Sony Group Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SONY#NYSE">SONY</a>) and Honda Motor Co Ltd.&#8216;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HMC#NYSE">HMC</a>) joint electric vehicle venture faces significant headwinds as it prepares to enter the U.S. market in 2026, amid expected policy changes under President-elect Donald Trump that could reshape the EV landscape.
What Happened: The partnership, Sony Honda Mobility, will unveil its production-ready Afeela sedan prototype at CES 2025 in Las Vegas next month. While the vehicle&#8217;s hardware is largely complete, developers are fine-tuning the software-centric features that distinguish it from competitors, according to SHM President Izumi Kawanishi, Nikkei <a href="https://asia.nikkei.com/Business/Technology/Tech-Asia/Sony-and-Honda-prepare-for-tough-U.S.-EV-debut-under-Trump">reported</a> on Wednesday.
The timing of Afeela&#8217;s launch coincides with potentially major shifts in U.S. auto policy. Trump&#8217;s anticipated elimination of the current $7,500 EV tax credit could reduce electric vehicle sales by nearly 30%, according to the National Bureau of Economic Research. 
This policy shift has already influenced market dynamics, with Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) shares rallying following Trump&#8217;s election victory.

What Happened: The changing landscape has divided industry analysts. Roth MKM analyst Craig Irwin recently raised Tesla&#8217;s price target by 347% to $380, suggesting established players <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42285783/tesla-bear-craig-irwin-turns-bullish-increases-price-target-from-85-to-380">might benefit from reduced subsidies</a>. However, newcomers like SHM could face additional challenges beyond the subsidy cuts, including potential tariff increases.
Despite these hurdles, SHM is betting on its unique value proposition. The Afeela features 45 cameras and sensors, an entertainment-focused cabin design, and software that can be updated like a smartphone. The company aims to differentiate itself through Sony&#8217;s entertainment and sensor expertise combined with Honda&#8217;s automotive manufacturing capabilities.
&#8220;All businesses have ups and downs,&#8221; Kawanishi noted, emphasizing the venture&#8217;s long-term vision. Industry experts suggest annual sales of 30,000 to 40,000 units would be considered successful for the new entrant in a market dominated by Tesla, which controls approximately half of U.S. EV sales.
EV-focused exchange-traded funds, including Invesco Electric Vehicle Metals Commodity Strategy No K-1 ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EVMT#NASDAQ">EVMT</a>), Amplify Lithium &amp; Battery Technology ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BATT#NYSE">BATT</a>), KraneShares Electric Vehicles and Future Mobility Index ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KARS#NYSE">KARS</a>), and Global X Lithium &amp; Battery Tech ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LIT#NYSE">LIT</a>), have all been trading in the red since Trump&#8217;s election victory on Nov. 6.

Sony-Honda EV Dream Collides With Trump-Backed Policy Shift Reality Ahead Of 2026 US Launch

On Tuesday, Alphabet Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) Google introduced its Veo video generator to select Cloud customers.
What Happened: The AI model, capable of creating short video clips from images and prompts, is now available in private preview on Vertex AI, Google&#8217;s AI development platform.
Veo&#8217;s introduction will allow Quora to integrate the tool into its Poe <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/01/36572871/quoras-vision-for-ai-chatbots-takes-a-giant-leap-with-75m-funding-from-silicon-valleys-andreessen-ho">chatbot platform</a>, while Mondelez International (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MDLZ#NASDAQ">MDLZ</a>), maker of Oreo, plans to use it for marketing content creation with agency partners.
Initially unveiled in April, Veo can produce 1080p clips of up to six seconds, capturing various visual styles and making edits to existing footage.
In a blog post, Warren Barkley, senior director of product management at Google Cloud, stated that the model has been upgraded for enterprise readiness. It now supports high-definition video creation in different aspect ratios.

Veo&#8217;s training involved high-quality, curated datasets, with Google maintaining that its models are primarily trained on publicly available sources.
The tech giant has implemented prompt-level filters and an indemnity policy to address potential copyright issues, ensuring a defense for eligible Veo users against infringement allegations.
Moreover, Google also announced that its flagship image generator, Imagen 3, is now accessible to all Vertex AI customers without the need for a waitlist.
However, its new customization and image editing features are currently available only through a separate waitlist.

