&nbsp;
Like the entire telecommunications industry, T-Mobile has been closely monitoring ongoing reports about a series of highly coordinated cyberattacks by bad actors known as "Salt Typhoon" that are reported to be linked to Chinese state-sponsored operations. Many reports claim these bad actors have gained access to some providers' customer information over an extended period of time – phone calls, text messages, and other sensitive information, particularly from government officials. This is not the case at T-Mobile. To clear up some misleading media reports, here is what we're currently seeing, much of which we believe is different from what is being seen by other providers.
<ul>
<li>Within the last few weeks, we detected attempts to infiltrate our systems by bad actors. This originated from a wireline provider's network that was connected to ours.</li>
<li>We see no instances of prior attempts like this.</li>
<li>Our defenses protected our sensitive customer information, prevented any disruption of our services, and stopped the attack from advancing. Bad actors had no access to sensitive customer data (including calls, voicemails or texts).</li>
<li>We quickly severed connectivity to the provider's network as we believe it was – and may still be – compromised.</li>
<li>We do not see these or other attackers in our systems at this time.</li>
<li>We cannot definitively identify the attacker's identity, whether Salt Typhoon or another similar group, but we have reported our findings to the government for assessment.</li>
</ul>
Simply put, our defenses worked as designed – from our layered network design to robust monitoring and partnerships with third-party cyber security experts and a prompt response – to prevent the attackers from advancing and, importantly, stopped them from accessing sensitive customer information. Other providers may be seeing different outcomes.
We have shared what we've learned with industry and government leaders as we collectively work to combat these large-scale, sophisticated national threats. Last week, I had the opportunity to join a meeting at the White House with other leaders to discuss how we're mitigating these threats. As we all have a mutual goal to protect American consumers, we felt it was important to communicate more about what we've seen with providers who may still be fighting these adversaries.

Sets Record Straight on Mischaracterization of AIM's Historical Share Price
Reminds AIM Shareholders of Activist Group's Numerous Lies, Omissions and Misrepresentations in Multi-Year Effort to Take Control of the Board
Urges Shareholders to Safeguard AIM by Voting "FOR" ALL Four of the Board's Incumbent Candidates and Discarding Any Proxy Materials Received from the Activist Group
AIM ImmunoTech Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AIM#NYSE">AIM</a>) ("AIM" or the "Company") today issued the following statement refuting the false and misleading claims recently made by a group of activist investors (collectively, the "Activist Group") relating to their multi-year attempt to take over AIM's Board of Directors (the "Board") at the upcoming 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the "Annual Meeting"), presently scheduled for December 17, 2024.
Since 2016, the Board and management team have worked to overcome multiple obstacles, refocus the Company's clinical development programs to high-value indications, improve its financial condition and lay the foundation for long-term shareholder value creation. To be clear, the Board and management are unhappy with the Company's stock price performance – but they are doing everything possible to continue the significant momentum with Ampligen – which is ultimately what will create long-term value for all shareholders.

AIM ImmunoTech Refutes Activist Group's False And Misleading Claims; Urges Shareholders To Safeguard Aim By Voting "For" All Of The Board's Incumbent Candidates And Discarding Any Proxy Materials Received From The Activist Group

Having $1 million in the bank <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42173927/how-rich-are-you-find-out-whether-you-rank-as-upper-middle-or-lower-class-based-on-income-and-other-factors">would make someone feel rich</a>. But in America today, nearly 70% of millionaires don't consider themselves wealthy, according to a 2024 Northwestern Mutual research study. That's right – 70%. What's behind this surprising self-perception? It turns out that it's not just about how much money they have but how they measure up in a world where the definition of "wealthy" keeps shifting.
Don't Miss:
<ul>
<li>Can you guess how many Americans successfully retire with $1,000,000 saved?<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/1milsaved"> The percentage may shock you</a>.</li>
<li><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/are-you-rich">Are you rich?</a> Here&#8217;s what Americans think you need to be considered wealthy.</li>
</ul>
Wealth Isn't What It Used to Be
A million dollars once felt like an untouchable milestone. Many millionaires say it's not enough to feel "rich." According to a Charles Schwab survey, Americans believe it takes $2.5 million in net worth to be considered wealthy – up from $2.2 million just two years ago in 2022. Even financial security feels out of reach for some, with the average person saying they'd need $778,000 just to feel comfortable.
Why? It's partly because wealth is relative. The value of a dollar depends on where you live and how much your neighbors earn. A seven-figure net worth may sound impressive, but in cities like <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/11/41953504/can-you-guess-which-state-has-the-highest-concentration-of-millionaire-households-heres-a-hint-its-not-new-york-or-california">San Francisco or New York</a>, owning a home, covering child care and keeping up with rising living costs can be a struggle.

