Guidance

Genius Sports Sees FY24 Revenue ~$511M Vs $509.95M Est.; Adj. EBITDA Of ~$86M

In the wake of Donald Trump's election victory, Wells Fargo &amp; Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WFC#NYSE">WFC</a>) shares have gained 12% to $72.67 in November, buoyed by optimism around pro-business policies anticipated under a Republican-led administration. 
Trump's promise to extend and expand the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, including further corporate tax reductions, has renewed investor confidence in banking stocks like Wells Fargo, which stands to benefit from a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/11/41772701/trumps-historic-return-7-ways-his-second-term-could-impact-the-us-economy">friendlier tax environment</a> and reduced regulatory constraints.
What To Know: Wells Fargo, one of the United States&#8217; major banks, could experience improved profit margins if corporate tax rates are lowered further. Historically, the bank has also benefited from favorable regulatory changes under Republican administrations.
With the potential rollback of stringent environmental regulations, Wells Fargo's energy financing arm, which includes investments in fossil fuel projects, could see increased activity, further boosting revenue.
Additionally, the heightened inflation likely driven by Trump's proposed tariffs could prompt the Federal Reserve to maintain higher interest rates. For Wells Fargo, as for other banks, higher rates generally mean increased net interest margins, enhancing profitability on loans.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy WFC Stock</h2>
Besides going to a brokerage platform to purchase a share &#8211; or fractional share &#8211; 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 Wells Fargo&#8217;s case, it is in the Financials 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 <a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro</a>, WFC has a 52-week high of $74.27 and a 52-week low of $40.53.

An Overview of FlexShopper's Earnings

Editor&#8217;s note: This story has been updated to more accurately report a quote from Chris Christie that states he is not in favor of cannabis descheduling.
"The U.S. government has got to get its act together and decide what it really thinks on this issue," says <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/chris-christie">Chris Christie</a>, former New Jersey governor and longtime conservative voice, addressing the state of cannabis in America under a new Trump administration. 
In an exclusive conversation with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/cannabis">Benzinga Cannabis</a> facilitated by <a href="https://www.covers.com/politics/us-election-betting-odds">Covers.com</a>, Christie outlines his perspectives on the future of cannabis regulation and cryptocurrency adoption, framing both within a broader trend of deregulation he expects to see under Trump's leadership. As the country moves forward, Christie believes cannabis and crypto are poised to experience significant changes though each industry will need to navigate its own unique challenges.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Christie On Cannabis: &#8216;Trump Will Attempt To Deschedule&#8217;</h2>
Christie begins by tackling the complexities surrounding cannabis regulation, a topic he's been openly conservative about throughout his political career. Although he's traditionally opposed to federal legalization, Christie notes a potential shift under President-elect <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/donald-trump">Donald Trump</a>. "What I suspect he would really like to do is get it downgraded by the DEA so that it&#8217;s not illegal," Christie says. Cannabis remains a Schedule I substance, making it federally illegal despite a growing wave of state-level legalization. For Christie, the legal status presents an obstacle for the industry, particularly regarding banking and financial services. "The trouble the cannabis industry has now is that a lot of people still won't do business with them, because the proceeds are tainted by the fact they are created through a drug that is illegal in the United States."
Christie suggests that descheduling cannabis—removing it from the DEA's list of controlled substances—could provide a workable solution. By changing its classification, he believes, the federal government could make way for legitimate business operations without directly endorsing legalization. "What I think Trump will attempt to do, which I don't favor, is change marijuana to a non-scheduled drug that wouldn&#8217;t be illegal, and then banks and other institutions would be more free to do business with cannabis store owners and entrepreneurs," he says. This stance marks a shift in Christie's approach, where he appears to reconcile his conservative views on cannabis with a pragmatic view of the industry's needs.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Christie On Crypto: Finding A &#8216;Sweet Spot&#8217;</h2>
Beyond cannabis, Christie also weighs in on another hot-button topic: cryptocurrency. Known for its volatility and potential for high returns, crypto has seen a significant uptick in adoption over recent years. With Trump heading to the White House, Christie predicts a favorable environment for crypto's continued expansion. "I think it will develop because he&#8217;ll not be in favor of doing a lot of regulating on it," he says, suggesting that Trump's general stance on deregulation could encourage further growth in the crypto sector.
However, Christie is quick to add a note of caution. "He&#8217;s got to be careful because when real people start to lose their money, and if that were to happen with crypto, they&#8217;re going to want the government to step in." For Christie, the challenge lies in striking a balance between fostering innovation and protecting the public. He stresses what he calls the "sweet spot" where regulation is minimal enough to allow growth, yet sufficient to shield investors from potential losses. "He&#8217;s got to try to find a sweet spot where he can regulate it enough so that grandma is not getting ripped off, but not so much that he puts a cap on its ability to grow and be a driver of America&#8217;s economy."
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Are Christie&#8217;s Evolving Views A Reflection Of GOP&#8217;s Evolution?</h2>
Christie's pragmatic approach to cannabis and cryptocurrency reflects a broader trend within the GOP: a preference for state-led decision-making combined with cautious federal oversight. On cannabis, he continues to support a state-by-state approach, emphasizing that each state should have the freedom to regulate or prohibit cannabis as it sees fit. "The decision should be left to each individual state on cannabis regulation." This perspective aligns with Christie's conservative stance, although he acknowledges that a federal descheduling effort might make life easier for the industry.
With the potential <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/11/41828359/could-trumps-go-wild-on-health-invite-to-rfk-jr-drive-changes-for-cannabis-and-psychedelics">appointment of figures like RFK Jr. to key health positions</a> under a Trump administration, the regulatory landscape for both cannabis and crypto could evolve rapidly over the next four years. As Christie sees it, the approach Trump takes will shape not only the cannabis and crypto markets but also public sentiment and investor confidence. His vision, rooted in deregulation with a careful dose of oversight, aims to balance the drive for innovation with a commitment to public safety—a delicate act in today's rapidly shifting political and economic landscape.