Why It Matters: The launch of Google&#8217;s Veo video generator comes amid a competitive landscape where major tech companies are racing to innovate in AI-driven video technology.
In February, OpenAI, the maker of ChatGPT, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42206104/openais-sora-video-model-leak-exposes-deep-rift-with-artists-unpaid-rd-pr-puppets-and-content-approval-fury-what-you-need-to-know">launched its video generator</a>, the Sora AI model. Since its high-profile debut, Sora has faced significant challenges, with errors in video generation quickly highlighting its weaknesses.
Last week, reports surfaced that a group of beta testers leaked the unreleased Sora model, protesting OpenAI&#8217;s handling of artists.
In September 2024, Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) introduced a beta version of its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40960339/amazons-ai-effort-takes-aim-at-a-household-name-with-new-video-technology">AI-powered video generation tool</a>, targeting advertisers. This move positioned Amazon to compete with Adobe Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ADBE#NASDAQ">ADBE</a>), which is also <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/09/40819405/adobe-shakes-up-video-editing-with-ai-powered-creation-tools-whats-on-the-cards">advancing its AI capabilities</a> with the Firefly Video Model.
Later in October, Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) also launched Movie Gen, a tool for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/top-stories/24/10/41188250/metas-movie-gen-brings-ai-powered-video-audio-creation-to-all">creating high-quality videos</a>, images, and audio from text prompts.
Price Action: As of this update, Alphabet&#8217;s Class A shares increased by 0.14% in after-hours trading, reaching $171.58, while Class C shares rose by 0.098% to $173.19. During Tuesday&#8217;s regular session, Class A shares fell by 0.087% to $171.34, while Class C shares gained 0.023%, closing at $173.02, according to <a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/lxquj26b2sag">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

Google's Veo Video Generator Arrives On Cloud: How Oreo Maker Mondelez Is Using AI For Creative Content

XRP (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/xrp/usd">XRP</a>) continued the upward march Tuesday, becoming the third-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization after Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) and Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>).
What happened: The payment-focused cryptocurrency spiked to $2.84 early in the morning hours, just 19% shy of its all-time high. The rally propelled the market valuation to over $160 billion.
Subsequent correction wiped out some of XRP's valuation but was enough to knock Tether (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">USDT</a>) out of third place among the largest cryptocurrencies by market capitalization.
As of this writing, XRP was valued at $143.59 billion, higher than iconic Wall Street companies like Boeing Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) and Nike Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NKE#NYSE">NKE</a>).

Why It Matters: XRP has been one of the breakout performers of the ongoing cryptocurrency market bull run, leaping 82% over the week and nearly 400% in the last month.&nbsp;
The rally has been broadly supported by Donald Trump's presidential victory and a slew of bullish triggers specific to XRP's ecosystem.
Incumbent Securities and Exchange Commission Chair Gary Gensler&#8217;s departure, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42300549/paul-atkins-reportedly-tapped-for-sec-chair-under-trump-administration">reports </a>of cryptocurrency-friendly Paul Atkins succeeding him, jump in filings for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42259460/xrp-beats-solana-to-become-4th-largest-crypto-by-market-cap-on-ripples-rlusd-approval-speculation">spot exchange-traded funds</a> tied to the cryptocurrency, and the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42259460/xrp-beats-solana-to-become-4th-largest-crypto-by-market-cap-on-ripples-rlusd-approval-speculation">imminent launch</a> of Ripple Labs' RLUSD stablecoin.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Noted cryptocurrency analyst Michaël van de Poppe called XRP "the prime indicator" of altcoin strength.
"The last time this explosive move happened, it was the start of the altcoin period," he added.&nbsp;

XRP Becomes Third-Most Valued Crypto — Beats Boeing, Nike In Market Capitalization