This comes at a time when Americans are wealthier than ever. In fact, there are more millionaires in the U.S. today than at any point in history. Recent data shows that household net worth across the country has surpassed $160 trillion, while the number of individuals with a liquid net worth of $1 million or more has hit a record high.&nbsp;
The Trap of Lifestyle Creep
Another factor is what financial planners call "lifestyle creep." As people make more money, their expenses tend to rise just as quickly. Millionaires aren't immune to this. Earning more often leads to spending more – on bigger homes, luxury cars and private schools. Eric Roberge, a certified financial planner, explains to Investopedia that it still feels tight whether they're making $50,000 or $500,000. "The expenses are still there. They're just bigger," he added.
This pattern makes it tough to feel wealthy, even when the income looks substantial. The margin between what they earn and spend can feel precariously thin for many.

Retirement Worries Are Universal
It's easy to assume that millionaires would feel more secure about retirement and in some ways, they do. The survey found nearly 87% of high-net-worth individuals feel prepared for retirement, compared to just 54% of the general population. But that doesn't mean they're worry-free. Concerns about taxes, health care costs and outliving their savings keep even the wealthiest up at night.
The tax burden, in particular, is a major issue. With most retirement accounts taxed upon withdrawal, even millionaires worry about how much of their savings will be left after Uncle Sam takes his cut.

Financial Discipline Over Flash
Interestingly, despite not feeling rich, millionaires tend to be more disciplined with their money than average people. About 78% of millionaires identify as "disciplined financial planners," compared to 45% of the general population. Many work closely with financial advisors, with 69% enlisting professional help versus only 33% of non-millionaires.
This focus on planning, rather than feeling wealthy highlights a key mindset among millionaires. They prioritize protecting and growing their assets over indulging in the trappings of wealth.
Trending: Studies show 50% of consumers think Financial Advisors cost much more than they do —<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/money-pickle"> to debunk this, this company provides matching for free and a complimentary first call with the matched advisor.</a>
The Self-Made Majority
Here's another surprising twist: most millionaires are self-made. The study found that nearly 80% of millionaires earned wealth through hard work and smart financial decisions. Only 11% inherited their money and just 6% came into it through a windfall like winning the lottery.
This self-made status contributes to their cautious mindset. They've built their fortunes, often through years of saving and investing and they're acutely aware of how easily it could all disappear.
Rethinking ‘Rich'
Next time you hear someone say, "A million dollars isn't what it used to be," know they're probably right. In today's world, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/10/41499567/do-you-know-what-you-need-to-be-rich-heres-what-people-think-you-need-vs-what-data-says-actually">being rich</a> is about much more than the numbers in your bank account – it's about how those numbers stack up to the life you're trying to live.
If you want to feel more secure about your financial future – no matter your income – <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/can-you-guess-how-many-americans-successfully-retire-with-1-million-saved">consulting a financial advisor</a> can be a smart move to build a plan that works for you.

<h3>About Roblox</h3>
Roblox operates an online video game platform with 80 million daily active users that lets young gamers create, develop, and monetize games (or "experiences") for other players. The firm offers its developers a hybrid of a game engine, publishing platform, online hosting and services, marketplace with payment processing, and social network. The platform is a closed garden that Roblox controls, earning $3.5 billion in bookings in 2023 through in-game purchases and advertising while benefiting from outsourced game development. Unlike traditional video game publishers, Roblox is more focused on the creation of new tools and monetization techniques for its developers than creating new games or franchises.