The Analyst Verdict: Amicus Therapeutics In The Eyes Of 8 Experts

ONMD

OneMedNet shares are trading higher after it announced continued investment in Bitcoin which is currently seeing record highs.

Walt Disney Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIS#NYSE">DIS</a>) is expanding its search for a successor to CEO Bob Iger, considering external candidates as the company&#8217;s board, led by incoming Chairman James Gorman, aims to stabilize the succession process.
The move signals a shift from an internal competition among Disney&#8217;s top executives to a broader search, including external contenders such as Andrew Wilson, CEO of Electronic Arts Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EA#NASDAQ">EA</a>), the Wall Street Journal <a target="_blank" href="https://www.wsj.com/business/media/disney-explores-wider-field-of-candidates-to-succeed-iger-d1876792" rel="noreferrer noopener">reports</a>.
According to the report, Disney has partnered with executive search firm Heidrick &amp; Struggles to evaluate potential external candidates, and at least two more contenders have been identified beyond Wilson.

The decision comes as Gorman, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/10/41432091/disneys-leadership-shift-james-gorman-named-as-chairman-ceo-search-underway" rel="noreferrer noopener">set to take over</a> as Chairman in January, pushes for a comprehensive review of candidates, signaling his intent to find the right leader to guide Disney beyond Iger&#8217;s tenure.
The company has announced it plans to finalize its choice for the CEO role by early 2026, delaying its previous timeline.
Wilson, who has previously discussed potential deals with Disney and even interviewed for a senior role at ESPN in 2018, remains a strong external contender.
Recent talks have also explored partnerships between Electronic Arts and Disney&#8217;s ESPN, although these discussions have yet to materialize into a deal, the report states.
The WSJ report says that internally, Disney had four key executives vying for the CEO role: Dana Walden, Alan Bergman, Josh D&#8217;Amaro, and Jimmy Pitaro. Each company manages significant areas of Disney&#8217;s business, from streaming to theme parks.
Last week, Disney launched the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/41720954/disney-creates-new-tech-hub-for-ai-and-ar" rel="noreferrer noopener">Office of Technology Enablement</a> to drive AI and XR innovation across media and parks.
Jim Cramer <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/10/41432091/disneys-leadership-shift-james-gorman-named-as-chairman-ceo-search-underway" rel="noreferrer noopener">showed interest in</a> buying more Disney stock if it dips below $90, stressing the potential value of the company&#8217;s theme parks amid current challenges. Disney laid off 300 corporate employees in September, following earlier cuts of 140 staff in its TV division and 175 at Pixar this year.
The recent U.S. presidential election victory of Donald Trump has also introduced new uncertainties for Disney. Trump&#8217;s criticism of Taiwan and potential changes in trade policies could impact Disney&#8217;s strategic decisions, particularly regarding its international investments and partnerships.
Walt Disney Co stock gained over 10% year-to-date. Investors can gain exposure to the stock through SPDR S&amp;P 500 (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) and iShares Core S&amp;P 500 ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IVV#NYSE">IVV</a>).
Price Actions: DIS stock is down 0.23% at $100.63 at&nbsp;the last check on Tuesday.

Who Will Succeed Disney CEO Bog Iger?

Genius Group shares are trading higher after the company announced it adopted a Bitcoin treasury reserve strategy.

Alex Fazel, Chief Partnership Officer at Swissborg, sees Dogecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/doge/usd">DOGE</a>) as the "best Trump proxy", highlighting its potential to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/education/24/11/41882342/heres-how-much-100-in-dogecoin-today-could-be-worth-if-doge-hits-new-all-time-highs-2#:~:text=If%20Dogecoin%20can%20return%20to,more%20%E2%80%9CMuch%20Wow%E2%80%9D%20moments.">reach one dollar</a>.
What Happened: Fazel shared his portfolio in a <a href="https://x.com/tradetheflow_/status/1856290955244253659">post</a> on X, saying that meme coins make up a small and speculative portion of his holdings, while his primary investments are Bitcoin, Solana, Ethereum and a few DeFi and AI projects.
Fazel sees Goatseus Maximus (CRYPTO: GOAT) as an "OG meme" with staying power, recently gaining a Bybit listing and potentially a Binance spot listing soon.
His other meme holdings include Popcat (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">POPCAT</a>), Toshi (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">TOSHI</a>) and Peanut The Squirrel (CRYPTO: PNUT) as a rising mascot meme. Toshi and Popcat are each &#8220;backed by strong communities,&#8221; according to the expert. 
He predicted, "After a long period of consolidation, the chart also looks ready to send."