Salesforce Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRM#NYSE">CRM</a>) and Palantir Technologies Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NYSE">PLTR</a>) are leading what Wedbush Securities Managing Director Dan Ives describes as an &#8220;AI revolution&#8221; in the enterprise software industry, with Oracle Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ORCL#NYSE">ORCL</a>) set to benefit from the transformation in 2025, Ives said in an interview on Tuesday.
What Happened: Following Salesforce&#8217;s latest earnings report, Ives <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i9X0RqoP1oQ">described</a> the quarter as &#8220;Goldilocks,&#8221; in a CNBC interview highlighting the company&#8217;s stronger-than-expected top-line performance and revenue guidance. 
Salesforce <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/12/42302924/salesforce-q3-earnings-revenue-beat-eps-miss-free-cash-flow-up-30-ai-driving-groundbreaking-transformation-and-more">reported third-quarter</a> revenue of $9.44 billion, with remaining performance obligations up 10%, despite missing bottom-line estimates.
&#8220;This is a phenomenal balance of growth,&#8221; Ives said, dismissing concerns about the earnings miss. &#8220;Right now you want to see them focus on spending, especially when it comes to what they&#8217;re building out from an AI perspective.&#8221;
Salesforce&#8217;s Agent Force initiative could generate &#8220;$5-6 billion a year&#8221; in revenue, according to Ives, who sees &#8220;massive upside&#8221; for the company&#8217;s stock. The enterprise software giant&#8217;s shares closed at $331.43, up 0.13% on Tuesday.

Why It Matters: Meanwhile, Palantir Technologies has emerged as a frontrunner in the AI transformation. The company&#8217;s stock surged 6.88% to close at $70.96 after receiving FedRAMP High Authorization for its Federal Cloud Service, expanding its capability to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/legal/24/12/42292744/whats-going-on-with-palantir-technologies-stock-today-9">serve U.S. government agencies</a>.
Ives emphasized that the AI revolution extends beyond the &#8220;Magnificent Seven&#8221; tech giants, affecting various sectors including software, cybersecurity, and storage. &#8220;The biggest tech trend in the last 40 to 50 years,&#8221; he noted, suggesting investors are comfortable with increased spending as long as companies demonstrate growth and deal flow.
Looking ahead to 2025, Ives sees the AI transformation spreading across the software industry, with Palantir leading the charge followed by Salesforce and Oracle, marking what he calls &#8220;a renaissance of growth&#8221; for the sector.

Palantir Paving The Way For AI Transformation, With Salesforce And Oracle To Follow, Says Dan Ives: The AI Revolution Goes Beyond Magnificent 7

Alex Mashinsky, the disgraced founder and ex-CEO of cryptocurrency lender&nbsp;Celsius Network, admitted guilt to two counts of fraud on Tuesday.
What Happened: Despite his initial plea of not guilty, Mashinsky confessed to two of the seven charges during a hearing before a U.S. District Judge, according to a Reuters report.
The charges included commodities fraud and a&nbsp;scheme to manipulate the price&nbsp;of Celsius (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">CEL</a>), Celsius' in-house token.
Mashinsky admitted to&nbsp;providing Celsius customers with &#8220;false comfort&#8221; by falsely claiming in a 2021 interview that Celsius had received regulatory approval for its &#8220;Earn&#8221; program. He also confessed to not disclosing&nbsp;that he had been selling&nbsp;his CEL holdings, the platform&#8217;s in-house token.
&#8220;I&nbsp;know what I did was&nbsp;wrong, and I want to&nbsp;try to do whatever I&nbsp;can to make it right,&#8221; Mashinsky stated. He&nbsp;agreed not to appeal any&nbsp;sentence of 30 years or&nbsp;less, the maximum sentence for the two counts. His sentencing is scheduled for Apr. 8, 2025.

Influential financial market commentator Peter Schiff said it was &#8220;obvious&#8221; that Mashinsky was a fraudster. He posted an old clip of his argument with Mashinsky over Bitcoin&#8217;s (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) yield-generating potential.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">Celsius founder Alex Mashinsky finally pleaded guilty to two counts of fraud and now faces a maximum 30-year prison sentence.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>