What the Options Market Tells Us About Roblox

Economist and trader Alex Krüger on Wednesday shared his prediction of potential stages for the remainder of the bull market, anticipating Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) to lead the way for<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/bitcoin-price-prediction"> a broader market rally.</a>
What Happened: In a <a href="https://x.com/krugermacro/status/1860543189939290227">post</a> on X, shared seven potential stages, based on patterns observed in 2021 and 2024. 
Bitcoin rallies in Stage 1, sparking a broader market uptrend, leading meme coins to join in stage 2.
In stage 3, altcoins join the rally, followed by an initial correction or &#8220;flush,&#8221; which the analyst foresees at Bitcoin prices of around $110,000 to $120,000. 
Stage 4 sees the &#8220;mania&#8221; continue into Christmas or the inauguration. 
Also Read: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/42214467/bitcoins-2020-thanksgiving-massacre-to-repeat-or-is-the-holiday-a-turning-point-for-new-highs">Bitcoin&#8217;s 2020 &#8216;Thanksgiving Massacre&#8217; To Repeat Or Is The Holiday A &#8216;Turning Point For New Highs&#8217;?</a>
A secondary, less intense rally in stage 5 would extend into February or early March before a substantial market correction in stage 6, potentially triggered by tax-related profit-taking in March. 
Krüger highlights March as a critical month due to tax season pressures in the U.S., which historically prompts profit-taking.
He advises traders to front-run this trend by taking profits in February to mitigate potential losses during the correction phase. 
Stage 7 would conclude with a smaller, &#8220;less manic&#8221; recovery.
The trader noted the self-reinforcing nature of crypto market patterns, where herd behavior amplifies both rallies and corrections. 
Traders&#8217; historical pain from past losses often drives their decision-making, creating predictable cycles, such as the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/10/41124852/bitcoin-halving-cycle-signals-potential-2024-rally-canaccord-analysts-predict">Bitcoin halving cycle.</a>

Shares of software companies are trading lower possibly amid overall market weakness. Multiple software stocks fell after Q3 financial results.

In the current session, the stock is trading at $18.24, after a 0.55% spike. Over the past month, Huntington Bancshares Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HBAN#NASDAQ">HBAN</a>) stock increased by 14.71%, and in the past year, by 60.35%. With performance like this, long-term shareholders are optimistic but others are more likely to look into the price-to-earnings ratio to see if the stock might be overvalued.

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1732737613_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>A Look at Huntington Bancshares P/E Relative to Its Competitors</h3>
The P/E ratio measures the current share price to the company's EPS. It is used by long-term investors to analyze the company's current performance against it's past earnings, historical data and aggregate market data for the industry or the indices, such as S&amp;P 500. A higher P/E indicates that investors expect the company to perform better in the future, and the stock is probably overvalued, but not necessarily. It also could indicate that investors are willing to pay a higher share price currently, because they expect the company to perform better in the upcoming quarters. This leads investors to also remain optimistic about rising dividends in the future. 
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of the 19.3 in the Banks industry, Huntington Bancshares Inc. has a lower P/E ratio of 17.61. Shareholders might be inclined to think that the stock might perform worse than it's industry peers. It's also possible that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1732737613_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In summary, while the price-to-earnings ratio is a valuable tool for investors to evaluate a company's market performance, it should be used with caution. A low P/E ratio can be an indication of undervaluation, but it can also suggest weak growth prospects or financial instability. Moreover, the P/E ratio is just one of many metrics that investors should consider when making investment decisions, and it should be evaluated alongside other financial ratios, industry trends, and qualitative factors. By taking a comprehensive approach to analyzing a company's financial health, investors can make well-informed decisions that are more likely to lead to successful outcomes.

