this year and reach variable profit positive in Q4. Our EV momentum is growing," company CFO&nbsp;Paul A Jacobson&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/10/41485013/gm-accelerates-its-ev-ambitions-after-a-strong-q3-in-us-powers-it-past-ford-aims-for-200k-wholes">said </a>during the company&#8217;s third-quarter earnings call last month. 
For the third quarter, GM reported better-than-expected<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/10/41462946/general-motors-strong-q3-earnings-impress-analysts-highlights-turnaround-and-ev-pro" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> results</a>.
GM's quarterly adjusted earnings per share of $2.96 beat the street view of $2.43. Quarterly sales of $48.757 billion also beat the analyst consensus estimate of $44.585 billion.
The company also raised 2024 adjusted EPS guidance from $9.50 – $10.50 to $10.00 – $10.50.

Meta Platforms Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) announced it will make its open-source Llama artificial intelligence models available to U.S. government agencies working on national security and defense applications, marking a significant expansion of the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/41734318/mark-zuckerbergs-nuclear-powered-ai-ambitions-at-meta-stung-by-rare-bees">technology&#8217;s authorized use cases</a>.
The social media giant is partnering with major government contractors and technology firms including Amazon.com Inc.&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) Amazon Web Services, Lockheed Martin Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LMT#NYSE">LMT</a>), Microsoft Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>), Oracle Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ORCL#NYSE">ORCL</a>), and Palantir Technologies Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NYSE">PLTR</a>) to implement these AI models across various defense initiatives.
&#8220;As an American company, and one that owes its success in no small part to the entrepreneurial spirit and democratic values the United States upholds, Meta wants to play its part to support the safety, security and economic prosperity of America – and of its closest allies too,&#8221; said Nick Clegg, President of Global Affairs at Meta.
Several contractors have already begun implementing Llama in their operations:
<ul>
<li>Oracle is using the technology to improve aircraft maintenance by helping technicians diagnose problems more quickly</li>
<li>Scale AI is fine-tuning the model for national security missions and identifying potential vulnerabilities</li>
<li>Lockheed Martin has integrated Llama into its AI Factory for code generation and data analysis</li>
<li>Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure are hosting the models on secure cloud platforms for sensitive government data</li>
</ul>

Why It Matters: Meta emphasized that making Llama available for defense applications aligns with U.S. interests in the global AI race, particularly as nations like China invest heavily in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/top-stories/24/11/41718416/exclusive-top-20-most-searched-tickers-on-benzinga-pro-in-october-2024-where-do-tesla-nvidia-apple-d">developing their own open-source models</a>.
The company noted that large language models can support various aspects of national security, including streamlining logistics, tracking terrorist financing, and strengthening cyber defenses.
Beyond military applications, Meta highlighted broader public sector benefits, with Deloitte implementing Llama-based solutions for government agencies and nonprofits to improve public service delivery in areas such as education and energy.

PolitiFi tokens themed around Donald Trump and Kamala Harris were getting dumped ahead of the Tuesday presidential elections.
What happened: Maga, the largest Trump-inspired coin, dropped 0.5% over the last 24 hours, while Maga Hat crashed over 16% in this period, <a href="https://www.coingecko.com/en/categories/politifi">according </a>to CoinGecko.
Doland Tremp, parodying the former president's name, also tanked over 6%.&nbsp;
Meanwhile, coins mimicking Vice President Kamala Harris weren't spared either, with Kamala Horris, the largest of all Harris-themed tokens in terms of market cap, slipping 9%.&nbsp;
<figure class="wp-block-table">

That said, on a weekly timeframe, KAMA was the clear winner, soaring 58% while most Trump-themed tokens bled heavily.
PolitiFi tokens have been a rage this election year. As the name suggests, these tokens incorporate political themes and campaigns into the cryptocurrency realm.&nbsp;
TRUMP, rooted in Trump's "Make America Great Again" movement, has been the biggest beneficiary, surging an astounding 1171% year-to-date. KAMA, on the other hand, has fallen 62% this year.