Why It Matters: Mashinsky was <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/23/07/33216173/celsius-ceo-arrested-in-wake-of-crypto-lenders-collapse-sec-files-securities-fraud-lawsuit">charged</a> with&nbsp;seven counts of fraud, conspiracy, and market manipulation in 2023 and subsequently taken into custody. 
His arrest followed the collapse of Celsius Network and a Department of Justice inquiry into the company&#8217;s downfall. The Securities and Exchange Commission also filed a lawsuit against Mashinsky and Celsius, alleging securities fraud.
Celsius was among several prominent <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/22/12/29941575/the-ftx-implosion-serves-as-a-stark-reminder-of-the-technological-promise-of-blockchain">cryptocurrency companies that imploded in 2022</a>. The collapse of Terra (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/luna/usd">LUNA</a>) and a downturn in the digital-asset markets left Celsius with a significant deficit in its balance sheet, rendering it unable to handle a surge in customer withdrawal requests. The company applied for bankruptcy protection in 2022.
However, Celsius managed to officially exit bankruptcy in early 2024, beginning a $3 billion repayment to its creditors. This marked the end of an 18-month restructuring process following the approval of the company&#8217;s reorganization plan by the Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York.

Celsius Network Founder Alex Mashinsky Pleads Guity To Two Counts Of Fraud, Including Manipulating In-House Crypto's Price

KULR Technology Group Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KULR#NASDAQ">KULR</a>) shares are up roughly 72% to $1.39 over the trailing week, though closed marginally lower Tuesday. The company last week was awarded a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/11/g42162713/kulr-awarded-u-s-navy-contract-to-develop-high-temperature-internal-short-circuit-cells-for-enhanc">contract</a> by the U.S. Navy.
KULR early Tuesday also said the company <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/12/g42290212/kulr-announces-immediate-availability-of-nasa-certified-m35a-battery-cells-for-jsc-20793-packs">launched</a> NASA-certified M35A battery cells, qualified for space-ready JSC 20793-compliant battery packs, and integral to NASA&#8217;s Artemis II mission.
What To Know: KULR, in a press release last week, emphasized that this advancement is critical for safety-critical applications, particularly in aviation, where it aligns with the rigorous safety standards of the FAA and EASA.
Originally developed in collaboration with NASA and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, KULR states the ISC devices induce controlled thermal runaway in lithium-ion batteries, enabling safer and more precise testing under highly controlled conditions.
KULR also highlighted that the improved devices will deliver deeper insights into battery performance under extreme conditions, bolstering resilience and enhancing safety across high-stress environments, supporting both military, commercial and industrial applications.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy KULR Stock</h2>
Besides going to a brokerage platform to purchase a share – or fractional share – of stock, you can also gain access to shares either by buying an exchange traded fund (ETF) that holds the stock itself, or by allocating yourself to a strategy in your 401(k) that would seek to acquire shares in a mutual fund or other instrument.
For example, in KULR Tech Group's case, it is in the Industrials sector. An ETF will likely hold shares in many liquid and large companies that help track that sector, allowing an investor to gain exposure to the trends within that segment.
According to data from&nbsp;<a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga Pro</a>, KULR has a 52-week high of $1.67 and a 52-week low of $0.10.

Clegg also admitted that the company &#8220;overdid it a bit&#8221; with content moderation during the pandemic, which seems to be an effort to appease Trump, who has accused Meta of censorship.

Why It Matters: Earlier this year, Trump had threatened legal action against Zuckerberg, accusing him of plotting against him while appearing friendly during visits to the Oval Office.
In July this year, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39759624/meta-removes-heightened-penalties-on-donald-trumps-accounts-a-day-after-ex-president-threatens-to-pu">Meta lifted additional restrictions</a> on Trump&#8217;s accounts, after he threatened to take legal action against Zuckerberg.
Meanwhile, Meta reported <a 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">third-quarter revenue</a> of $40.59 billion, surpassing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/earnings">analyst expectations</a> of $40.29 billion. The company also reported adjusted earnings of $6.03 per share for the quarter, exceeding the projected $5.25 per share.

This marks the seventh straight quarter in which Meta has outperformed analyst estimates for both revenue and earnings, <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/">according to Benzinga Pro</a>.
Price Action: Meta&#8217;s stock rose 3.51% on Tuesday, finishing the day at $613.65. During after-hours trading, it saw a slight uptick of 0.059%, reaching $614.01. Year-to-date, Meta&#8217;s shares have surged by 77.21%, significantly outperforming the Nasdaq 100 index, which has gained 28.32% in the same period.