Price Over Earnings Overview: Huntington Bancshares

Dick&#8217;s Sporting Goods Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DKS#NYSE">DKS</a>) shares are trading higher Wednesday following several analyst updates. Here&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/DKS/news">what you need to know.</a>
What To Know: Analysts notes are rolling in after Dick's Sporting Goods reported third-quarter financial results on Tuesday. The company reported adjusted earnings per share of $2.75 for the third quarter, surpassing the analyst consensus of $2.68. Revenue for the quarter climbed 0.5% year-over-year to $3.06 billion, beating expectations of $3.03 billion, per <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>.
Dick&#8217;s also raised its full-year 2024 earnings outlook to a new range of $13.65 to $13.95 per share, up from a range of $13.55 to $13.90 per share. Current estimates are calling for full-year earnings of $13.88 per share. Net sales are now projected at $13.2 billion to $13.3 billion, compared to the prior range of $13.1 billion to $13.2 billion.
Multiple analyst firms weighed in on the company&#8217;s quarterly results following the print, which appears to be adding to the momentum in the name this week.
<ul>
<li>UBS upgraded the stock to Buy and increased its price target to $260.</li>
<li>Loop Capital maintained a Hold rating and raised its price target from $220 to $225.</li>
<li>Truist Securities reiterated a Buy rating and slightly raised its price target from $256 to $258.</li>
<li>JPMorgan maintained a Neutral rating and increased its price target from $215 from $230.</li>
</ul>
In a note to clients, JPMorgan analyst Christopher Horvers highlighted Dick&#8217;s solid execution and strategic investments, including elevated store concepts like House of Sport and Field House. However, the analyst flagged risks from elevated inventory levels, which rose 13.5% year-over-year, primarily in footwear and fleece.
Horvers also pointed to Dick's broader strategy of differentiating itself through premium merchandise and omnichannel advancements. While the company continues to expand its market share, JPMorgan expects more modest margin improvements as expenses rise, including rent and SG&amp;A costs.
Telsey analyst Joseph Feldman also noted Dick's strong market position, premium product offerings and momentum from brand partnerships with names like Hoka, On and Nike.
&#8220;These brands, together with its private label portfolio (~13% of sales), have allowed the company to bridge the gap between performance and lifestyle. Dick&#8217;s also continues to elevate and modernize its omnichannel capabilities and roll out new and exciting store concepts, like House of Sport and Field House, making it the go-to destination for all things athletic,&#8221; Feldman said.
What Else: 
<ul>
<li>Store Expansion: Dick&#8217;s opened three House of Sport stores in the third quarter, bringing the total to 19, with plans for 15 more in 2025. The company also launched five new Field House stores and is phasing out its Warehouse Clearance concept in favor of Going, Going, Gone! locations.</li>
<li>GameChanger Growth: The company's SaaS-based GameChanger platform saw 21% growth in unique users year-over-year, contributing to a projected $100 million in 2024 sales.</li>
</ul>
DKS Price Action: Dick&#8217;s Sporting goods shares were up by 0.96% at $214.25 at the time of writing, according to<a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard"> Benzinga Pro.</a>

What's Going On With Dick's Sporting Goods Stock Wednesday?

One year after placing a record-shattering $52 billion order, Emirates Airlines voiced frustration with Boeing (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) over delays in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/aviation">aircraft deliveries</a>.
"We're a frustrated entity because we need airplanes, and we need them now," Emirates President Sir Tim Clark <a href="https://www.bnnbloomberg.ca/business/2024/11/27/emirates-frustrated-with-boeing-as-777x-delays-slow-growth/">told </a>BNN Bloomberg, extending his criticism to Airbus. He blamed both plane makers for being late and providing aircraft that didn't meet his specifications.
Boeing did not immediately respond to Benzinga&#8217;s request for comment.
Clark, who announced the deal at the 2023 Dubai Air Show, expressed uncertainty about when the first 205 Boeing 777X aircraft will finally enter service, as this flagship model is currently five years behind schedule.
Boeing's operational challenges have increased over the years, drawing significant attention after a door plug blew out on an Alaska Airlines 737 MAX flight in January.

Eventually, the company appointed Kelly Ortberg as CEO in August, following his tenure as the leader of Collins Aerospace. Since taking the helm, Ortberg has focused on resolving production bottlenecks, dedicating substantial time to Seattle's manufacturing facilities.
However, a seven-week strike involving 33,000 workers halted most jet production, reducing September deliveries to just 27 737 MAX aircraft, far below the 38 allowed by regulators.
Although management has reached a strike-ending deal, the union failed to reach one of its main goals—the reinstatement of a traditional pension plan that was frozen a year ago. Per HR Brew's <a href="https://www.hr-brew.com/stories/2024/11/01/boeing-and-union-leadership-reach-a-deal-to-end-the-strike-but-will-the-lack-of-a-traditional-pension-kill-it">report</a>, analysts estimated such a deal could cost Boeing over $1.6 billion annually—a sum that the company with negative shareholder equity and over $57 billion in debt cannot afford.
In fact, Boeing still needs to undergo a significant overhaul. To manage financial strain and improve operational efficiency, it will <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/11/42052735/boeing-to-lay-off-over-2500-workers-in-the-us-amid-global-workforce-reduction">cut its global workforce by 10%</a>, totaling 17,000 jobs, including 2,500 in the U.S.
Despite the setbacks, Clark remains cautiously optimistic about Boeing's turnaround under Ortberg&#8217;s leadership, though he stressed the need for visible improvement soon. The delays have forced Emirates to invest $4 billion to upgrade its current fleet of A380s and older 777 jets, bridging the gap until new aircraft arrive.