Why It Matters: These moves come as both presidential candidates gear up for the ultimate fight on Tuesday.
Betting platforms like Polymarket and Kalshi are <a href="https://polymarket.com/">leaning </a>toward a Trump win, though the GOP nominee's odds fell drastically over the weekend.
Election polls, however, painted a tighter race, with a new Emerson College election poll <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/11/41728436/trump-vs-harris-2024-election-deadlocked-final-emerson-poll-shows-one-candidate-with-small-edge-">showing the two candidates</a> deadlocked at 49%.&nbsp;

Trump, Harris-Inspired Cryptos Crack Ahead Of Election Day—Coin Parodying Vice President Still Up Over 50% This Week

On Monday, Palantir Technologies Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NYSE">PLTR</a>) unveiled its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/11/41730179/palantir-q3-earnings-revenue-beat-eps-beat-customers-up-39-raises-guidance-results-driven-by-unrele">third-quarter financial results</a>, underscoring its distinctive strategy of maximizing AI models, a move that sets it apart in the AI race.
What Happened: During the company earnings call, Palantir&#8217;s chief revenue and legal officer,&nbsp;Ryan Taylor, shed light on the company&#8217;s unique AI strategy.
He pointed out that while most investments are geared towards enhancing AI models, Palantir&#8217;s approach is to maximize these models within the enterprise context.
Taylor stressed that the capability to effectively leverage these models is what distinguishes the &#8220;AI haves&#8221; from the &#8220;AI have-nots.&#8221;

In essence, Palantir positions itself not as a model creator but as an AI application leader, enabling clients to extract real-world value from AI by leveraging rich, context-driven data and a unique infrastructure — an approach he said will become increasingly valuable in this &#8220;winner-takes-all&#8221; AI economy.
Taylor shared examples of how Palantir's strategy has benefited clients, such as a global insurance firm that reduced underwriting response times from over two weeks to just three hours.
Another example included Associated Materials, which increased its on-time delivery rates from 40% to 90%.
Palantir&#8217;s unique AI approach has also significantly influenced its bottom line, he stated. The company sealed 104 deals over $1 million last quarter, and its U.S. Commercial business continues to gain traction in both expansions and new customer acquisitions.

Why It Matters: Palantir&#8217;s third-quarter earnings beat expectations, with total revenue up 30% year-over-year, driven by an&nbsp;&#8216;unrelenting AI demand&#8217;&nbsp;that shows no signs of slowing down.
The company&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/11/41734875/palantirs-ai-gamble-pays-off-as-customer-revenue-from-single-customer-jumps-12x-in-under-8-month">unique AI strategy has paid off</a>, with one equipment rental company increasing its annual recurring revenue twelvefold in less than eight months after implementing Palantir's AI platform.
Palantir&#8217;s robust performance has earned it the title of&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/11/41732827/messi-of-ai-wall-street-analyst-gushes-over-robust-earnings-from-palantir">&#8216;The Messi of AI&#8217;</a>&nbsp;from Wedbush analyst Dan Ives.
Despite the skeptics honing in on valuation for the past year, this was a major quarter to prove that PLTR&#8217;s partner ecosystem expansion and AIP bootcamps hit another gear," Ives said following the latest earnings report.
Last month, Palantir also <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/10/41141540/palantir-technologies-partners-with-edgescale-ai-to-operationalize-ai-in-manufacturing-and-utili">announced a strategic partnership</a> with Edgescale AI Inc. to launch Live Edge, an innovative integration of Palantir Edge AI and Edgescale AI's distributed infrastructure technology.

Brian Armstrong, CEO of Coinbase, criticized the government&#8217;s overreach and lack of transparency amid the ongoing tussle between the cryptocurrency industry and regulatory bodies.
What Happened: On Monday, Armstrong raised concerns about the &#8220;political capture&#8221; of government agencies, which emboldens them to make decisions on matters beyond their jurisdiction.
&#8220;This is part of the problem with big government &#8211; it tends to get captured politically and start painting outside the bounds of the law,&#8221; Coinbase&#8217;s top executive said. &#8220;If you have small government, there is nothing to capture.&#8221;

The critical remark came in response to Coinbase&#8217;s legal head Paul Grewal&#8217;s claims about the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) instructing banks to halt or refrain from offering cryptocurrency-banking services.
&#8220;So far we&#8217;ve uncovered more than 20 examples of the FDIC telling banks to "pause" or "refrain from providing" or "not proceed" with offering crypto-banking services. The public deserves transparency, not an agency that's working behind a bureaucratic curtain,&#8221; Grewal wrote in an X post.
The FDIC didn&#8217;t immediately return Benzinga&#8217;s request for comment.

Why It Matters: Armstrong&#8217;s comments come in the wake of Coinbase&#8217;s ongoing legal battle with the SEC and the FDIC. The cryptocurrency behemoth <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/06/39526310/coinbase-sues-sec-and-fdic-over-alleged-attempts-to-stifle-crypto-industry">sued these agencies</a> over attempts to hinder the industry&#8217;s access to the banking sector and failing to comply with Freedom of Information Act requests.
Armstrong has previously <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/10/41602107/coinbase-ceo-brian-armstrong-says-next-sec-chair-should-apologize-for-the-damage-done-to-t">criticized the SEC</a> for its inconsistent positions on matters such as whether digital assets qualify as securities and if the SEC has the authority to regulate cryptocurrency exchanges. He said that the SEC&#8217;s approach has caused confusion and undermined trust in regulatory clarity for digital assets.
Coinbase is the largest cryptocurrency exchange in the U.S., allowing trading for coins such as Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>), Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>), and many more.