Analyst Notes: Widely followed cryptocurrency analyst Justin Bennett made a bold prediction about Ethereum's future price moves.
"If I&#8217;m right about ETH, it trades back to $1,000 from current levels. If I&#8217;m wrong, Ethereum breaks $3,700 to target $4,000," he said. "I&#8217;ve placed my bet. I&#8217;ll be here to call out levels to watch if I&#8217;m right or admit if I&#8217;m wrong."

Palantir, Salesforce, Okta, Meta, And Tesla: Why These 5 Stocks Are On Investors' Radars Today

South Korean markets traded sharply lower on Wednesday following a dramatic political upheaval that saw President Yoon Suk Yeol briefly impose and then quickly withdraw martial law <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/12/42301885/south-korea-etfs-won-pare-losses-as-yoon-makes-u-turn-on-martial-law-declaration">after facing parliamentary opposition</a>.
What Happened: The benchmark Kospi index fell 1.15% to 2,471.27, while the tech-heavy Kosdaq 100 dropped 2.64% as of 9:49 am local time, according to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">data from Benzinga Pro</a>. 
The political uncertainty particularly affected major technology and industrial stocks, with Samsung Electronics Co. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SSNLF#OTC">SSNLF</a>) declining 1.12%.
NVIDIA Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) supplier SK Hynix (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HXSCF#OTC">HXSCF</a>) saw its shares drop 0.061%.

South Korean Markets Plunge Amid Political Turmoil As President Yoon's Martial Law U-Turn Sparks Uncertainty: Samsung, SK Hynix, And Hyundai Stocks Tumble

On Tuesday, Pershing Square Capital Management CEO Bill Ackman slammed what he said were attempts by the Biden administration to &#8220;make permanent the Deep State&#8221; in a post on X. 
What Happened: Ackman said, &#8220;Biden is attempting to make permanent the Deep State before he leaves office by burdening the government with untenable contracts so that [Donald Trump] and [Department of Government Efficiency] cannot succeed.&#8221;
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter">

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
 He said, &#8220;This needs to stop now.&#8221; The post evoked a reaction from Elon Musk, who is the co-lead of the potential government advisory commission under the upcoming Trump administration. Ackman also shared a Bloomberg <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-12-03/biden-administration-locks-in-wfh-policies-for-some-federal-staff-ahead-of-trump">report</a> which noted that the move that could potentially disrupt President-elect Trump&#8217;s plans to reshape the federal workforce, the Biden administration has secured hybrid work protections for tens of thousands of federal employees.
The American Federation of Government Employees and the Social Security Administration reached an agreement last week, safeguarding telework until 2029. The AFGE represents 42,000 SSA workers. Biden&#8217;s recently departed SSA Commissioner Martin O&#8217;Malley finalized a new deal that protects the worker&#8217;s current remote work agreements.
The report suggested that unions have been pushing the Biden administration to renew collective bargaining agreements with federal employees ahead of the Trump inauguration on January 20.

Why It Matters: DOGE been vocal about their plans to cut government spending and streamline operations. Musk has been using his social media platform to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/42154736/elon-musks-social-media-onslaught-targets-federal-employees">criticize specific government departments and individuals</a>.
Musk and Ramaswamy have <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42140065/with-musk-and-ramaswamy-preparing-to-slash-entire-government-agencies-heres-which-departments-employ-the-most-americans-and-their-salaries">hinted at the possibility</a> of reducing or eliminating certain federal agencies, as reported by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42140065/with-musk-and-ramaswamy-preparing-to-slash-entire-government-agencies-heres-which-departments-employ-the-most-americans-and-their-salaries">Benzinga</a>. The recent move by the Biden administration to secure WFH policies could potentially complicate these plans.
Ackman said earlier this month that he would consider joining DOGE. Notably, Ackman is a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/health-care/24/11/41849583/bill-ackman-says-hed-consider-joining-elon-musks-department-of-government-efficiency-under-trump">strong supporter</a> of the President-elect and has stated that he is unfazed by market reactions to a second Trump administration.
Notably, the buzz around DOGE has propelled Dogecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/doge/usd">DOGE</a>) at times. The latest <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/12/42258934/dogecoin-bounces-9-after-bernie-sanders-views-align-with-elon-musks-doge-department">such boost</a> came when Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) expressed support for Musk&#8217;s plan to ax wasteful defense spending.

Chad Chronister, Florida's Hillsborough County Sheriff, said in a post on X Tuesday evening that he will continue his duties as a Florida sheriff.
"Over the past several days, as the gravity of this very important responsibility set in, I've concluded that I must respectfully withdraw from consideration," Chronister wrote. He did not elaborate, and Trump's transition team did not immediately respond to a message from AP seeking comment.
"There is more work to be done for the citizens of Hillsborough County and a lot of initiatives I am committed to fulfilling," Chronister continued. "I sincerely appreciate the nomination, outpouring of support by the American people, and look forward to continuing my service as Sheriff of Hillsborough County."

<figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Chronister's nomination came at a pivotal time for the DEA, particularly as the agency navigates the federal marijuana rescheduling process. He had advocated for marijuana decriminalization, calling it the "right thing to do" as "society is evolving." Though Florida Gov.

Trump's DEA Pick Withdraws From Consideration, Will Keep Job As Florida Sheriff

Planet 13 Holdings (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLNH#OTC">PLNH</a>), a key player in the cannabis retail and cultivation space has seen its stock drop 29% over the last 30 days, reflecting broader market pressures. However, the company presents an attractive opportunity for investors, given its discounted valuation relative to peers and its substantial growth prospects, particularly in Florida.

You can&#8217;t afford to miss out if you're serious about the business.</li>
</ul>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Valuation: Discounted Yet Attractive</h3>
PLNHF is trading at $0.40 per share, with an enterprise value (EV) of $137 million, factoring in net cash of $19 million, net leases, and tax debt. A sales multiple is a common valuation metric that compares a company's market value to its revenue. This places PLNHF at a 1.1x sales multiple, lower than its competitors: Green Thumb Industries (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GTBIF#OTC">GTBIF</a>) and Curaleaf (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CURLF#OTC">CURLF</a>), both at 2x, and AYR Wellness (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AYRWF#OTC">AYRWF</a>) at 1.5x. PLNHF's lower multiple suggests it is valued more cheaply relative to these competitors, meaning investors are paying less for each dollar of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/41861161/planet-13-slashes-costs-66-revenue-grows-losses-shrink-is-this-the-turning-point">PLNHF's revenue</a> compared to the others.
<a href="https://zuanicgroup.com/">Zuanic &amp; Associates</a> notes, "PLNH trades at 1.1x current sales vs. 1.5x for the group and 2x for the likes of Green Thumb and Curaleaf."

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Growth Catalysts And Regulatory Exposure</h3>
While PLNHF lacks "regulatory unlock" optionality in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/ohio-cannabis">Ohio</a> and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/pennsylvania-cannabis">Pennsylvania</a>, where potential legalization could offer future upside, the company's Florida expansion is poised to drive growth. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/pablo-zuanic">Zuanic points out</a>, "With several <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/03/37680463/how-company-planet-13-cannabis-company-stays-green-amid-23m-revenue-and-red-ink-q4-2023-financia">organic growth catalysts</a> and a strong balance sheet, PLNH's downside risk is minimized compared to peers."
In Florida, the company plans to open 8 new stores by the end of 2024 and improve cultivation yields by 40%. PLNHF is also expanding its Nevada retail operations.
Zuanic explained that despite missing out in states like Ohio and Pennsylvania, PLNHF holds a solid financial position.&nbsp;

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Bottom Line: Think Long-Term&nbsp;</h3>
Despite short-term challenges, PLNHF's strategic growth initiatives—especially in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/05/38955155/floridas-marijuana-market-could-drive-139-revenue-spike-for-planet-13-fourfold-mark">Florida</a> and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/07/39677795/planet-13-joins-fight-nights-sponsors-ufc-fighter-and-mma-cannabis-friendly-watch-parties-in-veg">Nevada</a>—position the company for long-term success.

Aswath Damodaran, finance professor at New York Univerisity&#8217;s Stern School of Business, told Bloomberg Television on Monday that he recommends buying any of the Magnificent Seven <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/24/11/42143676/which-magnificent-7-stock-should-doj-target-next-benzinga-poll-finds-over-50-say">stocks on dips. </a>
What To Know: Corrections will occur and "I'd suggest that when that happens you find a way to add at least one, maybe two or three of these companies, because these are so much part of what drives the economy and the market," Damodaran said.