Popular podcast host Joe Rogan has endorsed Republican nominee Donald Trump for president. His endorsement came after the latest episode of the Joe Rogan Experience, which featured Elon Musk, was made public.
What Happened: On Monday, while releasing his latest podcast on YouTube and X, formerly Twitter, Rogan announced his support for Trump, saying that the Tesla CEO &#8220;makes the most compelling case&#8221; for the former President.

Joe Rogan Endorses Trump As Elon Musk Presents 'Compelling Case' For Ex-President: Here's What The Duo Discussed

Warning: CHX is at high risk of performing badly

As supply disruptions and market shifts could potentially lead to an increase in oil prices, it's worth considering investments in stable energy stocks Energy Transfer LP (ET), ChampionX Corporation (CHX), and Secure Energy Services (SECYF). These companies are showing good growth momentum in the current landscape. Read on… Oil prices might see growth owing to supply disruptions and changing market dynamics. To capitalize on this trend, one could watch out for shares of solid energy stocks Energy Transfer LP (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/ET/">ET</a>), ChampionX Corporation (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/CHX/">CHX</a>), and Secure Energy Services Inc. (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/SECYF/">SECYF</a>), which are currently showing upward growth momentum.
After experiencing a prolonged downturn, analyst Giovanni Staunovo from UBS suggests that the decline in U.S. crude oil prices could be attributed to traders' skepticism regarding OPEC's capacity to sustain production cuts amid reduced price thresholds.
However, U.S. crude oil prices experienced a slight increase after Hurricane Francine <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/09/12/crude-oil-prices-today.html?msockid=3d25e60d37586a5a314ff2f5360a6b24">disrupted oil production</a> in the Gulf of Mexico before making landfall in Louisiana. The Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement reports that more than 730,000 barrels per day of Gulf oil production are currently shut-in.
UBS now forecasts that oil prices will rise in the short term, with Brent crude expected to exceed $80 per barrel in the coming months.
On another note, the International Energy Agency (IEA) has adjusted its global oil demand growth forecast for 2024 to <a href="https://www.iea.org/reports/oil-market-report-september-2024">900,000 barrels per day</a>, down from 2.1 million barrels per day. This reduction is attributed to a significant slowdown in Chinese oil consumption, which is anticipated to grow by only 180,000 barrels per day this year.
But despite the IEA's downward revision, OPEC <a href="https://oilprice.com/Energy/Crude-Oil/IEA-Slashes-Oil-Demand-Growth-Forecast.html">remains more optimistic</a> about Chinese and global oil consumption growth for the year. OPEC's outlook suggests continued confidence in the resilience of oil demand despite broader economic uncertainties and shifts towards alternative fuels.
Considering these trends, let's examine the fundamentals of three energy stocks that continue to show upward momentum, starting with #3.
Stock #3: Energy Transfer LP (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/ET/">ET</a>)
ET owns and manages a diversified portfolio of energy assets, including over 130,000 miles of pipelines and associated infrastructure. Its primary operations involve natural gas midstream services, intrastate and interstate transportation and storage of natural gas, crude oil, natural gas liquids, refined product transportation, and terminalling.
On July 16, ET and Sunoco <a href="https://ir.energytransfer.com/news-releases/news-release-details/energy-transfer-and-sunoco-announce-strategic-permian-basin">announced a joint venture</a> to merge their Permian Basin crude oil and water gathering assets, with ET holding a 67.5% stake and serving as the operator.
The venture, managing over 5,000 miles of pipelines and 11 million barrels of storage capacity, would enhance ET's infrastructure and expand its market reach, driving growth and operational efficiency.
On July 15, ET <a href="https://ir.energytransfer.com/news-releases/news-release-details/energy-transfer-completes-acquisition-wtg-midstream">completed its $2.28 billion acquisition</a> of WTG Midstream, adding 6,000 miles of gas-gathering pipelines and eight processing plants to its Permian Basin network.

CHX shareholders will receive 0.735 shares of SLB common stock for each CHX share. Becoming part of SLB would enhance CHX's portfolio, providing the resources and reach to lead in delivering energy sustainably.