It has been difficult to buy the dip on a Magnificent Seven stock as the tech giants have climbed throughout 2024. The Roundhill Magnificent Seven ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MAGS#NASDAQ">MAGS</a>) offers equal-weight exposure to the Magnificent Seven stocks and is up nearly 60% year-to-date. 
"As a value investor, I have never seen cash machines as lucrative as these companies are," Damodaran said. "And I don't see the cash machine slowing down."
Apple, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) and Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) continue jockeying for the top position as the largest company in terms of market capitalization. Apple currently holds the largest market cap at $3.67 trillion, while Nvidia is in second place with a market cap of $3.44 trillion. Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) remains in third with a market capitalization of $3.21 trillion. 
Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>), formerly the laggard of the seven, has gained more than 40% over the past month. CEO Elon Musk has grown into a trusted advisor of President-elect Donald Trump and investors are betting Tesla <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/12/42283558/elon-musks-doge-co-lead-already-targeting-tesla-rivals-vivek-ramaswamy-flags-stellantis-75b-loan-days-after-criticizing-rivians-66b-loan">will benefit</a> under the Trump administration.

What's Going On With Magnificent 7 Stocks?

French Prime Minister Michel Barnier faces a critical vote of no confidence tomorrow (Dec. 4) after invoking Article 49.3 to pass a controversial 2025 austerity budget <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/france">without parliamentary approval</a>.
The move, designed to address France's soaring deficit with $42 billion in spending cuts and $21 billion in tax hikes, has polarized the fractured National Assembly. Marine Le Pen's National Rally and the leftist New Popular Front have united in opposition, calling for Barnier's ouster. In on interview on TV today, Barnier warned that if the motion succeeds, millions of French citizens could face economic instability, including rising interest rates and tax hikes, <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/live/2024/dec/03/france-no-confidence-motion-government-budget-michel-barnier-latest-updates">per</a> the Guardian.
A failure to secure support would result in Barnier's government being the shortest-lived in modern French history, he only took office in September, further destabilizing the eurozone. President Emmanuel Macron would then need to appoint a new prime minister to navigate the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39657677/french-elections-take-a-surprising-turn-as-left-poised-for-victory-what-does-that-mean-for-the-marke">deeply divided parliament</a>.
France has often been a volatile market for foreign companies, but its size, manpower, favorable geographical position, and pole position in global tourism have made it a lucrative economy.
The following publicly listed companies have exposure to the French economy.
McDonald's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MCD#NYSE">MCD</a>) has been operating in France since 1972. Since then, it has grown into a network of 1,485 restaurants — the most in Europe — generating billions in revenue. However, the franchise got caught evading taxes after a trade union asked the company to raise wages and introduce profit-sharing bonuses. Eventually, the firm <a href="https://drupal-cloudfront.benzinga.com/news/22/06/27724606/mcdonalds-agrees-to-settle-french-tax-case-for-1-3b-wsj">paid a $1.3 billion fine</a>.
Walt Disney Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIS#NYSE">DIS</a>) opened its resort in Paris in 1992, growing it into one of the top attractions in Europe. Around 16.1 million tourists visited the park in 2023, generating $343 million in profits. The park is the largest single-site employer in the country, with 17,000 workers — making it prone to strikes that last occurred in 2023. Despite its popularity, the park has been a problematic part of Disney's portfolio and is often a drain on its resources.
IBM (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IBM#NYSE">IBM</a>) has a long-standing relationship with France as one of the IT pioneers that expanded overseas seeking foreign talent.  Nowadays, IBM has over 7,000 employees in the country, working on technology services, cloud computing, AI and digital transformation solutions for businesses.
Carmaker Stellantis NV (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STLA#NYSE">STLA</a>) has a vital presence in the country, owing to its origins in the French PSA Group. It is the fourth largest automotive firm by sales, managing established brands like Citroen, Peugeot and DS Automobiles. Stellantis currently has five operating factories in different regions, producing at least 14 different models.
For investors monitoring broad exposure to domestically incorporated French companies there is iShares MSCI France ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EWQ#NYSE">EWQ</a>). It holds 60 largest French companies, including market leaders such as LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton SE (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LVMUY#OTC">LVMUY</a>), Schneider Electric, TotalEnergies SE (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TTE#NYSE">TTE</a>) and Airbus SE (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EADSY#OTC">EADSY</a>).

Key Stocks, ETF To Watch As French Government Faces No-Confidence Vote

Social media platform Threads, which is a part of Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) is rolling out new search tools as it looks to compete with X and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42156013/bluesky-adds-millions-of-users-as-elon-musks-social-media-platform-faces-exodus-post-trump-win-here-are-a-few-starter-packs-to-help-you-get-going-on-latest-x-rival">fast-growing competitor Bluesky.</a>
What Happened: Threads, which like Bluesky, has been trending and gaining new subscribers as <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/41872302/taylor-swift-fans-abandon-elon-musks-x-for-bluesky-how-trumps-election-victory-triggered-swifties-uprising">people look for </a>alternatives to Elon Musk's X platform.
The Meta-owned company announced new search tools, which include the option to refine searches by a profile and date range. The update will roll out globally over the coming weeks, <a href="https://www.threads.net/@threads/post/DDFkqNuPil1">according </a>to the company.
"We're making it easier for you to search for specific posts here," the company said.
While the new search tools still pale in comparison to ways to find posts on X, Threads can better compete with Bluesky, according to a <a href="https://techcrunch.com/2024/12/02/threads-takes-on-bluesky-with-more-advanced-search/">report </a>from TechCrunch.
On Bluesky, users can search by user profiles and date ranges.
Prior to the latest Threads update, the platform offered basic search functions like using a keyword and then narrowing results based on top results or recent results.

Why It's Important: In October, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg said Threads had around 275 million monthly users, averaging around one million signups daily.
Bluesky has also seen strong growth in recent months with users looking for alternates to X since the 2024 election. Bluesky had around nine million users in October and has grown to around 24 million users, according to the report.
Outside of the new search tools, Threads recently made changes that included users being able to choose their default feed.
The focus on new features could show how serious Meta is about growing Threads and/or come as Bluesky is growing in the sector.
"Engagement is growing too, so we continue to be on track towards this becoming our next major social app," Zuckerberg said in October of Threads.
At the time, Meta Chief Financial Officer Susan Li also said there were plans to bring more features to Threads given the growth potential.
&#8220;We&#8217;re very focused on continuing to build out the sort of functionality of Threads over time and being responsive to what users tell us that they&#8217;re interest in," Li said.
META Price Action: Meta Platforms stock hit an all-time high of $614.20 Tuesday before closing up 3.51% to $613.65. The stock is up 77% year-to-date in 2024.

Pure Storage Enters Collaboration With Kioxia To Addresses The Growing Demand For Scalable Storage Infrastructure

Gamers are spending more time watching gaming content than actually playing games, according to a new <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/gaming/24/08/40403494/gaming-industry-shows-signs-of-recovery-in-2024-report">report.</a>
The study, conducted by Midia Research (<a href="https://www.gamesindustry.biz/new-report-claims-gamers-spend-more-time-watching-videos-about-gaming-than-playing-games">via</a> GamesIndustry.biz), reveals that gamers average 8.5 hours weekly watching game-related videos on platforms like Alphabet Inc&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>)(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) YouTube and Twitch, compared to 7.4 hours actively gaming.

This trend presents a significant revenue opportunity for game publishers, the report suggests.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">The Shift Toward Gaming Video Content</h1>
Midia&#8217;s findings show the growing dominance of video content in the gaming world. About 24% of console and PC players, along with 48% of &#8220;in-game buyers,&#8221; regularly consume game-related content, with the latter group identified as &#8220;high-spending gamers.&#8221; These numbers signal an untapped market within the gaming ecosystem.
According to Midia, game publishers are losing potential revenue to third-party platforms, particularly in advertising. This loss is significant at a time when the gaming industry faces challenges to sustain growth.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Reclaiming Engagement and Revenue</h1>
"It's time for game publishers to think about in-game video as something beyond marketing alone," said Rhys Elliott, games analyst at Midia Research. 
&#8221;By reclaiming video engagement, publishers have the potential to unlock new revenue streams, like advertising and drive growth,&#8221; he added.
